STOCK SALE Ai CARNARVON.

The first annual sale of stock from the estate of Mr J. McLennan and Mr F. B, Larkworthy took place on Friday at Carnarvon. A special trail was run from Wanganui, and although only some three or four passengers travelled from there, a very fair number got on board at Turakina, Mnrton, -and the intermediate stations between Carnarvon. Vehicles were m waiting, and visitors were conveyed from the station to the Oroua Downs homestead. The day was fine, but the strong breeze which was blowing raised clouds of sand, which had the effect of rendering matters rather unpleasant. An excel* lent luncheon was provided, and after it had been despatched, the real business of the day began. Mr Stevens wielded the hammer, and the first lot offered were 90 pureobred Lincoln rams, bred by Mr E. Menlove, of Windsor Park, Canterbury. The whole* lot were sold without exception and at very satisfactory figures. The rams were m pens of five, and were sold separately, the following being the prices obtained and the buyers : — Lot 12, No 1, R. Edwards, L 3 3a 2d ; No 2, B.
