THE YEAR'S BEST HOLIDAY. For 26 years Ngaruawahia Regatta has been.a unique attraction on St. Patrick's Dav- Maori pois and hakas, big_ canoe and canoe hurdle races, a host _of sideshows, rowing races, and Highland dancing have drawn tens of thousands annually to the pleasantest picnic ground in the province, where tie Waipa River meets the Waikato. This year's regatta, on Saturday March 17, will prove once more that this' combination of an old English fair and an ancient Maori gathering more than ever deserves the verdict "There is nothing like it in the Dominion." There are luncheon booths on the ground, hot water is free, and excursion train* run from everywhere. Be there! $
