A visit to the Waitomo caves was signified, by the entrance of a ballet of Miss Jean Scott’s pupils in “The Glow-worm Ballet.” “The Porter’s Tap,” by Nola Cooper, was enthusiastically encored. An exhibition of the sailors’ hornpipe was given by Misses G. Nicholson and L. Ford. Numerous novelty dances were held, prizes being awarded as follow:- —Lucky number destiny, Mrs Fuller and Mr L.
