D. Macrorie, auctioneer, reports : — The booths for the approaching races were better competed for than the previous year, bringing in the aggregate a larger sura without the gates, which are on this occasion kept by the Club, than the whole realised in 1871. No. 1 booth, with which the grand stand is amalgamated, brought £33 ; No. 2, £20 ; No. 3, £22 10s ; fruit stall, £8 10s ; and the stewards may attribute the briskness of the bidding to the attractive programme they have made such efforts to place before the public. The sale in the rooms subsequently was thinly attended, and few lots passed the hammer. Invercargill, 12th February, 1872.
