OFFICES 5, FISBER STREET, Swansea. PROSPECTUS. HPHIS Company is formed for the purpose of Establishing a Superior Hotel at Swansea, the want of which has for a long period been greatly felt. The population has doubled itself within the past few years, and the trade so largely increased, that Swansea has become one of the main comwercial centres of tht kingdom. The smelting of the ores of copper, silver, and other metals, is very extensively carried on in the immediate neighbourhood of the town, and the export and import trades are daily becoming more important. These trades bring large numbers of persons to the dis- trict, and it is of constant occurrence that private houses have to be put in requisition to afford that accommodation which the existing Hotel system is quite incompetent to supply. Provisional contracts have been entered into for the purchase of the Castle Hotel, with an extended Lease of the same and the adjoining Shop and Premises, also for the Purchase of other Freehold Properties, forming a large portion of, the frontage of one side of Castle-square. The Hotel, in addition to the usual family and com- mercial portions, will have annexed to it a commodious Club House for Members, a large Hall for public meetings and dinners, private and public billiard rooms, also warm and cold salt water baths. At the end of the establishment in Caer-street, on the site of the Aberdare Inn (which it is proposed also to pur- chase), will be built Wine and Spirit Stores, with a long range of buildings, to be let at cheap rates, as sleeping apartments, of which at present the town is in urgent need. While the erection of the new Hotel is in progress, the business at the Castle Hotel will not be interfered with. The Directors, having considered the financial part of the undertaking, believe themselves justified in calcu- lating that the money invested will give a large per centage of profit. No promotion money will be paid, or any other expenses not fairly applying to the carrying out of the undertaking, and the Shares being fully paid up, no further liability will remain. Prospectuses and Forms of Application may be obtained from the Bankers, solicitors, Brokers, and Secretary, and at the Offices of the Company. The Articleal of the Association can be inspected at tiie Offices of the Company's Solicitors. [281 BALL COURT INN, MERTHYR THE Public are informed that the Ball Court, which has just been much improved, will be Opened for the Season on Easter Monday next, when a Match will come off between some of the best players in the District.
