BAINESSE.

(From Our Own Correspondent.) BAINESSE, Aug. 9. The event that all the children look forward to for months ahead took place on Friday evening, when their fancy dress dance once again was successful. The arrangements were carried out on the same lines as for the past six years. Mrs Gray (head-teacher) and Miss McKenzie, whose capabilities of presenting a bevy of well trained children were displayed in a very marked degree, are deserving of credit. It gave the much pleasure. The children occupied the floor until ten o’clock and they not only enjoyed themselves, but imparted pleasure to the onlookers. The three Maori girls, Barbara Tamiti, Myra Fitzgerald and Hilda Drury, gave splendid donees and were encored time after time. Maypole dances were a special feature and very cleverly done. Canoe drill was a new and novel inclusion and altogether tho teachers must be congratulated on the highly successful affair. Adult dances ,during tho latter part of tho evening were enjoyed, the music being supplied by Miss McKenzie, Mrs Governor and Messrs Millard and Itonberg playing extras. Much time was taken up by the committee preparing the school for the function and the catering proved a heavy task, but the children’s night passed off successfully. Mr M. J. Ryan, tho chairman, thanked Mrs Gray and Miss McKenzie for tho success attained to which Mrs Gray suitably replied. Messrs Russell and Jones won a competition, and Mrs Te Rangi and Mr T. Brown a spot waltz. A .Maori party gave vocal items during the evening. Mr Ryan acted as M.C.
