Presentations at Makuri Yalley.

A couple of presentations took place last week at Sefton Farm (Mr John Dick s residence), Makuri Valley, in which Mrs Dick and Mr George Winter were the very worthy reoipieuts. The presents consisted of a very handsome silver and china butter disk of costly design and suitably engraved to Mrs Dick, and a valuable silver-mounted pipe to Mr George Win ter. The latter article, it is ueedless to say, was soon tested by that gentleman. The articles were specially selected by Mr Mur thy (chairman for the occasion), who in presenting the articles made a very happy speech. In response, Mr J. Dick expressed his great surprise and pleasure at t Mr« Dick receiving such a valuable gift; More so its it was the second presentation to her by the bachelors, who last year gave her a cruet. He also expressed a hearty wish for tho success of future socials. Mr Winter in response thanked the bachelors for the present lie had received, which was certainly a pleasant

surprise to him. A vote of thanks was accorded to the chairman. Those present then indulged in dancing, and after a sumptuous supper the jolly gathering closed with “ Auld Lang Syne.”
