The sale commenced ahottly after twelve, at Mr Charles Clark’s rooms (kindly lent for the occasion). There was a large attendance, and more animation shown than we have seen at land sales for some time. About one-half the sections offered were disposed of, the price realised being at the rats of .£I3OO per acre. As there were many inquiries for the unsold sections immediately after the sale, we have little doubt bat -that we will bo able shortly to dispose of them at prices fully equal to those obtained at auction. After the sale of sections we offered a property of half an aero, with twelve-roomed house, close to the Fendaltown bridge on lot 103. This property, however, failed to find a purchaser.
