AUDIENCE WITH MAORI AT THE HOME OF MRS. A. P. TAYLOR.

In the upland of Manoa, at the home of Mrs. A. P. (Ahuena) Taylor, at “Luana Pua,” an audience was given in honor of the Maori of New Zealand living here in this town. Present were a great many Hawaiians where they spent a great amount of time last night socializing with the malihini, and comparing the old Hawaiian stories with the stories of the Maori people.

This is the second time that the Maori showed up at the home of Mrs. A. P. Taylor. On this night, because of the wish of these malihini to have abundant time to meet and speak with descendants of the great families of Hawaii nei.

Present were the descendants of the Kamehameha and Kalakaua lines that night, so too were some kamaaina possessing deep knowledge of the history of the Hawaiian lahui to satisfy what these malihini desired.

Within Mrs. A. P. Taylor, as well as within all those who gathered last night, was the wish to acquire the genealogy between the Maori and the Hawaiian people, matching the stories memorized by the Maori people, who actually believe that the Maori came from Hawaiians by way of Hawaiians sailing from here to New Zealand.

That night was spent in discussion between the malihini and the kamaaina, while the group enjoyed some music, as light refreshments were served to all who were invited.
