PRESENTATIONS.

The School Committee of Bromley invited Mr and Mrs Thomas Andrews to a banquet in the schoolroom last Friday evening, when upwards of thirty sat down to a capital spread provided by the ladies of Bromley. Mr Eobert Walker occupied the chair, and Mr , Freeman the vice-chair. The chairman proposed™ The Guests of the Evening, Mr and Mrs Andrews." He said that for thirteen years -Mr Andrews had resided in Bromley, during eight of which he had been a member of the school committee, and by his obliging manner gained universal esteem. He regretted the loss the district would sustain through Mr Andrews having to remove to Christchurch on account of pressure of business. Mr Andrews suitably responded. The chairman presented Mr Andrews with a silvermounted pipe, bearing an inscription. Songs, recitations, &c, enlivened the proceedings. At the Kaiapoi Clothing Factory on Saturday morning Mr J. Banks, on behalf of the employes, presented Miss M. Norcross (who is leaving the employ of the Company) with a handsome gold bangle, set with crescent and stars of sapphires and diamonds, as a token of their kindly feeling towards her and good wishes for her future welfare.
