The hall was fairly well filled by a representative audience and everything promised a most successful sale, as numerous prospective buyers were known to bo present. Tho first section, lot 1, of 4po acres, was knocked down to Mr Finorty, of Fatea, at the up. set price of 21s, and considering that (hn buyer was tlio surveyor, this should establish confidence if it was wanting. The subsequent lots, however, wero all quickly passed in without eliciting any bid, The auctioneer announced that during tho day he would be prepared to treat privately at the upset price, but after that the sections would probably all be withdrawn from sale.

Tho memorial on such an occasion will probably bo of a culoniul oharactor, and worthy of tho Colony of New Zealand and tho departed soldier and statesman, who served his adopted country so faithful and woll. Tho leaders of both sides of the House aro likely to givo the matter cordial support, and it is not unlikely His Excellency the Governor may be asked to become patron of tho fund, Mr Alexander Fraser, of Masterton, has abandoned his proposed trip to the Old Country. The lambing in tho Eangitikei district is estimated at 75 per cent.

The Wakamarina Gorgo Goldmining Company has boen floated in Melbourne by a syndicate with $ 30,000 capital, and work commences at once. Mr Edward Purser is the legal manager. Mr A.

A PUTTERING VERMCT.-tSpoaking of onoof tho most noted of colonial specialities, the press says:—' 'Sharland's Baking Powder deserves moro than a passing noticejor the "Moa" Brand Baking Powder enjoys a reputation second to none. From ono end of New Zealand to the other, largo orders arc recoived for this popular brand. Even in the most out of the way districts the careful house-wife, possessed with tho laudable ambition to make her bread and her acones better than her neighbours', buys Sharland's Baking Powder, and triumphs over tho few of her loss sensible sisters, who, from a mistaken sense of economy, buy apparently cheaper brands, The recipe of a good Baking Powder is anything but a secret; but how very few manufacturers use, as Messrs Sharland Mo. do, the boat only of materials, carefully tested before mixture and oxactly proportioned." Readers, who require an economical, satisfactory and healthful Baking Powder, cannot do better than use the "Moa "brand.—Advt
