London Fur Co., Tekapo Buildings, Stafford St. North | AIR PILOTS’ DANCE. 'me letters T.A.P.C., on a black background, the badge of the Timaru Air Pilot’s Club, was a feature in the decorations of the Bay rooms last night, when, to celebrate the opening of the Club, the members held a very enjoyable cabaret. The decorations were carried out in a novel style. Myriads of tiny streamers woven in and out were stretched across the ceiling. At one end hung the two silver wings of an aeroplane, surmounted by the Club’s badge, and decorated with the Club’s colours, black and silver, were ranged along the wall.

The committee—Messrs W. E. Clarke, R. Richards, B. Watt, G. Buckley, A. Craig and E. D. Moore — were untiring in their efforts to make the cabaret an enjoyable one, and with the usual efficiency of airmen they saw that everyone had a good time. Two prizes, aeroplane trips round Timaru, donated by New Zealand Airways, were given for the winners of a statue dance and of a Monte Carlo dance.
