VISIT OF TAWHIAO AND MIS CHIEFS.

BAHQUET IN THE CHORAL HALL,

In accordance with the programme arranged by the '.Reception Committeo, Tawhiao and his chiefa were publicly entertained yester. dny evening at dinner in the Cliortl Hall. The tables were arranged in the form of a parallelogram, two of them run ning longitudinally along the hall, and two others being placed transversely at top and bottom. The proceedings had been ar ranged to commence at seven o'clock, and

a very fow minutes after that hour four 'buses filled to overflowing with the native guests made their appearance in Symonds street, and drew up at the Hall. The Europeans who were already assembled received th« visitors with cheers, and then escorted thetn to their seats. Seventy had been invited, but a much larger numbsr attended, while fully 200 persons altogether sat down at the tables. His Worship the Mayor (Mr J. M. Ulark) presided, sup ported on the right by Tawhiao, the Hon. F. Whitaker (Attorney ■ General), and Major Jackson, and on the left by Dr Campbell, Paora Tuhacre, and Major Mair. Messrs Firth andMcMillan acted as croupiers The gallery and orchestra were occupied by ladies and gentlemen who had come simply to view the proceedings and to sec the dusky celebrities.The spectacle certainly|was strange and uncommon. It was easily seen that the Maoris had given a very loose in terpretation to the intimation of their enter tainers that evening dress was not neces sary, even assuming that they had heard of it. They appeared in all sorts of costumes. Some came attired in coat and trousers, and minus their shoes, others had discarded pants altogether in favour of the blanket, nnd Tawhiao himself, although attired more alter the European fashion than he was in the afternoon, attracted notice by a roll of whito linen which was flung across his ri»ht shoulder and breast like a military waist belt. Possibly it was the outward badge of royalty. If the appearance of the guests at the table was outre and grotesque, tho incidents of the banquet were doubly so. This was in a great mcasuro the fault of the caterer (Mr Dallen), whose arrangements were as im perfect and unsatisfactory as the menu which he laid before the banquetters was scant and meagre. The company was so arranged that in sitting down to table the two races were intermingled as much as possible, so that the proceedings might bs gene through with proper decorum, and everyone placed nt his ease. At this time the only eatables to be.had were a few fruit and cakes, jrhich were placed in small quantities along' the board. The Maoris eat sedately for a while, listening atten tively to the operatic selections which the Artillery Band, up in the gallery, was per forming for their edification. As soon, however, as the music ceased, they began to fidget about and exhibit other signs of uneasiness, evidently thinking that the in strumentalists bad been giving the signal for the commencement of the onslaught upon the provisions, As only the fruit and mixed biscuits were within sight, they cheerfully addressed themselves to these, aud in the twinkling of an eye, therefore, strawberries, peaches, bananas, and pine apples-sweetened by occasional draughts of sherry and claret—were in process or rapid consumption. This preliminary repast was about giving out when a strong odour ot broiled fish assailed the nostrils of the banquettcrs. A moment later this course was placed upon, lho table, and its fra grance filled the hall. In fact, some were fastidious enough to think the fish too Iragrant. Another awkward pause ensued, which the Maoris, not one wbit abashed or nonplussed, tilled up by a renewed attack upon the remaining fruit and biscuits, strawberries finding especial favour in the eyes of those who had just discussed the full. At this stage the members oj the Ke ception Committee, seeing that their active assistance was needed if the affair was not to become a perfect fiasco, readily pave their services as waiters. No meats, either, boiled or roast, had arrived at tho'hall, but some roast fowl had, and these were quickly carved and handed round by the indefatigable committeemen, along with a plentiful supply of vegetables. The Euro peans who had hitherto abstained from eat ing now commenced, aud the Maoris hav ing already despatched the lighter comes tibles, right heartily joined them in attack ing the ftesh course. The sweets followed, and then cigars having been handed round some time was allowed for a post-prandial smoke, iv which everyone—the Maori •women quite as readily as the men—seemed to indulge con anwre. The bill of fare, which was neatly written on embossed cardboard {copies of which'were handed round), was as follows s Whaee Waiata, Akaeana, Hanuere 19,1882.—Konga kai: He kanao kohua, he patiki parai. He ripipi kohua me tona wai kinakiano ; hearero lean, he rnea kohua; he heihei oumu; he hioha pekene, he mea kohua; he kau oumu; lie kuao poaka, lie mea omu; he pai kau kuao me to pekeue. He pi; he kamokamo; he riwai. He pai paramu; he pai rupapa; he jraringi heki; he pea, he mea kohua; he ticro (lie tutu paheha). He Tiki; he pnta; he pioha kai ota

