HE GREAT SALE ON WEDNESDAY NEXT
The reader will find in to-day's Star full de-
scriphon OF the Ingleside estate to be sold on
Wednesday next by Mr.. McGuire, auctioneer
Nothing like 1t, in the way of prineely resi-
dence, near the Federal seat of Government,
was ever offered for sale. The house would
pass Tor palace In any country, while the
grounds surrounding it are naturally as pic
turesque and beautiful as any in the country.
Inc view ls unsurpassed, as one sees from it
down the river to Fort Washington, and all
washington, Georgetown and Alexandria. No
location could be healthier and its distance
from the centre of business here makes it but
suburban Such another opportunity for
gentleman OF taste and wealth to obtain a mag
nlhcent residence and estate, within mile of
Washington, may never occur
