Gentlemen—l request you will allot me shares in the above Bank, and I hereby agree to accept that or any less number which may be allotted to me upon the terms mentioned in the published prospectus. . ; Name of applicant: Profession or business: Besidence: Number of Shares: Signature: ■•■•-, Dated the day of 1861. 876 ■''.-■ ...... ' ". New Zealand Stud Book. TT is proposed to compile, with a: view to -1- publication, a New Zealand Stud Book, which shall contain, as far as can be ascertained, the name and pedigree of every, thorough-bred, horse imported into, or bred in the colony. The great and increasing interest shown in all the . provinces in the breeding of thorough-bred horse stock, renders a work of the above character highly desirable', as, without it, in a few years the pedigrees of many valuable animals will be altogether lost, so .that it will he impossible at any future time to certify, to the blood of their descendants. From the circumstance that, until quite recently, .no Stud Book was ever p'ubblished in JSew South Wales; to which colony New Zealand is so largely indebted for its horse stock, it has already become difficult to trace the pedigrees of many of our supposed thorough-bred horses to the English Stud Book, the only recognised authority of a horse's purity of breed; . Much^ however, may be done by research-and inquiry to clear up: doubtful pedigrees if the task is at once undertaken, but the longer the work is deferred the greater will be the difficulty of ultimate success. ■".'. As soon as the • compilation of the New Zealand Stud Book is complete, the work will be published, if a sufficient number of subscribers for it can be obtained to guarantee the expense of printing, and it is proposed to publish, in successive years,' loose sheets in continuation of the work until there shall be sufficient materials to justify the publication of a second volume, which will then be issued, and the further continuation of the New Zealand Stud Book jvill then become an easy task. . Breeders and owners, resident in New Zealand, of-thorough-bred or supposed thorough-bred horses, are requested to furnish the undersigned with all the information they possess regarding the breeding of the animals : whose names they wish to see entered in the New Zealand Stud Book, which it is intended shall hereafter become the test of breeding of horses in this colony in the same manner in which.the, Stud.Book is regarded in England. "' In order, that the foals of the present season may be included in this contemplated volume, the work' will not be sent to.press until the Ist of March next, up to which date communications will bo received, but in order that the work may in the mean time be prepared, if is hoped that communications will bo sent in as early as possible. The price of the work will be 10s. 6d., which; will entitle subscribers to any loose sheets of pedigrees which may be published previous, to the, issue of a second volume. - o ; . Intending subscribers are requested,;to. forward their names at their earliest convenience, to . ":. C. ELLIOTT,' Secretary of Nelson Turf Club. *** The following is given as a specimen of the information which it is desirable the compiler should be furnished with, where practicable:— ■ Flora M'lvor, a brown mare, imported to Nelson S by Mr* H.
