For over twenty years the leneely Ra- vine has been one of the prettiest spota in in the Colony-certainly the lurellest bit of scadery in the centro of the city. Thirty years ago it was little more than a jungle, through which ran a stream and a verrow footway To Mr J. M. Price and Mr Obas. Ford bulong the credit of turning this wild and neglected spot into A thing of beauty. During the terrio | rain-storm of 1889 the Olinealy Ravinem, both upper and lower sactions, were torn | to plecen, and for a dime presonted a spacta- ols of rain which is seldom met with. | Near Burnbrae (the present residence of the American Conrul-General) a chasm 12/1317
