WAIKAKA NOTES

On Wednesday of last week the harvest home ball was held in the Waikaka Hall, A char-a-banc and many cars brought a large crowd from Gore, and the young people of the district attended in large numbers. At times the floor was too crowded for dancing. Wallis’s Orchestra (Gore) supplied the music. The duties of M.C. were ably carried on by Messrs Rankin, Kelly and Corcoran. On Friday evening the friends of Miss J. Nicholson gathered at the residence of Mr R. Burns for the purpose of giving her a gift evening on the occasion of her approaching marriage.
