The title is perfect ; the streets as level as a table, needing no road resembling an Arohimedian screw whereby to approach them. The neighborhood bids well to become the Fifth Avenue of Wellington, as here, above any other locality in the City of Wellington, the rich, the wealthy, and the learned make their homes.
