HUNTING GAIETY PREVAILS The Feilding Drill Hall on Wednesday night was the sceno of much gaiety when the Manawatu Hunt Club held its annual bail. The committee, consisting of Messrs. S. G. Perry, L.

Scott and tho energetic secretary, Mr. 53. Lodge, left no stone unturned to make tho ball a success which it undoubtedly was. I The decorations, which were carried out in the club’s colours of red, green and purple streamers suspended from the centre of tho hall, where clusters of balloons in bright tones and mutlicoloured lights, added the finishing touch to a very effective decoration. The walls were white against which red, green and purple horse shoes and happy hunting scenes were depicted. The stage arranged as a loungo was heated while here and there were huge bowls of berries and autumn leaves. The supper tables were artistically decorated with huge silver cups of red berries, autumn leaves and purple irises. Mrs. T. R. Taylor, assisted by Mrs. L. H. Collinson, Miss Perry and Mrs. Higgie, was responsible for the decorations in the hall and the suuper-room and they are to be congratulated on their efforts.
