"The gift of the Waitangi estate by Their Excellencies to the people of New Zealand has awakened a sense of profound admiration in the minds of the Maori people," said Dr. H. D. Bennett at Wellington. He had the authority of the Bishop of Aotaaroa, he said, to say on behalf of the Native race that the announcement of the gift had stirred the imagination of the Maori people throughout the length and breadth of New Zealand. In the political field, Waitangi was a star in the firmament. For their worthy and thoughtful act, Their Excellencies' names would ever retain a warm place in the hearts of this and future generations.
