LARGE NATIVE GATHERING.
(By Telegraph—Press Association.) ■'$
GISBORNE, this day.
A large native hul is being held at Pakirikiri, 14 miles from Gisborne. Upwards of a thousand natives are present. The natives are assembled partly to show their gratitude to the Government for its kindness in erecting a monument to the memory of the late chief, Hirini To Kani, and also to obtain funds for the rebuilding of the Kaiti Church, for which the sum of £503 has been collected.
The Te Arai native church was consecrated yesterday by the Bishop of Waiapu, 25 native and European clergy being present.
