THE MAORI KING'S TOUR.

KECEPTION|AT CAMBRIDGE.

(FfiOM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT),

THKlong-lboked-for advent into Cambridge of the Maori King took plaoa on Thursday morn ing, 21st inst. There can ba little doubt that thia visit of Tawhiao and his followers to one of the chief centres of the Waikato marks a new era in! the relative positions sot the two races inhabiting Newj:Zealand. Those KnropeaDs, -whose long anil intimate acquaintance with the Maories, qualify them tojudse of such matters, have not the slightest doubt of the sincerity of the Maori peop.e, who thus voluntarily come forward to express thair fiiendsiilp and good will towards the settlers. The tngnifloance of the 'visit is thoroughly appreciated by the Waikato people, -who have endeavoured, by their.i'eoeption of their Maori guests, to shew that they are willing to me t th*m half way on the-toad.of Jrlendghic -No trouble:has been spared by the residents of Cambridge to con vince Tawhiao, his chiefs and followers of thia : fact. The cordial reception giren and the 1 generous hospitality extended to; ■■ Tawhiao and party," will, it is .hoped, do much to wards building 'up .'. those . feelings of amity and concord, whose foundations have been laid by the Maori people themselves. - The entry, of King Tawhiao and hia. numerous followers Into the town/was a scone as unique as it was interesting, , Excepting to those ;who have enjoyed the fine view, which presents it self to the spectator,' aa he stands on the elevated ground, above the two br'dges, which, span the Wailtato Biver; just outside ot Cam bridge; it would be diffloult to convey a correct impression of the novelty andpiotiiresquo beauty Of the Bcene. At this poiut, the Waikato flotrg between steep and lofty banks, the road forabqut half:a-mile sloping down towards the; bridge," winds round,' and over the second bridge, find up a Blight incline into the town On the, hill beyond the first bridge, Tawhiao And his party halted on their march/about mid-day, whilo ' preparation' was made,' for the, formal entrance of the pirty : into the ' township. " The bridge was guarded by some of ■ the ■ king's borty-guards, and no pno allowed to cross.- Abeut this time ! Rewi rode^out rfrom Cambridge to meet Tawhiao, and shortly afterwards the long pro cession began to move slowly down the hill and across the i bridges.; i as it wound around the curves of the road and tip the hill into the town the appearance that it presented was one worth travelling far to see; The'cortege moved in perfect" order—the Maori footmen marching; three abreast—each man with a Bhot gun ovisr his shoulder, After these came the mounted members ot the party—numbering about one third of theiwhol6- i and observing the same order, viz., three abreast. The exact number was 125. Many of! the: town people occupied a commanding view of the scene from the high ground, at the top of the hill, i The sight was as pleasing as it was uncommon. ,There were not ■ a few Maori women in the party! The red dreeses.oft some: o£. them.: and the bright and many coloured rugs of the men, gave to the procession just that d»Bh of colour which is bo pleasing, to the eye. Many of the men were well-dressod. while the great majority of them had a fine athletio physique. Others wore n coat, and a plaid wrapped ! around the loins, and falling a little below the knees—while ".head, legs and feet went bare. This style- 61 scant-dress may perhaps'be as much the result of vanity, with them, as over ,dressing is with Maories, the Maori young men having a deoided we»khess for displaying to advantage their musoular limbs, and thick ourley blaokhair.. Some of them carried in their; hands 'hatohets of green-stone, others carved-wopden. spears, while one had a large seaißhell whioh'he could sound like a horn. A i few of the women wore the primitive cloaks of flax. .iWhen ■ they'reabhed: the hill they ware diet by the.Cambridge brass band, whioh played themMnto the town,, halting in'front of thfl1 tfublio Hall. It may be remarked "en passant," that these.'