SECRETARY (pko tern), JOSEPH BENNETT, Esq. Tho objoots of tho Now Zealand Pedigree Stock Company (Limited) aro tho bleeding and rearing ot Pure Oattlo, Clydesdale Horses and Sheen, and disposing of eamo by sale or other wise in New Zealand, tho Australian Colonies, San Francisco, and elsewhere. In order to carry oat these objects it is pro posed j— 1, To purchase from the Auckland Agri cultural Company (Limited) tho folio wins Proper ties now used by them for stock-breeding pur poses, via., (a) Cranston, Waikato, 8,863 acres, (b) Tatnaki. No. 1 Farm, Tho Chaie, and Bully Manor, 752 nores, (o) Tamaki, Greonhill, U0 acrcß, together with their colobrated Puro-b»ed Shoik hwn and Hereford Herd, Clydesdale HOisos, Lincoln and Leicester Sheep. 2. To purchase from Messrs T. and S. Morrin their Stud Farm at Moadowbtnk, Romuora, consisting of MO acres 2 roods 5 perihej, and tho Leasehold Estate of 91 acre adjoining, to gether with theto valuable Pedigreo Shorthorn Herd. To fawners and dealers in eattio it is well known that Pure-bred Stock are more easily fattened, eomo to maturity earlier, produoa better beef, and realise higher prices than the ordinary class of stock. This fact, which is so significant to breeders and dealers in oattle, has ot late years induced a constant and active demand for pure-bred stook in England, Amorioa, and the Australian Colonies. In view of this demand for pure-bred oattlo, and the largo and inorooiing area of land whioh is aanually taken up for grazing purposes all over Now Zealand, and tho vast quantity of oattle required to stock the samo, the Directors see at once a ready market at good prices for their stock, and they believe the Company will be able to pay oarly and oonrinuous dividends from their ordinary oporationa in the sole of stook, without relying upon any profit from ths in creased value of landed property, which is here after referred to. The Directors confidently anticipate that the Frozen Meat Trade cannot fail to open a practi cally unlimited market for Now Zealand beef and mutton, and will give to stock-grazing interests in Now Zoaland an impotus which mu3f- ultimately tend to tho groat advantago of this Company. Tho whole of the Pedigreo Herds before mentioned, tho Clydesdalo Horses and Sheop are wen-known, and consist of first-class im ported stock (judiciously selected by the best fudges, without regard to cost) and their progeny. Wherever exhibited they have re ceived tho highest prises. The celebrated Shorthorn Bull " Duke of Newcastle," the pro perty of the Auckland Agricultural Company, was awarded First and Champion Prize at the Intercolonial Exhibition at Sydney for the best bull of any breed, for which the wholo of the Australasian Colonies competed with imported and Colonial bulls. This bull and many of his progeny are among the herds proposed to be purchased. Tho Herofords are deserving of special ms'ntion. Fire hundred and forty-five in number, they form the largest herd of pure Herefords in tho world—their progeny have always met a ready and remunerative sale. The land proposed to ho purchased by the Company for carrying on their operations con stats of -well-selected and suitable stations, whero tho breeding of pure cattle has for many years past been successfully conducted. .Those properties have also been selected with a vi ow to their future increase in value, and from this source alone the Direotora anticipate the Com pany will derive considerable profit. Eleven hundred and forty acres of tho land acquired are bo near to tho City of Auckland ac to entitle thorn now to bo classed as Suburban Lands, and they must speedily ad vancota value with tho rapid development of the dty. The value of the Freehold, Leasehold, and Stook has been fixed by Messrs Alfred Buck land and Wm. Aitken at the sum of JSI6I,SS£ -16 6d. The Directors, aftor tho valuation was fixed, induced the vendors to make tho important concession of leaving one-half of the purchase money secured upon tho property at five pei cent. Being thoroughly satisfied with the prospects of the undertaking, the vendors have reserved to themselves nearly one-half of the shares in tho Company upon equal terms witl the shares now offered to the public.
