telegraphic -messages of yesterday's doings that the Hoe would be blocked by the numerous lengthy reports to be transmitted; but we ars pleased to be able to state that, from enquiries at the telegraph office this morning as to how they fared under the extraordinary pi-ensure., we learn that aith'e 'gh Pi.O'iO words wore haded into the office, they wuvc put thiimgh by three o'clock a.m. This is the largest amount oi work ever performed in so idvi'-t a time at the Oamaru' office, and would do credit to many a larger branch. The sale of the Corriedale estate will take place to-morrow at 2 o'clock, at Mr. A. H. Maude's auction rooms. We would draw particular attention to this sale of land which for quality takes a first place in this district of unequalled soil. The extent of the property is 6300 acres, so that there will be no lack of opportunities for those desiring to become possessed of land that is noted for its capacity to yield some of the largest returns known to have been realised, even in this district to obtain good farms. In order that all n ay have an opportunlti of purchasing, the terms have been made remarkably easy. Ail particulars may be gieaned on ref .t-.uce to the advertisement.;; Tlie Waiaruka Church Bazaar was continued yesterday and to-day, and a larg. amount oi business was d..me. The audience was at one time last night so large that it. was most ditMcult to move about the room and. considering the nature of the. articles t. be seen and acquired, this is not surprising. During the evening the proceedings wev. enlivened by some vocal and instrument:!.' music, and although the noise, unavoidable on such occasions, was not conducive to good music, the performers did well. A schooner, supposed to be the Countess of Krrol, which has i.e-.n charter--d by Mr. ( icorge Sumpterto load eraiu for M dhotuvie lias just arrived as we go to press. The ioiorint of the Saturday Advertise and Public Opinion has been changed 1- " Messrs. Mackay, Bracken, and Co.,'' a:i; the improvement to this popular wee.ki paper under the new proprietary is nive narked. It now can boast of being o-.ie .. ;:he largest papers in the Colony, eonsis'.m as it does, in the new form of i-1 ptges o solid matter. As to the quaiily of its con tents nothing need bo said, for Mr Bracken'.lively, ple-.isant pen has gained for him a reputation in every corner of the Colony. Vi • I pay the highest enconium to the paper wliei: we say that Mr. Bracken is still itu editor. j
