"And life may run as pleasantly as Maitai's waters flow." These are the last lines of David McKee Wright's poem on Nelson, which is quoted by a contributor in an article on this beautiful New Zealand town. Nelson, a very old settlement, has traditions and an atmosphere of its own. Its variety of beauty and activity are illustrated above. No. 1 is a view of the city (for Nelson holds city rank) nestling in its valleys. The district is famous for its fruit. No. 2 shows an orchard in full bloom. Nelson is also famous for its secondary schools. In No. 3 the Girls' College is shown. No. 4 depicts the beauty of Queen's Gardens. In No. 5 the most ambitious project that Nelson has undertaken is illustrated. The new Cathedral, which is being built in the Gothic style, is shown rising among the trees, with the old Cathedral on the left.
