Hawkesbury Advocate, Friday, March 16, 1900 (page 5) Mr. J. Nicholls, of Freeman's Reach, is the possessor of a beautiful black colt, which he is preparing for the forthcoming Hawkesbury Show. The youngster, who at present looks quite a picture, is the progeny of St. Patrick (imp.), well-known in this district, and we believe, at one time the property of the late Mr. Andrew Town. Mr. Nicholls has named the colt St. Michael, and it was only last year that he sold Young Darnley, who is full brother to St. Michael, for 100 guineas. MARKETS The markets were uniformly quiet in all department this week. Owing to the small stocks on the wharfs maize was firm, and in good request. Potatoes were easier and in request up to £3 7s 6d for best sampler. Eggs were quiet owing to the high prices ruling. A small lot of choice new maize from the Windsor district found a buyer at 2s 8d per bushel.
