The Chairman: This was written on June 12. Of course there has been a considerable alteration in matters pointed out here. Mr W. J. Guthrie said he did not think that it would be well to read the statement, but, unfortunately, Mr Blyth was not present, or he would have had to modify the statement considerably. Mr Melville ; Will you kindly read that stattment ? The Chairman ; 1 would like to ask Mr Stephens (the company’s solicitor) to read it first. It is a private report to the dirscrors. Mr White; Excuse mo, it is not a private report at all. It is a report to the chairman of the directors of the company. Mr Stephens said that he did not think that a report brought before the meeting at the last moment should bo read until the directors had had an opportunity of considering it. A shareholder stated emphatically that the meeting was called to consider the annual report and balance sheet, and quernd “ Where is the balance-sheet? ” The Chairman read a draft balancesheet. Mr Melville ; Why is it not signed by the auditor ? Mr Neill: I think the auditor should come here and say why. The Chairman said that he could not recollect receiving tho report. It must have been sent to the company. Mr White : Is not Mr Neill’s answer attached to it ? Mr Neill (hotly): I fail to see what Mr White has to do with it. I consider it a piece of impertinence for Mr White to come here. (To Mr White :) You are not a shareholder. The Chairman; I have no objection to Mr White being present. Mr Guthrie moved - “ That this meeting adjourn until August 7th for the purpose of receiving the balance-sheet and the auditor’s report thereon/’ Mr Melville seconded the motion. A shareholder expressed the opinion that the company were in too weak a state to go on, and thought that shareholders ought to have an opportunity of seeing into the affairs of the company. — (Hi ar, hear). The motion was lost, and a discussion thi n took place as to whether the auditor’s report should be read or not. Acting on the advice of the company’s solicitor, the chairman held that it was inadvisable to read the report. Eventually it was unanimously agreed to adjourn for a week.

The morning of life is the time of abundance, profusion, strength, vigor, growth. When the sun begins to sink, when the midday of life is past, then the hair begins to fade and the silvery gray tells of approaching age. Sunrise or sunset ? Which shall your mirror say? If the former, then it is rich and dark hair, long and heavy hair; if the latter, it is short and falling hair, thin and gray hair. The choice is yours,—for always restores color to gray hair, stops falling of the hair, and makes the hair grow long and heavy. • This is something you have been looking for, isn’t it ? And it is something you can have confluence in, for it is no experiment; people have been using it for half a century. We do not slaim it will do everything, but we do claim it is tho best hair preparation ever made. Prepared fcy Sr.C. Ayer Cc., Lowell, Maas.. U. S A. NEW ZEALAND ACCIDENT IN SUKANCE COMPANY.
