Owing to the queen-elect being ill, the crowning ceremony has been postponed until next month.

The Ratapiko Football Club’s annual dance was held in the hall on Tuesday, when there was one of the largest attendances that has ever congregated in the Ratapiko hall. Visitors were present from Stratford, Inglewood, New Plymouth, Tariki, Kaimata, Pukeho, Tuna and Midhirst. The hall was gaily decked in the club colours, green and gold, paper streamers being hung from a centre piece to form an umbrella effect. Large ponga fronds were artistically arranged around the walls, and across the end of

the hall goal-posts were erected, with a football suspended in the air as if making a flight over the cross-bar. The Schnieder Shield, which was won by the team this year, was also given a prominent place among the decorations. The colours were again displayed in the supper room, the tables ■ being decorated with spring bulbs and greenery. ...

Non-dancers were catered for with,, a euchre tournament which, was controlled by Mr. Roy Therkleson. The prizes were won by Miss Jean Young and Mr. Tom Eversfield.
