TRIESTE AND WELLINGTON
Sir,-I was interested in the article on Trieste which, it struck me, from the illustration given, bears a striking resemblance to Wellington. This is confirmed in a letter which I have now feceived from my son, who is a padre serving in the Middle East, and who writes from Trieste: "Trieste is really remarkably like Wellington in‘ layout. -When we first entered the city on May 3, we came down the toad from the Roseneath heights, and afong the beautiful motor road that surrounds Oriental Bay. Two and three-storied flats were squeezed in between the promenade and the hills. Even the baths and the boat-harbour were there, while 2YA on Mt. Victoria above
seemed to have grown bigger. In the town-larger than Wellington, but still a comparatively narrow strip between hills and sea-the wharves and railwayStation were just where I expected to find them, and lo and behold, even the cable-car running up to Kelburn!" —
