RONGOTEA

(From Our Own Correspondent.) RONGOTEA, Sept. 9. The well established popularity of the Rongotca Football Club’s annual ball was again shown by the crowded hall on Wednesday night. The scheme of decorations, designed by Mrs A. D. Scott, was distinctive ; tlio original handling of familiar materials resulted in effects that, surpased anything of the kind previously seen jin Rongotea. Centred with a canopy, in j which the colours of all the clubs in the iTe ICawau Sub-Union were displayed, the I results were most effective. The supper was a choice one; the long tables made a pretty sight with the display of edibles and bowls of spring flowers. During an interval in the dancing the trophies won by the senior toam were presented. Mr G. Goldfinch expressed regret at the unavoidable absence of, Mr H. J. Fagan, president of the sub-union. The MclColvio Shield and Fagan Cup were handed over by Mr R. Hill to the captain of the winning team, Mr J. Kitchen, who said they had held both trophies in previous years and hoped they would be fortunate enough to win them again in the future. He expressed satisfaction at the high standard of play among all the clubs, during the past season and thanked the ladios for their unremitting efforts to assist the club at all times. Cheering was indulged in, after which dancing was resumed. Regret was expressed that the donor of the shield (Mr J. F. McKelvie) was unablo to be present.
