MESSRS JACKSON AND RUSSELL. SECRETARY (mo tern). ' JOSEPH BENNETT, Esq. Tho objoote of tho Now Zoaland Pedigree Stock Company (limited) are the brooding and rearing of Pure Cattlo, Clydoselalo Horses and Sheep, and disposing of samo by sale or other wise In Now Zealand, tho Australian Colonies, San Francisco, and olsewhore. In order to carry out theso objects it is pro posed :— 1. To purohnso from tho Auokland Agri cultural Company (Limited) tho following Proper ties now used by thorn for Btock-broeding pur poses, viz., (a) Cranston, Waikato, 5.863 aores, (b) Tauiaki, No. 1 Farm, Tho Ohaec, aud Butly Manor, 752 acres, ---(o) Tamaki, GroenhUl, 140 acres, • together with tlioii-colobratcd Puro-bred Short horn and Hereford Herd, Clydesdale Horses, Lincoln and Loicoster Sheep. 2. To piueliose from Mossrs T. and S. Morrin their Stud Farm at Meadowbank, Remuera, consisting of SlS'acres 2 roods 5 porches, and the Leasehold Estate of 94 aero adjoining, to gether with their valuable Pedlgreo Shorthern Herd. To farmers and dealers in cattlo it is well known that Puro-bred Stock are more easily fattened, come to maturity earlier, produce better hoof, nnd realiso higher prices than tbe ordinary class of stook. This fact, which i» so significant to breeders and dealers in cattle, has of Into years induced a constant and active demand for pure-bred stook in England, America, nnd tho Australian Colonies. In view of this demand for puro-bred cattle, and the largo and increasing area of land whioh is annually taken up for grazing nurposos all over New Zealand, and tho vast quantity of cattle required to stock the same, the Directors see at onco a ready market at good prioes for their stook, and they believes tho Company will bo able to pay early and continuous dividends from thoir ordinary operations in the salo of stook, Without relying upon nny profit from tho in creased valuo of landed property, whioh is here after referred to. Tho Directors confidently anticipate that the 'Frozen Meat Trade cannot fail to opon a practi cally unlimited market, for New Zoaland beof and mutton, and will give to stook .razing interests in Now Zealand an impetus which musr. ultimately tend to tho great advantago of this Company. Tho whole of tbo Pedigree Herds beforo mentioned, tho Clydesdale Horses and Sheep are well-known, and consist of iirst-olnss im ported stock (judiciously selected by the bost fudges, without regard to cost) and their progony. Wherever exhibited they havo ro ceiveel the highest prizes. Tho celebrated Shorthorn Bull " Duke of Newcastle," tho pro perty of the Auckland Agricultural Company, was awarded First and Champion Prize at the Intercolonial Exhibition at Sydney for tho best bull of any breed, for which the whole of the Australasian Colonies competed with imported antTColOiiial bulls. This'bull and many o£ his progeny aro am_njr tho herds proposed to bo purchased. -Bo Herefords aro deserving oi. special mention. Five hundred and forty-firo in number, thoy form the largest herd of pure Herefords In the world—their progeny have always mot a ready and remunerative Bole. The land proposed to bo purchased by the Company for carrying on their operations con sists of woll-solocted and suitable stations, where tho breeding of puro cattlo has for many years past been successfully conducted. These properties have also been selected with a view to their future increase in value, and from this sourco alone tho Directors anticipate tho Com pany will derive considerable profit. Eleven hundred and forty aores of the land acquirod aro so near to the City of Auckland as to ontitlo them now to be classed as Suburban Lands, and they must speedily advanoo in value with tho rapid development of the olty. Tho value of tho Freehold, Leasehold, and Stock has boon fixed by Messrs Alfred Buck land and Wm. Aitken at the sum of £161,35. 4s 6d. Tho Directors, after tho valuation was fixed, induced tho vendors to make the important concession o£ leaving one-half o£ the purchase money secured upon tho property at five poi cent. Being thoroughly satisfied with the pro'pects of the undertaking, the vendors have roserved to themselves nearly one-half of the shares in the Company upon equal terms wi the shares now offered to tho public. Further particulars on application to the Solicitors of the Company, or to JOSEPH BENNETT, Hon. Sec, 16, Queen-street. -vT OTICE OF REMOVAL MR T.
