In draughts Mr. D. McLennan 's team of nine draught geldings from Wedderburn was Uie puncipal attraction, and as they were of a g,ood stamp and heav.\ (but' mostly six years old and ovw) they were well competed for, and the best of them brought from £38 to £48 lOs ; the aged ones, from £1-7 to £28. A few other good draught geldings were sold at from £40 to £47 10s, and five or six medium draughts at from £30 to £36. A fine, upstanding spring-cart horse brought £26 10s, and another, an aged horse, £22.