The members of the company having re-seated thcmselvep, His Worship the Mayor gave the opening toasts, viz,, •' I'he Queen " and " The Governor," which were drunk with the utmost fervour, and followed by three lusty cheers, the band playing appropriate music at the some time. Mr J. C. Young had been engaged to act as interpreter, but as his voice was quite in audible beyond the centre of the hall, Mr James Mackay, had to] repeat! Jtho translation for the benefit of those who would otherwise have been precluded from hearing the speeches. This arrangement v/as found to work rather awkwardly, and, therefore, as Mr Young was labouring under the disadvantage of a cold, Mr Mackay voluntarily relieved him of his duties. His Worship next proposed the toast of the evening, viz., " Tawhiao and his' friends—our guests," Its announcement ■was received with cheers. The Mayor said: The people of Auckland, for whom I am now the spokesman, wish particularly to state the friendly feeling which they en tertain towards Tawhiao and hia friende,; and I may say towards the whole of the native race in New Zealand. Something like twenty years ago circumstances arose to estrange a certain portion of the natives from the Europeans. I shall not go into the partfculars of these matters now. If looked at from one side or from the other side they might have a different appearance, The natives chose, shortly after those troubles, to isolate themselves from the Europeans. But now the natives have shown a disposition to come nearer to us. Tawhiao and his friends appear to.wish to break up that isolation and to make them* selves one people with the Europeans. (Cheers.) During the whole time of the previous troubles I might say thatf there was no bad feeling—no feeling of animosity existing on the part of the European people towards the natives^ (Hear, hear.) And now, at all events, when the natives come forward and wish to say " Let bygones be bygones; lot the past be forgotten," we, the Europeans, are prepared to meet them and to shako bands with tbem as friends. (Cheera.) And I say now that the wish of the people of Auckland and the whole of Europeans towards people in New Zealand is that they may live in friendly relations with the native race. I say now that in my opinion it will be* best for New Zealand and for both races to live thus in amity one with another. I call upon you, therefore, to drink " Health, happiness, and prosperity to Tawhiao and his fr/ends." (Lond cheering.) Band : "For they are jolly good fellows. —Tawhiao replied : Hearken! hearken ! Listen ye, the persons who administer affairs in Auckland between the two races. I am much pleased with* what has been said, and I have but two sentiments to utter in reply. The first is this : Great have been the evils in our country, but now let them be forgotten, let them be trampled under foot! This utterance of mine is just; it is a sentence of importance. Although the evils [the fighting between the races] may have been great, let them be trampled on by us! Another sentence I wish to utter is—love. How si all wo narrow the principle of love, for its nature is to be expansive.- It is my idea that our love and affection should be commingled together as we are now. It is through that idea that I have been seen here to day, and that we are met here this even ing. Love is the great principle—the bond of union between races. This is all I wish to say about those two sentiments, love and friendship. I promised you two words, and I have given utterance to them. (Cheers.) 'In response to loud calls Wahanui then rose. He spoke as follows;':— "You have heard what Tawhiao has said ; in the first instance his reference, to love, and, secondly, the trampling down of evils [that is, the wars between the races]. My question regarding these two points is this —where are they to be recorded ; and who - shall bring to a conclusion our differences: and who is to carry out the friendly rela}

