DUNEDIN HORSE SALEYARDS.

Messrs. Wright, Stephenson and Co. report as follows :— The entry this year was not so large as at our first annual sale, but the moat of the horses were rqual'y fine stamps, The moderate entry was no doubt due to the impression that had gone abroad that prices at this sale would not be very good. The result proved the very opposite, for reilly first-class heavy draughts, 4 to 6 years old, were eagerly competed for, and two or three times tbe number could easily have ben placed at values current during the day. The top price of the day, £29 10a, was procured for Mr Jumes Gow's bay gelding by Bir Robert ; the next highest price, £29, was secured for a very fine chestnut colt by What's Wanted out of Jewel, owned and bred by Mr Robert Chartert.
