PROSPECTUS.

This Company has erected the Alexandra Palace upon
Muswell Hill, from plans and designs by Messrs. Meeson
and Johnson. It is a substantial building of noble pro-
portions, covtiring 250,000 square feet, and the interior
has been very handsomely decorated in the Italian style
by Mr. Schmidt, after designs by Mr Johnson.
The Palace, commanding most varied and interesting
views over the counties of Middlesex, Essex, Kent, and
Hertfordshire, is situated in a beautiful Park of about 200
acres, wbich iras been dkrefully,laittout,:and planted; and
is secured to the Company -for 990 y,4aifik 4it e groliaii-rent
of £lO,OOO per annum. ' • ,
It is within easy walking distance of a large portion of
the vast population of about 2,000,000 living north of the
1 hames. Carriages can approach it on a nearly level road
by the Green-lanes to Wood-green, or by Crouch-end and
IJornsey. The Metropolitan and Loudon' Chatham, and
Dover lines, in connection with the Great Northern Rail-
way, run trains at frequent intervals from all parts of Lon-
don to Wood-green, which station adjoins the Park, and
Acts have been obtained for other railways, which will
run to the North Terrace of the Palace, so that all will be
able;by road or rail, to visit these beautiful grounds and
enjoy the amusements which will be provided.
The Directors desire to make the Alexandra Palace and
Park auxiliary to the great institutions of the British
Museum, Kew Gardens, and South Kensington, in creating
a taste for the study of the productions of nature, and of
the works of art and industry of ail countries. Every p)s-
sible inducement will be offered to exhibitors of works of
Fine Art, Painting and Sculpture, of Art Manufactures,
and of working and other Models illustrative of existing
industries and new inventions.

With a view to obtain Works of Foreign Art and In-
dustry communications are in progress with many of the
foreign CoMmissieners of the late French Exhibition,
many -of whom, the Directors aro happy to say, have
shown great interest in the undertakiug, and desire to
support it.
The Palace, from its construction, is specially adapted
for Musical Festivals and Concerts, and a Grand Organ is
being erected by Mr. under the superintendence of
Mr. Costa, which will be the largest and most perfect in-
strument in England.
The Park is admirably adapte 1 for Flower Shows and
other exhibitions. private and public, of every description.
A first-rate Cricket Ground is formed, and Pavilions are
erected, with ample accommodation for Cricketers, Archery
Fetes, Guu Clubs, and every kind of National Sport and
Out-door amusement.
An excellent Race-course is formed in the Park, and a
Grand Stand is erected, which is the most commodious in
England, and it is proposed to hold three meetings yearly.
The Races just hell under the p itroaag, of the Jockey
Club have proved a decided succdse, and these popular
gatherings will attract large numbers, and materially in-
crease the revenue of the Company.
Particular attention will be directed to the Refreshment
INtpartmeet, which will be a source of considerable profit.
The averiveekross annual receipts of the Crystal Palace
for the last five' years have been £125,000. The expense
of maintaining and repairing the Alexandra Palace, from
the substantial nature of its construction, will be consi-
derably less than that of the Crystal Palace ; while, with
such opportunities for providing for the entertainment of
the public, the profits upon the small capital must be amply
remunerative to the shareholders.
A Plan of the Park and Palace accompanies this
prospectus.
Discount at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum will be
allowed on calls paid in advance,
Special attention is called to the fact that the Preference
Shares now offered will carry with them the privilege of
Life Free Admissions on all ordinary occasions.
Applieatione for shaees will be received by the Bankers
of the Company. 'ln the event of no allotment being
made the amount,paid will be returned in full, should a less
number of gliaieVlie allotted than aro applied for the
amount paid will, 'sc.). far as required, be applied towards
thb payment due on allotment.

at 61, Ethelburgaellouse, Bishopsgate-street, E.C. ; and at
the Bankers and Solicitors of the Company.
