Excerpt from Vacation Tours in New Zealand and Tasmania

Auckland is a pretty little city, well situated at the extremity of the Hauraki Gulf, with a port on the' west side of the narrow isthmus, connecting the northern peninsula with the southern part of the province. This is called Onehunga, and communicates with the city by a railway, which has a. Bad reputation for speed; it is said, that if one is in a hurry he had better walk. From its Corinthian position, Auckland should be a. Busy mercantile place. At present it has somewhat declined, owing to the removal of the seat of government to Wellington. This is a sore grief, especially to the female portion of the inhabitants. At the time of our visit there was an unusual stir over the elections, as the battle of provincialism was raging. Like Gallio, we cared for none of these things, but turned aside to gaze on the quiet sylvan beauty of the English trees and hedgerows, growing as in a. Village in Hampshire - the magnificent scarlet-flowering myrtle, or ra then in full bloom, and gorgeous, almost dazzling, to look upon and English grass covering the slopes of the hills with emerald.
