The New Zealand cricket team was also present, and the Prime Minister's reference to them received by far the warmest applause during the afterdinner speeches. . After dinner, and before the dancing began, an excellent cabaret show was presented. Jhe ball continued until 2 a.m. with the usual accompaniments of balloons and streamers.
