DECEMBER 25TH 1874.
On the 25th December 1874, The Meeting of the
Committee of the Wananga was held, letters with
100 signatures was looked into, their price was 5
shillings for one year, and another letter with 100
signatures, their price was 10 shillings for one year.
There was also another letter with 5 signatures at £1
If the paper increase, and if it decreases 10 shillings.
There was also another letter with 5 signatures at
£1, here ended the letters.
The Chairman then called that the speaking
should commence, it was proposed that it should be
a pound. The second raised and proposed it to be
10 shillings, when the Chairman called for the votes
were 30 at 10 shillings, and 24 for £1, so it was
settled to be 10 shillings.
The paper will be published twice a month.
The Wananga will not go without he is called,
and fed, and shewn respect to, then he will call in,
but if he is only called by the voice of a person he
will not go, a bird must have feathers before it flies,
the Wananga it like, that also.
We have received a letter from Hakiriwhi
Purewa, of Maungakawa Waikato. Nov. 25th. 1874.
Stating, that Ngatihaua held a Meeting for the
Wananga, and voted that the Subscription for the
Wananga is ten shillings per year, and also elected s
Chairman for the Committee, viz., (Tuhakaraina,)
second (Rapata Taeke.) When the returns of all the
votes of different tribes of the Island are settled, on
we will send the names of the Subscribers and Sub-
scriptions which we have mentioned.
From the Committee of Ngatihaua.

To Henry Tomoana, Friend, salutation to you.
Will you insert my words in the Wananga, so
that our Maori friends can see them, because I have
seen that the Wananga calls but to give some burden
on board aa a load for him. Here is mine, which I
send, It is a head of a dream, I was setting at the
verandah of my house, I heard a woman's voice crying.
I listened where is this woman who is crying, but
shortly I heard a rumble, then 1 looked and saw it
coming with no clothes and still crying. There came
outside of the verandah of my house, and stood, her
skin was black, when I asked the woman, what has
been done to you, she said,
treated her, it is thus you
then I felt sorry for the
she had received from her children. Her second
word was, if it were not for her last child, she would
have been killed, but perhaps by an bye the said
child might beat her yet, when he gets out of his
wits. But friends let us not be like this dream, and

be like (Tumatauenga,) and his brothers, who turned
round and ill-treated their father and mother, like
(Ranginui) (Heaven) and (Papatuanuku,) (Earth)
but I think that ill-treatment was good. Here is
where I think the good lies, is our coming to this
world, during to the present ill-treatment of her
children, perhaps this woman might die, and leave
her children desolate to be baffled by the breakers (or
tide ) On the (Matihe) (sneeze) ridges, and there be
scorched on by the sun, blown by the winds, and be
beaten by the rain, So there is the good, the persons
are like a moth (purehurehu) who see that there is a
light (or fire) and fly to it. Elderly people do not
let us be like the moth., but a persons knowings will
never pass, "by gold and silver," Sufficient of these.
Here is another, I see by the Wananga, it bids every
canoe (or tribe) will vote for the price for the paper.
Here is mine, it is you that should inform us the
price of the paper, per quarter, per year. For I am
anxious to have a paper, that is all, from your friend.

To the Wananga.
Friends, we have received your notice, and also
to other parts of the Island to different canoes of each
tribe, my word to you and the Committee is, I agree
that 12 papers per year should be sent to us, and in-
form us the Subscription, this is only the word of this
canoe (Matatua.) The Wananga salutation to you the
person who worked the Maori press, in that part of
our district at Napier, it is not the property of one
individual, but for all the tribes. This is all of my
approve -words to our press, friends. I also assent to
your words, Magistrates, and policeman, perhaps for
each tribe, by and bye, your friend is pondering, wait
till the end of December, let these canoes, ponder, but
postpone it to the month after December, this canoe
(Matatua) is a stranger, namely the (Urewera,) insert
my words to our friends of the Island by the press.

DECEMBER 31ST 1874.
During, the past week the Maories in this neigh-
bour have given, themselves up to the enjoyments of.
the season, viz., Horse racing and the various Fetes in.
different township's, on Saturday the 26th inst., we
all met at Havelock, where/all the principal races
were carried off by. Maori horses. Great dissatisfac-
tion, having been expressed by all Europeans at this
race, owing to the Jockey of Lady Grey having pulled
her up so as to allow another horse to win the race,
belonging to the same owner, we on behalf of the
Maories wish our European friends to know, that it
is never with the consent of the Maoris that any of
their horses are pulled up. When they start in any
race it is always the owner's wish to see them win,
whether the stake is large or small.
The Pakowhai Native races were on the follow-
ing Monday and here as in Havelock all the races
were carried off by Maori horses except one. Every-
, thing passed off satisfactorily to all on the ground,
and as no intoxicating liquors were allowed, it was
unusually quiet for a race course. We think this is a
lesson that might be well considered by our European
friends, all the rows on any race course that we have
. seen have been caused by too freely imbibing strong
drinks. We must not take the credit of the conduct-
i ing of the Pakowhai races to ourselves, for we were
ably and skilfully assisted by a European friend, A.
Danvers, Esq., whose decisions gave universal satis-
faction to all, and to whom in recognition of the his
kindness we presented, as a very small token, of our
regard a present, viz., a gold albert guard.

