PORT ELIZABETH : Impet, Yickebs & Oo., Painters, MARKET-SQUABE. P H 3& 3? A C Xali

In editing the present volume I have tried to make it more useful than any of its predecessors. A variety of new matter is introduced, and the plan of the entire work remodelled. The tables for mercantile and general reference, from pages 25 to 26, will be handy ; information relative to the law courts is added, and the contents of the Stamp Act are classified. The last Wine and Spirit Act, with the tables of licences and stamps, is given. Under the heading of " Marino Department," the Admiralty hydrographical formula are adopted for all that .concerns the harbour and shipping management and business. The regulations for Cabs and other Public Conveyances are introduced. The Alphabetical and Street directories have been most amply in creased by Mr. Mason's additions to the names and residencies. In the arrangement of the divisions and divisional towns, their territorial, mercantile, or political importance, has given way to the alphabetical order, that they may be more readily referred to. The business directories have had special attention. The figures in each instance have been, taken from the 1875 census. In nearly every case the information has been derived from the most reliable source. The few errors, for the most part unimportant, which were over locked, have been corrected, and alterations since the earlier sheets went to press, have been made to bring public information up to the latest date. On behalf of the publisher, I have to thank the many gentlemen who have promptly supplied desired information, and with him express the hope that the present will be found in all respects not only the most complete, but the most acceptable Port Elizabeth Directory and Guide to the Eastern Province that has yet been published.

Orders for any of the above executed with dispatch. gardener's calendar. 3 JANUARY. Flower Garden.— In this department a constant supply of water is indispensable in dry weather. Dahlias especially require a plentiful supply. Roses may be layered and budded during the month; for the latter operation choose cloudy weather. Several of the flowering shrubs may now be propa gated by layers. Seeds of choice border flowers should be gathered as they ripen ; bulbs of all kinds should be taken up as the leaves decay, and stored in a dry, airy room or shed until next planting season. Clear away all decayed stems and leaves, and remove and destroy weeds as they appear. Keep the grass plots and edgings neatly cut and trimmed, to give a neat appearance to the whole. Kitchen Garden.— The main crop of cauliflower should be planted out this month in well-manured and moist soil. Succession crops of cauliflower, cabbage, knol-kohl, French beans, red beet, turnips, leeks, radishes, &c, may be sown ; late pumpkins and cucumbers should be freely supplied with water. Sweet melons as they ripen should not be watered, as the flavour of the fruit is injured by too much moisture. As the early crops of cucumbers will now be dying off, the ground should be well dag and planted with cauliflower, cab bage, red beet, lettuce and celery, as required. In this department great attention is required to the regular rotation of crop?, as this is of great importance, and should be regularly carried on. Nursery and Orchard.— Stone fruits may now be budded, such as peaches, nectarines, apricots, &o. ; the stocks should be previously watered, to cause the bark to rise freely, and choose cool and cloudy weather for the operation. Newly-planted trees, as also those grafted in the spring, should be freely supplied with water, and be carefully staked to prevent their being brcken by the wind. Apples and pears for future use should now be gathered and stored in a cool airy room. Vineyard. — In this department, as the grapes ripen, the vineyard should be well watohed, to prevent damage by birds, &c. Water should be withheld from the vines while the grapes are ripening, as too much water at this time is liable to impair the flavour of the fruit. A 2 4 CALENDAR.

BROKER, 38, MAIU-STBEET, POET ELIZABETH. gaedenee's calendar. 5 FEBEUAEY. Flower Garden The various plants in the beds and borders require constant watering in dry weather ; dahlias now in bloom require a copious supply. Fuchsias and geraniums, as they go out of bloom, should be gradually exposed to the full action of the sun, and the supply of water reduced, that the wood may ripen properly. Roses may still be budded and layered during the month. Chrysanthemums, as tbey advance in growth, should be potted and well supplied with manure water at least twice a week. Calceolarias, cinerarias, mimulus, &c , may be sown during the month. Cuttings of carnations, pentstemons, and petunias should be put in boxes or nursery beds, and shaded from the midday sun. Clear away all decayed annuals, and destroy weeds and insects as they appear. Kitchen Garden. — The early crops of cauliflower, cabbage, &c., should be frequently hced to destroy weeds and loosen the soil. Peas and beans may be sown during the month ; also succession crops of cauliflower, cabbage, knol-kohl, turnips, red-beet, lettuce, spinach, &c. Carrots and parsnips may be sown in well-trenched ground. The late crops of cucumbers, pumpkins, and squash will require a copious supply of water. Sweet melons about this time arrive at full growth, when water should be withheld from them, that the fruit may ripen with superior flavour. Attention should be directed to the saving of seed ; nothing but the very finest and best flavoured fruit should bo kept for that purpose . Nursery and Orchard. — Trees grafted in the spring should be attended to, the ligatures removed, and stakes applied where necessary. Fruit trees may still be budded, such as peaches, nectarines, aprioots, and other stone fruits. Oranges, nartjes, lemons, and all other fruits should be freely supplied with water, especially in dry situations. In applying water to fruit trees, especially the orange and lemon, be careful to keep the water two or three feet from the trunk of the trees, as many valuable trees are lost from their stems being continually surrounded with water. Vineyard.— Follow the same directions given last month, and nse the same precaution to preserve the grapes from the depre dations of birds, insects, &o. 6 CALENDAR.

Clear away all decayed annuals, and manure and dig the ground for a new plantation. Dahlias, now in full bloom, should be freely supplied with water. Chrysanthe mums also require a free supply; manure water twice a week should be regularly given. Roses may still be layered, and budded if required, and clear away all suckers from their roots. Fuchsias and pelargoniums may now be cut back, and cuttings of the latter struck in a cool shady place. Cape bulbs may now be planted out. j, Kitchen Garden.— A full crop of potatces should now bo planted in rich soil. Very little manure is wanted, as it is apt to give the tubers a rank, disagreeable taste. Cauliflower, cabbage, knol-kohl, and red beet should be planted, and attend to the watering of those planted last month, and loosen the ground betwixt the rows. Early peas should be sown, also cauliflower, cabbage, knol-kohl, red beet, carrot?, parsnips, onions, leeks, celery, lettuce, radish, and parsley, &c. Euro pean seed is to be preferred at this season. Prepare trenches for celery, which should be ready to plant out next month ; make trenches four feet wido and one foot in depth, lay a quantity of rotten manure at the bottom, which dig in to a reasonable depth, and give a copious supply of water, and earth up as required. Nursery and Orchard.— Examine newly-budded trees, and loosen the ligatures where necessary, and remove suckers as they appear. Apples and pears should be gathered as they rippen, and store away for future use. Keep the hedges trimmed and the drains clear, especially in low situation?, and destroy grass and othw weeds as they appear. Orange?, nartjes, and other fiuit trees should be freely supplied with water in dry weather. Vineyard.— The vineyard should be kept free of grass and other weeds, and turn all grasses, weed?, and cleanings, to destroy seeds and insects. CaLEHDAE.

Roses may still be budded and layered if required, and those previously layered freely supplied with water. Cineraries, pansies, mimulas, antirrhinums, petunias, &c., may still be sown, and hardy annuals, such as larkspurs, clarkias, goodetias, gilias, calliopsis, candytuft, and mignonette, &c. Geraniums and fuchsias may still be cut back as the wood ripens, and placed in a sheltered situation until they begin to grow. Water should be withheld from dahlias, to allow the tubers to ripen, and when the stems are decayed they should be taken up and stored iu a dry situation until next planting season. Kitchen Garden.— A full crop of potatces should now be planted as soon as possible ; succession crops of cauliflower, cabbage, savoy, red beet, carrots, and parsnips ; also peas, broad beans, radish, lettuce, spinach, mustard and cress, &c. Celery should now be planted out, and treated as recommended last month ; celery can hardly have too much water applied in the course of its cultivation. Onions may still be sown, and those already sown freely supplied with water, when they should be ready for planting out in Juno or beginning of July. Early Dutch and stone turnips may be sown this month. Keep the hce going among growing crops to loosen the soil and destroy weeds, and attend to watering in dry weather. Nursery and Orchard.— Fruit trees lately budded should be attended to, and the ligatures loosened where required. Water freely in dry weather to cause the sap to flow freely, and remove all suckers as they appear. Keep the fruit-bearing tress free from insects. Keep the hedges trimmed, and the drains clear and in readiness previous to the latter rains. Vineyard. — Vines should now be gone over after the fruit is gathered, and all superfluous stems cleared away, leaving only those intended for bearers until July or August. The whole strength of the stock will thus be diverted to the perfection of the wood, on which depends the future crop. 10 CALE1JDAR.

