For each n > 0, the Ewens sampling formula from population genetics is a measure on the set of all partitions of the integer n. To determine the limiting distributions for the part sizes of a partition with respect to the measures given by this formula, we associate to each partition a step function on [0, 1]. Each jump in the function equals the number of parts in the partition of a certain size. We normalize these functions and show that the induced measures on D[0, 1] converge to Wiener measure. This result complements Kingman's frequency limit theorem [10] for the Ewens partition structure.
