(By Telegraph.—Own Reporter.)]
NGARUAWAHIA, this day".
The disbanding of the Maori camf commenced to-day after a korero yesterday afternoon and a dance that lasted tfll far into the morning. It is expected that the camp will not be quite.'clesr tiß the end of the week. The health uppe* tors arranged for a. tent on the Waikate River as a temporary hoepital; l»* throughout the gathering there was not a single case of -sickness at the korero, which was a typical Maori feast, ioh lowed by many speeches by represent** tive Maori orators. Very great quantities of pork, kumaras, pippiee, and other native delicacies were consumed. M»»T workers spent the afternoon decorating the hall where the dance was held wit* ferns and festoons of willow. The HOB- . Dr. Pomare and Mrs. Pomare were pre-
sent, and many pakehas attended. The Xgaruanahia races are being held\ today in conclusion of the three d»y»' festival.
