DAIRYMEN'S BALL.

SECOND ANNI AL GATHERING. | "Something out of the usual in an ! evening's entertainment" was promised in the invitations to the dairy- j men's second annual ball, which was j held last night at the Winter Garden, j f.nd the committee faithfully kept its j promise, for the ball, which was one of the largest held in Christchurch this year, had many appropriate distinguishing features. The members of the Bailey-Marston orchestra, which supplied tlv- r .'.i:, wore milkmen's spotless white coir-, a cow's head hung over the st a pictures of "Daisy,'' "Strawberry." "Brindle." and other farmyard favourites adorned the walls, and on the small tables in the alcoves were tiny red and white sugar cows. Much amusement was caused by a "cow" which capered and cavorted round the ballroom, between dances, and the distribution of streamers and balloons added to the general air of gaiety. Exhibition dances were given by Miss Jewell Todd and Mr Sidney Hollis, and by Miss M. and items were also given by Mr H. Vincent. The members of the committee were Messrs M. Ryan (honorary secretary), T. Williamson <treasurer), J. Harris, D. Burke, and J. Noonan, all of whom must have worked hard to arouse so much interest in the ball.
