Horeke

Mr C. Schrafft was the guest of honour at a farewell party, held at the home of Mr and Mrs Rose, of Horeke. There was a large gathering present. Bridge and 500 were the chief features of the evening. The winners of the former were Mrs Middleton, and Mr W. Blundell, while the consolation prizes went to Mr and Mrs L. Murray. The 500 -winners were Mrs McLaughlin and Mr Hulme, while Mr and Mrs Dudley annexed the consolation trophies. Prior to partaking of supper provided by the ladies, Mr L. Harris, in a neat speech, presented Mr Schrafft with a fountain-pen on behalf of the local golf club, of which he was president. Most of the club’s success had been due to his never-failing energy. A further presentation followed, by Mr Blundell, in the form of a cheque from the Waihou Tennis Club, of which Mr Schrafft was a member. The speaker also took the opportunity of thanking Mr and Mrs Rose for the use of their residence for this most enjoyable function. Personal. Mrs G.
