A figure which attracted considerable attention and whose identity caused not a little speculation from the large crowd which visited the Foxton races on Saturday, was that of Miss Nita Rosslyn, better known as “The Girl in Red,” who was an interested spectator on the lawn in company with the Mayoress (Mrs. M. E. Perreau). * Tennis Dance. A dance held under the auspices of the Foxton Tennis Club on Saturday evening proved to be a most successful one, the Masonic hall being sompleteiy filled with dancers who spent a most enjoyable time. Tho duties of M.’sC. were carried out by Messrs R. Read (club captain) and A. Anderson, and the music was supplied by a professional orchestx-a from Levin, extras being contributed by Mrs. M. A. Ross. During the evening a lucky Gad Gordons dance was won by Mr. A. Tayior and Miss 11. Hartley.
