NORTHERN BOOT AND SHOE COMPANY.

Yesterday afternoon, the first annual meeting of the Northern Boot and Shoe Manufacturing Company (Limited) was held, Mr Graves Aickin occupying the chair in the unavoidable absence of Mr C. J. Stone, Chairman of Directors. The report and balance-sheet were submitted to the meeting by Mr TUomaj' Hodgson, secretary, as follows :—

First report, from October 17, 1881, to October 31, 1882.—The directors have pleasure In presenting their first annual report and ba'ance-shcet. Although the balance of profit amount, £496 10s BJ, will not permit placing a large amouut to a reserve fund, your directors hare to inform you the business is in a very promising con dition, and they recommend the payment of a dividend at the rate of 10 percent, made up to the 17th of October, leaving a balance of £174 10a 8d to be earned forward to the current year. The operations have been seriously inconvenienced for want of light, consequent on the large addition to the "Herald" offico premises in_ close proximity to our making and finishing departments, and the output on that ac count has not been up to the standard. Your d'recto'B having this in view, took the earliest opportunity of purchasing a large and uselul site, having two frontages, situate in Hobsou and Customhouse-streets. A three-storied brick buildjog, specially designed for the trade ,ia now in the builder's bonds, and will be completed early in the new year. arrjngements have been made for additional machinery and. other facilities of the most improved kind, with a view of executing orders iv the very beat style and despatch, an 4 the directors have every reason to believe this company will continue a regular dividend-paying enterprise. 'I he num ber of unallotted shares at date is 8,000, and your directors have decided to offer the same at 2s 6d per share premium. Messrs C. J. Stone aud A. Lay bourn retire from the directorate, but' the latter gentle man does not offer himself for re-election owing to pressure of his own business arrangements. Mr C. J. Stone ia eligible, and offers himself for re election. Mr W a. Wilson offers himself as a candidate, having given the requisite notic.3, Tne auditor, Mr John Milne, aUo retire*, but is eligible, and oilers himself for re-election. The dividend will be payable on applica tion at the company's office, 17, Wynd ham-street. -For the directors, C. J. Sionk, Chairman. Balancbshset Esnitfo October3l, 1882.

Mr Aickin moved that the report and balance-sheet bo adopted, and ia doing so referred to the difficulties incidental to the first year's operations of the company. These had been successfully overcome, and the industry thus taken up with vigour they intended to prosecute with energy and enterprise. They had secured new pre mises, which were convenient to the shipping, and where they wero likely to have good light, which was a matter of some importance. With regard to 6killed labour, especially for women's work, the directors had been looking ahead, and in order to be able to compete with old-establisbeJ concerns in the fc'outh, they had aens for skilUd hands from tha Home country, and .should they succeed in their design they would bo in a position to turn out really first-class work. Tho balance-sheet now before the meeting «-as a very satisfactory one, and it fairly represented the financial position of the company. The future ef their enterprise seemed to ba assured, and shareholders might look forward with confidence to re ceiving handsome rtturns for their invest' meiit'. The motion was teconded by Mr B. Tonks and carried unanimously.

Mr E. Carr then moved "That the whole of the directors retiie." Secoid<d by Mr Heron, and carried.—Mr Tonks rooted "1 hat the whole of the retiriug directors oe re-elected, with the exception oi Mr Laybours, who had previously retired, and that, Mr William Scott Wilson be elected to a seat on the directorate, in place of Mr Laybourn."— Seconded by Mr Jesßop, aid carried. -

Mr E. Carr proposed, and Mr Heron seconded, the re-election of Mr John Milne as auditor. —Carried.

On the motion of Mr Fleming, seconded by Mr Milne, a vote of thanks was passed to the directors.—On tba motion of Mr Gittcw, seconded by Mr Carr, a vote of thanks was passed to the manager (Mr Austin), the secretary (Mr Hodgson), and to the employed. — Messrs Austin and Hodgson _ briefly replied, and a vote of thanks to the chairman terminated the pro ceeding.'.

TRANSIT OF VENUS.

[BY TELEGRAPH.—OWN CORRESPOND EBT,]

Archdeacon Stoclc on the Diffi. ctilties of observation.

WELLINGTON, tbu day. Whiting to the " Evening Post" on the transit of Venus, Archdeacon Stock sayg . —" The differing values given in 1874 ehi.W how great is the difficulty of making observations of a transit. The sun ia flo bright that Venus appears to the eye smaller than it is, tiud the sun larger, ao that wheu Veous approaches the sun's edge,! (here is seen by some a change of abape in Venus called the' peg top shape, or the black drop,' and even if there was nothiog of this trouble, as Venus crosses the snji's ' erlg* ao slowly, taking 20raiDS 233£cs, fot '" the whole ot the planet to clear, it would b« very difficult to gain the exact instant of the first, touch on approaching and the last touch on leaving the sun's disc. Mr ■ Uill, the Astronomer Royal at the Cape •'.■ soya the distance is known nearly, and the difficulty of measuring accurately the angle, which is at present doubtful, ig' equiva'ent to that ot measuring the edge ot a florin at a mile's distance, Astrono- • mer« are now disposed to reckon chiefly on ~ observations of one of the asteroids between " Mars and Jupiter,andon the velocity of light, - Buth these plans will give a more certain ■■■;■■ result tban anything that can be gained at the present transit." The Wellington Observatory, '. The survey observatory on tbe Mount " CooU Baserve, Wellington, has been speci: ally erected for this occasion. It is a plain wooden building externally, but internally V ' ' is very complete and elaborately fitted ap r : It is built on a solid stone pier, the founda tion being 6 feet deep in the earth, co that no passing tremor can be communicated to>. the delicate instrument* wnich rest ■ on it. These comprise:- (1) Transit* ' instrument with three inch aperture; with micromotic fittings and automatic; apparatus for the reversal of the telescopic axis; makers Troughton and 'Simmi,--': : London. (2) Two sidereal standard clocks, ■; | by Dent, London. (3) Chronograph, designed by Mr Ellery, Government istro nomer, Melbourne,' connected electrically with one of the clocks, also with an anna..••■ ture immediately under the observer.'* haud, thus enabling an automatic record to be - made, not only of the clock bea'a, but; also' j of the transit ot stars across the wires; (4) Zenith telescope for the determination of ■ latitude, this being the first instrument of the kind yet introduced into New Zealand. It is an American invention, by means of whteb. can be secured a degree of accuracy ' otherwise unobtainable. Mr McKsrrow himself observes with the fine sin. equa torial by Grubb, of flublin, recently m. ported by Mr J. King, who has kindly lent it. CoL TupmaD, who examined this tele- , ,; scope, pronounces it to be an instrument of' the first class of merit. Mr King himself uses Dt Hector's telescope. Dr Hector, who ha? sought tbe sunny skies of the ' interior of Otago as his sphere" of opera- , v tions, uses a fine 6in. telescope by Cook, of Nsw Yoik, and lately imported by ... Mr G. V. Shannon, of this city, and oourteouily lent by him. ■■. ."'_..! : :;
