About 500 natives assembled at Whati-Whatihoe' this morning to meet Mr Bryce, as he came over the river. Tawhaio stood up and said, there would be no talking this day, as Mr Bryce was only coming over to see the people assembled to meet, him. This was only a friendly meeting, one in which the people could learn to know Mr Bryce. Then Tawhaio greeted Mr Rrjrce. * The latter said he was content to welcome his friend Tawhaio; if the •latter w.ou]d accept him as such. "With his aid he could do a great deal, of good, without, little. He would speak frankly, as he always did, and if Tawhaio did the same' thing, the cloud that had .separated the two races would disappear. Tawhaio said he was glad of this frankness, and would be equally so. The people then dispersed, this being only the day of greeting. Later in the day Bryce gave Tawhaio a gold railway pass over the N.Z, railways for life, as a present forhimself. Tawhaio accepted the gift.
