The reason is plainly obvious, as' people do not giro the auctioneers sufficient notice of their intending entries, and not a few sheep on Saturday ~Jasb, were entered a very short while, beforo the sale_ begin.' Flock-owners must seo that it is to their own advantago to let the auctioneer kno>v N what they intend to enter at least a week beforehand, so that they may advertise the sale.

I may mention that the h*rm':ma'ke' no charge for advertising stock, so that the vendors will not- be run into any expense, Onlyono lot of sheep was sold ur.der the hammer, the; rest being got rid of privately after the sale. After tho stock had been run through, the effect? of the late Thomas Kirby wore sold by order ot the Public Trustee, the deceased., having no friends in the Colony. ,"
