Gilmonr's splendid little property at Ash ton, containing 100 acres. For good properties there is still an active demand, the difficulty m medium land being to bring settlers and buyers ideas into the same groove. Last Saturday about tifty hordes were entered for the day. There were several buyers preae'nt who had to go away mi supplied, the general character of those entered being only (with a few exceptions) of a very inferior data. I sold draught geldings to £22 10s, £21 15s, £21, £19 10s downwards; hacks, £7 to £16 ; screws, £1 to £4 ss, as per description. Those having good (traught horses to Hell cannot do better than send them m now. . ,

Mr Herring, of the Alford Estate, tells; us that the breed of sheep with which he had to dispense, on account of the maiden eWes and eVen some of the wethers giving milk, was the English! lieipesteV. He now uses Border Leicester rams and finds them suitable and profitable sheop, Two bales of tha Alford wool have been reserved for exhibition ait Chicago. Owing to the Ashburton amateurs having receireaan engagement to produce "Caste ' m Thnaru next "February, and m consequence of one of the performers being indisposed at present, it has been decided to postpone the final production of " Caste " m Ashburton until the evening prior to appearing m : Timaru, , . , .-...: ■ ■ ■ The farms at the Spread Eagle, part of the Alford Estate, were offered for sale by auction to-day, by Mr J.

We have no occa sion to offer rewards m p/oof of the genuine ness of our references.
