Five Hundred Sections, comprising ove 10,000 acres, being Village, Town, .Sub mban, and liurnl lands, in Sections vary ing from a Quarter-acre to 500 Acres thus offering opportunities for profitabli investment to all Classes—to Tradesmen to Laborers of every description, ti farmers wishing to make homes in thii prosperous settlement; ami especially to Saw-millers and .Bushmen desirous ol reaping a golden harvest from the Wanganui Timber Trade. The following are the several Properties which will Le offered for sale 1.—9000 acres Rural Land, in 41 sections, varying from 50 to 500 acres. This magnificent tract of country is the pick of the Manchester Block, It lies all in the Valley of the Orowa, is very level, is very well watered by several permanent creeks and by the Orowa liiver; yet no part of it is Hooded, nor has it an acre of swamp, It lies within 2J miles of Feilding, and within 2 miles of the railway. It is connected by a good metalled road running right through ir, with the town of Fielding and the new town of " ./Ishhursl" on the Manawatu Gorge. Many of the sections are covered with very light bush, chiefly tawa; several, on the other hand are very heavily timbered, with a large proportion of totara, and are as fine sawmill sites as could be desired, Except with regard to the totara laud, purchasers will have the choice of taking up any of these lands on lease, vdth right of purchase, on very easy terms, ll.—The Corporation portion of the new town of" Aslnirst," comprising I'JO acres, divided into 342 sections,

This is a sisU-r town to Feilding and Halcombe. Tho town itself and the country round is being dealt with in the way of bomi jide settlement and roadmaking in precisely the same way as Feilding and Haleombe. Investors may therefore confidently look forward to a similar success to that which has attended those who were so fortunate as to bo the first investors in those towns. 1 ' jjsliImrst" is now connected with with Feilding by la a good metalled road running direct through the Manchester Block. It is on the main coach road from Mnerston to Napier, The main railway line from Wanganni to Napier rims through the heart of it, The traffic from a very large portion of the Manchester Block, and from nearly the whole of the Wanganni Harbour Board Endowment Block, must converge upon this town, and meet the railway at this point, and as, in addition to the road lines completed, other roads arc now being rapidly opened in several directions from it," Ashhurst" must be the central depot of an enormous timber tiadc, there being more totara in its neighbourhood than anywhere else in the Manawatu. This town is the centre of the operations of the Corporation now, and must continue to be so for the next three or four years. Independently of its importance as a convenient centre for a very large area of country, "vlshhurst," from its proximity to the Gorge and to the meeting of the waters of the Pohanguia and Manawatu Rivers, is most interesting and picturesque, and as has been frequently observed by travellers in the Napier coach when passing through, " It seems specially designed by nature for the site of an important town." lll.—Thirty Suburban Sections of Halcombe, comprising 389 acres, the sections varying in sizo from 5 to -10 acres.

This block of suburban sections has been hitherto referred from sale. It lies on the boundary of the town itself, within half a mile of the railway station, and is opened by a good metalled road running right through it. The whole of this block is covered with good timber, either for sawing splitting or for firewood;; and as this is the nearest available bush to llangitikei and Wahganni the timber on these sections has a special value independently of the laud, which both for position and quality can hardly be surpassed. These sections would be an admirable investment for any working man. IV,—The Corporation portion of the Town of Cheltenham, containing 89 town and 5 suburban sections.

This is a reserved block on the Kimbolton lload, on the boundaries of the Manchester and Kiwitea Blacks. It is about 8 miles from Feilding. The town sections mostly front on the Kimbolton Bond, which is the main road

from Mding to the interior, and is made and metalled from Feilding through this town and some miles beyond. The town sections noiv offered are quite equal, if not not superior, in position to those which at the sale of the other part of the town a week ago realised from £3O to £l2O the quarteracre. On the suburban sections which lio along the Kiwitea Stream are to be found

some of the finest dumps of lotara in the country. One large sawmill is now being erected two miles north of this town, and Cheltenham must be the centre of a large timber trade, which the extension of the Kimbolton Bowl is rapidly developing. V—The Village ofStanway, The Village comprises 24 small sections. It is situated at the junction of the Stanway and llakino roads, two of tlio main metalled roads on the Manchester Block. The whole of the country round this village being occupied, an opportunity i 3 offered by the subdivision and sale of this reserve for tlio saw-mill or other laborers about to make a convenient freehold for themselves. The land is clear of bush, and as the village of Stanway is at the junction of three metalled roads leading to Halcombe, Feilding, and Marton, it is«favorable situation for a store, a blacksmith's shop, a carpenter, and a fow other tradesmen.

I'lans of the several Blocks may be obtained from C. P. Powlks, Hunter-street, Wellington; or, if applied for by post or telegraph, to Messrs Halcombe and Snra. will, Mding, will be forwarded by iirst post, free, to any part of the Colony. TERMS OF SALE.
