On Tuesday next, the 16th inst, one of the most important sales of racing stock ever held in the Wairarapa will take place at Mr P. F. Tancred's farm, Clareville, commencing at one o'clock sharp, when MrF. H. Wood.underinstructitms from Mr Tanared, will submit to public auction the whole of that gentleman s well known stud. This will comprise, four pure bred brood mares, viz., I Princess Royal, Fair Acnes, Euby, and First Water.all being in foal to Forester; two 4 year olds, Oddfellow aud Verbose; five 2 year olds, Sir Harry, ttoyal Oak, First Blood, Alcione, and Fresh Deal; four yearlings, and the far famed racers now in training, The Spy, Rosa Bonheur and Forester; also, a valuable imported draught brood mare, a first class buggy horse, and several good hacks. Full pedigrees of all the horses appear in the New Zealand Stud Book, and in the printed catalogues, which latter can be obtained from Mr Tannred or the auctioneer. Mr Tancred will also be giad to show intending buyers over the stud at any time prior to the Bale. Very little comment is necessary in connection with this sale, as its importance, is sure to be recognised by all gentlemen at all interested in racing matters, or desirous of securing a first class haok. Mr Tancred's horses and colors are well known all over New Zealand, and we expect to see a very large gathering at the sale, and some good prices realised. The bulk of the horses to be submitted are untried as racers, but from their parentage and present form we shall not be surprised to hear that some of them will in the future make such a name for themselves as will not only reflect credit on their owners and breeder, but on New Zealand itself.

A further lot of our celebrated English blankets has iust come to hand per ship Nelson, and are now ready for selection at Te Aro House.

This shipment comprises in all over 600 pairs of the yery best blankets it is possible to buy in the various qualities, and as we purchase from tbe best manu* facturere, we get them at the very lowest market prices for cash, and will sell them correspondingly cheap, at Te Aro House. In white blankets we commence at the very low prioe of six and elevenpence, and go upwards to the very best produced from the very best looms in the world. If you take the low quality, we can recommend it as astonishingly good for the money, and in all tne intermediate and higher qualities better value is not to be obtained, £SO where you will. It should, therefore, be a foregone conclusion that for these things you should visit Te Aro House.

Fob large size, for extra weight, for good quality, and for durability we would strongly recommend our one guinea blankets, and would unhesitatingly assert that these are the best guinea worth of wool and warmth in Wellington. Ab in the past bq now, we expect to have numerous enquiries for our guinea blankets, at Te Aro House.
