THEIR MANA GONE.
VAUDEVILLE MAORIS GET WARM RECEPTION. By Telegraph—Press Association. Auckland, Saturday. The Star's correspondent at Rotorua states that no party of natives welcomed the Maori troupe of entertainers when they arrived by the express last night. The natives proceeded to Whakarewarewa by a special 'bus. There was a hostile demonstration, which proceeded from heated words to blows, followed their arrival. In trying to protect Papakura from a blow one of the party had an arm broken in three places, while old Meta Taupopoki had his head cut open with a stick. A general melee followed, but no further serious casualties are reported. The feeling of hostility amongst the natives at Rotorua against the leaders who were responsible for the band journeying to England has been steadily growing, and culminated last evening in the fracas, which was a distinctly unpleasant form of reception after a year's absence.
