AX ALBURY VINEYARD. 



It is predicted, and with some confi- 

 dence, that Albury will at some time in the 

 future rank as a great city. The present 

 rate of progress favours the prophecy that 

 ere long the population, now about seven 

 thousand, will reach the five-figure standard. Both agricul- 

 turally and pastorally the district is eminently prosperous, 

 and the vine-growing industry can be largely expanded, 

 the latest departure in this direction being the successful 

 establishment of champagne-making at one of the principal vineyards. The sparkling 

 wines of Albury are sold mostly in London, where they command prices which bear 

 comparison with those obtained for the medium qualities imported from France.
