CENSUS STATISTICS.
(By Telegraph—Press Association.)
WELLINGTON, this day. Returns prepared from the census reports by the Registrar-General show that whereas in 1886 there was an excess of bachelors over spinsters in New Zealand of 12,339, it is now converted into a surplus of 1,786 women. Canterbury has now 3,997 and Otago 2,066 more spinsters than bachelors, these two districts having lost a large number of men by departure to the North Island.
