TIKORANGI INGLESIDE

SUCCESSFUL FUNCTION. The popularity' of old-fashioned dances, to which spice is added by Scottish measures, proved a great attraction to the people of the Tikorangi district when a second ingleside was held under the auspices of the New Plymouth Caledonian Society last night. The Tikorangi hall was filled. Streamers and greenery lent the hall a carnival air. In the absence of the chief, Dr. D. E. Brown, the chieftain, Mr. A. Bankin, was played in by Piper Goble. In declaring the dance opened he extended a welcome to all. In due time, when the vigorous dances had begun to weary, the haggis was borne around the hall by Chieftain Bankin in all ceremony, while Pipers Goble and Black piped right merrily.
