CHINESE POPULATION.
The Rev A. Bon, the wellknown Presbyterian missionary, referring to the Chinese in New Zealand, states that the balance of population is now heavily in favour of the North Island, At the census taken eighteen mouths ago the figures were : South Island 1133, North Island 1497. He says: “I estimate them now as: South Island 1025, North Island 1450. These numbers will become more and more disproportionate. Another important fact is that the great majority of those in the south are over forty years of age, and of those in the north under that age. The numbers in the three centres are, approximately: Dunedin 120, Wellington 400, Auckland 280.” Mr Don speaks hopefully of the Chinese in Auckland, who at present hold their Christian meetings in the market gardener s’ houses, but who, he believes, will subscribe liberally for a building of their own.
