AERO CLUB BALL,

The Feilding Aero Club was favoured last night by exceptionally congenial weather conditions for its ball, and another complete success was scored. Although the attendance was not as large as had been expected, the spacious Drill Hall was comfortably filled, a considerable number of visitors from neighbouring centres swelling the ranks of the local dancers. The decorations of the hall had been tastefully carried out by a committee of ladies, who had not been lacking in any effort to make the function one to be remembered, their work in regard to the supper also being universally appreciated. The floor, during the dancing, presented a gay scene while the music supplied by a professional orchestra gave every satisfaction.
