Friends from Apiti, Table Flat, Fokangina aud Aiount Richards accorded the happy couple musical honours after Mr. B. Al. Flavall presented them, on behalf of those pre-

sent, with a large number of gift parcels. Mr. Aliller returned thunks. A delicious supper was served by the ladies of Utuwai. At midnight this cheery event was concluded by the singing of “Auld Lang Byne,” followed by the -National Anthem.
