Mitchelson, Esq , M.H.R. James Walmsley, Esq. Bankers: The Bank of Now Zealand. Solicitors : Messrs Jackson and RusseU Acting Secretary : Mr Robt. Rose. Tho objects of tho New Zealand Stud and Pcdlgrco Stock Company (Limited) aro tho breeding and rearing of puro Cattle, Clydos dalo Horses and Shi op, and disposing of same by salo or otherwiso in New Zealand, .the Australian Colonies, San Franoiscjjj and elso whero. In order to carry out theso objeots the Company has purchased from tho Auckland Agricultural Company (Limited), tho following Properties now used by thorn for stock-breeding purposes, viz,, (a) Cranston, Waikato, 8863 acres. (b) Tamaki, No, 1 Farm, Tho Chase, and Btttley Manor, 752 acros, togother with their celebrated Pure-bred Short horn and Horoford Herd, Clydesdale Horsos, Lincoln and Leicester Sheep. 2. And from Messrs T. and S. Morrin their Stud Farm at Moadowbank. Remuera, consist ing of 219 aores, 2 roods, 5 porchos, and tho Lcasohold Estate of 01 aoros adjoining, togothor with thoir valuablo Pedigroo Shorthorn Herd. 3. And from tho Auckland Stud Company (Limited) their Stud Farm, known as Sylvia Park, containing 322 acres, together with thoir stook of Thoroughbred and Clydesdale Horses. 4. And from Messrs. E. and R. Maclean their Farm, known as Croonhill, at tho Tamaki, con taining 110 acres. - To farmors and dealers in cattlo it is well known that Pure-bred stook are more easily fattoned, como to maturity earlier, produce better beef, and rooliso higher prices than tho ordinary clasß of stock. This fact, whioh is so Bignifloant to breeders and dealers m cattle, has of lato years induced a constant and active de mand for puro-bred stook in England, America, and tho Australasian Colonies. In view of this domandforpuro-brcd cattle, and tholarge and in creasing area of land which is annually takon up for grazing purposes all over Now Zealand, and tho vast quantity ot cattlo required to stock the sttino, tho Diroctors see at onco a ready morkct at good pricos for their stock, and they beliovo tho Company will be üble to pay early and con tinuous dividends from their ordinary opera tions in tho salo of stock, without relying upon any profit from the increased value of landed property, which is heroaftor reforrcd to. Tlio Directors oonfidently anticipate that the Frozen Meat Trade cannot fall to open a prac tically unlimited markot for New Zealand beef and mutton, and will give to stock-grazing intorests in Now Zealand an impetus which must ultimately tend to tho groat advantago of this Company. Tho wholo of the Pedigroo Herds before men tioned, the Clydcsdalo Horses and Sheep aro woll-known; and consist of first-class imported stock (judiciously selected by tho best judges, without regard to cost), and their progeny. Wherever exhibited thoy have received tho highost prizes. Tho colebratod Shorthorn Bull " Duko of Nowcastlo," tho property of the Auck land Agricultural Company, was awarded First and Champion Prize at tlio Intercolonial Exhibition at Sydnoy for tho host bull of any breod for which tho wholo of tho Australasian Colonies compoted with imported and Colonial bulls. This bull and many of his progeny aro among the herds proposed to bo.purohasod. Tho H'erefords are deserving of special mention. Five hundred and forty-five in number, thoy form the largest herd of puro Herefords in tho world—their progeny havo always mot a ready and romunerativo sale. Tho Thoroughbred Horses of the Auckland Stud Company (now forming part of this com pany's property) aro well known throughput the colonies and in Great Britain. No such stud exists in tho Australasian colonies. Hitherto tho Stud Company's operations have beenihighly successful and profitable. Under more favour able circumstances, and with more extended operations, oven groater and bettor results moy reasonably be anticipated. Tho land purchased by the Company for carry ing on their operations consists of well-selected Sa suitable stations, whero tho breeding of nuro cattle has for many years post beon sne Suy conducted. .These properties have Steo been selected with a view to their future increase in value, and from this source alono tho Directors anticipate the Company tvill do rive considerable profit. Eleven hundred and forty acres of the land acauired are so near to the City of Auokland as to entitle them now to bo classed as Suburban Lands, and tbey must speedily advancoin value with tho rapid development of tho city. Tho value of the Freehold, Leasehold, and Stock has been fixed by Messrs Alfred Buckland and Wm. Aitken, at the Bum of £223,153 Is ed Tho Directors, after the valuation was fixed, induced the Vendors to ruako the important concession of leaving one half of the purchase monoy Becurod upon the property at five per cent. Being thoroughly satisfied with the ob jects of tho undertaking, the Vondprs have re served to themselves nearly one half of tho Bhares in the Company upon equal terms with the shares now offered to the public. Forma of Application for Shares and farther particulars may be had on reference to tho Solicitors of tho Company, or to. ROBERT ROSE, Aoting Secretary, Shortland-BtreeWAuckland.

It will be seen that the net profit available fon distribation, including £6,20112s Gd brought for ward from 31st January, 1882, after paying tha interim dividend (£3,908133 3d) for the halfyoar ending 31st July, 1882, is .. ..£11,707 110 Whioh the Directors recommend should ba appropriated no fol lows:— To payment of dividend at the rate • - of 10 per cent, per annum on paid-up capital to 31st January, 1883 ">om * j *«■ To first instalment to Staff Fund '.'.

Tho following Directors: Messrs William Langlands and Henry Houghton, retire from office in terms of the Articles of Association, but ate eligible for re-election, and offer them selves accordingly. Since tho last Annual Meeting, the Director* have, as then intimated, erected Chemical Works and Bone Mills adjoining the Sulphuric Acid Manufactory, and aro now making Artifl cal Manures of the highest standard of quality, '-. and for whioh, since operations commenced, there is a steadily increasing demand. The erection of these works has entailednpon the Company a very large expenditure durinpj the past year, without giving an adeqnate re turn of profit, tho Works having been in opera tion for the last four months of tho year only. The Directors have eveiy reason; however, to anticipate good returns during the present year from this branch of the business. . Tho opening of this industry enables the Com pany to utilise many hitherto waste products, moro particularly bones, which they are now prepared to buy to the full extent of the Colony's production, . -.• ;'■' . .
