GOVERNMENT HOUSE BALL

(A! BRILLIANT EUNCTIOST. Government House and its surroundings were en fete last night, and pre-! sented a brilliant ensemble during the j progress of the State ball, to -which some 800 guests w«re invited by their Excellencies Lord and Lady Islington. Tile limitations of the building itself for the accommodation of such a number were overcome by the temporary erection of marquees and canvas additions, while the decorations and special lighting arrangements completed the transfiguration of the vice-regal residence. The spacious unroofed verandah running along the front of the building- was for the occasion turned into a commodious supper room, the roof and walls of -which were of green canvas, and under the radiance of electricity and large numbers of candles, the tastefully decorated tables, at which about ?XX) guests could sit at one time, presented an exceedingly, attractive appearance. The partners in the official set of the opening lancers were: Lord Islington and Mrs. Godley, Lady Islington and General Godley, Hon. E. Mitchelson and Mrs. S. Thorne GeoTge, Hon.
