NEW ZEAL PEDIGREE STOCK COMPANY.

Whbn the Auckland Stud. Company launched out la the breeding of horses on a. scale that attracted the attention of all the colonies, people began to /eel that there was more ent«prife among those who take an interest in the agricultural industry than was ever before credited. The subsequent purchase by the Com pany of some, of ihe best stock in the colony has confirmed the belief that Aicldand will yet attain the pre eminence in New Zealand for breeding. Another ventute of kindred character, but on even o larger scale, has now been placed before the publio in tho prospectus of the New Zealand Pedigree Stud Company, under which title the well-known herds of pure-bred cattle owned by the Auckland Agricultural Company (Maclean and Co) and T. andS. Morrm will be formed into one concern, lhe valuable stock now depastured will be added to by the introduction of the best strains England can produce, and It is confidently believed that, with the advantages of climate on tne side of Auckland, this Proflnce may jet become the leading nreeding-place m Aus tralasia. The estates taken: over include Cranston, near Cambridge, 8,863 acres of land ia a high state of cultivation and fenced, which has been put in at a low valuation, estates at Tamaki amounting to about 900 acres', and 249 acres free hold and 94 leasehold at Remuera, The valuation made by Messrs A.. Buekland and .W. Aitken places the entire properties in land and stock at £161,358, and the property is handed, over at that valuation to the Company. The vendors have to much confidence in the venture that they have taken up halt of theshares. The capital will consist of 40,000 £5 shares, £2 of which will becalhdup. The provisional dirocwry includes the names of gentlemen' largely interested in agriculture and commerce in Auckland. The new company is doubtless due to the active i brain and restless energy of Mr Thornis Kussell, whose visit to Auckland is beiag signalised by a new. infusion.of cemmercUf life into tho city, , ;
