THE COMING LAND SALE

On next WednesdaylMessrs. Thynne, Linton, and Co, w*ill;bff er to public competition, one thousand acres of the pick pf the agricultural land m the celebrated Manchester Block . The success which has hitherto attended the many land sales carried out by these well-known auctioneers, warrants the supposition that that of Wednesday will have a like favorable termination, the more particularly as such very -judicious arrangements have been 7 made for placing them m the market. On account of ' the high -price per - acre which the land is worth, it was not deemed wise to offer the property m one lot, and consequently it was divided into four, butin carrying out/this -step special provisions and attention was paidtb the -.wants of the yanous purchasers. In the first place Lot No. 1, contained 161 acres, while • the three remaining portions range m dimension from one hundred to one hundred and. fifty acres each, still it has been so arranged by the surveyor that each section contains a moderate quantity of splendid-bush suitable for fencing, or any other purpose. The contiguity of I the property , to the railway line— to Kakiriki on one tide and Halcombe on the other— coupled to the .fact that a good metalled road runs right through the heart of it, are incalculable advan-. tages which should not"*be overlooked. A-i a guarantee of the genuineness of all the representations put forward; ' «V ; . visit of inspection prior to purchasing is not: only invited, biit we have been asked to intimate that the proprietor, Mr. Linton, will be on, the tho davy preceding the sale-; to;'-glve''".a^;.;iniEormi-tion on the subject. We certainly are 'not able to speak of our own, knowledge of the scenic beauties of the property m question, but quite independently Ot the richness of the land, and its value from, an agricultural point pf view, Wood? lawn has the reputation of possessing some of the grandest scenery m the Manawatu. :; . :
