SECRETARY (rito TEM). JOSEPH BENNETT, Esq. The objects of tho New Zealand Pedigree I Stook Company (Limited) are the breeding and t rearing of Puro Cattle, Clydesdale Horses anc .• Sheep, and disposing of Bame by sale or other wise in New Zealand, the Australian Colonies; San Francisco, and elsewhere. Iv ordorto cow-y out these objects it is pro , posed :— 1. To purchase from ttio Auckhuitl Agrl '. cultural Compnny(Limited)tho following Proper ' ties now used by them for stock-breeding pur ' puses, viz., ' (a) Cranston, Waikato, 8,863 acres, (b) Tamaki. No. 1 Farm, The Chase, and Butly Manor, 752 aores, , (o) Tamaki, Grecnhlll, 110 acres, ' together with t.elrcolebrated Pure-bred Short horn and Hereford Herd, Clydesdale Horses, Lincoln and Leicester Sheep. -' 2. To purchase from Messrs T. and S. Morrin t their Stud Farm at Mcodowbank, Romuera, • I consisting of 210 aeros 2 roods 5 porches, and ' tho Leasehold Estate ot 91 acre adjoining, to . gether with their valuable Pedigree Shorthorn ' Herd. ! ' To farmers and dealers in cattlo it is well ' known Unit Puro-bred Stock arc moro easily i fattonod, eomo to maturity earlier, produce bettor beef, and realise higher prices than the ordinary class of stock. This fact, which is so 1 significant to breeders and dealers in cattlo, has of late years induced a constant and active demand for pure-bred stock in England, America, and tho Australian Colonies. Jn view of this demand for pure-bred cattle, and the large and increasing area of land which is ■ annually taken up for grazing purposes all over New Zealand, and tho vast quantity of cattlo required to stock the same, the Directors see at onco a ready market at good prices for their - stock, and thoy believo iho Company will bo able to pay early and continuous dividends from • their ordinary operations in tho salo of stock, . without relying upon any profit from the in ' creaseel value o£ landed property, which is here of ter referred to. The Directors confidently anticipate that the Frozen Meat Trade cannot fail to open a practi cally unlimited market for New Zealand beef aud mutton, and will givo to stock-grazing interests in New Zealand an impetus which must ultimately tend to the great advantage of this Company.-. The wholo of the Pedigree Herds before mentioned, the Clydesdale Horses and Sheep are well-known, and consist of first-class im ported stock (jueliciously selected by tho best judges, without regard to cost) and their progeny. Wherever exhibited they have re ceived the highest prize 3. Tho celebrated Shorthorn Bull " Duke of Newcastle," the pro perty of the Auckland Agricultural Company, was awarded First and Champion Prizo at the Intercolonial Exhibition at Sydney for the best ' bull of any breed, for which tho wholo of tho 1 Australasian Colonies competed with imported and Colonial'bulls. This bull and many of his progeny are among tho herds proposed to be 1 purchaeod. Tho Horofords are deserving of special mention. Five hundred and forty-flvo in number, they form tho largost hord of puro Herefords iv tho world—their progeny havo always met a ready and remunerative salo. Tho land proposed to bo purchased by the Company for carrying on their operations con sists of woll-sclccted. and suitable stations, where the brooding of pure cattlo has for many years past been successfully conducted, The6o properties havo also been solected with a view to tiieir future increase in value, and from this source alono tho Directors anticipate tho Com pany will derive considerable profit. ' Elßven hundred and forty acres of tho land acquired aro so near to tho City of Auckland as to entitle them now to be classed as Suburban Lands, and they must speedily advance in valuo with tho rapid development of tho city. The valuo of the Freehold, Leasehold, and Stock has been fixed by Messrs Alfred Buck land and Wm. Aitkcn at tho sum of £161,358 ; IsOd. i - Tho Directors, after the valuation was fixod, i induced tbe vendors to make tho important concession of leaving one-half of the purchase I money secured upon the property nt five por ' cent. Being thoroughly satisfied with tho I pro«pccts of the undertaking, tho vendors have reserved to themselves nearly one-half of the I shares in tho Company upon equal terms with • the shares now offered to tho publio.
