AKARANA ASSOCIATION.
REFERENCE TO HOSTELRY,
PROPOSED SALE RESENTED,
A troupe of seventy or eighty Maori people is scheduled to visit Auck-' land early next month to give a num/ter of special entertainments. It was reported at the meeting of the Akarana Association last evening that arrangements had been made to billet the party at the hostelry '"Waipapa." Members expressed the opinion that despite the changing surroundings at the hostelry, it was still fulfilling a useful purpose as a residential quarter for visiting Maoris, who found it very central. The Collector of Customs advieed that of the 30 Asiatics, who arrived by a steamer recently none were admitted as permanent residents, and nine had been banned. A letter from the Minister of Lands on native land bettlenient was discussed, and it was urged that the Koheroa block should be retained for native selection only. The following telegram of congratulation was sent to-day to Archdeacon. Williams: "We greet thee on thy appointment to the bishopric as a eup"porting to Te Aotearoa. Let the new net gather up the fish."
