HEATON PAEK.

Messrs C. L. Duigan and Co., the agents for the sale of this wellknown property, have been besieged with enquiries about the estate during the last few days. Tho splendid position of the property, and , its proximity to the railway by- good met- " ailed roads, renders it pajticularly suitable £or salo in farms of smaller area. The' estate comprises some of the richest agricultural and pastoral land in the colony, j also a large area of undrained flax swamps, the value of the nax from which will more than pay tho cost of drainage. The estata is offered at bedrock prices and on very easy terms. Messrs C. "L. Duigan and .Co. will be pleased to send full particulars on application. l.'h.psO interested should lose no time, but? write or wire^ promptly to the agents.

Judging by the crowded state of Mr Buckrell's 2' renl 'i ses " this afternoon, lrnsi.ncss must have been very brisk. This' sale without doubt represents the biggest money-saving opportunity of the year, as all classes ef^ goods (both suramot and winter) are reduced, and it will pay_ no one to miss the opportunity thus offered.

Customers may therefore, .depend upon their work being- done in a satisfactory manner. __

Patrons of FitzGeralds' Circus throughout Australasia will regret to hear of the death of Commodore at a' veterinary establißincnt in Sydney a few days ago. The pqny was 27 years old, and had baen*connected with the circus since its inception. The brothers, in fact, considered him their Mascotte, and his death therefore conies as a heavy blow. Everywhere the pony was an immense favourite — probably there wasv not a more widely known or more popular f liotfo in- the Commonwealth. He had been ailing for some time, but his death is said to have been a peaceful one. The - skin is being- preserved, while the hoofs are ' being made into mementos, which will serve as heirlooms in the families of the enterprising brothers.
