KAPONGA LODGE BALL

ODDFELLOWS’ ASSEMBLY

POPULAR, THREE HUNDRED ATTEND. The Kaponga Manchester Unity Oddfellows’ ball on Thursday was one of the most successful held in the Kaponga town hall this year, there being an attendance ol' about 30 b people. Many of the neighbouring lodges sent full quotas of representatives. On behalf of the Kaponga Lodge Bro. W. Man- welcomed the visitors. Ho said that, after a lapse of two years, the young members had decided to revive the annual function, and under the capable secretary (Bro. Gilbert) they promised to make it a success. This it assuredly was and the lodge was very gratified at the result. The speaker referred to the many advantages of lodge membership in eases of sickness and distress. The D.G.M., Bro. E-. G. Woodley, expressed pleasure at seeing such a large attendance and complimented the Kaponga lodge on its enterprise in organising sucii an attractive evening. The Manchester Unity, he said, had risen up from small beginnings, and now, alter 125 years, there was a membership of over 2,000,009 in Britain, while in New Zealand there were 34,000 members. He had a pleasing duty to perform, that of presenting a framed diploma and Oddfellows’ emblem to Sister M. Evans on attaining the highest office in tlio lodge, that of Past Grand. He congratulated her on the attainment and hoped she would long treasure the emblem.
