Hutchins, secretary, with a strong committee, deserve great praise for the success, both socially and financially, of the function. Mcsdames G. S. Bridge and F. Cleary, and Messrs. S. Grantham and T. Renapai were the musicians; Mr T. Jackson was M.C., and Mr F. Donaldson had charge of the euchre tournament. Prizes won during the evening were presented by Mr G. S. Caulton, who congratulated the team on their success attained at •basketball, which, he said, was one of the finest games for girls. On behalf of the committee he thanked all

who had helped to make the evening such a happy one, also Mrs Wright for making a cake which was competed for, and Mrs Richardson for icing it.
