As compared with th»\? other great outposts of Empire, New Zealand makes a very brave show indeed, and the journalistic experience of Mr Hooper is of value in having this fact, brought- prominently under the notice iof those Irish people who lead the newspapers. The result should be the direction New Zealandwards of part of the stream of Irish emigration and the consequent emphasising of the resemblance between Ireland and Mnoriland.