-Cambridge musicians: displayed bettar-taßte and iudgment in their choice of tunes than did their feUowa of Te Awamutuf' whoio oommoh sense Bhpuld:have taught them to leave alone on each fin occasion—the tune .'■TheiKing of &6,fc0.-'A halt-was'made in' 'front of the.p.ublia'HnU, were was arranged in order a, ,v»st quantity of provisions, prepared -; fqr-^the' visitors 'of th'd Rebe'ptioh Committee, Viz, staoks of loaves of bread, saoks of potatoes, hugh sides of be -f. pork, and bundles of fish, to say nothing of such minor comestibles as bi» ouits. iardines, bottled beer &o. Tawhiao and! bis chiefs formed a circle, and engaged in prayer ■ in the Maori language.—This orid-d, a speech was made be :Tiiwblao.":*ile :itf a man. ' apparently of" about 50 years of age. He speaks ,wtthn,muoh ,en«rgy, and ; forcible gesticulation. The speeoh ,was interpreted ahd as nearly as possible these were ,'l'awhiao's, words: "iiisteh; O people! - Europeans, the people of Alexandra, Te*Awamntu, Kikikihl and Oambridg*;" Greetings lo you I Greetings to you;l..«reetmg3 toyou!1 I sent my messenger before me to say I was coming. lam travelling now to the end of my journey; I end by saying 1 Salutations toiyon all I'" This speeoh ended, a cirolo was formed by the king's man around the piles of provisions. Some of the people took up their quarters in the hall, othc* took up posi tions; in', the p&ddoofc buttide. The distribution Of tne food was made in orderly and methodical manner py Maoris appointed to thaiasK—each littlo detachme-.t deceiving its qnota,,Qf ,the, giod things'prdvided. • Everything was1 done with the utmost good temper. i Counting the -Maoris who were alre»dy in Cambridge, it is calculated, thakthere; were not lens than 850 in town, and yet there was no drunkenness or dis order..visible. Tho, whole of the arrangements": reflects much cr?dlt on the committee ot recep tioo._.The townwas decorated with flags and mottoes, a notable one over the door of mine host Kayßes o£ the National Hotel being "Welcome toi King ! aawhiw). ,'. Advance > Cambridge:" Here to came off the event of the day—the bs^auet to, ?Tawhi»o provided by. the hospitality at Messrs/Mao Lean,' "Walker , and Fergussoni y/aV isSaed invitation, tickets; to; about,'thirty istjier gentlemen, besides about the same num ber of Maori chiefs. Sixty-two sat down to the dinner. Tne Spacious dihing-hall was decorated w(th flags and ~ flowon ,75 the. , band , dis coursing sweet mußio '■ irora the- verandah. : .The spread was most creditable., Mrßvery, Mp fl e*n -prbsia^d : Mr E.B.Walker "acted as vice ! chairman, while at opposite-Brids of the other ! also present.; Tie toast of the 'Queen," Was ,or course loyally responded ta. .It was 'suggestedl that the toasts bs interpreted for the Ixnoflt-of the Maori guests. The next toast was " TheGc yernor." The chairman said, "I ooaipy. a position ;tbis evening of which'the Governor^ .riilght well be proud. It would, lam sure, give* mm great pleasure to meet th 4 guests who are here to-night. I hope no very long time will elapse before Hi« -Excellency' will have the pleasnra ot entertaining Tawhiao."—Tlie Chairman then proposed; "Thejhealth ofiour guest. Tawhiao. He said : "During my life I h*vehad the opportunity of beings chairman at many a dinner,but have herdr sat at one whioh has given me-greater pleasure -than the present. /I I wish to assure,, Tawhiao that the; setUeta'-'of the <"■ Waikato 'extierience the greatest pleasure' at- the slip he haj-'takeri in! coming to ■■see''> them'-to-day and ,-that-!-we ' settlers were!'otjly'too glad %a be able itoiineel! him half way' in '.'this spirit o[ friendship, whiohlhe lias: shown us, ■ and' to' assure him there'is'not a settler in ths waiknto' that would not bo gl»d to entertain him as his guests I; personally feel under great obligations' to!
