"The Empire Hotel." 'l'bis palatial hotel, recently built and re-constructed, may now be glassed as equal to any c-mbli-diinenl of its kind which the Southern Hemisphere can boa~t »f. The position of this buildim; may be said to be the' most valuable in point of situation and convenience which could be selected for private or public enterprise out of the whole of the Capital City of Xew Zealand. The "Empire" has frontages to two of the most important Mness streets of Wellington Cily- -Willis Street on the ono side and Victoria Street mi tin- oilier—and to each of these Streets it presents a hand'-nnie and imposing front. The area covered by the hotel represent.-, a length from street to street of 190 feet, and the fio':a;;es to Willis and Victoria Streets are 75 feet and 71 feet res] lively. By no possible Iliit'Uiiilion can such a site us that on whioh the Empire Hotel stands lie otherwise than materially enhanced in value in years to come. "The Bellevue Hotel and Gardens." . At the present time, a journey of thirty minutes by and ten minutes' walk from the Lower Hutt railway station brings the visitor to the gates of this Hotel and (iardens-a truly magnificent property of some sixteen acp ... with a frontage of about 1500 feet to the main WYiwetu Head, which is one of the principal thoroughfare? of the Hutt Valley. l'be Bellcvtic Gardens are unique in New Zealand, beiug as thoyare, the only private liolanical gardens on a large scale in the Colony, ,A-Oarriuf;c drive, shaded on cither side by line old trees, and fringed with graceful ferns, leads to lite hotel—a veritable old English manor bouse- standing in the midst of emerald green lawns, flower beds resplendent with gorgeous blooms of every shade and hue; shady arbors and quaint summer-houses over which trail swcct-sccnted roses, interesting avenues of rare trees and shrubs brought from every clinic. There are nearly all varieties of New Zealand trees in these grounds. The straightening of the Ilutt I'ailway has been agreed to by Parliament, and thw important public work has already begun. The improvement of the Hull ltoad is a work also to be put in band immediately. It is needless to say that the Bellevue Hotel and Gardens will immensely profit by these improvements. "The Mansions." One of the finest establishments of its kind south of the line is the handsome new boarding-house known as " The Mansions," situated in Gbuznee Street. The tine proportions of this building, as it towers in its »arb of white above those buildings which surround it, immediately arrets the attention in the panorama of Wellington City. The building, which is three storeys high, of brick and stucco, has it frontage of 47 feet li inches to (ihuznec Street, by a depth of 66 feet I) inches. The furnishing is of the most palatial character, as may he seen from the fact that it lias cost nearly 6-1,000. Financial Aspect. THE HMl'lllß HOTEL.
