ALFRED BUCKLAND has received instructions from Mr. John Grigg, of Otnhuhu, consequent on his leaving the Province of Auckland, to sell, in lots, at his residence, ON TUESDAY, DECEMBER 12TH, AT NOON, the whole of his First-class Flock of Leicester Long-woolled SHEEP, amounting to near One Thousand Five Hundred Head, in the following proportions :— ABOUT 1100 ewes and lambs 230 ewe lambs 119 hog rams 12 aged rams. Nine of the aged Rams are imported sheep, from the Flocks of Messrs. Sandys, Tremayne, and Kirkham, and among them are Prize Rams from the Royal Agricultural Show of Great Britain, bred by — Sandys, Esq , and the Bath and West of England Annual Cattle Show, exhibited by James Tremayne, Esq., and one of them, recently shorn, cut twenty-four pounds weight of wool. The superiority of this Flock has been well established in the Province of Auckland, having taken two-thirds of all the prizes for which they have competed since 1859, when Mr. Grigg's two Imported Rams obtained first prizes. At the Dunedin Exhibition the second prize , was awarded to the three Ewe Hoggets showr by Mr. Grigg, and which afterwards broughi at auction £95, the first prize being awardec » to a fully matured English Ewe. '' The prize for " General Superiority o Leicester Wool" was also awarded to Mr Grigg, and the samples shown are now oi ' view at Messrs. Driver and Maclean's Stor at Dunedin, and at Messrs. Aikraan am Wilson's, at Christchurch. . The average weight of wool obtained fron this flock is higher than that of any other ii this province, that of the Ram Hogs, sold las year, being 15Jlbs each ; whilst the price obtained at the annual sale of Hoggets hav been higher in each successive year—on th last occasion, in 1864, thirty-five Hogget averaged near £20 each. - No expense has been spared in obtainini the best Rams for crossing that could be pre cured from Great Britain, and the sires froi ,8 this flock are admirably adapted for crossin ie with Merino Ewes ; "having small heads an 88 never having received any artificial feeding. in 28 I respectfully call the particular attentio of breeders to the following extract from tl London Agent's report to Messrs. Drivei n. Maclean, and Co.'" With the rapid increai 10 in the quantities imported from all our coli — nies, except Tasmania, it is more than ev< necessary that attention should be paid to tl growth of New Zealand Wool, «o ai to pr< duce a sample that will not only suit the wan of this market, but compete with the pri duction of other colonies. We require a lor stapled wool, well got up, and free from gra seed. We would rather lost a little in qualil than sacrifice length of staple. Good com ing flocks, from New Zealand, are always w< competed for in this market, while sho stapled, wa3ty, wool is much neglected."