I tions referred to? Perhaps it will be for ' Tawhiao alone to arrange matters. These days are the days of Tawhiao. In the lirst place he came to Pinngia, In the second place he travelled through the Waikato, and in the thiid place he has come to Auck land. The basis of these three journeys is of a friendly character—to enable ua to meet one another in the broad day light, the sun shining upon us, dispersing nit the evils that came up heretofore, There fore I consider it la well that Tawhiao'a I health should be drunk to-night. He is entitled to praise, on account of these three attempts to bring about kindly relations b.'tween the Europeans and Maoris. I look upon you all this night with satisfac tion, and I now say to you, do not permit any evils to arise hereafter, but endeavour to administer affairs rightly, for the benefit ot all concerned. Therefore, gentlemen, I wish you success. I greet the whole of you." Paora (Paul) Tuhaere then proposed the health of the Hon. Mr Whitaker. He said: Greeting to you, my friends, the chiefs of Auckland. lam very much pleased with the hospitable manner in which you have received and entertained Tawhiao. This is the first occasion for a very long time on which he has been among you, but to-night he eats with us as our guest. I We have been searching much in our own ; minds as to what he might be towards us. : (Paul's meaning was that he was uncer tain whether Tawhiao was going at last to side with the Europeans or going to con tinue his isolation, but that all doubt had been cleared by his announcement of that i evening.) I have now come clearly to the j opinion that he is desirous of making himself friendly with us and that tbat is the reason of his presence here to-night. The morning has dawned, the daylight is about us, the sun is shining, and we sec all things plainly. The sea is smooth and calm ; there is no wind to iufHe its surface. I say there can be no greater peace-making than that which is now made when we are all here together. (Cheers.) I now beg to propose the health of Mr Whitaker, because be has had a very great derl to do with administering affairs in such a way as to bring about this very successful meeting of the two races. (Cheers.) The Bon. Mr Whitaker, in responding, said: This has been altogether unex pected on my part. I had no conception whatever that my health would be pro posed this evening. I should have con sidered it a very great compliment, indeed,

if my health had been proposed upon such an occasion as this by any of my European friend?. Bat I feel the compliment a great deal more when my health has been pro posed by an important native chief whom I have known intimately for nearly, forty years. From my veiy earliest coming to New Zealand I have felt a kindly feeling towards the native population. It has been a source of the greatest grief to me that we should ever have been brought into any kind of antago nistic feeling towards them. It is per fectly true what Chief Paul says, that I have used my very best endeavours to bring abont the state of things which now exists. Nothing will afford me greater pleasure than for the future to see the two races living together in amity and peace (cheers) or to do aught that will tend to bring the two races as much as possible together. Towards the furtherance of that object, I have used my best exer tions to have a bridge laid across the Waipa at Alexandra, so as to connect the new settlement of Tawhiao with the European settlements on this side, and in this way bridging over the distance between them. It waa only yesterday that I accepted the tender for the construction of this bridge. I thought I could not pay Tawhiao a more appropriate compliment than to ask him to drive the first pile. (Cheers). When, there fore, he came to see mo to-day upon a friendly visit, I told him that the contract for the bridge had .been taken, and I asked him if he would drive the first pile. He was pleased with the offer, accepted it, and will do so. (Cheers). I look upon tkis bridge as joining the two parts of the country, between which the river Waipa now tuns—one side inhabited by the natives, and the other by the Europeans, and drawing together the two races, joining them, I hope, for the future, hand to hand in a common prosperity. (Cheers.) I think that Tawhiao accepts tho offer in the same spirit that it Is made. On such an occasion as this it would be easy to make a long speech, but I am satis fied that is not what you want. Permit me to say that it will always be my desire in the future, as it haa been in the past, to promote the best interests of both Europeans and native?, To show the in terest that Tawhiao and the natives as well as myself take in this bridge, I shall relate to you a short anecdote. There were two routes, one rather roundabout and the other direct, and we wanted to have the cheapest. When I mentioned this to Tawhiao, he said ; " Don't let us have the roundabout one, but let us come straight to eachother." (Cheers.) I say again that, as in the past, so shall it be in the future, as far as I am concerned, and as long a% I shall live In this country I shall endeavour to do the utmost in my power to benefit both the native and the European race. May they long live together in happiness, and have neither differences of opinion, nor worse differences to separate them again, (Loud cheers.) Patara te Tula spoke of the gladncsi he felt in seeing Tawhiao seated side by side with Mr Wliitaker, the representative of the Government. Should anything further arise to disturb the prevailing aniety, it must come from the Europeans.

