A REMARKABLE BRIDGE. Some " considerable distance" south of Auckland and "quite a large number" of miles north of Wellington ttands a brid-e. It is entitled to ba called a remarkable bridge. It is on the direct road to, and only a short distance from, Jfi/owliereinpatikura. When it wai discovered by a party of Natives the leader of tha party exclaimed, " Homaikaraiki! " And, after many yeais, it is t-fcitl called by tho Nativis " Watapiti." Aud so it is a pity! No doubt a reason was given for its conslruction at the time, and the men who were iustrumentjl in devoting public monny to fuch works would look well gibbeted in chains on tbe same bridge, the enly drawback being that' no one would see them. The samo amount of money, nay, half that sum, invested in Vanity Fair Cigarettes would bring happiness and eojoymsnt to our adult male population. ..
