Hinds Saleyards Co., Limited.

The first ordinary general meeting of the shareholders of the Hinds Saleyards Company, Limited, was held in the Hinds Schoolroom on Saturday evening last, to receive the report of the provisional directors, to appoint permanent directors, &o. The room was well filled with shareholders. Mr William ChisnalJ, chairman of provisional directors, pre sided. . Tho chairman said that »^ he would have an opportunity of addressing the shareholders later, he would not now detain them. He requested the secretary to read vhe Report of the Provisional Directors of the Hinds Saleyards Company, Limited, to be presented to the first ordinary general meeting of shareholders. Since July 30 last, the date on which a resolution forming the Company was carried in this room, the Provisional Directors, or their Executive Committee, have held eight meetings. Since then 213 shares have been taken up, and 22 persons have promised to take up 64 additional shares, which leaves only 23! shares to be disposed of. The Provisional Directors have paid £19 Os 6d necessary preliminary expenses. The Chairman and Secretary sign cheques on behalf of the Company, authority to do so having been fiven by ihe Executive Committee of the rovisional Directors. Ten acres, distant only a few chains from the Hinds railway station, have been leased from Mr James McKeage,, Lowcliffe, as a site for the saleyards, shearing shed, stables, &c. The lease, drawn by the solicitor to the Company, duly signed by the contract ing parties, and witnessed, lies on the table for inspection, It contains a condition that enables the Company to purchase the land at any time during the currency of the lease at the price of £10 per acre. Th« rent to be paid is seven per cent per annum on the unpaid portion of the conditional purchase money. After duly advertising, contracts have been entered into with Mr James Goss, Christchurch, for supplying timber and gates for the Company. With Mr John Bruce, Ashburton, for erecting the sheep and cattle yards. With Mr Thomas King, Dromore, for erecting the shearing shed and stables. With Mr William Annett, Hinds, for erect ing the boundary and subdivision fences. The erection of the yards is well advanced, and the shearing shed will be ready for shearing towards the end of the present month. The concern would be incomplete without a good sheep dip, the erection of which the present Directors strongly recommend to the shareholders. The question of erecting a refreshment room in connection with the yards has been before the Directors. After due considera tion it has been deemed advisable to spend all the capital available in making the yards, &c, as good and substantial as possible. This course was the easier to follow, as Mr McDowell wrote stating his intention of erecting refreshment rooms, which, now erected in part, are close to the railway station. The specifications for the various works, the account books of the Company ; the correpondence; and the shareholders, register are on the table for the inspection of the shareholders. —William Chisnall, Chairman. John McKeaoue, Secretary. The chairman, in moving the adoption of the report, expressed his great pleasure at seeing such a large number of the shareholders of the Company present, For the past few weeks their attention had been directed more in the direction of getting the shed, yards, &c, erected than in the direction of selling shares. "Set seventy-three persons either had actually become shareholders or had intimated their intention of so doing. The se seventy-three would hold about 280 shares, leaving only twenty shares to dispose of. Were it necessary, they could readily sell shares far beyond the 300 which had been offered for sale. Their shares were held by people scattered over a very large district. They would be able to commence shearing in their new ft hearing shed at or before the end of the present month The Company >asnow floated under very favorable conditions, and h.'© nad great pleasure in moving the adoption of the report. lvlr S*wte thousrht the Company's yards, shearing sfeed, &c, would supply a want felt by those who, residing on the large district which extended from the hills to the beach, had experience of driving sheep for twenty, twenty-five, or thirty miies. He thought a sheep dip was a very necessary work, and that the Company's premises would be incomplete without one. He had great pleasure in seconding the adoption of the report. The report was unanimously adopted. Votes of thanks were passed to the retiring provisional directors, to the chairman, and to the secretary. A resolution was then carried that the number of permanent directors be seven. It was further resolved that the rules in TMbSfi A first schedule of " The Companies Act 1382," be the rules of the Company, and'tiu* the Company's financial year end an June 30 of each ye »r. Nineteen shareholders were then nomi nated for the office of Directors. A ballot was taken, and the Mb wing gentlemen were elected the permanent pirectors of the Company :— Messrs Resteii, Chjsn&ll, Withell," McKeage, Holmes, McLeaiji, and Matson. A resolution was carried that it was necessary to erect a good sheep dip. The geiieral meeting of shareholdars then separated. The first meeting of the permanent Directors was immediately afterwards held, 'when it was resolved that Mr ChisnalJ be the Chairman of Directors, and Mr John MoKeague the Secretary of the Company. A#er transacting further important business th^ meeting adjourned.

The Jubilee Singers.

The Jubilee Singers had a crowded house last night, and an audience even more enthusiastic than that of Saturday night. There was a complete change of programme, which A ras very largely in creased by the repeated encores. Mr O. M. McAdoo aang ''A Hundred Fathoms Deep," a song suited to his profound voice, and the soloists of Saturday were again the soloists of last e»ening, receiv ing the applause they merited and having to respond to frequent recalls. Through out the programme the value was felt of Miss Lucy J. Moten as an accompanist, for either organ or piano. Miss Wormlie, the elocutionist of the company, although on the programme for only one item ; had to give no less thin three before the audience would part with her, so great was the effect upon her hearers of her masterly recitation of " How he saved St. Michael's," and the applause she received was deafening. At the close of the enter tainment Mr Orpheus McAdoo announced that he expected to return soon and give another concert in Ashburton, and welearn from Mr Fletcher McAdoo, the general business manager of the company, that the tour northwards will be very rapid, and the singers may be expected back shortly after the New Year.

Holloway's Pills asd Oixtment. — Health's Defences.—None save the strongest can with impunity pass through the sudden transitions from wet to dry, from cold to muggy weather so prevalent during the autumnal and early winter months. Influ enza, bronchitis, cough, sore throat, or quinsey will attack those most watchful of their health ; but they can readily arrest any of these complaints by rubbing Holloway'a Ointment twice a day upon the skin over the affected parts, and by assisting its corrective action with appropriate doses of his pills. This well-known, safe, and easy mode of treatment efficiently protects the patient both from present and future danger with out weakening or even disturbing the system in the slightest degree.
