A CONTRAST.

In an article on the great gathering of Satires at Te Ore Ore, the Wairarap* Daily says Forty • years ago a similar meeting was held at the same spot, and there are among the visitors how at Or? Ore two or three old who were present on the former occasion,

Then the whole of the Wairarapa belonged to the Natives—-now but a small tithe of it remains in their hands. In 40 years hence, we assume, the period will have arrived for another Meeting, but then will there be a thousand Maoris to be got from north, sou h, * east, and west to attend it 7 Or will s ~ w "'j>ingle acre of Te Ore Ore call a Moari i)js master? We expect not. The a /borkinal race is being civilised off the of the land. Visitors to Te Ore Y<pr? cannot fail to be struck with the magnificient physical proportions of many of the Natives assembled there. The stock from which they came must have been a good one, and it seems a pity that a fine people should have to move slowly and silently off the land of their forefathers.” In conclusion our contemporary says :—“Visitors to Te Ore Ore cannot but notice the kindness, - the hospitality the geniality, and the sobriety of the large concourse of Natives,. It might almost be said of these Maoris, as of the Highlanders, that each one of them is a gentleman ; we feel sure that all Europeans who.:, visit the scene will find them act as such and that an equal amount of courtesy, would not be found in any equal numberof Europeans.” ,
