Sea Scout Dance. One of the most successful gatherings held under the auspices of the Lyttelton Sea Scouts was the dance organised to raise funds to send the local Sea Scouts to the annual gathering of Sea Scouts at Wellington at Easter. The dance took place in the Excelsior Hall on Saturday night, and there was a very large attendance. Music was provided by Miss D. Jones's orchestra, and extras were played by members of the orchestra of the s.s. Mataroa. The financial results of the dance are stated to have greatly exceeded even the expectations of the Dance Committee. Licensing Committee. The quarterly meeting of the Lyttelton Licensing Committee was held yesterday. Present: Messrs H. A. Young S.M. (chairman), F. Knights, W. T. Lester, D. Mcßae, O. Bradley, and F. G. Norton.
