Wellington, 22nd April, 1885.

IT is hereby notified that the sections of land as per
Schedule hereunder will be offered for sale, on deferred
payments, by application at the Land Office, Wellington, on
Tuesday, the 2nd June, 1885, between the hours of 9.30

chase the same section, an auction will be held between
them, at the Institute, Masterton, on Thursday, the 4th

For the convenience of deferred-payment selectors resident
in the Wairarapa District, a Government officer will be in

SCHEDULE.
LAND ON DEFERRED PAYMENTS.—RESIDENCE NOT COM-
PULSORY.

Terms of Payment: With the applications for deferred-
payment sections one-twentieth of the upset price must be
paid in cash, or by bank draft, or marked cheque; the
balance of the purchase-money in half-yearly instalments
extending over ten years.

The sections comprised in the above Schedules are situated
near Pahiatua, in the Mangaone Block, in the Kopuaranga
District, about Dreyer’s Rock, near Dreyerton, and some of
them front upon or adjacent to the main road connecting
Masterton and Woodville. Branch roads have been formed
through, or leading to, the sections at Dreyer’s Rock, Central
Mangaone, Hawera, and Pahiatua, at distances respectively
from Masterton of about fourteen miles, thirty-one miles,
thirty-five miles, and forty miles.

The railway is now being constructed to a point about
seventeen miles north of Masterton.

The whole of the sections are covered with forest, the
principal trees being tawa, rimu, hinau, rata, and kahi-
katea; the undergrowth is, as a rule, heavy; the general
character of the soil is good, and in some places is of first-
class quality, the formation being limestone, clay, marl,
sandstone, &c.

The country is generally hilly and undulating, but there
are large flats as well as broken ground within the area; it
is well watered, and, as the climate is also very favourable,
the land should, when cleared and brought into cultivation,
prove well adapted for pastoral and, to some extent, agricul-
tural purposes.

Maps, schedules, and application forms can be obtained
at the Land Office, Wellington; at the Post Offices, Feather-
ston, Greytown, Masterton, Woodville, Palmerston North,
Foxton, and Wanganui; and at the various Crown Land
Offices throughout the colony.
