GROUSE IN THE PARK
TO THE EDITOR.
Sir, —Your correspondent "Maorilander" appears to have had his own "selfassumed" superior dignity somewhat ruffled by the introduction of a'few harmless birds into such an exclusive paradise as a. New Zealand national park, and also to see it in his own small, narrow way that they are only. to be placed there for the pleasure of those "superior visitors" from that unimportant place oalled "Britain." He also appears to dislike any example from England. Perhaps his ordinary outlook on life would appear somewhat broader if ho only could take an example from some of those "self-assumed superior people," instead of attempting to discredit tho country from, which most of our own ancestors originated, and to whom Now Zealand always turns when in need. I would suggest to "Maorilander" to offer his own "superior'1 ideas to the various acclimatisation societies of New Zealand, and possibly they may support his ojvn. views—-that anything British is not required.—l am, etc., ENGLISHMAN. 25th September.
