MILITARY BALL

FOURTH FIELD BATTERY GAY SCENE AT PETER PAN An event which was looked forward to with a great deal of interest was the annual military ball of the officers, N.C.O.'s, and men of the Fourth Field Mattery (How.), N.Z.A., and the-com-mittee of the College Hides Club, which was held in the Peter Pan Cabaret last evening. The dark blue and red colour* of the College Rifles Club, the New Zealand Ensign and the Union Jack were used to decorate the central pillars in the ballroom, while a novel idea was introduced with black and white caricatures of typical army types which adorned the orchestral dais and the walls of the cabaret. Picturesque military dress uniforms were worn by many of the committee and guests and further military effect was given by the programmes which were cut to represent the New Z_ealand artillery badge.
