NEW ZEALAND DRAMATISTS.
TO THE EDITOE. Sib, —I think in reference to the statement that " '^Churns' is the first contribution to the dramatic literature of New Zealand" (Sir Q. Grey), that attention should be given to the following gentlemen who, to my knowledge,wrote p!ays in New Zealand before perhaps Mr Christie Murray began his career. Some, I know, wrote more than 25 years ago for the stage, viz.:—B. L. Farjeon, R. P. Whitworth, SirJ. Voge), E. T. Gillon, GeorgeDarrjjll, F. Hume, John Howe, Tjrell,' Searellb, and Carmini Morley, the last two being opera writers, to say nothing of the numerous dramatic poets, &c, &o.—l am, &c, July 21. Cantab.