Ranunculus, anemones, hya cinths, narcissus, and gladiolus may still be planted, and Gape bulbs should be planted, if not already done. Fuschias and geraniums should nowbe cut back and re-potted as they advance in growth. Cuttings of carnations and pinks may be put in, also cuttings of roses and flowering shrubs in moist weather. Chrysanthemums in bloom should be freely supplied with water. Several kinds of annuals may still be sown, and repair and renew edgings where required. Kitchen Garden. — Succession crops of various culinary vege tables may be sown. European seed only should be sown at this season. Full crops of broad beans and early peas should be sown to succeed those sown last month. Vegetables intended for seed should now be planted out. Cauliflower and lettuce ripen their seed better without transplanting. This is a good season for making a plantation of strawberries. Trench the ground eighteen inches or two feet in depth, adding plenty of well rotted manure. Choose the young plants from the runners of the preceding season, and plant in rows eighteen inches apart and twelve or fifteen inches in the line. Celery may still be planted in trenches. All growing crops should be well loosened betwixt the rows and kept free from weeds, and earthed up where required. Nursery and Orchard. — This is the proper season for making plantations of oranges, lemons, nartjes, guavas, loquats, and other evergreen fruit trees. Trench the ground two feet deep for fruit trees, and avoid planting too deep in the soil— a practice too often adopted. Trees that have been mulched daring the summer months should now have that material taken away from their roots, where stocks for grafting on are required. Seeds of the various fruit trees should be sown as they are taken out of the fruit. Carefully mark each sort, so that there may be no mistake as to their character when the stocks are fit for grafting. With the exception of those that may be cultivated for special purposes, the closer affinity the stock bears to the scion the better. 12 CALENDAR.

Rosea may now be pruned, after which manure and well dig the ground. Cuttings may also be put in during the month, and fresh plantations made where necessary. Fuchsias and geraniums may still be struck for late flowering, and the old plants re-potted where necessary. Calceolarias and ciuerarias will now be considerably advanced in growth, and should be potted as required, and kept under glass at this season, with plenty of air and light. A second sowing of annuals and perennials may be made to fill any vacancies that may occur. Kitchen Garden. — Celery in trenches should be earthed up as it advances in growth. This is a favourable season to plant rhubarb. Seeds may also be sown in boxes for trans planting out in September. Succession crops of cauliflower, cabbage, carrots, beets, lettuce, radish and spinach, &c., may still be sown, using European seed only at this season. Potatces should be kept free from weeds, and earthed up as required. Broad beans and psas may be sown to keep up a succession. Early cucumbers may be sown in glass frames, placed on a hot bed of stable dung or leaves. Strawberries may still be planted out as recommended la3t month.

Keep the fruit trees free from insects, especially mealy bug or American blight; the application of petroleum pure and free from adulteration, with a brush over the leaves and stems wherever the insects are seen, will effeotually eradicate them. Vineyard.— Tbe early varieties of vines may be pruned, and the ground dug towards the end of .the month, but defer the general pruning till next month. Manure or not, accord ing to their state of growth the preceding season, and keep the drains clear to allow the surplus water to escape freely. 14 CALENDAR,

Keop the hedges and edgings neatly trimmed, to give the garden a neat appearance. Kitchen Garden — Succession crops of knol-kohl, red beet, and celery may be sown, also cauliflower for an early crop. French beans, mealies, pumpkins, melons and cucumbers may still be sown for a late crop. Those previously sown should be protected from strong winds, and well watered in dry weather. Onions for pickling may be sown this month ; these should not be thinned out nor watered unless the weather is very dry, as they are intended to produce small bulbs. Cucumbers for the same purpose may be sown. The short prickly are the best for pickling, and require less attention in leading. Potatoes may be planted in moist situations, or where there is a command of water for irrigation. All growing crops should be kept free from weeds, and receive a plentiful supply of water in dry weather. Nursery and Orchard. — Trees on which tho fruit is advanc ing to maturity would be benefited by a supply of water in dry weather where practicable. Newly - grafted trees should be secured to stakes, to prevent their being brcken by the wind. Stocks for budding should be encouraged in growth by a free application of water. Budding may be commenced this month, and choose damp or cloudy weather for the opera tion. All suckers should be removed as they appear. Keep the hedges trimmed, and the ground clear of grass and weeds of all kinds. Vineyard. — In the vineyard constant attention is necessary in stopping and removing all superfluous shoots. Where there is a supply of water at command, it may be led to the vines in dry weather till they arrive at full growth, when it must be withheld. Young vines should have an occasional supply of water in dry weather. CALENDAR.

WEIGHTS AND MEASUEES.

In accordance with Act 11 of 1858, the standard of weights and measures of extension and capacity is the same as the Imperial. Fao- eimilies, duly made and verified, are deposited at the Cape Boyal Observatory and with the Civil Commissioners throughout the oolony. These oonsist of multiples and sub-multiples of the pound weight, 50 lbs, 25 lbs, 15 lbs, 10 lbs, 5 lbs, 4 lbs, 3 lbs, 2 lbs, 1 lb, i lb, i lb, j lb, lb, lb, lb. A nd of the standards of measure and their sub- multiples : a bushel, a gallon, a half-gallon, a quart, a pint, a half -pint, a gill, a half gill; and a standard yard, with the divisions of its measure, in one foot, inch, half -inch, and quai.ter-inoh, marked thereon. The proportion generally made use of in comparing our obsolete Dutch with English weight was 92 lbs Dutch to 100 English. The true 30 WEIGHTS AND MEASURES. rate, however, ia cons dered to be 91,$j; lbs Dutch weight to 100 English avoirdupois. CORN MEASURE. 1 sohepel is equal to j^V old Winchester bushol, or imperial. 1 muid is 4 sonepels, or ?)|T „ „ „ 1 load is 10 muids, or „ „ „ Thus 107 Dutoh schepels are equal to 82 Winchester bushels, or 4 sohepels are about 3 imperial bushels, and 11 schepels are about 1 quarter.

LAND MEASURE. The ratio of the Cape land measure foot to the British Imperial foot was investigated by the Latid-measure Commissioners appointed by the Governor on 19th June, 1858, and it was ascertained that 1,000 Cape feet are equal to 1,033 British Imperial feet. Hence, since 12 Cape feet are equal to 1 Cape rood, 1 English mile is equal to nearly 425 944 Cape roods.

PORT ELIZABETH, Its Institutions, Trade and Population.

