FOBTUN A has hod an extended Continental experience of the details of these undertakings, and she is convinced that the Prospectus she now offers to the publio will be heartily responded to. This is an investment peculiarly suitable for ladies, who are generally precluded— by household duties— from indulging in the excitement of tiie Racecourse, and are therefore not inclined to invest their money where the success of a horse forms the main element in the amount of the prizes gained. The Shares for eaoh Distribution will be limited to 5000, at Ten Shillings eaoh. Periodical allotments of these Investments will be made every three months, under the supervision •«f a Committee. The sums allotted will be in the proportion of one Allotment to every 25 Coupons, as follows, fiz.s— 1 Allotment of ...£SOO 3 Allotments of ...£25 } » .. .. 150 7 15 1 „ 100 80 „ „ ... 10 S Allotments of ... 50 100 „ „ ... 5 * it ii •■• 30 In addition to the above, there will be an Allotment amongst the unsuccessful shareholders of 100 Coupons for the next distribution.
