DOUGHARTY has the honour to intimate to all buyers of pure-bred stock, that he has reoeived instructions (conjointly with Messrs Ryan and Hammond, and Messrs Powers, Rutherford, and Co.) from ROBERT M 'DOUG ALL, Esq., of Eaßendon, to Sell by Publio Auotion, and Without any Reserve, I at the farm of Arundel, 11 milea from Melbourne, on Tuesday, the 7th day of December next, at Eleven o'clock in the forenoon sharp, ONE HUNDRED HEAD of <hat celebrated breeder's best tribes of ahort-horn Cattle, and consisting of bulla, cowb, and heifers in fine breeding order, and wholly void of blemish. To the stockholders of the 'Australian Colonies, it may seem superfluous here to announoe that these cattle have been bred by their present owner, for the last twenty years, with every oare that a matured judgment would diotate, and at a cost, throughout the whole process of improvement, that would now, if revealed, really appear little short of fabulous. The most expensive blood in the United Kingdom has been periodically imported in sufficient quantities for the exclusive use of the berd ; and to indicate that these importations were from the very oream of the cattle of the universe, it may bo here mentioned that the Sires used chiefly for the laat seven yeaia, were — __ MASTER OF ATHELSTANE (14,933), of the " Bracelet Tribe" PRINCE OF THE PURPLE (20,580), of the " Bliss Tribe," and COUNT OF THE EMPIRE (21,497), of tho " Mantalini Tribe ;". . the three families, probably, most famed of all the world-renowned "Booth" Shorthorns. Tne Auctioneers trust that, from the abovb facts, intending purchasers will obobierve that the stock now about to be submitted to the hammer are the immodiate blood relations of those individual beast* whioh took ninoteon-tweatieths of all the prizes offered for Shorthorn Classes in Eng* land last year. In addition to the Shorthorn Cattle, FIFTY PURE SOUTHDOWN EfiTES. with thoir lambs at foot, will be likewise sold without any reserve. These sheep are the progouy of imporations from the famous fiook* of the late Duko of Richmond and of the late Mr Jona* Wobb, and cannot bo ox* celled for purity and profit. As the present sale is necessitated, moon* sequence of Mr M'Dougall's presenoo being required in Britain early in 1870, the farm of Arundel, of about 640 acres in extent will be let for a period of throe years ; and tho farm of Warlaby, BuUa BuUa, likewise 040 acre*, and 17 milm from Melbourne, will bo lot for tho aame period. . With the Utter farm, to an approvod tonant, would be let the femnle onlls of tho herd, amounting to about fifty head, and chiefly young things, togother with a picked young bull. The ownor would .gladly mako an arrangomont of this nature, so as to preserve, In a state of purity, a'remnant of the oattlo on which he has bestowed so muoh pains.