The visitor for the first time to Fort Elizabeth, is almost sure to be pleasingly disappointed by it, whether it is approaohed by steamer, by rail, or by road. The view from the anohorage does not reveal the better portion, the Hill, whereon a large township is rapidly growing. The business part is presented to the new comer as the liveliest in the Colony. The ware houses, offices, shops, and public buildings are mostly of a substantial, and, in many eases, of a costly description, and indicate the commercial predominance of the place over others on these shores. Sweeping along the seaboard and the skirt of the hills, from west to east, they vary in cbaraoter only with the requirements of their owners. From the boundaries of the Harbour Works on the western side to the business centre, the chief wool warehousing and hydraulic pressing is carried on. Some of the wool floors can store from four thousand to six thousand bales at a time. The chief difficulty at the sea-side is the landing and shipping cf goods, which have to be done on the beach by ooolie labour, until the works designed by Sir John Coode can be carried out. The passenger traffic is conducted at the pier, at the foot of Jetty-street, where, once landed, cabs are at hand to convey you to any part of the town. Standing at the foot of this street, you have the RAILVfAY STATION at your right hand. Within this building is the TELEOBAPH DEPARTMENT. Here you can either take the train by the Midland line to Uitenhage, or by the Northern-Eastern go to Sand Flats ; and by the time these sheets are in the hands of the reader, the 66 PORT ELIZABETH: ITS INSTITUTIONS, TRADE, &C. opening of considerable extensions on both railways, under the direction of the Chief Resident Engineer, Mr. Devonsher J. Scott, will be near at hand. A few paces above the station, on the same side of the street, are the offices of the UNION ROYAL MAIL STEAM-SHIP COMPANY. Facing this are the substantial, capacious and noble ware houses, steam wool pressing floors, engineer workshops and saw mills of MESSRS. BLAINE & CO. Here, too, is the agency of the DONALD CURRIE line of mail packets. Arrived at the head of Jetty-street, where it opens into Main-strcet, you see the lofty LONDON AND SOUTH AFRICAN BANK, and, standing at this corner, you are opposite the granite obelisk, in the centre of Market-equare and the TOWN HALL BUILDINGS. Around the base of the obelisk the Municipality are about to add works of utility and ornament, including drinking fountains. Entering the Town Hall we find the Library Booms on our left, in which there are upwards of nine thonsand volumes of bocks, together with Home and Colonial newspapers and magazines. The large Hall is most tastefully ornamented, and, including the galleries, it is capable of containing one thousand people. As a ooncert room it is considered very suitable. The Port Elizabeth and other Musical Societies have been able to render good music there with great advantage. THE ATHEN^tJM has a right to a portion of the building. The rooms of this Society are on the upper floor, and are lofty and spacious. THE MUNICIPAL OFFICES occupy a portion of the right wing. The Town Councillors meetings are held in the Council Chamber, upstairs. On the same floor as the Library and the Town Clerk's Office, is THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, an airy, quiet, and fairly lighted room. THE CUSTOM HOUSE, a handsome stone-faced building, at the top of Fleming- street, is olose by. In the rear of the Town Hall is the indis pensable Lock-up, also the Commissariat Yard (where all railway and publio works' stores are reserved) and the Produce Market. In the Square are the Post Office and the Police Court. Turning the corner by the London and South African PORT ELIZABETH : ITS INSTITUTIONS, TEADE, &0. 67 Bank, and continuing along Main-street, apart from the almost princely warehouses and offices of many of the merchants, the Standard Bank of British South Africa is a prominent orna ment to the borough. It is, without doubt, the finest banking building in the land. The principal room, lighted entirely from the roof, is sixty feet from floor to ceiling. Passing along to the North,end, through Queen-street, Princes- street, and Adderley-street (which are a continuation only of Main- street), we notice a well-built, gloomy-locking, stone structure, the Town Prison. Before reaching this place the Gas Works are noticeable, near the railway and the Goods Station for railway accommodation. THE HILL part of Port Elizabeth is as English and home-like in appear ance as one can desire, with the exception of a paucity of trees. A walk up Bird-street or Western-road would lead one to imagine himself not far from some favourite suburban part of London. education. Here are the principal educational places. The Grey Institute —named after its founder, His Excellency Sir George Grey — is a plain building, with a handsome, newly- added tower, in which is a four-faced clock, chiming the quarters. The premises bare been just inclosed by one of the most tasteful of iron ornamental railings, at considerable cost. In the rear is the Rector's house, which has been built at a cost of nearly £2,000. The Ladies' Collegiate School, in the Western-road, is at present held in a small building, but arrangements have been made to raise an establishment worthy of the object for which it is required. The Convent School premises are among the first in the place —ample, open, dry, and airy. They cover a large area. THE CHURCHES are among the first ornaments of Port Elizabeth. St. Augus tine's (Roman Catholic), St. Paul's at the North,end, Holy Trinity, the new Wesleyan Church in Russell-road, and the Scotch Presbyterian, all built of stone, are in the best taste and correct order of ecclesiastical architecture. St. Mary's, the old " parish ohurch," and the Baptist Church in Queen- street, are of the old order of square tower and plain body, familiar to many a lover of rural recollections iu the Old Country. Besides these there are several minor Churches and Chapels for the accommodation of the different congregations, both white and coloured, all of whioh arc well attended. THE MOHAMMEDANS have two small mosques and pioturesque minarets in Strand 68 FORT ELIZABETH : ITS INSTITUTION'S, TRADE, &C. street, but we do not often hear the voice of Mohamet's followers upon it. High up the Hill, between Bird-street and Western- road, a proper Synagogue is being built, that the Jews resident in and frequenting the town, may have a better place than the present ex-grammar school in whioh to meet for prayer and worship, THE PARKS. For recreation there are two parks. The Park Garden on the Hill is worthy of a visit several times a-week, while the Prince Alfred's Park, at the North-end, is one of the most attractive to one who loves the shady rest, the blithe oarol of birds, and the sweet perfume of rustic nocks. THE LIGHT-HOUSE near the Grey Institute on the Hill, is to enable vessels to anchor in the Bay at night. By this station the shipping oan make their wants known, or communicate with their agents, during stormy weather, when landing is impossible. An ornamental cottage for the keeper adjoins, and forms together with the Donhin Obelisk, a very distinctive group on the summit of the Hill. The Obelisk was erected in 1820 by Sir Butane Shaw Donkin in memory of his wife, Lady Eliza beth, who had previously died in India. It is stated that " the town below " is named after this estimable lady. At the Hill Light-house a time-ball falls each day at 1 p.m. Cape Town time; 1.33p.m. Port Elizabeth time. A pluviometer and other instruments enable the lightkeeper to make meteorological observations. By means of the telegraph wire, which conneots this station with the Recife Lighthouse, vessels are reported from the westward long before they get round to the anchorage. THE PROVINCIAL HOSPITAL is an institution in every way commendable. It is admirably situated on a most healthy site, from which a fine view of the bay and shipping can be obtained. The institution is sup ported by Parliamentary grants, a land endowment, and private subscriptions. More than one thousand sick are treated annually. It has a good staff of medioal men. CARRIER COMPANIES now relieve parties of goods' conveyance from and to the stations, and forward to the country ; these are now estab lished at the several termini of the lines of railway. HOTEL ACCOMMODATION is abundant, but not sufficient for the wants of the town and the constant stream of strangers passing in and oat of Port Elizabeth. POET ELIZABETH : ITS INSTITUTIONS, TRADE, &C. 69 CABS AND OMNIBUSES ply all day at fixed tariffs. POSTAL deliveries all over the town take place several times a day. A penny post is established all along the lines of railway from and to Port Elizabeth. On Tuesday and Friday two NEWSPAPERS, the Eastern Province Herald and the Port Elitabeth Telegraph, appear. A free sheet is issued on Wednesday and Saturday, and the Observer on Thursday. The Oood Templar, a maga zine, is issued at the beginning of each month. THE DIAMOND FIELDS, FREE STATE, AND TRANSVAAL. Coaches leave every Tuesday for Kimberley, via Graham's Town, punctually at 6 a.m., and as this is the only reliable route, it is the one most encouraged. By this line the Free State and the Transvaal are best reached, their Honours Pre sident Brand and President Burgers both taking this as the most direct and certain road to Blcemfontein and Pretoria. Travellers from here reach Kimberley on the sixth day, and have the advantage of sleeping in a bed every night, as the coaches stop on the way for that purpose. Postal com munication is also had with the Fields three times a week, and telegraphic daily. THE MAIL STEAMEES, now leave England and Port Elizabeth every Friday. Com: munication with both places, either personally or by letter, can now be had within twenty-five days from the date of departure. THE TEADE AND POPULATION. Owing to the continuous draft npon the population of Port Elizabeth, to increase the villages and townships up conntry, where business can be doDe, the census returns for 1875 do not show anything like development of numbers. It is owing mainly to the enterprise cf this commercial heart of the colony that the Eastern, South-Eastern, and Northern Districts are continuously fed with the boms and sinews of industry. Its intelligence and capital create year after year new centres of trade, add to the list of villages and township?, and cause not only enlarged wants, but quicken the need and the supply of exports. The Division of Port Elizabeth, with the exception of Stockenstrom, which is 240 square miles in area, is the smallest of all the fiscal and electoral divisions, so severely has it been pared down by different political processes. 70 PORT ELIZABETH! ITS INSTITUTIONS, TRADE, &C. According to the last census there were 603 edifices unin habited and building, with 2,116 houses and 353 tenta within this area of 251 square miles. The average of persons to the square mile was 57 88. There were ma!es 8,320, females 6,208, or a total of 14,628. Of these 9,309 were white, or European, 945 Hottentots, and all others, 4,274. There were 6,395 Europeans who could read and write, 409 who could read only, and 2,505 who could do neither. The coloured who could read and write were 939, read only 433, neither read nor write 3,847. The extent of cultivated land was 3,985 morgen, 450 roods ; for wheat 55 morgen 300 roods, whioh yielded 360} bushels ; for barley 40 morgen 150 roods, yielding 1,733 bushels ; for rye 7 morgen, producing 150 bushels; oats, 3,785 morgen, giving only 6 bushels of oats, but 13,745 lbs of oathay ; for maize and millet 16 morgen 150 roods, yielding only 20 bushels. Although it is neither an agricultural nor a manufacturing town or division, and is, superficially, almost the smallest, it is the largest of all in its commercial importance and progress. With a rural population of only 1,476 souls, and a town com munity of 12,974, it far exceeds every other in the value of its imports and exports, which have vastly increased of late years, as will be seen on reference to the tables which are given in another part of this volume. The facilities for trade are being rapidly advanced. Railway communication is being extended in several directions. The telegraph wires have been carried over many miles of country since 1875. The postal service, both inland and for ocean mails, has been made more frequent ; and under the personal directions of Sir John Coode himself the harbour works have been begun in such a form as give promise of that substantial improvement which his son- in-law, Mr. Wm. Shield, the Resident Engineer, is prepared to make, with the aid of a board of practical encouragers (such as we have in the new Commissioners) and the oo operation of an efficient staff'. With protection for the shipping, a cleared anchorage, and a possible dock under the shadow of Fort Frederick, and within the protection of the contem plated breakwater, the harbour, which a naval writer a quarter of a century ago described as better than the Bay of Palermo, ' and preferable to Table Bay for six months in the year, will become one of the most important of England's distant stations, and of the first consequence to the trade, peace, and prosperity of South Africa. 71

