The last of the series of dances arranged by a committee and enjoyed by the Benedict Club members was held in the Rewa rooms on Friday evening, when there were about 45 couples present. Exhibitions were given of the two old-time dances, the maxina and the hesitation waltz. It was also announced that although this was the last dance in the series the evenings while being most enjoyable had been very economically managed and the funds remaining in hand were sufficient to permit the running of another evening to complete the season. A yote was then taken to ascertain what manner of entertainment would be most popular, a picture party, supper and: concluding dance being decided upon, to be arranged on lines similar to last season’s final.
