Spencer, Mrs Larson and others, and community singing by tho company passed a pleasant afternoon. Among tho guests were Mcsdamcs James Baxter, Hallam, E. .T. Spencer, Brown, Larsen, Bade, Barnett, and the Misses Seifert, Larsen, Duncan, Low, Crowther (2), Newton and Mrs and Miss Dittmcr. The health of the hostess was proposed by Mr H. Brown, brother of Mrs Venn, and [drank with musical honours. A sumptuous afternoon tea was partaken of and two beautiful birthday cakes, the gifts of Mrs Brown and Mrs Bade, wero cut.