MARINE DEPARTMENT.

The management of the maritime business of Fort Elizabeth, the construction and preservation of the works for the safety and comfort of the shipping, is placed nnder the control of a body of Commissioners, nominated by Government, and sundry ei-officio members from the Public Service, invested with authority by several Acts of Parliament and the Board of Trade, White-hall. The Commissioners meet every Tuesday, at 4 p.m. The office is in the Custom-house buildings, corner of Fleming-street. THE HARBOUR BOARD. M. Jennings, Esq., Sub-Collector, Chairman. A. C.

72 CAPE RECIFE. — REEFS. — APPROACH AT NIGHT. higher than the lighthouse) is often plainly seen some time before the latter is made oat. In approaching the land from the S., Cape St. Francis has been mistaken for Cape Recife, but they may be distinguished by the hummock abovementioned, which shows from a great dis tance as the termination of the coast line in that direction, and by a remarkable strip of bare white sand of con siderable extent, immediately to the W. of the hummock, extending horizontally, and showing as a beach. They may also be distinguished by the bearing of the Cocks comb Mountain, which bears about N.E. J N. from Cape St. Francis, but N.N.W. i W. from Cape Recife. The lighthouse is a stone tower, painted with alternate horizontal white and red bands. It exhibits from sunset to sunrise throughout the year a white light, revolving once in a minute; and, being 90 feet above the sea,level, is visible from seaward in clear weather about 15 miles, when it bears between £ and S.W. J S., that is including 20£ points of the horizon; but within the bay, between the bearings of S.W. J S and S. by W. it shows red, to warn ships of too near an approach to the Dispatch or Roman Rock. Tliunderbolt Beef.— This dangerous detached reef lies abont f of a mile S.W. by S. of the pitch of the cape, and the sea very generally breaks heavily upon the jagged rooka of which it is composed, which are often plainly seen ; bat at high water, and in fine weather, this may not occur. There is a decided indraught towards this reef and the pitch of the cape, and no sailing vessels should attempt to approach either (except with a commanding breeze) within the distance of two or two and a half miles. It has received its name from Her Majesty's steamer Thunderbolt, which struck upon its N.E. edge in attempting to go between it and the cape in fine and clear weather, and with diffi culty reached the beaoh of Port Elizabeth, where she sank, and her wreck still remains. The soundings about the cape and the reef decrease very suddenly from , ten fathoms, and if there be any doubt as to the exact distance off shore, a steamer ehould slacken speed, so as to obtain accurate soundings in rounding the cape, and not go into less than twelve fathoms, by night or day. At Night. — In coming from „the westward no vessel should make the light bearing to the southward of E. ; but should she from any cause have fallen to the northward, she must before arriving within five miles of the light, haul out till it bears east, when an E.S.E. course may be steered till the light bears N. by W., then E.N.E. till it bears N.W,, INDRAUGHT. — MAKES ROMAN ROCK. — PASSAGE. 73 after which the course may be altered to N.N.E , taking care not to bring the light to the southward of the S.W. until the harbour light be opened. Until the Cape Recife light is brought on a N.W. bearing a depth of not less than 12 fathoms should be maintained, and the vessel should go sufficiently slow for this purpose, and by keeping outside the edge of the red ray of Cape Recife Light house (in passing the space between the Cape and Bird Rock) which shows an orange tinge as the outer part of the sector of red light is first approached, until the harbour light or the hill is clearly made out (either red or white), a vessel cannot touch the Roman, or the outlying reefs, and may then steer direct for the anchorage. Indraught off Cape Recife.— A strong indraught will often be felt after passing Cape Recife and the Thunderbolt Rock, and allowance must be made for it in shaping the course either inside or outside the Dispatch Rock, particularly for the former, as foul ground stretches out a long way off shore, between the Cape Recife beacon and Beacon Point, and it has occurred that sailing vessels, by not allowing for indraught, have got on shore.

When on the shoalest part the Cape Recife beacon is one with the centre of the light house, and the two beacons abreast of the rock are in one. The red buoy formerly moored near this rock having been washed away, and the beacons on shore furnishing a sufficient guide, it has not been thought advisable to renew the buoy. After rounding Cape Recife at the distance and with the precautions as to depth abovementioned, the Cape Recife beaoon will be first seen (if it has not been made out before), and shortly afterwards the two beacons ; these lie W. 2°, S. and E. 2° N., T6

This red light was first shown on the 1st May, 1873, and the old lighthouse has since been removed. The latitude and longitude of the lighthouse are 33° 50m. 26s. S. 26° 17m. 13s. B. The light tower is square and turreted, of a stone colour, and showing a large ornamented oross on its N. and S. faces, but only a circular aperture in the centre of the tower on its E. and W. sides. The red light, which is 80 feet above the mean sea level, is visible all round the horizon, and can be seen from a ship's deck of 15 feet at a distance of 14} sea miles in ordinary weather. The site of the new tower is so near to the old building as to produce no appreciable difference in the bearing and distance already given. The new building, being larger and higher than the old one, will be more conspiouous in daylight than heretofore. Canton — Ships passing inside the islands during the night, particularly steam vessels, are recommended to keep nearer to the mainland than to the group, as the land is higher and more readily discerned, and the constant roar of the surf more distinctly heard than the breakers on the rocky reefs of the group. The lead will always indicate a too near approaoh to the main shore, and 11 to 12 fathoms is a safe depth in passing, but a wider berth must be given in rounding Point Padrone, off which shallow ground extends for a mile. In passing outside of the group, no vessel should approach within 3 miles of the lighthouse, as no advantage is gained by it, and the currents, though not generally strong, are uncertain and irregular both in velocity and direction in the vioinity of the duster of islands and reefs.

