(From Our Own Correspondent)

The grand ball, which had been causing so much interest, took place on Friday, and was most enjoyable m every way. The cold wet night was responsible for a smaller attendance than was catered for; but the hall was comfortably filled, which was much better (from a dancer’s point of view) than a crowd. The music by Newberry’s orchestra was all that could be desired, and the floor was in good ordei\ ivhile the supper was voted “the best le Kin has had.” Between .50 and 60 eoup'es sat down to supper, and, as there ueie so many trifles, salads, etc., over a second supper was set later in the evening, or rather early in the morning. Messrs McKinnon. A. Hodges and o. Marshall acted as M’s.C., and the decorations were the work ol Air 11. Clements, assisted bv Alessrs AA . Coxhead and J. Templeton, and were great'y nelmired. The scheme started from a red-slmded light in the centre and alternate ted and blue streamers twisted and crossed to the wall, forming a lnrne dome, which was very effective. The electric lights were .shamed with red also, as were the windows. J lie new supper room looked very nice, the tables laden and decorated with spring flowers, violets and violas. A urge ladies’ committee managed the supper arrangements, the members being Mesdnrnes Templeton, AVeymss, Horgan, Hughes, Saved, Gilbert, Collms, Coxhead and Aliss Lindfe, assisted by Alessrs AVeymss. Templeton and C-ox-head. Kxtras were kindly played by Misses Street, Collins and Coxhead and blaster AA r . Coxhead, while Air Newberry sang a comic song, Miss Jrio' *anti recited, and one of the orchesera played a violin solo. , . . The finished supper-room (which is match-lined throughout) should help ,-r.„ t’.v to keep the dancing floor in good order, as it will he used for all meetings, church. Sunday school, euchre parties, and also the school children’s practices for concerts The School Committee is having a big night on August 7, including a special picture, local and Opunake ta’ent for the concert, and a dance with special music. The funds, of course, are in aid ol the school, and given a fine night the entertainment should attract a large attendnace.. The Farmers’ Union is holding a nail on August 14 in Te Kiri Hall.
