There was a large crowd of admirers present, who thoroughly enjoyed themselves. The music supplied by Boulton’s orchestra, was up to its usual excellent standard, and the supper and floor of the best. The hall was most tastefully decorated, and looked very pretty indeed. Messrs Wills and Gibbons carried out their duties as M’s.C. in their usual very efficient, manner, and gave every satisfaction. During the evening extra dances were' played by Misses Leech, Symes, Hudson and others.
