BRADFORD FIFA:KILL.

IMPORTANT SAUL —On Tuesday last Mr. T. Ensor
sold the farm stock of the late Mr. J. A. Smith, the
noted farmer and breeder and agriculturist of Bradford
Peverell. The catalogue was extensive, and comprised
a valuable flock of Dorset Horn sheep and lambs,
numbering about a thousand, 20 cart horses and colts,
two pedigree Devon cows, and a large assortment of
implements, &c. The proceedings commenced with
the sale of implements, which realised satisfactory
prices. About 300 then partook of an excellent
luncheon, supplied by Mrs. Dunn, of the Junction
Hotel, Dorchester. Mr. H. Foote+, of Whitechurcls,
presided. The customary toasts were duly honoured,
and "The health of the Auctioneer" and "The
Chairman " were cordially drunk and suitably acknow-
ledged. The sale was then resumed, the sheep being
first submitted. The business was fairly active, not-
withstanding the universal depression p.evailing. Six.
tooth ewes fetched from 44.. to 50..; four•tooth, 4155.
to 52.. ; two-tooths (the best of the flock), from 454. to
506. ; chaser lambs, 245. to 325. An exceedingly good
lot of cart horses realised from 52gs. to Mg..; other
horses brought from 3.5g5. to 48ers. ; colts (two year),
from 34g5. to 400. ; yearlings, 22gs. to 26gs. The
attendance of horse buyers was singularly large, and
no doubt the good prices obtained were attributable to
the horses sold being the offapring of such noted sires
as Mr. Chick's " Noble, " Mr. Homer's " Ajax, " and
ther celebrated animals. The sale wise conducted
with Mr. Sneer's customary tact and promptitude,
and the result must have been very gratifying to the
late Mr. Smith's executors.
