I must here acknowledge the courtesy of the Secretary of the Featlierston Hoad Board, who has promised me full reports of all their meetings. A very fine mob of well-bred horses, belonging to a gentleman who has lately disposed of his run in Napier to Donald M‘Lean, Esq., passed though Masterton on Friday last, and are to be submitted to the hammer at Greytown to-day. As this is one of Mr Lucas’s first horse sales , at Greytown, a large number of pur chasers are expected to be present. Advance Wairarapa ! In prefacing my letter thus I have the earnest sympathies of a vast and increasing multitude. Wai rarapa evinces many signs of progress, more especially of financial. Among the many signs of progress let me include Mr Lucas’s horse sale to-day. At 1 o’clock Mr Lucas ascended the rostrum behind the Foresters’ Arms, and in an appropriate prefatory address, stated that he had long recognised the want of a monthly sale for stock ; that he now was about to open his first sale (the first of the kind in Waira rapa), and that he hoped to deserve and receive their hearty support. No 1, roan mare, half bred, by Milo, 5 years old, was bought in. No 2, black gelding, by Black Prince, out of light mare, a very compact, powerful animal, was also bought in. No 3, bay mare, with yearling foal at foot, nine years old, strong, quiet to ride, and pack, staunch in harness, was sold for £5 10s. No 4, brown mare, foal at foot, a very powerful animal, 6 years old, exceedingly quiet and good tempered, used to pack, foal by thorough-bred horse, was sold for £4. No 5, dark bay gelding, was bought in. No 6, light grey mare, "5 years old, sound and' free from vice, was also bought in. No 7, bay gelding, 4 years-old, unbroken, out of a well known mare, by St Patrick, by the imported thorough-bred of that name, out of thorough-bred mare, and bred by the Hon D. M‘Lean, was sold for £5. No 8, black gelding, 10 years old, sound, and quiet to ride, by Glendon, out of blood mare, was withdrawn. No 9, chesnut mare, 7 years old, unbroken, supposed to be by Glen don, was sold for £7 10s.
