XLVIII. NORMAN SELFE. 



Sydney has not the reputation of being a model city. It is 

 now believed that Government is about to take the control of the 

 city in its teeth, and that the present holders of the reins will 

 soon be r supplanted. Every well wisher of Sydney, who sees and 

 understands what magnificent latent possibilities there are before 

 her must hope that she will for all time be the Queen City of the 

 Southern Hemisphere ; and that the new century will open finding 

 old ways departed from, and a new and glorious era of progress, 

 prosperity, morality and cleanliness installed in our midst. When 

 that day arrives, we shall look back with curiosity and wonder 

 at the continued blindness and negligence from which our city — 

 so highly gifted by nature — had suffered so long.
