Famous Chief Dead,

A famous Maori chief, Hori Ngatai.
died the other day at Whareroa, New
Zealand. Some remarkable scenes
took place when visitors and terri
torial officers paid a visit to where
the remains of the chief lay in state.
I The mayor and councillors Of Tau.
ranga were received by the friends of
Hort Ngatai, volleys were fired by a
party of Maoris, and afterwards war
dances were performed. The cere-
monies were carried on into the night
long after the visitors had left. With
the death of this famous chief an i'm
portant parsonage in the native popu-
lation has disappeared, Hori Ngatai
fought against the whites at the Gate
Pa and TIE Renga. but afterwards took
a prominent part in the peace nego-
tiations, and II was largely because
OF his great influence with his own
people that friendly relations were
established between Europeans and
the Maori races. When the duke and
duchess of York (now King George
and Queen Nary, visited Rotorua.
Hori Ngatai received them and pre-
scented the duke with many valuable
presents.
