A Dispersal Sale.

" Messrs Wright, Stephenson and Co., Dunedin, report that owing to Mr Donald Macdonald, of Edendale Estate, having decided to give up the breeding of Clydesdale horses, the dispersal of his stud took place on Tuesday, and proved one of the most successful events of its kind that have ever been held in New Zealand.

Bidding never flagged, and every animal was sold, the prices yielding an average that tor 30 horses has probably not been equalled before.
