MANUTAHX, PATE A DISTRICT. THE Promoters beg to submit to'the public the particulars of their LAND SALE on the ART UNION PRINCIPLE, and would point out a few of the advantages likely to accrue from the successful venture.

It is arranged that the drawing shall take place in Carlyle on the 20tk March, 1878, and the winning numbers advertised in the Patea Mail of 3rd April, 1878. The winners to produce their tickets as payment for the land, Manutahi is exactly midway between the two great centres of population in the Patea District, (Carlyle and Hawcra), and is ton miles from each. It is situated on the Main Trunk Line of Road, is rich in soil, is surrounded by almost endless tract of country, which is admitted on all sides cannot be surpassed, possibly not equalled, in the Colony. Apart from its great ccntralistic character, Manutahi will be a great half-way Depot from the Port of Patea inwards, and for cattle, produce, and all the vast wealth of the territory lying beyond (outwards). The Waitara-Wanganui Railway is surveyed through it. In view of the Patea Harbor Works now in progress, the successful accomplishment of which is an admitted fact; in view of the hind being sought after and eagerly grasped and occupied from day to day, the advantage of Town Land in this locality is obvious to all who are in any way acquainted with it. About 4,000 acres of rich country, quite close to this Township, will be offered by the Government at auction during the early part of 1878, which will attract many settlers (more especially as it is surveyed in small lots), and cause an increased demand for Town Lands, with all the concomitant requirement of stores, hotels, shops, trades, &c., &c. The land is quite level, all cleared and grassed. ■ ■ Plans and full particulars may be obtained on application to Sir William Cowern, auctioneer, Carlyle, where also tickets may bo obtained. Agencies have been established at New Plymouth, 'Wanganui, Wellington, and intervening townships. 62
