The spacious yard, lately completed by Dr. Ashe, was a model of neatness and utility ; and the new Turkish bath for horses and dogs created much interest among those present.    The show of horses was excellent, and the desire to purchase was evinced by the quick knocking down of various animals. Amongst some of the principal lots sold was a harness mare, or charger, 28 guineas, to Mr. Herrick ; a brown mare, 37 guineas, to Mr. Brash ; a grey gelding, 13 guineas, to Mr. Litchfield ; a brown mare, 10 guineas, to Mr. Wakeham ; a neat chesnut pony, 9? guineas, to Mr. A. W. Lawe ; a chesnut horse, 5? guineas, to Mr. Reardon ; a drag, 17 guineas, to Mr. Wilkinson ; a brown horse, 6 guineas, to Mr. Hewson. Several other horses and ponies were then knocked down at fair prices, and altogether the auction was one of the most spirited and satisfactory character that has been held for the past year.    Mr. Marsh, sen., acted on the occasion with his usual tact, good humour and ability.    All the horses sold subject to opinion were afterwards professionally examined by Dr.
