Musical items were rendered by Miss Mary (iibnour, Miss E. Beadle, and Mr J. Bone, and recitations by Mies Healey and Mr T. Thomson, j During the evening Mr Bone, on behalf of the Nursing Division, presented Miss Hooper with a gold bangle as a token ; of esteem, and referred to her long connection with the division and to tiro work accomplished in connection with tho St. John ambulance work in this city. ! Miss Hooper, who has been connected with the division since its inception in 1895, and for 12 years lady superintendent, | thanked those present for the beautiful gift, which sho said would serve as a re--1 minder of their work together. She trusted j they would hold together in tho future as j they had done in the past. Sho thanked | the officers for their loyalty and help i during her term of office, and assured the | division that they were being left in good ; hands under their new lady superintendent • (Mrs Forrester), who would be ably sup--1 ported by the officers. | Mr W.
