HOME RULE FOR IRELAND.

THE NATIONALIST LEADER’S GRATITUDE. ‘‘ON THE LAST LAP.” [BT TELEGRAPH—PER PRESS ASSOCIATION.] WELLINGTON, Oct. 10. Mr. Martin Kennedy who did so much to make the tour of New Zealand by the Irish delegates such a sp.endid success has just received an official receipt for the second instalment of New Zealand contribution, signed by Bishop O’Donnel, J. E. Redmond, and John Fitzgibbon, trustees of the Home Rule Fund. With the official acknowledge came the following letter from Mr. John , Redmond himself. Dear Mr. Kennedy:—“l beg to acknowledge receipt of your letter of the 28tl> of July, enclosing credit note for £4500. This with £4OOO already received from you, by the Envoys makes the total of £BSOO received by us. So far a I the result of the New Zealand mission. I need not say that we and the whole of the Nationalists of Ireland are deeply grateful for this most magnificent and generous support. We are nowentering on the last lap and nothing short of some quite unforseen political earthquake can prevent the early triumph of Horae Rule. When that date comes we all will gladly and properly acknowledge how much Ireland owes to the Irishmen of New Zealand and foremost among them to you. United by my colleagues in warmest thanks to you, I remain, very truly yours, (signed) J. E. Redmond, 29th August, 1911.”

The last instalment was cabled home quite recently making the sum total of the net contribution of the Dominion to the fund nearly £9BBO. The total amount collected in Now Zealand was nearly £II,OOO. MELBOURNE, This Day.

The Irish Envoys addressed a large gathering at the Town Hall the collection amounting to £I,OOO.
