Accident. On Sunday an accident occurred in the Taupiri Gorge. It appears that two horsemen were gallopiug round the bend entering the Gorge, when one of them collided with a buggy. driven by Mr.C. Lovell, of Taupiri. The vehicle was so damaged as to necessitate its being left at the roadside. It is probable that a court case will result from the incident.
Native Festivities. The Waahi Maoris are still much in evidence. A tangi or two, visitors from Kaipara and other parts being causes for much feasting, band playing and general jubilation. Thursday last was the anniversary of Mahnta's coronation day and to-day Te Whero Whero and a number of Maoris arrived from Taranaki Dancea in both Maori and pakeha styles have been in plenty. Among the visitors are a band of advocatee of the .so-called •* new religion," which appears to be a mixture of Hauhanism and Christianity. —(Own Correspondent).
