WOOLSHED BALL (Herald Correspondent.) On Thursday night another popular woolshed dance was held under the auspices of the Catholic Church at Mullaney's woolshed, Takapau. Steadily falling rain failed to dampen the enthusiasm of the dancers who attended from all parts of the district. Red, white and blue streamers hung from the rafters in the form of a large bell, the tongue of which was represented by a bunch of coloured balloons, while the work-stained walls were concealed behind tastefully arranged native greenery. A delectable home-made savoury supper was served by an energetic committee of ladies, at the conclusion of which Mr. A. Joyce, on behalf of the church committee, thanked all those who had helped to make the dance such a splendid success. Mrs. B-. Lincoln, who presided at the piano, was ably assisted by Messrs. Joyce, Moore and E. Robison, and enjoyable extras were rendered by Mrs. F. Cleary and Miss Merle Holmes. Miss Eva Hale was heard' in several delightful songs. A Monte Carlo waltz competition was won by Mrs. E. Ski lien and Mr. T. Atkins.' A large and beautifully iced cako was won by Mr. Hitchener in an estimating competition. Those present included Mesdames A. Joyce, F. Cleary, E. Dever (Mangaroa), M. Sayers, R. Craill, B. Lincoln, R. Lincoln, E. Slrillen, O. G. Jamesi, D. Sloane, J. Murphy, A. Cranswick, J. Mullaney, 0.
