NATIVE CEREMONY.
BAN ON SUNDAY PERFORMANCE. NEW YORK, Dec. 1. Messrs Thomas Cook and Son have informed the Press Association _ that intending passengers on the Carinthia on her proposed world tour are seriously disappointed at the missionaries' refusal to allow an exhibition of native customs when the vessel calls at Port Moresby on April 16, because it is a Sunday. It is pointed out that not only would some £SO be distributed among the natives for the ceremony, but that the interdiction will seriously interrupt tourist traffic, which is increasingly interested in New Guinea.
it is understood that an appeal will be made to the Australian Government to authorise the Administrator to allow tribal dances on tluj Sabbath.
