TE AWAMUTU.

NATIVK JJKWS. At a meeting held on Thursday at Korakanui, the Xgatihauas objected to the boundary survey. As far a* I can learn, their desire is to have tlie sub-divisions made tir>t. H;uiamn, who at hist sided with l»c\\i dud W.ihnnui, has turned round, and now sides with the Ngatihauas. What, his leason.s .vie it would be difficult to say. I don't think lie kno\v.s himself. At any rate the two leading rangitiras take very little notice of the objections, and say the survey will not be delayed a day by them. A poison .signing hiiifeolf Moßeth teleginphed from WelUugton on the sth to Kewi, Wahanui, and Taonui, to the effect that they would leceive new.-, fioin abroad, and to sign no documents. What object he could have for doing so i> more than I can say, peihap-* it is from an innate spirit of mischief. However, the recipients of the message took no notice of it. Possibly he is a member of that mischievous and meddlesome clique, " The Aborigines Piotection Society/ Whoever ho m.iy be, hi^ action is dosoiving of cenauie, as he evinces a desiie to upset Mr Bryce's plans for opening the countiy, an event which has been aidently desired for a long time. The Maoris aie not foolish enough to give much heed to advice from people of whom they know nothing, so Mcßeth was at the expense of sending a \isele->n telegram. MISOKI.LAXKOUS. Some of the leading cricketers are endeavouring to make arrangements for a sorie-v of matches to be played with the Auckland clubs during the holidays. The team which they are endeavouring to get together is to be a lepresentative one. If satisfactoi lly arranged, they will leave for Otahuhu on the 17th, and play that club, then the Auckland clubs, leturning on the 24th. The weather is still very wet, and likely to continue so for some days. A southeaster .set in on Thursday, and has continued till to-day (9th). There is plenty of glass, which, no doubt, has increased the supply of milk to the factories. I made a mistake in my last in stating that the Kihikihi sports were to be held on Boxing Day, It should have been New Ycar'.s Day, as the committee do not desiie to clash with Ale\andi,i, where sports will be held on the 20th. — (Own Conespondent.)
