Queer Auctions,
A Dutch auction at Ciqie Town Is
frequently exciting. If a house Is tc
be sold, the auctioneer offers “50 gold
en sovereigns for the man who first
bids £5,(100." Nobody bids. A pause,
and then "50 golden sovereigns for the
man who first bids £-1,900." This Is
kept up until a bid is secured. Hut it
by no means follows that the house is
sold to tills I hlder. No. the auctioneer
ts (hen at It again. Say Unit £1.-100 is
Hie first bid. The auctioneer cries,
“There are 25 golden sovereigns for
I ho first man who lias the courage to
bid £1.000." Perhaps no one has It. \$/
Then £25 is offered for a £1,550 Idd. 1’’.
