The following days will be devoted to sports and entertainments, with tribal meetings. A hockey tournament under the jurisdiction of the East Coast Hoekey Federation will be played on the New Plymouth airport grounds and the finals on Saturday at Waitara. There will be Rugby football matches on Thursday and Saturday, that on Thursday being Taranaki v. Wanganui Maoris and the Saturday match will be East Coast v. other Maoris.—i(P.A.)i
