We have been so often taken in by farcical performances iu the matter of Maori entertainments that we went with some misgivings to St. George's Hall last night; where we were told that we should witness something really genuine. We went and were highly diverted. A lengthy programme was given 'by about forty performers from the Ngatimarit and Ngati Tamateru tribes. The Maoris, men and women about equally divided, were neatly and uniformly dressed,, the former in white jerseys and pants, and the lattei> very gay and effective costumes The principal items in the programme were ii number of pantomimes, in which were enacted, to the music of an etlieient orchestra, the various occupations of. the Maoris, such as fishing, harvesting, &e. Some very reiiiarkableinoveinents were performed under the exciting eloquence of the old chief, Haora Tupaoa, while Tc Rocra gave a lucid description of eacli item in good English, and led oil'the movements. Perhaps tlie most popular feature of the evening was'the dancing of about a dozen buxom wenches under the able leadership of Mrs Taipari. The extraordinary movements of the " haka muscle" were quite new to a majority of the audience, and this part of* the entertainment had to be repeated several limes. We understand there is to be a complete change of programme to-night, when we hope our dusky brethren will do good business, as they'richly deserve success. A man named Chas.
