SECRETARY (peo tern.) JOSEPH BENNETT, Esq. The objects of the New Zealand Pedigree Stock Company (Limited) are the breeding and rearing of Pure Cattle, Qlydesdale Horses and Sheep, and disposing of same by sale or otherwise in New Zealand, the Australian Colonies, San Francisco, and elsewhere. In order to carry Out these objects it is proposed : 1. To purchase from the Auckland Agricultural Company (Limited), the following Properties now used by them for stock-breeding purposes, viz., (a) Cranston, Waikato, 8863 acres, (b) Tamaki, No. 1 Farm, The Chase, and Butley Manor, 752 acres, (c) Tamaki, Greenhill, 140 acres, ' together with their celebrated Pure-bred Shorthorn and Hereford Herd, Clydesdale Horses, Lincoln and Leiester Sheep. 2. To purchase from Messrs T. and S. Morrin their Stud Farm at Meadowbank, Remuera, consisting of 249 acres, 2 roods 5 perches, and the leasehold Estate of 94 acres adjoining, together with their valuable Pedigree Shorthort Herd. To farmers and dealers in cattle it is well known that Pure-bred Stock are more easily fattened, come to maturity earlier, produce better beef, and realise higher prices than the ordinary class of stock. This fact, which, is so significant to breeders and dealers in cattle, has of late years induced a constant and active demand for pure-bred stock in England, America, and the Australian Colonies. In view of this demand for pure-bred cattle, and the large and increasing area of land which, is annually taken up for grazing purposes all over New Zealand, and the vast quantity of cattle required to stock the same, the Directors see at once a ready market at good prices for their stock, and they believo the Company will be able to pay eai-ly and continous dividends from their ordinary operations in the sale of stock, without relying upon any profit from the increased value of landed property, which is hereafter referred to. The Directors confidently anticipate that the Frozen Meat Trade cannot fail to open a practically unlimited market for New Zealand beef and mutton, and. will give to stock-grazing interests in New Zealand an impetus which must ultimately tend to the great advantage of this Company. The whole of the Pedigree Herds before mentioned, the Clydesdale Ho-rses and ' Sheep are well-known : and consist of firsjt-class imported stock (judiciously selected by the best judges, without regard to cost), and their progeny. Wherever exhibited they have received the highest prizes. The celebrated Shorthorn Bull " Duke of Newcastle," the property of the Auckland Agricultural Company, was awarded First and Champion Prize at the Intercolonial. Exhibition at Sydney for the beet bull of any breed for which the whole df the Australasian Colonies competed with imported and Colonial bulls. This bull and many of his progeny are among the herds proposed to be purchased. The Herefords are deserving of special mention. Five hundred and forty-five in number, they form the largest herd of pure Herefords in the world — their progeny have always met a ready and remunerative sale. The land proposed to be purohascd by the Company for carrying on their operations consists of well-seleejted and suitable stations, where the breeding ©f pure cattle hns for many years past been successfully .conducted. These properties have also been seleoted with a view to their future increase in value, and from this source alone the Directors anticipate the Company wijl derive considerable profit, Eleven hundred and forty acres of the land acquired are so near to the City of Auckland as to entitle them now to be classed as suburban Lands, and they must speedily advance in value with the rapid deyelopment •of the c,ity. The valne of the Freehold, Leasehold, and Stock haß been fixed Ijs Messrs Alfred B.uelihuui and Win. Aitken, at the sum. of £161,358 4g 6d. The Directors, aftef the. valuation was fixed, induced the Vendors to make the iinportont concession of leaving one-half of the purchase money secured upon the. property at 5 per cent. Being thoroughly satisfied with fbre prospects of the undertaking, tlje Vendors have reserved to therusjplves nearly one-half of the shares in the Company upon equal terms with thja shares now otfesred to the public * XMrtfaes parttoulara oh application to the bolicit<#3 of tlio oQtnpany>, or to .
