BUILDERS V. ARCHITECTS.

To tr/e Editor,

Siu,—ln your paper last wkck there was a letter from oho of the Anckland builders, in which the Writer stated that an architect had only to invest a few pounds in oihee furniture and instruments, engage a good draughtsman at the wages of a lab-uter, and go on and prosper. This statement, which contains a deal of truth, has im pelled me to say a 'word on behalf of the architectural draughtsmen o£ Aucklaud, for they are required t> do much writing in the way of memoranda, agreements, optci fications, etc; th*y must be good arithme ticians, for they have to take out quantities, make estimates, check figure;l, take measurements etc,; ihey must lnvc , a thorough knowledge of the building trade in all its branches, for they aro often sent to inspect buifdiiga and direct the work- ■ men, and must therefore be able to tell at! a glance*]'! all is going on right, or to defeat any BCamping of woik ; they roust he* able lotake levels; nnderctand all the custo mary usages and phraseology of the various trades; acd, noally, t they mult Be g*odi draughtslnen, possessing not only practical; knowledge, but also silistic icsight; gctoil penmen for printing and figurine ; bo well grounded iv, perspective $ and hare a thorough knowledge of constructire detail. And would yon before it, Mr Kdi'.or, for till this they get, on the average, the . nificent remuneration of seven shilling*' £er day, a few get a shilling or two more, tend ow, only one, absalutely attsios to the level of a carpeoter's wages'of-three pounds a \veek. When things aro brisk they woik hard on these wages ; and whtn things get sack they are told to knock off for a time, at a day's notice ; consequently the architects run no risk whatever by those who ao all their work for them. 1; lenciw of ono case where a draughtsman waa induced to leave a good business as a ■builder and carpenter to enter into an architect's office, where he remained for eight years, and at the first slack time was turned adrift at a few days' notice/with expressions of regret that circumstances compelled the parting. I can hardly bolievo it, as the draughtsman I refer to was zenlous, energetic, and thoroughly op to etcry branch of the profession, but I am assured it )s so on unimpeachable authority ; and I would ask what mercy can the builders expect from the architects if they voluntarily place themselves in their power by subscribing to the one-sided conditions in vogue hither to, when those architects are so hard and merciless to their poor draughtsmen; by whom Eoma of them make their comfortable livings at the Smallest possible expenditure of time, brains, or "capital, on their part.— I am, &c,j ANOTHER BUILDEK,

This fact, which is ep 1 siKnifleant to breeders and d6alei» in cattle, has of lato years induced a constant and active demand for pure-bred stock in. England, Araerioa, and tho Australian Colonieiß. In viow oJ tbia demand tor purd-brod cattle, and the laree and increasing area of land which is ! annually taken up for grazing purposes all over / New Zealand, and the vast quantity of cattlo ■ required to stock the samo, tho Directors see at onco a ready market at good prices for their stock, and they belioTO tho Company will bo i able to pay early and continuous dividends from their ordinary operations in tho sale of stock, I without relying upon any profit from tho in creased valuo o? landed property, which is hore -3 Tho Directors confidently anticipate that the Frozen Meat Trade cannot, fail to open a practi cally unlimited markot for New Zealand beef and mutton, and will givo to utook-grazlnit Interests- in Now Zealand an Impetus which mus'. ultimately tend to tho great advantage ot this Company.

The celebrated Shorthorn Bull "Duke of Newcastle" the pro- , perty of the Auckland Agricultural Company, was awarded First and Champion Pnzo at tho \ 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 tho herds proposed to be purchased. ' The' Herefords are deserving of special mention. Five hundred and forty-flve in number, they form tho largest herd of puro Herefords in the world-thoir progeny have always met a ready and remunerative sole. The land proposed to be purchased by the Company for carrying on their operations con sists of well-selected and suitable stations, wh&e thebreeding of puro cattle has for many years past been successfully conduced. These properties have also been selected with a view totheir future increase m valuo, and from tins source alone the Directors anticipate tho Com pany will derive considerable profit. Ti-lpvon hundred and forty acres of tho land acquired are so near to tho City of Auckland as fn entitlo them" now to be classed as Suburban Lan* and they must speedily advance in valuo withthe rapid development of tho city.
