DEATH OF NOTABLE MAORI CHIEF.
HEAD OF NGATIWHAKAUE Hotanta, March 2G. A noted chief of ancient lineage, Kiwi Te Ainohau, passed away yesterday morning, after a lingering illness, from heart disease. He was the head of the Ngatiwhakaue tribe. He will he remembered as a man of dignified demeanour and splendid physique. He was always spokesman for his people and surpassed by few as an orator, his speeches being studded with imagery and evidence of keen observation. He was about 70 years of age, and until late years was always leader in hakas and war dances. As a sportsman the late Kiwi Te Ainohau will be greatly missed, especially by the local Rugby Union, of which he was a life member. In his yorngcr' days he was a capable whip, driving a four-in-hand for Mr. E. Robertson. = It. was his grandfather, Temura Te Ainohau, who, at a big meeting in the Waikato, sturdily opposed the King movement, and it was mainly owing .to him that the Arawas always kept aloof. A tangi of large dimensions is now being held.
