The grounds are beautifully laid out in flower beds, lawns, and shrubs, and the site, which is one of the finest m Auckland, commands a ™ view of the harbour and the Hauraki proceeds of the sale will be invested by the trustees of Miss Horton’s estate, their eventual destination being the Auckland Anglican CathedrTfUnd, should the terms of Miss Horton’s will m respect of the fund be fulfilled.
