Messrs W. B. Chennells aud Co. have been favoured with instructions by the Trustees to sell privately that splendid estate known as Willow Park, and now in the occpuation of Messrs J. and A. Welch. This fine property has been in the possession of the present owners for nearly half-a-century, and is only being placed on the market for the purpose of winding up the estate. This is an opportuuity seldom offered of acquiring a block of land second to none, in the district, and anyone in search of land suitable for a stud farm, fattening bullocks, etc. and for agricultural purposes could not go wrong by investing in Willow Park. Particulars are advertised in another column.

A GREAT OPPORTUNITY.
MESSRS W. B CHENNELLS & CO. have been favoured with instructions to sell privately that magnificent block of land now in the occupation of Messrs J. and A. Welch, Opaki, comprising 1060 Acres known as WILLOW PARK.
This well-known farm has been in the occupation of the family for nearly half-a-century, and as an agricultural and pastoral property cannot be surpassed in the district. The greater part of the estate has been under cultivation and has produced magnificent crops of wheat, oats, potatoes, turnips and rape; over 150 acres now being in crop. There is permanent water by streams which traverse the block; and a beautiful piece of about 40 acres of natural bush is in the centre of the property and provides shelter from every wind that blows. As showing tho quality of the land, the owners state that 180 ewes with their lambs have been running on a paddock of about 20 acres since lambing, aud still have plenty of grass.
For a STUD FARM and for fattening bullocks and sheep this is an ideal property and is well worth investing in. The nearest point is only 2 1/2 miles from Masterton, and is within a short distance of Opaki station and school.

HUTT RIVER BOARD.
MONTHLY MEETING.
...
OVERSEER''S REPORT.
The overseer (Mr. Fisher) made reference in his report to new work which had occupied attention. The boulder groyne near Welch''s land, Taita, had been completed to a length of 135 ft, instead of 70ft as originally specified. The total cost of this work was £71 18s 3d. The boulder groyne, about two chains above this work, put in by the Taita settlers, had been widened and made higher, at a cost of £16 6s 6d. As instructed, he had taken the necessary levels in connection with the proposed embankment on Parman''s land, at Taita Gorge. Those had been submitted to the engineer, who had approved them. Mr. Fisher recommended that the embankment be constructed on the site selected. With the board''s authority, he could proceed to determine the area and compute the quantity of material required for the work. Reporting on general Work, it was recommended that the noxious growth on the stop banks be cut and burnt.

Evening Post 5 September 1882
At a meeting of the members of the Taita Cricket Club, held on Saturday night, the Secretary read a report, from which it appeared that the club had a fair balance on hand to start the coming season. Out of 18 matches played during the past season the club had won 16. The club bat was won by W. Cudby, with an average of 13 1/2 runs (17 matches), W. Welch being second with an average of 11 1/2 runs (14 matches). Besides the bat given by the club for the highest average scorer, there are two bats to be given by private members — one for the highest individual score, and one for the best bowling. The following officers were elected: — President, Mr. W. Beetham; captain, W. Cudby; secretary, W. Brown; treasurer, G. Welch; committee, J. Judd, W. Welch, W. Russell, and J. Mahony (sic). A vote of thanks to Mr. W. Welch, for presiding, terminated the proceedings.

CRICKET.
WELCH FAMILY v. UPPER HUTT.
For the first time in the history of the Welch Family during their cricketing career, they suffered, a defeat at the hands of the Upper Hutt cricket team on Friday and Saturday. The Family was unfortunate in having to play minus Bert Welch, one of their best bowlers, who was away on business at the Coast, where he contracted influenza, and was unable to get in. They, however, put up a good performance, considering the strong combination they were up against, and hope to turn defeat into victory at their next meeting. The visitors arrived on Thursday night, and put up at the Empire Hotel. The ground was in splendid order, and the Welch Family were complimented on the fine wicket which they had provided. The old veteran, Will, better known as "Long Bill," who stands 6ft 3m in his stockings, and is approaching his three score years, was elected captain of the Family team. Maurice Welch, better known throughout the Hutt district as "Old Mot," accompanied the visitors up to play for kith and kin. The visitors had a strong batting team, and Young, Mabey and Pilcher each played sterling cricket, the former compiling 58 by vigorous play. He made no less than 46 in ten hits, including 3 sixers. For the Family, the young Collegian, Leo, played a very useful innings, being not out in the first day''s play with 45 to his credit. Captain Bill, who thought his cricketing days were over, soon got going, and was loudly cheered when he opened his shoulders as of yore and smote right and left, putting up 35 in a very short time before he was sent back to the pavilion. The Family''s first innings closed for 137, and the visitors put up the fine score of 202. Claude Welch was in fine form with the ball, and bowled throughout the innings, capturing 4 wickets for 51, and young Bern, aged 15, who was tried late, took 3 for 21, a fine performance for a junior. After play was finished the visitors continued their innings, and lost 8 wickets for 149. At one stage of the innings, Claude, who was keeping a splendid length, took 5 wickets in 7 balls for 1 run, clean bowling three with successive balls, winding up with 7 for 42. Befreshments were provided on the ground on Friday morning and afternoon, for which the Family was heartily thanked by the visitors'' veteran manager, Mr C. Edwards, familiarly called by "the boys" Uncle Charlie. The team were entertained at Mr F. P. Welch''s residence at Lansdowne on Friday evening, music and singing being indulged in, and an enjoyable time was spent. The visitors left for home by the mail train on Saturday, after what they all declared to be a "jolly good time."
