KING KOROKI
CORONATION ANNIVERSARY. CELEBRATION AT HUNTLY. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) AUCKLAND. October 8. Wet weather considerably marred the celebations of the seventh anniversary of the coronation of King Koroki, which were held in Huntly today. At Waahi Pa, Huntly West, many guests, including a number of officers of the Maori Battalion at Hopuhopu. were entertained with hakas and other Maori dances. Princess Te Puea Herangi, of Ngaruawahia, who was one of the guests, handed over to King Koroki £lOOO, which she and other helpers had raised during the last 12 months for Red Cross funds. This money was later officially given through an interpreter to Mr A. E. Gibbons, president of the Waikato centre of the New Zealand Red Cross Society for the centre's trust fund. A further cheque for £5O was handed to the mayor of Huntly for the Huntly Patriotic Committee's Funds. The money had been collected among the Maoris at the celebrations.
