BROKERS: Auckland Brokers' Association. This Company U formed for the purpose of purchasing Lhe thoroughbred stallions, brood mare.-, and their progeny, now at Sylvia Park, near Auckland, together with the appurtenances, implements, machinery, chattels and plant thereto belonging. The property proposed to be purchased consists ot;— (1) Thoroughbred Stallions Aordenfoldt, St Leuer, Fusilade and Hntchkiss. (2) Forty-two Thoroughbred Mures, including the following celebrated dams: Mersey (dam of Carbine), Nelly Moore (dam of Lnchiel and Cnrunna), Florenco Macarthy (dam of Tirailleur), Onyx (dam of Nordenfeldt), My Idea (dam of Nelson) Realisation (dam of Maxim) Sylvia (dam of Martini-Henry and Goldsboro'), Steppe (dam nf Rnsslev and She), Pearl Ash (dam of Pearl Shell), Sister Agnes, Lady Mersey), Woodnymph (sistar to Martini Henry), Fornio, Sweet Cicely, Naid, Fusee, Ophelia, Madcap, and others equally valuable. (3) Twenty-tour Colts and Fillies (yearlings), the progeny of the above. (1) Leasehold. — Arrangements have been made by which a lease of 475 acres can b« acquired for a term of years, with a purchasing clause, for £14,000. On this property is situated manager's house, stables and outbuildings. The property is too well-known to require farther description. As a breeding establishment of thoroughbreds, Sylvia Park has buen rendered famous bj the names of Carbine, Martini-Henry, Manton, Maxim, Tirailleur, NiirdenWdt, Thunderbolt, Pearl Shell, Necklet and others, and [.lace beyond dispute that this Stud has achieved a distinction far ahead of all rivals in the Southern Hemisphere. A more beautiful collection of stallions and marcs than those now proposed to purchase could not bo collected without the greatest difficulty. Their possession should enable the Sylvia Park Stud Com pany to maintain "the proud distinction which it has been achieved in the raising of thoroughbreds. The ab.ive list of maras shows that the best running blood and the best merit-pro-ducing dams are still at Sylvia Park. Their names are familiar throughout the world from tho great performances of their offspring. Of the stallions, Xordenfelt (got by Musket out of Onyx, by Angler out of Chrvstoline. by Stoekwell out of Juliet, by Touchstone, and born in ISf. , ) is making for himself a name which promises to surpass that of his illustrious sire, Musket. St. Leger (by Doncaster out of Atlantis, by Thormanby) and Fusilade (by jMusket out of Wai-iti', by Towton) are stallions of great promise, and their stock are eagerly sought for. Hntchkisa-brc.wn horse by Musket, dam (imp.) Petruleuse (dam of Catling), by Oxford. This horse was .selected and especially bred by tho Company as a stallion, and has grown into a magnificent animal.

The yearlings (twenty-foui) in* Miimiing at Sylvia Park are r|uit(! equal to tin: standard"of thaso annually offered for sale. It seems to be universally admitted that there is something about the climate of the Northern part of New Zealand that renders it particularly adapted for the breeding 'if guild horses ; and the rich pasturage of the paddocks at Sylvia Park provides a supply of grass which'ix unrivalled throughout the year. The Stud Company, formerly known as the Auckland Stud Company, Limited, for several years paid dividends at the rate! of 10 per cent, out unfortunately an amalgamation with other companies, representing land, cattle, and sheep, involved it in difficulties, owing to the great fall in the price of cattle and sheep. The following figures, which are taken from the Stud Company's books, and are herefore authentic, should tend to prove that there is every prospect of the Company being a financial success :— ANN UAL EX PEXDITI ' RK. £ Wages, including manger's salary (£300) i>oo Lease and rent 1,300 Forage (oats, bran, linseed, hay, ... etc) 700 Veterinary surgeon 50 Office and"managing director ... 100 Extras, including repairs, fencing,... etc 3!!0 £3,500 ANNUAL INCOME. .£ By estimated salei of 24 yearlings ... 4,500 (From exceptional circumstances th° number of yearlings for sale next January is unusually small.)

It is estimated that in .lanuary, Im>2, thcro will be US yearlings for sale. The average number of yearlings sold annually has been 3:>, on thu present number of illations. Thu abovo estimate of Expenditure has been taken at the maximum, whilst the Income has, if anything, been undervalued. . It is proposed to raise a capital ot £20,000, in 20,000 shares of £1 each, and the public are invited to invest to that amount. At the last annual sale, in 18' JO, the progeny of Nordenfeldt realised an average of £355. Mr Cutts, the present resident Manager, has consented to engage himself to the new Company on the same terms as at present. A Committee of Directors for the Company will be selected at the tiint General Meeting. Applications for Shares will be recuived at the office of the New Zealand Stud and Pedigree Stock Company (Limited), Shorc-liind-street, where all information can be obtained. G. 'J'.
