DUNCAN has received instructions to dispose of a FIRST-CLASS HOTKL, situated in one of the best positions of the city of Wellington, which has enjoyed for the past three or four years, and still possesses, one of the most extensive, Tespoctable, and profitabla business connections in thte improving and rapidly increasing capital of the colony. The sole reason for the present proprietor parting i with his interest in this valuable property—which he does very reluctantly—is, that business of an unex pected nature compels him to leave New Zealand for a considerable time. The premises are in capital order, ar« thoroughly T^ltniniishea, supplied with gas and water, and pos • *" all the requisities for carrying on its large and <* business. *d__ lation as to the profitable nature of its ■i>"«s, oa >s, of the fullestand most satisfactory char ' X Wwwhi $ given from the proprietor's own books, s&, pet,Ta.jan be readily confirmed from Mr Dun ca^B.ace r( _al 'knowledge. The advertiser has not had pry" pin his hands for some years past a property he canS^Sore confidently recommend, or which is certain t<v prove so lucrative as this, if continued Under tbe management of a person acquainted with hotel business. It is perhaps superfluous to add that at this moment there is no place in New Zealand which is advancing more quickly in population, ■where travellers so frequently pass through, or any town where customers patronising a good hotel are better able and willing to suppo-t one as in this city. Full particulars on application at Duncan'a Auction Sale Room, Wellington. December Bth, 1878.
