NAPIER.
This day.' The Hon. John Bryce was burnt in effigy last night at Waipawa." The effigy was placed on a white horse at the head of a long procession. The Town Band played the dead march. On reaching the river bed the figure was fixed to a stake in the centre of a pile of firewood. The effigy then was addressed as the first white man who- had shaken hands with the archfiend Te Kooti for fourteen years. : A fire was then lighted, and the whole was burnt amid groans and a display of fireworks. ,
