Too Bad. At a meeting of the Tawhiao reception committee to-day, it was stated that the canvass for subaciiptions to defray the cost of the Maori kings »nd their followers' visit to Auckland had been responded to most liberally ; but a telegram has been received rendering it almost certain that Tawhaio oannot be induced to come, he and his people returning from Mercer to Ngaruawhia to-day. The uncertainty of the visit of the young Princes has weighed against Tawhaio'a visit.