The two former are awash, and the latter has 2} fathoms over it, but the sea is seldom so smooth as not to break upon it. West Book lies with Bird Island light house B. t S.B. 1£ miles. From the Doddington the lighthouse bears N.B. f B. nearly li miles, and from the 80 CAUTION. — ANCHORAGE. — LANDING. East Reef N.N.B. J E. H miles. Close round the West and Doddington Rocks the depths are 10 to 12 fathoms, but the East Reef is far more dangerous, having but 2i and 3 fathoms water upon it, added to which, it covers a space of 300 to 400 yards. Between these rocks and the islands the soundings are very irregular, between 5} to 10 fathoms. During heavy weather, a tremendous sea rolls over the whole of this space, producing a surf truly terrific, the sea breaking in 8 and 10 fathoms water all round the group to seaward. Caution is neeessary to give the Bird Island dangers a wide berth in passing, for, should a vessel get amongst them, she might run into certain destruction while trying to avoid a seeming danger, since it is difficult to distinguish between the sea that breaks in 10 fathoms and that which rolls over the reefs ; and nothing of human build could hold together half an hour on any part of the cluster during the gale. Altogether, this is one of tlie most dangerous parts of the coast, especially to a stranger. Anchorage.— The Bird Island group affords anchorage on the northern side, but the holding ground is not good, and the bottom is uneven. The beat anchorage is with the light" house in line with the North Patch, in 8 to 10 fathoms water. With S.E. winds, the lighthouse in line with the boat passage between Stag and Seal Islands, in 10 or 11 fathoms, is a very good spot for shelter, but should the wind come strongly from the westward, it will be found necessary to shift berth to the east, anchoring with the black rocks about in line with Stag Island, or a little open on either side of it, in from 8 ot 10 fathoms. Prom this latter position H.M.S. Geyser drove to sea in a heavy W.SW. gale, which shows the holding ground to be bad, as she had 75 fathoms of cable out at the time. Landing. — Vessels that load here with guano usually anchor in the last position, as it is more convenient for their boats to come off with cargo. It frequently happens that there is no landing, the rollers setting in during calm weather as well as in a gale. After these having subsided, care is necessary in landing, as the sea sometimes breaks heavily and unexpectedly right across the entrance to tho epace between the islands. The boat must be kept well to the eastward, clear of the shoal of the E. end of Stag Island. The lighthouse in line with the first or western rock that shows on tho white guano patch at the E. end of Bird Islands is the best line to pull in upon, as it leads between the breakers on the spit and^ those off the end of Bird Islands. TIDES, &C. WINTER PASSAGE ROUND THE CAPE. 81 Tide$ and Currents. — In the vicinity of Bird Islands no regular tidal stream is found, but a regular rise occurs. It is high water, full and change, at 3k. 15m., with a rise of biz feet. This was observed at the Bird Islands in December, 1856. At the anchorage to the northward of the group the current sets in general to the eastward, and at one time, during a strong westerly gale, it ran E. at the rate of 1J knots an hour. It was, however, upon two other occasions of westerly gales, found setting to windward. It is very seldom that anything drifts on the islands, whioh is singular, especially aa Woody Cape, is covered with drift wood and fragments of wreck. F. SKEAD, Navigating Lieutenant, R.N., Harbour Master.

Orservations on the Winter Passage Round the Oaph ry Homeward-bound Ships from the East. By Lieut. F. Shead, B.N., Harbour Master. Horsburgh in the East India Directory,* and other authori ties, recommend homeward-bound East India ships to round Cape St. Mary, the S. extreme of the island of Madagascar, at the distance of 25 to 30 leagues, and then to steer W. for the African continent in the vicinity of Algoa Bay — (the object of this is to secure the full effect of the Mozambique and Agulhas current, which sets generally to the W.S.W. and W.) —and, having made the land, to keep pretty near to it, in order that N.W. gales, which blow with great violence in the winter months, may not drive them so far to the southward as to lose its influence altogether. From Algoa Bay to Cape L' Agulhas the trend or direction of the coast is W.N.W. mag. netie, and from Cape L' Agulhas to Cape Point is N.W. i N. As this is the direction of the gales which blow with great violence in the winter months, causing a heavy and a dangeroua Bea by being opposed to Mozambique current, ship-masters find it very difficult at times to make this passage, and fre quently receive so much injury to their ships as to compel them to seek for safety in some adjacent bay, or to abandon them altogether. Several instances of ships foundering are on record, and many others have doubtless met the same fate, leaving no intimation of the disaster save their absence, and the debris of wreck and Indian goods which have been thrown on the shore. * Horsburgh, vol. 2, edition vi., page 829-839. 82 WINTER PASSAGE BOUND THE CAPE. From a very imperfect knowledge of bays along the coast from the Cape of Good Hope to Algoa Bay, and the shelter they afford in these N.W. gales (notwithstanding the recent surveys carried out by the Admiralty and the sailing instruc tions which have been published at a trifling cost to the pur chasers), many Bhip- masters have avoided, rather than sought, the friendly shelter of these bays, and from a mistaken notion that they are unsafe. Nothing can be further from the fact, and many ships have been abandoned which might have been saved had they known the shelter that could be obtained, as well as repairs effected, in Algoa Bay.* Currents. — With regard to the currents on the coast, it may be remarked that the influence of the Mozambique and L'Agulhas current ceases in its regular W.S.W. direction and force, when Algoa Bay is passed, for the land, taking a trend of about 30° to the northward, causes a oounter-current to the eastward at the distance of 10 to 15 miles from the shore ; and it has been observed, particularly between Cape Seal and Recife, that, after and during westerly and north-westerly gales, the ordinary W.S.W. current is deflected from its course and turned directly towards the land, producing a very dangerous element in navigation, if unattended to and not allowed for. From this cause many vessels have been wrecked near Cape St. Francis (near to whioh, upon Cape Seal, a light house is shortly to be erected), and many lives as well as much property sacrificed from this current alone.f The same may be said with regard to the current about Struy's Point, where it generally sets north into Struy's Bay after S.E. gales, and this with the defective L'Agulhas light will probably account for the great number of wrecks that have taken place between Cape L'Agulhas and De Hoop Point J

* Some of the ships abandoned :— Stalwart, Agincourt, and Alfred,in 1866, off East London ; Runnymede, in 1865, off Cape Seal. N.B.— The Krimpererwaard was brought in by the Celt, steamer, just as the captain was abont to abandon her off Cape St. Francis, not knowing that Algoa Bay afforded shelter ; and the same ignorance prevailed on board most of the ships that sought shelter from N.W. gales after being damaged in 1866. The Alida, a German barque, was lately (1871) brought in by the B.M.S. Cambrian, picked up off Chelsea Point. She had lost her rudder, and had drifted to the eastward from off Plettenberg's Bay. In 1870, ten large ships, of an aggregate tonnage of 11,000, sought and found shelter in this bay after being disabled by N.W. gales in the winter months ; they had suffered serious injury, oniefly brcken rudders. They were all repaired (except three condemned as unseaworthy) and proceeded on their royages. f Some of the ships supposed to be lost from this cause : — L'Aigle (French), 1850; Queen of the West, 1850; Orindley, abandoned; Hope, steamer; L'Auguste (Frenoh); Swallow, schooner (iron) ; Prince of the *r -

WINTER PASSAGE BOUND THE CAPE. 83 In referring to the different places of shelter, Tarle Bat is first considered, from its importance to shipping, with its docks, harbour works, and facilities for repair. Tbe chief difficulty to ships in making the winter passages homewards is in rounding Cape L'Agulhas, and vessels meeting with serious mishaps between this and Cape Point have LITTLE IP ANY PROSPECT OP REACHING TABLE BAY TO befit, Algda Bat is therefore the port. After heavy gales have subsided, a mountainous W. or W S.W. swell is experienced to the west of the Cape Peninsula, which dces not abate for several days, and this, with the light winds which usually follow, render attempts to reach Table Bay a very hopeless task. Muoh more difficult, therefore, are all efforts to reach the Bay if disabled to the eastward of L'Agulhas, and it eannot, in consequence, with all its advantages of docks, break water, and patent slip, be considered a harbour of refuge for dis tressed ships in rounding the Cape during the winter months. Algoa Bat. — This Bay, from its geographical position, together with its facilities for repairing disabled ships and enabling them to proceed on their voyage, is without doubt the natural harbour of refuge for homeward-bound ships in the winter season. It merely requires a patent slip — and the bay at the Fishery affords shelter, with a very little outlay for such a work — to raise this port to the elevation its importance demands. It is to the advantage of the shipping interests generally, and to this portion of the mercantile world in parti cular, that this work should be undertaken ; and as this would make the port better known in the East, it would, without doubt, be the place of resort of most of the distressed ships for shelter and repair. A ship disabled off Cape L'Agulhas would find an easier and safer harbour of refuge by running back 300 miles to Algoa Bay than by trying for Simon's Bay, which is 100, or for Table Bay, which is 130 miles to windward* Algoa Bay can be entered and shelter found, even in heavy weather, in the outer part of the bay, in from fifteen to twenty fathoms of water, and very excellent shelter for two or three vessels is afforded by the Island of St. Croix until the weather has moderated and the harbour can be reached. As the pre- Seas ; Runnymede ; H.M.'s steamer Osprey, 1857 ; Bosphorus, steamer, 18*57 ; Jason, 1869 (got off). I N.B. — Borderer, 1,000 tons, struck on a rock six miles — as reported, but only two in faot— off Stray's Point in January, 1869, and almost immediately went down in deep water ; Hecuba, off Strny's Point in 1870, and foundered; Queen of the Thames, off De Hoop Point, 1871; and the Amersham, off Stray's Point, in 1869. Altogether there have been upwards of 30 shipwrecks in the vioinity of Cape L'Agulhas and Stray's Point since 1851. 84 INSTRUCTIONS FOR MASTER MARINERS. sent harbour works — under the shelter of which ships could be hove down and repaired — have proved a failure, it becomes still more a necessity that the slip should be undertaken, if Algoa Bay is ever to become the harbour of refuge which nature has designed it to be. Many vessels have been disabled between Port Natal and Port Elizabeth, and some have sought shelter in the former place ; but the strong W.S.W. current which runs during westerly gales as far as Port Elizabeth (frequently as much as 80 to 90 miles in 24 hours in the teeth of the gale) renders Port Elizabeth far easier of attainment than Table and Simon's Bays are to vessels to leeward of those ports, where no favourable current of any serviceable strength is found; and as the land is approached to the west of L'Agulhas, the ourront is frequently found setting to the east ward. Everything, therefore, oombiues to point to Algoa Bay as the refuge harbour for the south and east coasts of Afrioa. Nature has done everything necessary for it in this respect, and it remains for art to make it available for repairs to ships that seek its friendly shelter when disabled or in distress. Disabled ships put into Algoa Bay in the winter of 1870 :— May Queen, 1,054 tons, rudder gone, supplied with a new one ; Burmah, 1,174 tons, rudder gone, supplied and caulked ; Houghton Tower, 1,600 tons, mizenmast gone, supplied with new one, and caulked all over ; Arabia, 1,155 tons, rudder gone, and rudder trunk, mainsail, all replaced with now ones ; Esta- fette, 444 tons, rudder gone, condemned ; Leucothea, 1,180 tons, main topsail yard and all bulwarks gone, with boats, all replaeed and caulked ; Trent, 767 tons, rudder gone, condemned ; Alma, 500 tons, rudder gone, deck, mast, sails, and bulwarks washed away, condemned ; Bulwark, 1,332 tons, rudder gone, supplied with new one ; Lena, 1,001 tons, rudder, bulwarks, and hatches gone, supplied with new ones ; Manfred, 595 tons, sails, &o., supplied. Total— 11 ships, 10,862 tons.

