CONCERT AND DANCE.

The concert and dance held in the evening proved a great success, the takings at the door amounting to over £17. The floor for the dance was in good order, but the crowd was rather too great for dancing. Twelve couples entered for the waltzing competition, which was won by Mr Johnson and Miss M. Taylor. The music for the dance was provided by Mr and Mrs Beesley, and extras were played by Mesdaines Hartley and Taylor. During the evening Mr T. Taylor, the president of the Club, presented the football medals to the winners, and the points prize to Mr Gardner. About midnight a plentiful suppsr was handed round. The gathering broke up at about 3 a.m., after spending a most enjoyable night. Appended is a list of items of the concert, the accompaniments to which were played by Mesdames Beesley, Hartley, and Hollard, and Misses Melville and Robinson: Overture, pianoforte duet.
