A euchre party and dance was held in the Uruti Hall on Saturday evening, and a very enjoyable evening - was spent. The proceeds wore in aid of the hall. The euchre prizes were won by Mrs. R. Radcliffe and Mr. E. A. Jones. Mr. W. L. Larsen had the misfortune to meet with an accident near Mr. F. Aubrey’s, at Tangitu. The car he was driving went over a bank and turned over three times, coming to rest in a creek right side up. Mr. Larsen was very fortunate in receiving only a “ducking?’ The ear needed the attention of two lorries. The car was slightly damaged, but was able to proceed under its own power. The Uruti Sports Club is making final arrangements for the ball which takes place on May 14. On May 2 the electric lights will be switched on to the hall and a euchre party and a long-night dance will be held to mark the occasion. All radio enthusiasts were disappointed on the evening of the Grime-Dono-van fight. There was a band of troublesome static. However, it is hoped that the onditions for the forthcoming event at Dunedin will be more favourable.