Instructions for Master Mariners. The following official instructions must be oarefully ob served by all masters visiting this port : — 1. In the case of vessels about to discharge or receive on board any considerable quantity of cargo, a convenient berth will be pointed out by the Harbour-master, as close to the landing place as the safety of the vessel and other circumstances will admit. The vessel must then be moored with two bower anchors, with an open hawse to the S.E., and special oare taken not to overlay the anchors of other vessels, or in any way to give them a foul berth. Bat all vessels not provided with anchors and cables according to Lloyd's scale of tonnage INSTRTTCTIONS FOR MASTEB MAEINEES. 85 are to be anchored to the northward of the other vessels until bo provided. 2. In the case of vessels touching for water and refreshments, they may ride at single anchor, but they must then anchor well to the northward, so as to prevent danger (in case of drifting) to the vessels moored ; and it is particularly recommended, when riding at anchor, to veer out 70 or 80 fathoms of chain ; the other bower cables should be ranged, and the anchor kept in perfect readiness to let go. 3. Strict attention must be paid to keep a clear hawse (when moored), the more so when it is probable the wind may blow from the S E. ; and whether at single anchor or moored, the sheet anchor should be ready for immediate use. The situa tion of the vessel must be taken by landmarks and the depth of water ; and should any accident occur by which she may drift from such situation, or lose her anchor, the same must be notified in writing to the Harbour-master. 4. It is recommended that vessele be kept as snug as possible, especially such as have to remain some time in the anchoiage, for the periodical winds blow occasionally with much violeuce. Top- gallant masts and yards should be sent on deck, but top sails, courses, &c, should be kept bent and reefed, until the vessel has become so much lightened as to leave her no chance of working out in case of parting, when they should be unbent and repaired, if necessary, and bent again as soon as there is sufficient cargo on board to render the vessel manageable under sail. 5. A pier has been constructed a little to the northward of the Port Elizabeth Boating Company's jetty, and, to prevent its being injured by vessels driving foul of it in Sonth-East gales, it is ordered that no sailing ship shall anchor to the southward of a line drawn from the harbour light-house, through the new jetty end, bearing W. $ S. by compass. If from any causa a ship should anchor S. of these lines she must shift her berth in accordance with these instructions as soon afterwards as circumstances will permit. A green light is shown at the end of this jetty as a guide to boats landing at night. N.B. — Masters of vessels are especially warned of the danger of housing top-gallant masts, instead of sending them on deck, a practice which recent disastrous wrecks have shown to be very likely to endanger vessels, by precluding the possi bility of the topsails being hoisted to enable them to beat out, 6. All vessels lying in this port must show a light at night, as prescribed in articles 2 and 7 of the Board of Trade's Regulations for preventing collisions at sea. 7. When it becomes necessary for vessels to veer cables in a 86 INSTRUCTIONS TOR MASTER MARINERS. strong breeze, they must always heave in again to their original scope, immediately on the return of moderate weather. 8. All signals made from the Fort Office must be answered from the shipping, and strictly obeyed, and any vessel disre garding them will be reported to Lloyd's, as also to the owners. 9. In case of a vessel parting from her anchors, and being unable to work out, it is recommended to run her for the sandy beach to the northward of the town, directly in front of the gas-house, at the North-end of the sea-wall, on the chimney of which, at 45 feet about the sea, a powerful gas light is shown during S E. gales, as a guide to vessels that part from their anchors during the night, keeping the head- sails set even after striking, for the purpose of assisting in grounding the vessel firmly. No person should attempt to quit the vessel after she has taken the beach until the life boat arrives alongside, or a communication is established with the shore by means of Manby's apparatus, or otherwise. 10. On all occasions where it may be considered unsafe to land, a ball will be hoisted at the yard-arm of the Port Office flagstaff, and it is recommended that ships' boats should never attempt it. A Bed Ball is shown at the New Pier end when it is dangerous for ships' boats to land. Vessels having Marryatt's Code of Signals, or the Inter national Code, can make their wishes known to their agents, in blowing weather, through the Port Office. Vessels not having the code can make the following signals with their ensigns :— l8< En^nnnttU JWe U^in want of a cable. rigging J 2nd Ensign in the main top- )Iamin want of an anohor. mast rigging J 3rd Ensign in the fore rigging I have parted a bower cable.

