Pavilion at a society function: "You can't make me believe all them are New Zealanders!"

Highly complimentary remarks have been passed by visitors to the County Hotel, Stratford, during the past week in reference to the renovation of the big dining room at this leading hostelry. The walls have been repapered in an attractive color design, surmounted by a white frieze, while the ceiling and panels, which in themselves' are pretty examples of the natural grain in the wood, have been revarnished. The whole appearance reflects credit upon the workmen, and is in keeping with the high standard of the County maintained under the management of Kirkwood Bros. The most striking feature of the dining room, however, .' iS the display of palms, than which there is none better in the Dominion. These comprise specimens from Cocos Island, and Kentia and Saga (Japanese) palms, which are always greatly admired, especially by the clientele from overseas.
