DEVONPORT STEAM FERRY COMPANY.

Annual Maotins of Shareholders.

Tin. second annual general meeting of shareholders in tho Dovonport Steam Ferry Company was held last evening, Mr Ewen W. Alison, Chairman of Directors, presid ing. Thero were about thirty gentlemen present. Annual Report. Mr Benjamin Tanner, Secretary, read tho annual report of tho directors, which was us follows: — In presenting the balance sheet for tho year ending lilst December, 188.'!, your directors have much pleasure in congratulating the shareholders on the general progress made by tho Company during the past year. The reduction iv the fares and tiro improved servico organised by tho Company havo been tho means of making Devonporl tho most popular of the suburbs of Auokland ; and it has been the aim of tho directors to keep.tho steamers well up to the mark, and to foster and increase tho business of the Company in every possible way. _ Upon rcferenco to tho balance-sheet it will bo seen that, with the exception of £101! owing for last month's accounts, tho Com pany is quite free from debt; and, after writing £977 5h '2d oil tlie steamers and plant for depreciation, shows a balance in the Company's favour of £801 lis Id, out of which your directors recommend the pay mentof a dividend of 8 percent., whicli will absorb £800, and leave £04 lis Id to bo carried forward to proli tand loss ncwaecoutit. Failing to obtain tire necessary accommo dation .10111 the Auckland Harbour .Board, your directors considered it judicious to erect the handsome aud comfortable suite of waiting-rooms and offices on tlie Victoria Wharf at a cost of C)'2~>, and are assured they will prove of such service to tho Com pany as will fully reimburse tho outlay. It will devolve on the meeting to elect two directors in tlie place of Messrs Alison and Quick, tho former of whom is eligible and oilers himself for re-election. An auditor will also have to bo appointed, and Mr T.. L, White, who retires, oilers himself for re election.

In moving the adoption of tho report and balanco-slieet, the Chairman said tho state ments presented were highly satisfactory, and especially so from the fact that the inclement weather of tho season had reduced tho traffic, and thus lessened the takings. Thoy had been compelled to rely upon tlie district for their business. It was a matter for congratulation that thoy had been able to write oil'so large an amount as £977 5s 2d for depreciation. This sum might seem unusual, but lie explained that when the steamers were taken over from the old Company they were assessed at much higher than their actual value, and this allowance for depreciation had placed them more 011 tho basis of truo value. The district was making remarkable progress, and it might be mentioned that tho rates collectable for ISS3 showed an increase of fully 50 per cent, above those of last year. Ho might also mention that they had been unusually free from accidents during the past year, and this fact reflected credit upon their ser vants.

Mr Stark seconded tho adoption of the report. In reply to Mr Hammond, the Chairman said the steamers wcro not drawn by horses. The item for horso feed was explained by tho action of tho directors in deciding to , deliver freight. Mr Hammond askad what was tho actual profit for the year. The Chairman replied that tho profit was £SG4, in addition to tho £977 5s 2d for de preciation. Mr Hammond considered that thero was not so much cause for congratulation in tlie report. It appeared to him that from the 110,000 invested they had actually made a profit of i'tiTG, and not more. The amount written off for depreciation was really gone. Mr Hammond inquired where the J.SOO for the payment of a dividend came from. Tho Skcketary replied that they had it in hand if not in cash.

Mr Melville questioned tho assertion that thoy had a good service, and pointed out that better arrangements might bo bo mado for traffic. Horses wero only taken at occasional intervals, and should, he thought, be carried when required.

The Chairman said a gentleman from A ustralia had complimented them on having tho best ferry service in the Australian colonies. Ho thought complaints about cargo traffic should bo mado to himself or the traffic manager. There were difficulties in the way of carrying live stock which ho explained, the principal being the tides. Speaking of Mr Hammond's complaints, the Chairman said that gentleman had actually had.his goods removed from Devonport in another steamer than tho Company's when leaving tho district, Mr Hammond retorted that he found out the Company's charges, and went to the cheapest market, Mr Stark considered that the fault in reference to' cargo traffic lay with the Harbour Board, who should provido a land ing stago for horses. Mr Bruit pressed Mr Hammond's ques tion in reference to actual profit, Tho Chairman said the net profit was £G7G. Tho Company would not be out of debt when tho dividend was paid.

In answer to Mr Cameron, the Secretari said that they actually realised on the assets to pay tho dividend.

Mr Hammond asked if tho amount ex pended in waiting rooms on tho wharf was represented in the accounts.

Tho reply was in tho aiirmative,

Mr Hammond nsked if the directors thought they had made a judicious invest ment in paying for these rooms when there was already talk of an opposition company. Mr Stark and the Chairman replied that the rooms wero oxclusively the property of the Company, thero being no limit to the term. The adoption of the report was agreed to. Mr Alison then vacated tlie chair, which was taken by Mr Stark. Election of Directors. Messrs 11. Brett and Alison wero nomin ated to the vacancies on tho directorate and duly olected. ' Mr T. L. White was ro-eloctod auditor. HONARARIUM. Mr M. Niccol iiioyerl that tho sum of £lt)Q bo voted to Mr Stark for hia services as Managing Director. The motion was seconded and duly carried. It was agreed that for the future annual meetings bo held in the second week in Fobruary, in order that the Seorotary might havo more time at his disposal in which to make up the aocounts.

GLYCERINE SHEEP DIP TRIAL.

