AUCTION SALE OF PAINTINGS

..A continual stream of visitors have called at Veitch and Muir's Central Auctipn Mart this to inspect the beautiful paintings to be sold by auction next Friday at' 2-30 p.m.1 Mr. Goldsmith ha s frequently liad" pictures hung at.the ibest galleries in the world, including the Royal Academy, and making every allowance for difference of -opinion on such a huge subject as art there is.no gainsaying the beauty of this artist's efforts. Thfe most magnificent fiords, sounds, rivers, and mountains of. this country, s o ibountifullv ibkssed by nature, are all artistically depicted, and are worthy of a place in any home.'.There i s no doubt thatViin time, legislate.,.or try as w©-like, many of the beauty.spQts4vhich'give intense delight to all privileged ,to .behold them, must inevitably] disappear, and therefore, the possession of good. pictures ■of them must frove a never ending source of satisfaction to their fortunate owners. Educationally they are also of immense value, and the recent frequency of picture sales in Wanganui is a decided compliment to the town and its inhabitant^, and we are confident .this sale will by no means prove the least "successful. Thirty pictures will ibe offered, 'and absolutely no reasonable offer ■will ,be refused. Attractive catalogues I have been printed, and may be pro- ' cured on application to the auctioneers. ! A gaslight display will \be given at the Mart this evening.
