As each party arrived they were received with the customary native greetings. Amongst the visitors to-day were representatives of the Taranaki tribes. Tomorrow a large body of Ngati-poris headed by Sir Apirana Ngata will arrive. Tuesday’s visitors will include a large number of Ngati-kahungunus (Hawke’s Bay) natives.
