RAGLAN LAND SALE.

I On Friday, the 20th of February next, Messrs HuuLer and Nolan will offer for sale at Le Quesne's Hall, Hamilton, at 2, p.m., some very valuable properties in tfaglan and its neighborhood, the property of Mr T. B. Hill. The.se consist of sea, bide allotments suitable for villa oiteallotments in the town of Raglan itaels the village settlement of Karioi (situatef at the foot of tho mount of that name), and some half-dozen small farms adjoining the village settlement. Now that the money is voted for the bridge over the Waipa, that the road from Raglan to the Waipa is already completed, and the work of constructing the road between "Whatawhata and Hamilton about to be immediately undertaken by the Government, Raglan must very soon take up the position for whioh she is naturally fitted — that of the marine outlet or summer watering-place for the largely settled district of Waikato, and even for Auckland itself. When the road from the Auckland station to Whatawhata shall have been coniploted and the bridge over the Waipa built, Raglan will be brought within a day's journey from Auckland, for we may expect to see a tri-weekly coauh — in the summer months at any rate —running- between Raglan and Waikato, The sale has been held late in. the day to enable intending purchasers to arrive in time by the train, reaching hero at midday, and for those from Raglan to ride over in the morning. The villa site allotment are well-situated, and from what we iearn the soil of' the small farms, which vary from 25 to C8 aores eaoh, is of really good quality.
