FAINT HUMOUR.
SHEFFIELD CHOIR LETTERS. Englisli papers to hand contain tliu special correspondence columns conducted by various members of the Sheffield Choir nn their visit to New Zealand. There is strong ovidenco in the articles, which deal mostly with New Zealand scenery, that the chop's visit,was a very hurried one, and in many casos there is displayed much ignorance of tho subjects dealt with. A special corrosnondcnt of a Sheffield paper states that "thero are only two sleeping cars in the whole of New Zealand." 11l all sincerity tho same writer says: "It is very strango to too a") tho catilo in the fields wearing coats, but as they arc outside all the year round the covering is an, absolute necessity." In another portion of tho articlo the writer says; "In Auckland we saw a specimen of a very horrid native bird called a rca" (presumably a Icca), for every dead body of which tho Government odors a reward of JCt."
