'■ EXTENDING OVER THREE YEARSJ MACRORIE & CUTHBERTSON (in conjunction with Mr J. S.

" 'The land imme- , ' diately adjoins the' beautiful and valuable property of * Christopher Basstian, Esq., known as Woodstock. The estate now submitted tb public competition is known as - ' • BLENHEIM, - And contains, as above,. 3424 acre? excellent agricultural land, divided by Government survey into 35 sections, varying from 80 to 1 10 acres each ' on an average, besides one section in block IV, immediately adjoining, and wbi^h contains from 200 to 300 acres of valuable bush. - Arrangements are being made by which this bush section will be cut up into lots of 20 to 25 acres, to be offered separately, so that each purchaser, of open land will have an opportunity of acquiring bush also. The owner being determined to place this propertyabsolutelyinthe hands of the public, has resolved to adopt the system on which the Government Land Sales are conducted, and which has the effect of stimulating competition by making it obvious that every bid must be bona fide from an intending buyer — the system of naming an Upset Price at which every section will be submitted. The lowest price of Government land is forty shillings per acre. The Blenheim Estate will be offered at the UPSET PRICE OF FORTY-FIVE SHILLINGS PER ACRE. No further bid; or reserve will -be, made, on the part of the owner, and no sections will be withdrawn. The public have, therefore, the same advantage as is offered at Government sales, and the bidder of the Upset Price of Forty-five Shillings per acre for any section will be entitled to purchase at that ridiculously low figure, should no ; further competition ensue. TERMS: In order still further to meet the requirements of all classes, the -proprietor has determined to offer the most liberal terms, viz.: — One-sixth cash on faU of hammer ; onesixth in three months from date of sale ; one-sixth in twelve months ; one-sixth in eighteen months ; onesixth in twenty-four months ; onesixth in thirty months : and onesixth in thirty-six months ; each instalment bearing interest at the very moderate rate of seven per cent, per annum. Each section will be submitted as a separate lot, in the order in which they are placed on the Government map, and no section will be withdrawn. To enable buyers from Dunedin and Invercargill leaving their homes that morning to attend the sale, arrangements are being made for the 9 a.m. and 9.25 a.m. express trains respectively to pull up at -Mataura for passengers to alight. Every information may be obtained from the auctioneers, from Mr J. S. Shanks, Mataura, or from Mr Hugh M'lntosh, Half-way Busb, who will be happy to show intending purchasers over the ground.