Major Te Wheoro, M.H.K., proposed /he health of tne Mayor of Auckland, and in doing so, added his congratulation to those that had already gone before on the gratifying character of the meeting. It waß a Maori saying that there are two pleasant' things—eating and sleeping. These are the fruits of friendship when men eat in friendship and sleep in friendship. He desired ts express his feelings of gratitude to Major Mair for his attitude and action, which had materially tended to bring about the present happy issue, The Mayor, in responding, reassured the visitors of the kindly feelings entertained towards them from the North Cape to Stewards Island. He proposed the health of Major Mair. Major Mair said the honour that had been accorded him was unexpected. He was thankful that his efforts of the past ton years were appreciated. He felt confident that the work was completed, and there would be no more trouble between the Maorios and Huropeans. Tawhiao said : Listen ! 0 Europeans and Maoris 1 lam much pleased with, what has fallen from our Chairman, Mr Clark. He is the head of the people, and he is therefore at the head of the specchmaking. As to V hat has been said of the natives and Major Mair, I would recall to you theold: saying—after the rain comes the sunshine, and then all is bright. lam delighted with the speeches of the Auckland gen tlemen. At the d.wn of day the sound of your vo'os of kindness was heard, and your attentions have been continuous dur in" tbe whole of the day, and up to the present time. It is well. It is well that such kindnesses should exist, qnd that Europeans and Maories should live together in amicable leUtiona. There is but one word more from me, and that is to those persons whose business it is to administer the laws, including the lawyers, viz, that they should be of one mind. Tawhiao then went on to explain that in the course ho had taken he had acted in contrariety to Te Ngakau, who wished a different course pursued, but that his will had overridden To Ngakau's, He also said, with respect to the Alexandra bridge, that, tearing the reproach of the Europeans that it had been constructed for him with Government money, he had stipulated that it should be paid for by himself. This concludod the list ot speeches. • 1 The National Anthem was then sung by the company, and the assemblage dispersed after cheers had been called and given for Tawhiao and his chiefß.

Fire Brigade Display.

The exhibition of the power of the City Water Supply for the delectation of Tawhiao and the other Maori visitors took, place at noon to-day in the midßt of a down, pour of rain. The lower end of Queen, street, near the Waitemata Hotel, was selected as the scene of the exhibition. There were about 25 members of the Fire Brigade present, under the command of Mr Superintendent Hughes, wd the rapid and methodic manner with which they handled their appliances was not lost upon tbe coloured spectators. Fre quent ejaculations of wonderment and aWement would burst from them, th was especially the case when a very small arse's saws hydrants were used, and splendid jets were obtainable. The inclement nature of he weather, of course, interfered With, the

effectiveness of the display. During Rewi's visit to Auckland a similar exhibition took place in his presence. The weather was fine and the miniature rainbows formed on tho falling spray, made quite a lasting impres sion on the mind of the astute Ngatimania poto chief. + The pakehas rose a hundred fold in his estimation when he found that they could manufacture rainbows at plea sure.

Tawhiao's Movements.

