LADIES’ NIGHT AT SAVAGE CLUB. Last Saturday evening the wahines of the great Nui Paremata tribe uonned their bravest attire and repaired to To Whare Rununga, which had been artistically decorated by the braves of the tribe and changed into a veritable fairyland of tree ferns festooned with colored lights, streamers and bal’oons. The throne, of the great Rangatira was aweinspiring with its draperies, representative of the finest native carvings, and when the great chief, attired in all the barbaric splendor of the Scottish race, and heralded by the piper with the bagpipes and by chieftains carrying the insigna of office, entered Te Whare. the delight of the wahines knew no bounds. The address of installation to the great chief, Savage D'Arcy Robertson, was read by Savage A. L. Moore, and much appreciated for its wit. and then the most thrilling event of the hapu took place. A band of picked warriors in war-paint, head-dresses, mats, and miris. performed an amazing haka under the leadership of Atua. Even the splendid items of song, recitations, part songs, and orchestra were quite dimmed by the memory of the haka and the facial expression and waiteke attitudes of the warriors. The wahines of the tribe were very grateful to savage C. Wynyard, who responded so ably on their behalf, and also to W’ahine D. Bedford, who so gracefully paid the tribute of her savage sisters to the great Rangatira. After a sumptuous supper, served in true savage custom, the braves and their wahines danced together under the waving fronds of the pungas. Many and varied were the steps that charmed the eyes of those wahines to whom the art of fox-trotting is an unknown pleasure. WEDDINGS. KING— SMITH.
