AHAURA BALL
A PRONOUNCED SUCCESS. The eagerly awaited ball of the Ahaura Tennis Club eventuated last Friday evening, and was a pronounced success in every respect. In spite of adverse weather conditions the hall was thronged with happy dancers, the ball drawing patrons from a very wide area, testifying to the ever growing popularity of the Club’s annual function.
The success of the evening reflected great credit on the Committee and an energetic band of willing helpers. With effectively shaded lights and the stage beautifully decorated with palms and large bowls of chrysanthemums, the hall presented a picturesque appearance. In the supper room, where a delectable supper was served, the tables were gay with chrysanthemums and dahlias.
