MILTON NOTES.

[From Our Own Correspondent.) MILTON, August 29. PERSONAL. The partnership hitherto existing between Messrs R. M. Rutherford and T. C. Marshall, as barristers and solicitors, practising locally as Reid, Rutherford, and Marshall, has been dissolved. The business will in future be conducted by Mr Rutherford, under the title of Reid and Rutherford. ODDFELLOWS’ BALL. The principal social events of the current season wound up with the annual hall of the Loyal Milton and Loyal Victoria combined Oddfellows’ lodges, which was held in the Coronation Hall, Milton, on Friday evening. The attendance easily established a record for Milton, and numbered 164 couples, thus taxing the floor accommodation rather uncomfortably. The Grand March was led off by the Noble Grand officers of the respective lodges, Bro. R. Cockerill and Sister M'Kinney. Visiting lodges were strongly represented. The district executive was represented by D.P.G.M. Bro. Johnston and representatives were also present from Dunedin, Balclutha, Mosgiel, Kaitangata, and . Port Molyneux Lodges, and the local Foresters Hibernians, and Masonic Lodges were also represented. Music was supplied by a Dunedin orchestra of six instrumentalists. POLICE COURT.

A first-class programme of vocal and instrumental items was submitted, and was greatly appreciated. A dance waa held at the conclusion of the concert programme.
