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.
