HOCKEY CLUB BALL.

Annual Dance Held at Southbridge. LARGE NUMBER OF GUESTS. The Southbridge Town Hall was the scene of gaiety on Thursday evening, when the Southbridge Ladies’ Hockey Club held its annual ball. The hall was tastefully decorated with blue and white streamers, the club colours. There was a large attendance of dancing enthusiasts from all parts of the district, and many from neighbouring counties. The Rialto Orchestra was in attendance. A large number of spectators occupied the dress circle. Messrs J. Howatson and C. Free were Al.C.’s. The success of the ball was largely due to the joint secretaries, Misses T. Lilley and Z. Chapman, who had the loyal support of the other members of the club. Representatives were present from Brookside, Dunsandel, Leeston, • Irwell, High School and Lincoln Clubs. The supper was pleasingly served, members of the club waiting on the tables. The catering was in the hands of Air T. H. Bennett. The lucky spot and Afonte Carlo competitions were both won by Aliss Woodard and Air Ford. Players for extras were Airs Ford, Miss Alexander and Air Tom Lawlor.
