TE KUITI.

Our usually quiet township bore quite an animated appearance on Monday, the 27th ult. It was reported that a special train would run in advance of the ordinary passenger train, depositing at Otorohanga, on the way to Mokau, Wirth Brothers' Circus, and returning to Otorohanga after picking up passengers at Mokau' and Te Euiti; but no such train put in an appearance, and those who had made up their minds to go by special train to the Circus were greatly disappointed. However, we were not to be crushed altogether, for our host and hostess, Mr and Mrs Perry, had all arrangements completed in connection with their dance, which was held in their spacious hall, being well attended, several ladies coming from Cambridge, Hamilton and Ngaroto. The music was supplied by Messrs Sibley, Nor, h and Proctor. At midnight refreshm- nts were served round, and all seemed to enjoy the many good things provided. Mr Donovan as M.C. was the right man in the right place. Dancing was kept up with pclat until 5 a.m. lam not an ackpt at tne.business, but will do my best by briefly describing the dresses worn by some of the ladies present : — Mrs Julian, pink net and cream roses, a very handsome costume ; Mrs Knight (Ngaroto) looked very neat in a brown dress ; Mrs Perry, black dress ; Mrs Tanner, all black; Mrs T. Short, dark dress ; Miss Perm (Hamilton), a rich dark dress ; Miss Low Cambridge) wore a neatly -fitting grey dress; Miss Perry, black dress, maroon sash ; Miss F. Perry, pink sateen and cream lace; Miss !;. Perry, white muslin, pale blue sash ; Miss Tanner, white and blue ; Miss Mill' r, white dress; Miss E. Hetit, white and blue. How is it Miss C. did not come to the ball last Monday night? Was it because Davy can't dance, or was it not good enough for her ? Wasn't ma delighted with. 'my pet's ' dancing ? It.'s a pity her leg 1 ? are "so long. Didn't J.E.. make himself very officious on Monday night? What was his lay at all ? Weren't H.Gr. and J.R. piling it on with Martha ? One of them took the hint well when she said two was company and three was not. Who was the belle of the ball ? I think honours were divided between Edith and Mrs Kawi. Why didn't some of the platelayers dance with M.M. ; were they afraid of the long fellow outside the door.