This popular Temperance Sooiety was introduced into the Colony in March, 1873, when the African Pioneer Lodge, No. 1, was instituted by a delegate from the English Grand Lodge (Mr. J. F. Smith). On the 2nd of May following it was introduced into this province, at Port Elizabeth, when the Port Elizabeth Star of Hope Lodge, No. 2, was instituted, the Hon. J. Geard, M.L.O., being the first Worthy Chief Templar. Other lodges were instituted in the up-country towns, so numerously and successfully that in less than six months an application was made to the Right Worthy Grand Lodge of the World for a Grand Lodge charter, and on the 1st of May, 1874, the Grand Lodge of South Africa was daly established at Port Elizabeth, with a jurisd7ction embracing the whole of the Colony, the States, Diamond Fields, Gold Fields, but excepting Natal. The Order presents all the excellent features of Freemasonry, with other qualities which render it more popular. Its cere monial work is adapted to inculcate the true principles of temperance — "abstinence for the individual, and prohibition for the 'country," from intoxicating liquors. Unlike Free masonry, there is no distinction of sex, as, both eexes being sufferers from the evils of intemperance, both are alike entitled to protection. The ritual- also of this Order is in perfect harmony with Gospel truth, and its duties, lectures, and prayers cannot offend the most exalted views of Christianity, neither does it in any manner tamper with the religion of its members. It is not a secret society, in the sense of Free masonry, but only demands the privacy extended to the private dwelling. Its regalia, elaborate ceremony, and numerous offices are but parts of very perfect machinery to conduct the work of the Order in a systematic way. The supreme head of the Order is the Right Worthy Grand Lodge, which has now sixty- four Grand Lodges subordinate to it, and a membership of about 750,000 in all parts of the world. The platform of the Order is thus summarised : — Principles. — Total abstinence from all intoxicating liquors as bever ages, enforced by a life-long pledge, and the absolute prohibition of the manufacture, importation, and sale of intoxicating drinks. Policy — Broad, allowing Lodges to aot acoording to looality, times, and oircumstances. Basis.— Non benefioiary, the object being to do good rather than to receive benefit. Financial System.— Entrance Fee may be as low as Is. 6d. Quarterly subscriptions — Males, Is. ; females, 6d. SlimHlity. — Males and females are admitted, and are equally eligible 136 INDEPENDENT ORDEE OP GOOD TEMPLARS. Membership.— Abont 750,000 members, including Senator Williams, of Massachusetts ; General Geary, Governor of Pennsylvania ; Hon C. K. Watson, of Kentucky ; Sir H. Stockenstrom, Bart., of Cape of Good Hope ; Archdeaoon McLean, of Canada ; many olergymen and officers in the army and navy. Scope.— The membership is fraternal, all boing entitled to the privi leges of the whole Order. Extent. — Great Britain, United States, Australia, Sandwich Islands, Cape Colony, Natal, Transvaal, Japan, Ac., &c. Mode of Work. — Employment of competent lecturers, printing of temperance works, formation of temperance libraries, and prompt and consistent action during elections, &o. Results. — The violation of pledges amount to only abont 5 per cent, annually. On the 1st of August, 1874, this Grand Lodge published the firBt number of their official organ, The South African Templar, which, commencing with an issue of 600, bad in a few months upwards of 1,200 subscribers. The 8. A. Templar is one of the few papers which reaches every part of the Colony, the States, Griqnaland West, the Gold Fields, and Natal. The first Degree Temple was formed on the 23rd June, 1873, and the first Juvenile Temple on the 15th October, 1874. On the 18th of September, 1874, the first Good Templar hall was built at the Diamond Fields, and the first in the Colony at Bedford. It was dedicated by D. D. Fraser, Esq., F.E.I.S., Grand Worthy Councillor, and Sir Henry Stockenstrom, Bart., was thus the first Worthy Chief Templar whose lodge met within a dedicated building. Shortly after the Albany Hall, Graham's Town, was purchased. The property now in the hands of the Order is valued at £12,000. There are upwards of thirty clergymen of all denominations members of this Order resident in the Colony and neighbouring States, and about ten medical men. The Order of Good Templars having from the first been found unsuitable for the reformation of the natives of this Colony, owing to its complicated ritual and elaborate cere* mony, a simpler Order was framed by this Grand Lodge for tbeir use, and met with unexpected success. The first True Templar Temple was instituted at Graham's Town by D. D. Fraser, G.W.C., in January, 1876. Since then thirteen have been formed, with a membership of over 1,500. The Juvenile Templar movement has been also successful, and, with twenty-two temples organised, are educating our youth in habits of temperance which it is hoped will beneficially influence the next generation. The total number of Good Templars and True Templars is upwards of 5,750, and of Juvenile Templars about 1,200. INDEPENDENT 0BDER OF GOOD TEMPLARS. 137 Geand Lodge.

A glance at the re-construction of the political map of the Colony will enable the reader to discern how widely the present arrangement differs from the old provincial one, whioh separated the country into simply East and West," giving a preponderance to the older and therefore more settled portion in the exercise of the franchise, which some consider neither equitable nor prudent. The annexation of British Kaffraria, Basutoland, Griqaaland East, the possible early addition of Griqualand West, and the not remote absorption of more tribes and territory on both the South-eastern and West Coast must soon cause further reconstruction, and if justice is to be meted out to all, an extension of political privileges which will give the aboriginal vote a large influence over the white and civilized. That reference may be facilitated, the arrangement adopted in the following pages differs from previous one?, the several divisions being placed in alphabetical order rather than accord ing to their mercantile, agricultural, or political pre-eminence.

ALBANY. (Including the Fiscoil Divisions of Albany and Bathurst). Dr. Atherstone, to whom we are indebted for the following notes about the chief frontier city of the Settlers, thus describes the place : — " Graham' a Town, the capital of the Eastern Province, is situated oa the eastern branoh of the Kowie River, near the centre of the pjpulous district of Albany, at the foous where 256 graham's town. all the roads from the interior converge to enter the only available gap through the Zaurberg range, the Howison'a Poort. It ia eighty-four miles from Fort Elizabeth, thirty-six miles from Port Alfred, and sis hundred miles from Cape Town and Natal, and, although inferior to Port Elizabeth in point of population, is without question the largest and most important town in the Province. It is built on the grassy slopes of the Zuurberg range, at the head of the valley of the Kowie, one thousand seven hundred and sixty feet above the sea, and covers an area of about two thousand acres, having twelve hundred houses in the town, two hundred and fifty houses and huts in the outskirts and native locations, and twenty miles of streets, well gravelled, its principal streets being lined with trees, as are also the roads leading down into the City. Its population, according to the last census, was between eight and nine thousand, of which two thousand five hundred were coloured, but at present it probably much exeeeds that number. It is, without doubt, the prettiest and most English town in the colony, and fully entitled to be called the ' City of Gardens.' The first view through the gap in Goodwin's Kloof, after emerging from the wild mountain gorge or poort, is particularly striking and picturesque. The villa gardens of West Hill and Oatlands, St. Aidan's, and the tapering spire of Christ Church first burst into sight from the foreground of vertical rock round which the road winds, gradually unfolding to view the ' City of the Settlers,' with its gardens and graveyards, where sleep the victims of many a Kafir war — their monuments peeping from under cypress atd rose tree, or decking its Cathedral walls. Its public bnildinga are numerous and well built, the new church at Oatlands being particularly conspicuous for its architectural beauty. The Albany Hall is one of the most commodious public assembly rooms in the colony, and the Albany Hospital, of forty bed?, built on the pavilion principle, on a healthy and commanding site, is admirably adapted for the purpose intended — restora tion to health. The advantages of the City, in a sanitary point of view, are unquestionable ; its elevated and well,drained site, its pure air and genial climate, and the absence of fever and endemic disease, give it strong claims as a residence for invalids. Its numerous and extensive military buildings ara now available for other purposes. The barracks at Fort Eng land are a'ready converted into a Lunatic Asylum for the Province. There are twelve Churches and Chapels— a Cathe dral and four Churches connected with the Church of England, and one Roman Catholic, three Wesleyan, a Baptist Chapel, and two Independent places of worship. It is the residence of both the Anglican and Roman Catholic Bishops, and may be graham's town. 257 said to be the head-quarters of every religious sect in the Province, excepting the Dutch, there being no Dutch minister resident in the City. It has two Colleges, three Publio Grammar Schools, a large Convent Free School, and Private Boarding School for Girls, and several other private educa tional establishments; altogether nearly one thousand children are under educationin Graham's Town. It has many valuable institutions — a Public Library and reading-room, with about seven thousand volumes ; a publio Museum, containing an extensive and valuable collection illustrative of colonial natural history, paleontology, and industrial products ; a Natural History Society, several debating and Mutual Improvement Societies, and a Choral Society. It has several benefit societies, including that of the Albany Brethren, which is now in its forth-eighth year of existence: the Loyal Eastern Province Lodge of Oddfellows, the oldest Lodge of the Order in the Province; the Court Queen Victoria of the Foresters' Order; the St. Patrick's Mutual Benefit Society ; and the Templars' Mutual Benefit Society. Besides these, it has four lodges of Freemasons, and four lodges of Good Templars. All these institutions are in a thriving state. Its extensive Botanical Gardens are well laid out, with grass lawn3 and oak walks, a handsome conservatory, and well- stocked nurseries, supplying most of the up-country towns with trees and ornamental shrubs. It has also three Banks, branches of English Corpora tions—the Standard B,ink of British South Africa, the London and South African, and the Oriental Bank — a local Savings' Bank, several Insurance and other Joint-Stock Companies, a Chamber of Commerce, and the Port Alfred Boating Company. Its Press, the first independent Press in the Province, was established in 1831, and has ever since taken the lead in poli tical and social questions. There are three nowspapers, the Journal, the Eastern Star, and the Penny Mail, eaoh with a large and increasing circulation. The town is well supplied with excellent water, its three reservoirs being capable of containing twenty-four millions of gallons. There are twelve miles of main pipes distributing pure water over the streets to six hundred private water leadings. It is the seat of the Eastern Districts Court, the residence of the Judges, and a numerous Bar and Side-Bar. A Divisional Couacil and a Municipality, consisting of a Mayor and twenty-four Councillors, regulate the local affairs, and those of the district, its roads, bridges, &c. Amongst the more important local industries are the leather trade, machine-made shce factory, saddlery, and tanneries; its wagon and coachbuilding establishments, justly celebrated for the superior character of their work, there being sixteen wagon establishments in the City ; steam-mill and lathe, brick aud 258 graham's town. tile yp.rda, soap and candle manufactories, &c., &c. The City Lords are unrivalled, and the Racecourse equal to any in the colony. It has several good hotels — Wood's deservedly the most popular, The natural facilities for drainage, its elevated site, the absence of swampy ground and malaria, and the nightly removal of all offensive matter to deodorising pits two miles to the leeward, render Graham's Town one of the healthiest towns in the colony." The population, strangely, has decreased from 8,072 in 1865 to 6,903 in 1875. The population of the Division is 16,499 ; area, 1,833 square miles. ECCLESIASTICAL.

