Hawke's Bay is the most prosperous part by far of the whole colony. True, that cash is somewhat scanty; and money hot' spent as freely as heretofore, yet the whole district is n’ive, active, and thriving. Moreover, the land, though somomortgaged, is not flooded—is not drowned with debt. Acres of land, too, that werp lookpd upon ag second class, are every year growing more and more grass, and are evidently fit to vault in the first class. Hawke’s Bay folk, too, have not squandered the'" money gambling in coal and gold mines ; neither have they lost money in sliam local industries.
