Maori Comps

The annual Maori Competitions in the Opera House attracted considerably greater entries than in previous years, necessitating their being run for an afternoon as well as a night session.

Much of the increase was due to the interest shown by school groups in the district, many of whose members were European.

Outstanding performers of the day were the celebrated Waihirere senior group, who won the premier trophy, the Tamararo Shield.

The junior section was won by the combined Girls' and Boys' High Schools, and the primary, by L.D.S.