A number of citizens and two represent atives of the press of Auckland went to Mr Walter Paul's farm, at Mangere, to witness tho glycerine dip of sheep, at the invitation of Mr I lay ward, the junior member of the firm of Messrs Tomlinson and Hayward, manufacturing chemists, of Lincoln, (England). Mr Hayward is on a business tour through tho Australasian colonies for the purpose of introducing the glycerine sheep dip, and he has met extraordinary success in agricultural districts. For somo time past ho has been operating in the Hawke's Bay province, and has con vinced the sheep farmers of Napier and other paces that the glycerine dip is a most officacious and economical remedy for eradicating ticks, lice, parasites, and thoso irritating insects which affect the skins of sheep and cattle. Tho dip process, moreover, has the effect of preventing scab and of purifying tho wool. The party readied Mr Paul, farm at 11.20, and wero met by tlie farmers of surrounding districts, also by Messrs Howard and Knivett, sheep inspectors, Mr Hayward prepared the dip, Mr Paul put tho sheep and lambs through, and Mr T. B. Hill acted as timekeepor. The character of the mixture or glycerine clip is fully described in tho " Descrip tive History of Sheep and thoir Wool," published by tlie firm at Lincoln, and distributed gratuitously to flock masters. Mr Paul purchased last week a number of sheep and lambs, OS of the former and 44 of the latter, and as they were comparatively in a poor and ticky condition, those it was thought would form excellent subjects for tho trial dip, anil everyone present expressed satisfaction at the result. The lambs were examined by several gentlemen, and found to be full of noisome pests, and subsequently it was found that the dip had been fatally oll'ective in removing and destroying all impurities. Tho mixture is entirely free from arsenic and other poisons. The mode of preparing and operating is very simple. One gallon of the dip is mixed witli 40 galls, of warm water, and when cold water is used it should be soft, rain water when obtainable, stirring them woll together while adding the water. In order to a thorough solution, hot water is necessary at tho onset; in fact, warm water is recom mended throughout, as it has a more instan taneous effect; the water should also be as clean as possiblo. The temperature of the mixture was tested by Mr Hayward and Mr Hill when ready for use, and found to be 72 degrees Fahrenheit. A lock of infected wool was experimented upon, and after being in the bath 40 seconds was taken out and exposed to tho sun, It was expected that the warmth of the sun would have a reviving influence on the in* sects, and something like signs of life wero visible through a microscopic glass; but within a moment of time every person was fully satisfied that lice, insects, and tick eggs were all destroyed; and on ex amining the sheep and lamb the pass of death to the vermin had been equally successful. The cost of the dip is reasonable—namely, 4s 2d for a quantity which will effectually cleanse 100 sheep, amounting only to one half-pound per head. Mr Hayward informs us that the dip was first brought out by the firm which he represents in 18G0, and judging from the testimonials from British sheep-owners, and the faot that 70 tons are sent out weekly, the " Glycerine Dip" must bo pronounced a great success, and worthy the attention of flool; -owners, and, indeed, of every person interested in the care of sheep and cattle.

St. Jacob's Oil Invincible

(To tho Editor of Evening Star.)

Dear Sir,—l wish to add my testimony to the ellicacy of the great, German remedy, St. Jacob's Oil. Your columns have contained, from time to time, expressions of gratitude from persons of known respectability, and having satistted my self of the genuineness of the cures effected, I obtained a bottle, scarcely hoping it would suc ceed in relieving me. For the past seven months I have suffered severely from a pain ful attack of sciatica, which, in spite of the must able treatment on the part of my meai cal adviser, continued to hold its own in my system. My sleep at last began to bo affected, and my whole system very much reduced. Tho most careful treatment failed to give me relief, and I then applied nearly overy advertised remedy. The sciatica was principally located in my left thigh, and tho pain at times was most excruciating. In spite of the most thorough applications, and tho great est care and attention on my part, I ob tained no appreciable relief, and at last, as a forlorn hope, I determined to apply St. Jacobs Oil, and from that time tho pain began to diminish. My sleep soon returned, and each application afforded mo relief. At first I re garded tho cessation from pain aa only a temporary one, scarcely daring to hope that the cure was complete; but I havo gratefully to acknowledge that I am now free from pain—in fact, a man again. I must confess that I tried tho Oil in abso lute despair. I had. had no sleep for three or four nights previously, nnd my system was very low. The success, however, is complete, and I again tender my grateful acknowledgments to the proprietors of the Oil, and shall ever continue to recommend it to every sufferer who comes within range of my influence. What medical skill failed to do St. Jacob's Oil effeoted, and I regard it as the greatest boon of the age. I am, dear Sir, Yours faithfully. JonN Lee. Ashbourne, Mudgee, November 12,1883.

THE PAIN ENTIRELY LEFT. " Clarence Cottage, " Thomas-stroet, Balmain, " 21st August, 1883. " Publishers Evening Star, " Dear Sirs,—About a fortnight ago I had a scvore attack of rhuematism in my back, which gave me no ond of pain and trouble. I used St. Jacob's Oil, and In ono or two applications the pain entirely left. Slnco then I have had occa sion to use the Oil on a badly-sprained wrist, and its effect was simply magical. My wife has used it for neuralgia in the head, with equally satisfactory results. I consider St. Jacob's Oil a valuablo preparation.and shallnot only use it in my own house, but shall recom mend my friends to dp so. "Yours truly, "W. P. Booth."
