I. 9000 acres Rural Land m 41 Sections, varying from 50 to 500 acres. This magnificent tract of country is THE PICK OF THE MANCHESTER BLOCK. It lies all m the Valley of the "Oroua. It is very level ; is very well watered by several permanent creeks and by the Oroua River, yet no part of it is flooded, nor has it an acre of swamp. It lies within 2\ miles of Feilding, and within two i miles of the railway. It is connected—by a good metalled road running right through it— with the town of Feilding and the new town of -,-" Ashhurst," on the Manawatu Gorge. Many of the Sections are^* covered with very light bush* chiefly tawa ; several on the other hand, are very heavily timbered with a large proportion ;of totara, and are as fine saWmill sites as could be de- ' sired. Except with regard to the totara lands, purchasers will have- the* choice of taking up any of these lands lands on lease, with right to purchase, on very easy terms. 11. The Corporation portion of The new Town of Ashhurst, comprising 190 acres, divided into 342 sections. ' This is a sis* ter town to Feilding and Halcombe. Tho town itself and tho country round is being dealt with m theyway^ of bona fide settlement and foad-making, m pre-cisely-'-the same way as Feilding apd Halcotabe; -investors may, therefore, ..confidently look forward to a similar success to that which has attended those who were so fortunate.as to be the first investors m those towrs. Ash- I hurstjis nowconnected with Feild- i ing by a good metalled road running direct through the Manchester Block. It is on the main coach road from Palmerston to Napier. The main railway line from Wanganui to Napier runs through the heart of it, The traffic from a very large portion of the Man* chester Blork, and from nearly the whole of the Wanganui Har bor Board Endowment Block, must converge upon this town, and meet the railway at this point ; and as m addition to the road lines already completed, other roads are now being rapidly opened m several directions from it, Ashhurst must be the central depot of au enormous timber trade, there being more totara m its neighborhood than anywhere else m the Manawatu. This town is the centre of the operations of the Corporation now, and must continue to be so for the next three or four years. Independently of its importance ; as a convenient centre for a very. large area of country. Ashhurst", from its proximity to the Gorge and to the meeting of the waters of the Pohangina and Manawatu Rivers is most interesting and picturesque, and, as has been frequently observed by travellers m the Napier coach when passing through; *" it seems specially, designed, by nature for the site" of an important town.' - -111. 30 Suburban Sections of UalcQirilje* comprising 3.80 acreSXlie Sections varying m size from* 's to 40 acres. This Blook of Suburban Sections has been hitherto reserved from sale. It lies qn the boundary of the town itself, within half a mile of the railway station, and is opened by a good metalled road running * right through it. The whole of this block is covered with good timber either for sawing, spliu ting, or for firewood, and as this is the nearest available bush to Rangitikei and Wanganui, the timber ©o these Sections has a special value independently of the land, which, both for position and quality, can hardly he surpassed. These Sectious would be an admirable investment for any working man. JV. The Corpfa'ati° n portion of the Tovm bf ..Cheltenham, comprising 89 Town and 6 Suburban i Sections. This is a reserved Block on the Kimbolton read, on j the boundaries of the Manchester and Kiwitea Blocks. It is about 8 miles from Feilding.
