Auctioneers I MR M. It. MILLER'S SALES. IMPORT just PRELIMINARY NOTICE RISSINGTON ESTATE. COMPACT PASTORAL AND AGRICULTURAL FREEHOLDS OF ABOUT 500 TO 4000 ACRES EACH. MABCH, 1882. BY PUBLIC AUCTION. M. R. MILLER Has received instructions from Messrs R. H. Rhodes and Co., of Rissington, to lay out into convenient farms, and sell by auction in March next, about— A f\ f\Ch4^ ACRES of that Estate v/v." being the portionnearest to Napier — care being taken that all existing buildings, fences, and improvements thereon be made available, and that each block be well watered and of easy access, and taking advantage of natural features and boundaries, to include low lands and downs so as to j give each individual property every i advantage to the purchaser. L The fencing is all thoroughly subJ stantial, and there are over 3000 acres I ploughed on various parts of the portion to be sold. All has been sown with the exception of a few smaller blocks which will be ready for sowing this season. The Riseingixm homestead block has many valuable improvements, cultiva-tion-paddocks, &c, a capital country seat, besides containing Mount M'Neill, one of the best grazing hills in Hawke's Bay. Mount Cameron is equally wellknown, being another block. The Ardlusse Downs are all fit for the plough. "entle Annie and Smithfield Downs blocks contain also a large extent of lands ploughed and laid down in grass, but it is not within the limit of an advertisement to describe each of the blocks that will be sold. The "cutting-up" of this estate will be of immense advantage to fchis district, the preaent owners liaving consented to this course as a step toward realising on fche whole of this magnificent property, rendered necessary by the death of one of the partners. Although Rissington Estate is so wellknown locally it is not out of place to state that it commences about 18 miles west from Napier. The lands, though varied in feature, are rich and on limestone formation, abundantly watered by springs and everrunning streams. The whole freehold comprises about 74,000 acres, on which though large sums have been expended in improvements, instructions are to put such a very moderate reserve on the portions offered (whieli include the longest inrproved lands) as must ensure sale. There are about 1000 cattle and 90,000 sheep and lambs now on the estate, the greater portion of which will be sold after the land sale, and will enable buyers to etock readily. Of the wool Messrs Balme and Co., brokers, London, report under date, 6th September, 1881 .— " We are glad to be able to speak in terms of unqualified praise." A survey of the lands to obtain the acreage of each block will be mado and plans issued as soon as this work is completed.
