TITANUKAU HOTEL. HENRY HARDINGTON, Proprietor." The rapidly increasing importance of Onehunga as a port of arrival and departure, the extension of the railway, the connecting of the peninsula with Mangere, and the general favour Onehunga has obtained as a place of pleasurable resort, has induced the Proprietor to spare neither pains or expense to make it v A FIRST-GLASS FAMILY, COMMERCIAL, AND travellers' hotsl. The establishment has been so re-arranged as to afford the best accommodation for visitors in transitv, between the por tand other ports of the colony; as also for those who seek Onehunga as A MARINE TREAT, whether for pleasure or health. The accommodation comprises COMMERCIAL, TRAVELLERS', PUBLIC,' AND ' PRIVATE BOOMS. The Bedrooms are spacious, well-ventilated, and comfortably furnished. Every attention, under very experienced management, is paid to the wants of customers. The charges are strictly moderate; a good table is kkpt, and the ■ WINES, ALES, AND SPIRITS are the best procurable. In fact nothing has been left untried to make the , MANUKAU HOTEL . worthy of th.c bigh^l} patronage wbioh may bo awarded to it. The Stabling accoms^aMog fc *$®\\W to &3 $8 flttUtb9FV9V!n«i v- - v
