THE AUCTION SALE
AT HAYWOOD PARK

The auction sale of lots by the Car
olina Development Co. in the DR.. Chace
addition, afterwards namel Lynnwood
Park, has been only a partial success
Out of an almost unbroken season of
perfect weather, the auction day drew
rainy weather out of the weather
mans lottery box, and the sale was
postponed from yesterday morning
till the afternoon, when, although it
was very cloudy and damp, it was not
raining and fair sized crowd attend
ed.
Only about thirty lots were sold, be-
ginning with the first lot on the cor
ner of Oklawaha avenue and nearest
town, which went to Mr.. d. s.. Wood
row for $500, and from that they taper
ed off to 500 for lot way back near
the Moody residence, which stands at
the rear or eastern extremity of the
property
According to promise, the auction
GERS sold a lot minute but there
would usually be a few minutes be-
tween the sales. Every lot put up was
sold, and there was no discount on the
sales, each going to the highest bid
der and was bona fide sale.
At $3.50 the sale was called off and
announcement was made that it would
be resumed at 10 o'clock this morn
ing, but this morning the weather
conditions were even worse and it was
decided to postpone the sale for about
thirty days, when the Carolina De-
velopment Co. will return and put the
lots on the market again at auction.
The company's band discoursed good
music on the grounds and in town be-
fore the sale was started. Free car
riages were provided for those who
wished to go to the grounds, and a
great many people went out in their
own cars and buggies.
a number of one-do11ar bills were
given away to the lucky ones whose
names were drawn out of the hat
Mrs. S. S. DuvaL Mrs. Badger and
Mr. Ross, the latter from out of town.
tied for the ladies' watch, each of
them guessing that the first lot would
bring $500. There were two other
correct guesses but the people were
not on the ground at the close of the
sale.
The name suggested by Miss Alice
Bullock, "Lynnwood Park was chosen
as the most appropriate for the addi-
ton, and Miss Bullock was awarded
the beautiful silver tea service.
Some of the purchasers were Rev. i
B. Ley, w. K. Zewadski, Harvey Clark
]. E. Johnson. C. c. Bailey and ]. r.
Dewey.
The twin auctioneers were fine and
every one was anxious to see and hear
their work. They were not disap-
pointed and the auctioneers were uni
que and kept the crowd in good humor
All of the real estate men and those
interested in real estate in the city
were keenly disappointed that the
Carolina Development Co and DR.
Chace, the owner of the property, had
such a streak of bad luck in the
weather. The sale had been extensive
" advertised and well conducted. The
property is valuable one, we'll To-
Gated and beautifully situated. It has
been cleaned off as nice as a lawn and
| the streets opened and several of them
paved.
| Both the owners and the promoters
deserved a big sale and would Ger
| tainly have had a record breaker Il
/ the weather had been pleasant.
| The Star predicts that when tn,
Carolina Development Co. returns t.
Ocala to put on this sale again, tina
the public will have begun to appre
ciate the property and the sale viii
then be even more successful than i
would have been at this time, ever
| with good weather.
This is one of the really good prop
| critics that will bear the very fulles
investigation and one cannot see 1t blu
he or she becomes enthused and wish
es to own a lot there.
