ABRIDGED PROSPECTUS. THE

THE Company has been formed for the purpesa of constructing equipping. and working a series of Low Lorel Steam Tramways in the City of Victoria, Hong.

Two Special Ordinances (No and 18 of 1883) have been passed by the Legislative Council and the Government anthorizing the construction and working of the name.

Victoria is very favourably adapted for! Tramways, owing to its contignation, the cay gradients of its principal street, (the main theringhiare from the East to the West onda, along which the Temways will be laid), and the irametse incessant trame.

tho The Tennways will be constructed in heat and most substantial mamer, and with all the latest improvements, with stool! girdor rails, bedded in concrete, but no wood or other perishable mutorial will be

ed.

The Tramways are intended to be worked by Sun Traction, such boing much more ocenomical, trustworthy, and under more effects control, having more power of. overcoming gradients, and giving better sults (pocuniary and otherwise) than horse, TUCH's PATENT FACKING,ressed air, eloctricity other mutive
