THE BODEGA

One of Wellington’s! most famous | eating-houses, the “Bodega,” in Lamb- | ton Quay, is being very popularly con- j ducted by Host Brice, and successfully, j too, for he knows what’s what, having been managing steward for the Welling- j

ton Club. It is quite unnecessary to say that the Bodega is an up-to-date luncheon and supper rooms, for everybody knows it is ; or that you may have luncheon, tea, and supper between noon and midnight, or that the establishment lias apartments for private dining and supper parties and attractive tea rooms for ladies, because everybody knows that, too. It is the house for the elite of the City and recently the Old Boys of the Nelson College, having decided to have a reunion, celebrated it at the “Bodega” by holding their first of a series of annual dinners, at which no less than eighty turned up all of which “old boys” who now reside ir in our Empire City, many of which are our leading citizens. Prominent at the

dinner were Mr A. R. Atkinson, exM.H.R., Air J. P. Firth, Principal of the Wellington College. Mr A. Heine, second in command there, Mr A. Wyllie, a well-known gentleman of the long robe, Mr C. B. Mo risen another “learned friend,” Mr J. M. Butt, a wellknown ex-banker, Mr T. R. Fleming, chief of the Wellington Education Board’s inspectors. Colonel Chavtor, Captain Seddon son of New Zealand’s most illustrious statesman. Mr P. Bunny. barrister. Mr J. C. Andrews, of the legal firm of Hammerton and Andrews, Mr J. W.
