It was;; formed for the purpose of investing on the various events that take place on the Flemington Course. Gentlemen, artisans, and others resident, both in Vic toria and the adjoining colonies, are invited to become shareholders. Many persons who, from various reasons are unable to attend and invest for themselves, would much like to have the opportunity to safely invest a few pounds; for this reason the above Company was first inaugurated, the promoters of which, while thanking the public for their support up to the present, invite thetri to invest in this consultation, when they are sure that their (the promoters’) efforts will be duly appreciated. The Shares are £1 each, but should a would-be shareholder care to invest a smaller sum, he can do so by obtaining a half-share for 10s. Persons taking up 15 full shares will be accorded the privilege of attending, or appointing a deputy to attend, at the drawing. The final distribution of the funds will take place the day following the meeting. Results slips will be posted to shareholders and published in this paper. Early application for shares is necessary. Application for shares must be made to the Manager of the Melbourne Investment Company, Jas. Jacobsen, G.P.0., Melbourne, Victoria, enclosing amount in notes, cheques, bank drafts or P.O. orders (made payable to Jas. Jacobsen), including Redirected envelope and two twopenny stamps (of any colony) for registration. The particular notice of the public is directed to the fact; that only 2£ per centum is deducted for working expenses, commission, etc., the whole of the £IO,OOO, less this amount, going to subscribers. All scrip will be allotted as application is made, and will be forwarded per return mail. JAMES H. JACOBSEN, • Manager.