' Tawhiao visited the principal shops and places of business in Shortland-street, and on an inspection of Pullman's photo, room, expressed his pleasure to his friends on seeing portraits of Rewi, and many old native faces familiar to him in former years. He was delighted with the highly finished cabinet work of Mr Wm. Norrie, all made of New Zealand woods. One piece of furniture which pleased him greatly was presented to him by Mr Norrie. Notwithstanding the very rainy weather ot to-day, Tawhiao has been improving his tirao by seeing the sights of the place, although his range of visitation has been necessarily confined within a small radius. Accompanied by two of his sons and Henare Kaihau, he sallied out this morning and travelled the sheltered side of Queen-street looking at the various shops and visiting in turn the establishments of Mr S. Coombes (clothier), Mr T. B, Bill (chemist), and Messrs Hill and Fenton (hatter-). In the afternoon he went to Messrs Gairett Brother'sbootfactory and was -hewn around their establishment. He seemed greatly astonished at the number of hands employed and at the ingenious character of tho machinery used. Other parties of chiefs and their followers went round the town in various directions, and were everywhere courteously received. Paora Tubaere and Manuhiri remained in the reception hall dur ing the afternoon, receiving and conversing with visitors, while the billiard table pro vided- the younger men with the means of entertainment. The whole party seems to be comfortably housed at the Governor Browne Hotel, THEATRE ROYAL. To-night the King and his entire retinue patronise the entertainment to be given iv the Theatre Royal by P. Doran and his company. A good programme has been prepared, and the natives are looking for ward to the performance with anticipations of great pleasure, MR FIKTH'S RECEPTION PARTY. In consequence of the increasing down pour of rain, Mr J. C. Firth deemed it prudent at an early period of the afternoon to announce the postponement of his reception party. It will probably take place on Monday first.

AGRICULTURAL ASSOCIA TION'S PRIZES.

The following report has been sent in by tho gcntlumon appointed judges to award the prizes offered by the committee of the Auckland Agricultural and Pastoral Association and Mr W. Aitken for the beat crops of certain kinds. To tho Com mittee of the Auckland Agricultural and Pastoral Society: Gcßtlemen,—ln ac cordance with instructions received from your secretary, I and my coadjutors pro ceeded to inspect the root crops and cereals entered for competition for the Society's and Mr Aitken's prizes. We saw some splendid fields of wheat, but those of Messrs Maclean, Wallace, and Grey were the heaviest we saw, and the most free from blight. A good many fields have been very much damaged by the recent heavy rains, and the ravages of the caterpillar, were ap parent in several, but upon the whole the crop is a good one, and ought to yield well. The heaviest we computed at SO bushels to the acre, and the lightest at 35 bushels. There was only one field of barley entered for competition, and being an exceptionally heavy crop, we deemed it worthy of the prize, The potato crops were very good upon the whole, those of Messrs Banks and Church being exceptionally heavy crops and true to their sorts. The same remarks were scarcely applicable to a good many others, which did not appear to have had much labour 'bestowed upon them. With regard to other crops, we did not notice any tluug very extraordinary, except in the beans and peas exhibited by Mr Maclean, which were simply perfection. We awarded the prizes as follows : — SOCIETY'S PRIZES. For the bost JO acres of Wheat,—lst prize, Mr Maclean, 2nd, Mr James Wallace; 3rd, Mr John Gray. Best 5 acres of Barley,—lst prize, Mr Maclean,

Mr Mackay informs us that the phrase "economical Government" in Mr Whit> aker's speech, would have taken a large number of words to express. It he had said, "he Kawanatanga rawakore," it would have been rendered "an lmpover. ished Government." Had he said, "he Kawanatanga kai pono," it would could be interpreted "a stingy or mean Govern ment." It might also have been put thus: " Ko tenei Kawanatanga he Kawanatanga ata whakaaro marirc ki nga moni o te Iwi nui tonn kaore ratou i pai kite mou mon i tetahi tana o taua moui," The literal translation of which is: " This Government is one which carefully considers the ex penditure of the moneys of the people, and they do not wish to disburee them lavishly." Mr Mackay says ho would like to have a direct Maori word for " economy.'1 Unless it is " tiaki" (look out or take care of), he cannot arrive at one which expresses economy,
