Mr Geo. Henn having challenged the Wairoas’ showman to prove that he is not using a reed to mimic the nine voices, Ye Okie Knglisho Pnnoh and Judv Show will be put on at His Majesty’s Theatre, just before the second part of the Kete of Nations, on Thursday night, when a committee of citizens will he asked to supervise the exhibition.
