THE WATERWORKS.
The Now Plymouth Waterworks are situated at Puketotara, on the banks of the Waiwakaiho River, about three miles eastward from the centre of the town, and are open to visitors. Mr A. Wray, the resident engineer, is always there, ready to show visitors over the works and explain everything in connection therewith. The water, which comes from Mount Egmont, is sufficient to supply a city of 500,000
devoted mostly to dairy pursuits, butter bsing the chief produce of the place. Bell Block is a thriving district from a farming standpoint, and one that it would bo hard to beat when everything is taken into consideration, as it is so near to tho town, by road or rail. Tho Roil beiDg of good quality, there is no difficulty in growing anything anywhere. Away to the eastward stand Sentry Hill, Manutahi, and other now historical battle-fields, where the brave but deluded Maori fought for what he considcied his rights and his religion.