At Clive on Boxing day one of our boys belong-
ing to the Pakowhai School took first prize for dancing
against three other competitors one whom we have
heard had gained a prize before. We have been
somewhat elated on. account of these successes, and
nope that soon we or our children will be able to com-
pete with the Europeans in other things besides
sports.
Three of the boys who have been attending our
School at Pakowhai will soon go into Napier to learn
a trade. Two of them have chosen to be black-
smiths, the other a shoemaker, their life for the
future will be totally different to what they have
been accustomed to and we would earnest ask their
friends to encourage them in every way so as to
give them strength to carry out what they have
begun. It is by this way and this way only that the
Maories will in future years be able to compete with
the Europeans.

To the Editor of the Wananga Salutation to you.
Here is the visitor of ancient date of the 4th of

There is provision from on board of the (Arawa,) we

When Tareha and Mete Kingi was wronged, but
their wrong was right, think of Adam and Eve, the
Law is God, and some that administer the Law is
Satan, and there is several works that are a pressure
to this Island, friend the Wananga, a word of the
Laws says in the Waka-maori. He is the guardian,
and parents to assist and guard our several sicknesses,
and difficulties on persons and the Land, and the
mind thought it was true, and to the present day we
have seen it is bad, look to the 23 Chapter of Exodus
8 verse. The sentence, you shall not take the
beguiling payment it will blind you the beguiling
payment, it will make your eyes look in a different
direction from the words of the true persons.
Secondly. the Treaty of Waitangi, the said Treaty
was (Ngapuhi's) own ideas, we heard it from our
parents, the person of that Treaty was Charles
Davis, own bad • thought, and to the present

Thirdly the conference of Kohimarama, all the
chiefs of this Island were there, the word that was
settled there, was that (Aotea oa,) was a float on
the waters, the people and Land died, and the wrong
settled, and what wrongs have the tribe on the
Government side has done, to send here this Satan
lizard, C. Davis to take the Lands of the Government
tribes but it is perhaps as the proverb say's. If a
quarrel is inland, it is thrown on the Sea Coast, it is
right he is in the wrong, the Messenger, or summoner
you know.
Fourthly, voting for Members, friend it is right,
but they should not be chiefs only, of different tribes,
but seek the intelligence in the chiefs and all other
persons. These are the returns for some of the words
in. the Wananga, but after a while -when we receive
words, we will forward them, here is another, the
working of the heart. I am like the man who as
just risen, I have not heard the least in these days,
the singing of the beautiful birds, which, we saw in
former days, in the beginning of the year 1838. The
Messengers came to our parents, they had a carved
(Mere) in their hands, this is the (Mauri-tapu) Holy
Heart, was closed this day to our ancestors, and they
caught, peaceful, and in peaceful was born the Lord
like a person, he had a round (Mere) in his hand, by
which he ill-treated, the wife of (Whai-tangata,) then
the fountain of food drained, the years of the (Wha-
ka-huruhurutanga) of the Land is to come, and also
caught the rules, and also Wisdom, in the one fountain
of water, were the salt and fresh water both flowed
from.
The salt water was seen by its likeness, the
fresh water was seen by the Wisdom, looking to its
Lord (Whaka-tangata), and partook of the likeness,
and also the left side of the woman who shewed
kindness to persons, then they paired stuck in his
(Mere,) then the fountain of people and Land drained,
and came from the one mouth, the blessings and curse.
James the 3rd Chapter the 10th verse, the new year
of our Lord 1873, the beginning of the year and
the beginning of the word, by which the likeness was
laid from the sea, the roads are open on the Land,

This letter is not very clear, it says, that it was
Charles Davis, who made the Treaty of Waitangi, at
the Bay of Islands, and perhaps that is not C. Davies'
work, taking away your Lands, perhaps it is not
taking away, some of yours, perhaps the Maories
desired to sell perhaps that is the way that C. Davis
came to work, it may be a desire of yours to have a
drink of the water of Siloam, (Hiroama,) and the
people hereby drinking at the lake of Siloam, (Hiro-
ama.) are overcome.

It is not the Europeans fault about the grog,
spirits are spirits, a man's throat is man's throat, it
was the throat that desired, the spirits, spirits is not
a thing that will fly to the belly of a person, it is a
thing that is quietly drunk, and it is by money that
you will receive it, and it is by spirits it causes the
person to seek for money, and that is the way the
Land will be consumed. It is not by the Laws, and
it is not taking it by force, that it is gone, but it is a
longing: for the food, like other tribes who have
consumed some of the Lands.

NOTICE.
TO HOP GROWERS.
A man who has had considerable experience in
Hop Growing in England, wishes for an engagement
either in this Province or near at hand. He would
undertake to select and prepare the ground for next
season's planting. Land near a bush, preferable to
open ground, if any Native wishes to begin hop
growing, he would instruct at the same time any of
their young men, so that in a short time they could
manage for themselves.
For terms &c., apply to F.M.M.
