CLEARING SALE.

Fernyside and Beach Farms.

The sale of the two farms that were the property of the late Mr Jatnea Jamieson, of the Beach Road, took place yesterday at the Fernyside Farm, Beach Road. The sale was m the hands of Messrs Friedlander Bros., Limited, and Messrs Hanraer and Graves, whose arrangements were admirable, but not more so than those made m prepara tion for the sale by the representatives of the executors of the late Mr Jamieson. There was a very large gathering of farmers and others interested m land and agriculture, attracted by the olearing sale of the farms themselves and the live and dead stock upon, them, besides a number of Ashburton resi dents—male and fema'e— to whom the furniture sale was the attraction. The high reputation which the homestead has always borne for hospitality was well sustained m the sumptuous luncheon that was provided and served m the granary, and after full justice had been done to it, the sule com menced. It) was noon when Mr J. R. Bland, representing Messrs Hanmcr and Graves, mounted an extemporised rostrum, and made a short speech introductory of the sale. Mr Rudolph Friedlander also addressed those present, and on the conclusion of tho speeches the sale began. &lr Bland offered the homestead block of 190 acres for which a bid of £20 an acre was at once given. This was soon capped, and £22 10s was reached, the bid of the Jamieson brothers- Messrs Alick and William. As so bids followed this, the farm was knocked down to the eons of the pioneer who turned the first sod of it, and a succession of obeers arose m greeting of the purphaseis that might have been heard miles away. Th» family home having thus been secured by two members of it, Mr Friedlander relieved Mr Bland, and put up the beach farm. It was started at £4 an aore, and by five Rhi lings bids soon crept up to £5 an acre. This again waß the bid of the brothers, and was the line of demarcation over which no other bidder seemed inclined to go, and so the brothers Jamieeon again were the successful bidders, the land being kucoked down to them at that figure. The working r lant, horses, sheep, and cattle, eto-, were then sold, as well as the furnirure, etc., of the dwelling house, everything fetching satisfactory figures, and the whole sa'e going without a hitoh. The implements, and so forth, were m splendid condition, and were fairly well up to date ; but it ib noteworthy that the late Mr Jamieson being one of the earliest settlers m the county had to content himself m the early days with such imple* ments as were then available. How weli he kept them was evidenced by the fact that • single furrow swing plough wm amongst the items on the catalogue, and it seemed to bo m as good coudi iun as when thirty years ago it was trusted to do the main plough wi.rk of the season, 'lhe farm was one of the earliest selections of the county, and it , was pleasing to look round and note among those present some of the veterans m pioneer work, such as Messrs Joseph Hunt, W. Rose, Malcolm Millar. Pet<r Chelmers, and others, besides many oid Mentis from far distant parts of the comity. It. is satisfno* to know that the farm has passed into rY / of two deserving sons of the brave if • -"t. who will doubtless preservo the old pione. tionn and associations of the the warm tra- - fl . which tbe M lengthened peno. * oO loni e tl countenances of t.. * ne Bhone upon the happy .
