[1] THE IDEAL VILLAGE

{The conclusion of the speech by Reweti Kohere in 1897, printed in Numbers 47 and 49.)

If the business of horse racing was only a matter of horses running and not of drunkenness, gambling and theft, I would urge setting up a racing club in the Ideal Village. I have said that the Maori are a people who want to play, therefore let us think of some proper and good recreations in order to bring an end to their sad occupations and to get people together.
