NEW ZEALAND LITERARY ASSOCIATION.
The first meeting of this session of the New Zealand Literary and Historical Association was held last evening in the Ranfurly Tea Rooms, Queen-street, and proved a very pleasant and instructive re-union. Mr.F. Rollett (president) was in the chair 3 and read an excellent though brief paper on "Literature in New Zealand," in which he gave some very useful counsel on the subject of the building up of a great literature in this quarter of the globe. Mr F. G. Ewington, the Rev. J. King Davis, Mrs Boult, Mrs Grossman, and others took part in a very interesting discussion on the subject of the paper. A clever essay by Miss Hilda Keane (formerly of Auckland, and now of Dunedin) on the subject of "Modern. Affairs" was read by the Registrar, Mr Thos. Cottle, and was much thought of by the members present, who expressed the hope that both it and Mr Rollett's paper would be published in full. r f c *v"
