NEW PLYMOUTH.
Monday
At about 5 p.m. Rewi and his wife and children were driven into town from Waitara, and afterwards Taionui, one of the principal chiefs of the tribe, with his wife, was driven in by Mr Walker, of Auckland. They put up at Cottier's Masonic Hotel, and Mr Sheehan invited the Mayor and a few of the principal settlers of the place to meet them. On assembling, Mr Sheehsn asked Mr Parr is to drink the health of Mr Rewi, which he did. Rewi replied that he could not speak out his thoughts on the impulse of the moment. He had only just arrived in town, and could not collect his thoughts to make a speech at any length, but would drink to their healths. Mr Standish • (the Mayo?) , then proposed Rewi's health, and welcomed him to New Plymouth.
' Uewi and Taionui and their families go to the Star Pantomime Company to-night, and leave by train for Waitara in the morning.
Mr Sheehan will likely be here till Friday.
Rewi and other natives were invited by Mr Standish to his house to tea,, where they went,. and from there, proceeded to the theatre..
