BALL

The committee had spared no effort to ensure the success of the function, and the general results should be very, gratifying to the promoters. An enjoyable programme of dance music was rendered by Sharpe’s Orchestra, and with the assistance of Mrs AV. Seed, Miss Mabel Guy and Mr Rex Larsen, who played the extras, dancers were well catered for. Alessrs R. Guy and O.
