MAORIS AND AMERICANS
(P.A.) AUCKLAND, January 1. A New Year's Eve which they said they could not quickly forget was spent at the Ngaruawahia Maori Pa by a large party of officers of the United States navy and Marine Corps. They went at the invitation of the Maori King, Koroki, who was represented by his aunt, Princess Te Puea. The American party was led by Captain S. D. Jupp, senior United States navy officer in New Zealand, who with all his officers showed the utmost pleasure at being given a chance to enjoy a new experience. They equalled the Maoris in their courtesy and paid them very high and sincere compliments on their singing and dancing, and were amazed at the standard of native craftsmanship they saw in the carved meetinghouse, Mahinarangi, and in the king's house, Turango, which is joined to it. .
