Advice put forward, \Vitli no odier motive but that ox the betterment of the Maori race, was given by Mr Hope Gibbons (Mayor of \\ anganui) and Mr j. S. Barton, S.M., at th'3 welcome tendered the visiting natives at Arohauui Pa on Saturday evening. According to an exchange, Mr Hope Gibbons said that while trave ling, in Japan he nad attended an important conference, and had there noted the striking similarity between the Maori and the Japanese! people. There; was one big thing, however, which the Maoris had to learn from the Japanese, and that was application. Mr Barton said he had been told that the meeting was the first step in a. forward, movement for the I Maori people. He would present one j idea, and then leave it with those present.

That some efforts should be made to reduce the eels in the streams around Wellington, in view of the destruction they caused among trout, was the view expressed by Mr G. C.

It was also stated that where a water hole ivas dynamited for fish .it took fully three years j before trout were again able to live in j it and obtain their natural food. “Bishop Williams said the Maori had excellent brains, but his hands could not co-ordinate with his brains,” said the Hon A. T. Ngata at Wanganui, when lie exhorted the young Maoris in conference' at Arohanui Pa to strive for the welfare of their race (says the “Wanganui ChronioV.”)- “If he could co-ordinate his hands with his brains,” continued the Maori legislator. “he could move mountains.
