PONSONBY WHARF.
PROSPECT OF DISMANTLING. There ie a possibility of the Poneonby wharf, situated at the foot of Waitangi Road, being demolished. Recently it was recommended to the Harbour Board that this structure, together with the Birkdalo and Greenhithe wharves, should be dismantled, but the board has decided that the two latter wharves are to remain. The fate of the Poneonby structure, however, has not yet been definitely determined. } The Poneonby wharf has stood for many yeare, and many people will recall the ferry excursions that used to be made between the city and it on Sundays and holidays for the purpose of conveying crowds to Mason'e gardens and Shelly Beach. Daily trips also used to bo made by the ferriee, vessels that were associated with the service being the Victoria, City of Cork, Eagle and Osprey. To-day the wharf has fallen into disuse, although it provides a popular promenade on moonlit evenings, a fishing jetty for the youth of Ponsonby, and a place for yachtsmen to tie up.
