Dunedin Horse Saleyards.

The light harness horses comprised 14 remounts short shipped for South Africa, and a consignment of a dozen hacks and harness horses from North Canterbury, The demand all through the sale was most satisfactory. There was a large attendance of 'buyers, and, with a few solitary exceptions, nearly every horse in the yards found a new owner. The sale of the remounts attracted a lot of buyers, and there was some disappointment that only half of them were offered to-day, the other half being reserved for next Saturday's Bale.