Among the most disastrous were thai abandonment of tho port, the sale of the Government build-| iDgs and of the Drostdy at Batliurst, and the removal of thi seat of magistracy to Graham's Town. The Custom Housi buildings, which cost over .£4,000, were sold for £215. Man; years afterwards the river channel was diverted to the westerly bank by Mr. William Cock, the proprietor of the farm on thafl side, assisted by a number of Albany settlers, who cut a trenchS through the sands, and let out the river, blocking up the olfl channel by sand bags and bush. Tho port was af terwardjB proved to be available for small vessels, and successfully rej established by private resources, £25,000 having been raise) in Graham's Town and Lower Albany by private individuali the Government contributing an equal amount. It is the on!; publio work in the colony so largely and so successfully snp. ported by private enterprise, for which unexampled liberality its spirited subscribers were solemnly called on to forfeit the: £25,000 as an inducement for Government to tako over t' works ! The works for the improvement of the harbo designed by those eminent marine engineers, Mr. Bendell a: .Sir John Coode, are now being energetically carried out at comparatively trifling cost, the river entrance and piers bei fortunately proteoted by a reef of rocks on the west, and the Fountain Rocks on the east, rendering unnecessary t) gigantic steam cranes and twenty-ton concrete blocks requir at East London to resist the heavy rollers and ground swel which are unknown at Port Alfred. When the present obstruj tions are removed from tho river channel, and tho worl PORT ALFRED. 277 carried out to completion, it must command a considerable trade, the facilities for inland transport being very great. There is excellent holding ground for ships of the largest size at the outer anchorage, and it has never a lee shore, the prevalent winds being up or down the coast, enabling vessels to slip and put to sea at any time. It has also the advantage of sixteen miles of tidal flow to scour and keep free the entrance when once dredged out." [1876. — This scour now averages a rate of from three to four and a half miles per hour, and will increase in effect as the works progress. The river continues steadily deepening], " It has a steam-tug of twenty-five horse-power, and lighters for loading and dis charging at the outer anchorage, or for bringing in vessels of moderate draught (nine to ten feet) in the river, to the wharves a mile from the entrance, where extensive stores, a bonding warehouse, and Custom House have been already erected, with every facility for landing and shipping as in a dock. The large reach above tLo present wharves— a basin three quarters of a mile in length — will, when dredged out to its original depth (thirty feet), make an excellent aud commodious dock, which it is proposed to call " The Marie Dock." Already the Customs dues at Port Alfred have reached nearly £20,000 a year, and upwards of a hundred vessels, several over three hundred tons, have safely entered the river within the last three years, the only casualties (except one) having occurred within the piers. It is connected by telegraph with every port of the colony, and a time ball will soon be added, enabling captains to rate their chronometers. It will also, no doubt, before long bo connected by rail with the capital of the province, a favourable line for a railway, under forty miles, having been reported on, which, from the traffic returns, will pay both interest on cost of construction and working expenses as soon as it ia opened. The river is navigable for small vessels for eight or ten miles, and for boats for upwards of sixteen miles, the scenery being exceedingly beautiful and picturesque, the banks wooded to the water's edge, varied in the upper reaches above the Mansfield with grassy slopes and high precipitous cliffs. Game is abundant ; herds of buffalo still exist in the Kowio bu3h, and bucks are numerous, particularly the bosch bck and bluo bok. Fish also abound ia the river and in the fishing grounds off the Fountain Rocks of excellent quality. A lucrative trade ia this article mi^ht be established with Mauritius. The Kowie is one of the favourite watering places on the coast, the warm Agulhas current running down the coast from the tropics moderating the cold of wiuter (frost being almost unknown there), and rendering it a favourite resort for invalids. The surrounding country is extensively 278 PORT ALFRED. — BEDFORD. cultivated, and is capable of sustaining a large agricultural population. Cattle and horses thrive well ; coffee, cotton, bananas, cereals, &c., bave been grown with success. Albany is, according to the latest census returns, the most populous district in the province, and, when steamers make it a port of call, Port Alfred will no doubt become one of the most impor tant harbours of the colony." Since this was written in 1872, steamers do make it a port of call, hardly a week passing with out two or more entering and clearing the Customs. It has hardly ever occurred that the weather or bar has prevented or delayed these in discharging and receiving cargo; on the con trary, they have constantly been ?erved with great despatch. Sir John Coode has row inspected the works, and will report on them when he returns to England. Staff-Commander May has, as a preliminary to this, executed careful surveys, with numerous borings in the river course, which have demonstrated that at its mouth no rode is to be found at the deepest boring yet made.

EAST LONDON. The population of this division is 15,514; area, 1,225 square miles. Bast London, situated at the mouth of the Buffalo River, is a rising port, which the promoters of the harbour improve ments hope to make the chief port for all the North-Eastern Frontier Divisions, the Diamond Fields, and the Independent States beyond the Orange River. It is the terminal station of the Union Steamship Company, and is rapidly rising in importance, as a glance at the Customs' returns shows. IMPORTS. EXPORTS. There were in 1862 £129,013 £43,872 And in 1872 299,682 143,343 Thus showing an increase in ten years of £170,669 £99,471 This is going on rapidly, and some think it is likely to con tinue as the harbour works draw nearer completion. These 288 EAST LONDON. works consist of two training walls inside tbe river, which are ' intended to narrow the ohannel from 1,100 feet to 420 feet, eo as to increase the scour at the entrance ; and a breakwater, now being built outside, to prevent the sea from checking the aotion of this scour, and driving the sand-bank at the entrance back into the river. The ultimate success of these under takings, for which the Parliament made a second grant of £100,000 last session, is doubted by no one in Kaffraria ; and when they are completed it is believed East London will have a perfectly safe harbour, capable of holding a large number of vessels at one time. At present it is one of the most wretched places at which a ship can anchor, vessels frequently lying here for months before they nan complete discharging cargo, and often having to run to Fort Elizabeth for shelter and repair. Landing is generally dangerous to life, and lamentable accidents are of frequent occurrence. In consequence of these difficulties freights by steamer to East London are far higher than to any other South Afrioan port ; hence, goods are imported via Port Elizabeth and conveyed overland to British Kaffraria at cheaper rates than direct by the natural harbour. The works in progress therefore cannot be advanced with too much satisfactory speed to obviate all these serious drawbacks, and make it a credit and comfort to Kaffraria. Then, con nected as it will be with the border districts by means of its railway, it must attract a very large share of that trade which now enters the country by Port Elizabeth. In addition to tho progress which is noticed with the harbour, the Queen's Town Railway advances with rapid strides under the management of Mr. Schmid. This railway is intended to tap the trade of all the North-Eastern Frontier Divisions, viz., King William's Town, Queen's Town, Albert, Wodehouse, Aliwal North, and the Transgariep. The Division of East London is second to none in the colony for agricultural purposes. Its kloofs and hill-sides abound with a variety of timber suitable for building purposes. Since the occupation of its lands by German grantees, it has shown itself capable of rearing every description of stock, and pro ducing all kinds of grain and vegetables, so that Government is encouraged to make further trials, and large numbers of immigrants from Sootland are arriving, who settle on spare Government lands in the district. Vast progress has been made by this part of the colony within the last ten or fifteen years. Land which was then given away at £5 and £6 a lot, is now being sold at from £200 to £300. The main improvements are on the Panmure 6ide of the river. This will ultimately be the principal, as it is already the best, part of the locality about the port. EAST LONDON. PUBLIC OFFICEBS.
