HASTINGS AND NAPIER.
A healthy rivalry exists just now between the townships of Napier and Hastings. The former has for years claimed to be the commercial centre of the land of the "Twelve Apostles." So rapidly, however, has Hastings developed, and so enterprising have ibeen its people, that it is beginning to expand its civic chest and proclaim itself the only centre in Hawke's Bay upon which the commercial sun shines. Napier, at the best, can never be a city. It has not the room to expand. Hastings, on the other, hand, has all the potentialities of a great centre. In years to come, Napier will probably be a fashionable watering-place, whilst Hastings will be the city. This, at anyi-ate, is the fond dream of Hastings.
