VISIT TO SYDNEY
.PRINCESS TE PUEA CANOE AND PARTY OF THIRTY [fkom nun own coiirkspondextl HAMILTON, Monday If the necessary arrangements can bo made, Princess To Puea Herangi hopes to accept the offer made to her by the Sydney sesquicentenary celebrations committee to visit Sydney in January, taking with her a party of ,'SO Maoris from her pa at Ngaruawahia and one of the Maori war canoes at present under construction. The committee has also promised its assistance should Princess To Puea, after her followers have fulfilled their obligations in connection with the celebrations, carry out a proposal to tour the Australian States, giving concert programmes as was done recently in Auckland and North Auckland. This latter trip, due to a variety of misfortunes, was not as successful as was hoped, but it is thought that with the interest aroused by the appearance of a Maori war canoe on Sydney Harbour the Australian tour would be more fortunate. Any funds resulting would be used in furtherance of the Princess' plans to celebrate New Zealand's centenary.
