SPORTING.

(P£U MESS AGENOV.) Auckland, Saturday.

“ Nimrod” in his sporting notes to the Star says : At last there is a probability of Auckland have a stud company. Several gentlemen having taken the -matter up lately, and are going into the matter properly. The capital is to be £IO,OOO, in a thousand shares of £lO each. In a few days the prospectus will be issued, and then I expect to see a rush for the shares, as with proper management it ought to pay at least twenty per cent, per annum. The Pakuranga Hunt Club commence their season next Saturday. CuniSTCnoucit, Saturday.
