THE DOMINANT SEX.
Returns prepared from the census reports by the Registrar-General show that whereas in 1886 there was an excess of bachelors over spinsters in New Zealand of 12,339, it is now converted into a surplus of 1786 women. Canterbury has now 3997 and Otago 2966 more spinsters than bachelors. These' two districts have lost a large number of men by departures to the North Island.
