SALES BY AUCTION PRELIMINARY NOTICE. TO CAPITALISTS, FARMERS, &c. Important Sale of FREEHOLD PROPERTY. I At his Stores, Harbour-street. ,4 If. M A U A * has received instructions from Dr. Webster, t» sell by public auction, about the END OF AIMUL (date in a future advertisement), that magnificent Freehold Estate, known as W I N D E II M E R E, Situate in the Kakanui Valley, and containing 759 acres of the richest Agricultural Land in the District, together with Educational Lease of about 16" acres. This Valuable Property is situated 11 miles from Oamarn, and 3 miles from the Maheno Railway Station, and is well ■watered. There is a substantial Seven-roomed House (with Orchard and Garden, well stocked with Fruit Trees), Three-roomed Cottage, Six-stalled Stable, Woolshed, Chaff-house, Stock and Sheep Yards, &c., &c, on tfie Property, which is securely fenced (with live fences) and sub-divided into 17 paddocks. In drawing the attention of buyers to this very desirable investment, the Auctioneer would point out that, owing to Dr. "Webster ] having used this Farm wholly for his stud flock of sheep, there have been no white crops taken off the land for a number of years ; and all the green crops grown have been fed off on the ground, thereby much increasing the value of the land for cropping purposes, and ensuring splendid retur when next broken up for cereals.

Terms very liberal. A. H. MAUDE, Auctioneer. UNRESERVED SALE. M 'LANDRESS, HEPBURN, AND CO. of Dtmeilin, have received iustruc tinns to sell I>y auction, at their Rooms Manse-street, Dnneilin, on WEDNESDAY, 17th APRIL, At 3 o'clock, THE ESTATE OF TITIPUA VALLEY, Consisting of .">2~O acres, in con-venient-sized Farms.

The Im'! is almost all equal in quality to ; the productive Taieri or Edendale plains, ami the remainder consists of rich sloping ridges of which nearly every acre is ploughable. There is a frontage of eight miles to the Titipua stream, and the property is well sheltered. The whole estate will be put up to auction in luts as originally conveyed by Government, and, in most cases, the purchaser will have the option of purchasing adjoining lots at the same price. The terms are unusually liberal, viz., 10s. cash per acre ; the balance in equal half-yearly payments extending over live years, bearing interest at £S per cent, per annum. It will be seen that this sale atfords a rare opportunity of securing excellent farms which, before they are paid for, will, in all probability, be worth many times their cost. Purchasers will have the benefit of deferred payments without the risk of forfeiture nuder the stringent regulations as to limited area, residence, and im-

provement, enforced under the Government system. The main road from Invercargill to Dunedin runs through the estate, and there are two railway stations Edendale and Woodlands—in close proximity, the nearest station being four miles off, whilst the farthest point from a railway station is only seven miles. Sections 33 and 34, Block V., Lindhnrst, will be put up together, to save fencing and to make the most of the water frontage, and the sections similarly situated will be put up in the same way. Although this land is about one hundred and seventeen miles distant by rail from Dunedin, it is only twenty-five to thirty miles south of Dunedin latitmlinally. The Auctioneers earnestly recommend intending buyers to secure a map of this laud, and place themselves in communication with Mr. M'lntosh, or Mr. Hay, so that arrangements may be made for its inspection : and, to prevent disappointments, it would be 'well to make arrangements at least one week before the proposed day of inspection. IJailway return tickets between Punedin and Invercargill are available for six days. A large map of the land may be inspected at the Albion Hotel, Invercargill, and at the auctioneers', Dunedin. Lithograph copies of the map may be had by applying to Mr. Hugh M'lntosh, or at the Albion Hotel, Invercargill, and the auctioneers', or Mr. A. I'. Hay, at Dunedin.

The wish of intending purchasers will be consulted. Intending purchasers can be shown over the land by applying to Mr. Hugh M'lntosh, Spey-street, Invercargill, or Mr. A. E. Hay, Dunwlin. 145
