An action on the part of some Maoris at Whakarewarewa on Sunday last would seem to call lor the attention of the police (says a Rotorua exchange). Armed with some ancient tickets, printed some 10 or 12 years ago, two Maoris stationed themselves at the bridge and disposed of these tickets to visitors who desired to cross the structure and thus gain access to the Government reserve after paying the toll exacted by the Tourist Department. Amongst other words on these tickets sold by the Maorris were “ admission to all baths,” but the purchasers were informed that the amount asked for—one shilling—was for permission to cross the bridge.
