(From Our Own Correspondent.) SANDON, Nov. 21. A happy surprise evening was spent at the residence of Mr and Mrs T. H. Williams on Tuesday, tlie occasion being the 21st birthday of their daughter l’hylis. On the arrival of the party, little Mildred Currie presented the guest of. the evening with a dainty posy. Mr C. Eglinton expressed the good wishes of those present and handed Miss Pliylis Williams a large gold key, on which the names of those present had been signed. Mr J. Currie endorsed the remarks of Mr Eglinton and asked the guest to accept a pair of crystal vases. The recipient was taken completely by surprise and thanked all for the good wishes. The health of the guest was honoured. The toast of “The Ladies” was proposed by Mr E. Lumsden and responded to by Miss A’Court. Mr Williams expressed his thanks for the kind wishes and said he would like to especially, thank Miss A’Court and Mrs Mitchell for organising the function A very happy time was spent with music, song, and story. Among those present were: Mr and Mrs T. 11. Williams, Miss Phylis Williams, Mr George Williams, Mrs I.' A’Court, Mr and Mrs A. Mitchell, Mr and Mrs C. Eglinton, Mr and Mrs J. Currie, Mesdames E. J. Bowater, J. Coulter and A. Anderson; Misses A. Bowater, H. A’Court, Gilligan, L. Gedye, P. Hope, B. Lumsden, G. Adams, M. Coulter, E. Hope, L. Lumsden, Mildred Currie, June Eglinton, and Lois Currie; Messrs J. Smith, E. Lumsden, P. Gedye, N. Robinson, and Masters J. Coulter and Bruce Mitchell.

The team to play High School at Feilding on Saturday will be selected from Reeve, Murphy, Kent, Lumsden, Andrew, Meads, Montgomerie, Conwell, . Sadler, Smith, Brock, McElroy and Hancock.

It was pleasing to note the improved team playing for Feilding B on Saturday and they were a trifle unlucky in not scoring a straight out win. The veteran F. Dewe batted solidly and was well supported by Ruddell. With Reid, Allen, and Gibbs playing regularly, other teams will need to step lively. For Sandon Meads and Reeve were best with the bat, but the latter was lucky. Kent and McElroy both bowled well.. Sadler was out of luck, being, run out in the first innings and in the second he was bowled by a trimmer.
