CHILDREN’S PARTY.

PUPILS BY MRS E. PATERSON. There was an attendance of over one hundred children and a large number of parents at a most enjoyable fancy dress party held in the Oddfellows’ Hall on Friday night. Besides lolly scrambles, a splendid programme of games was arranged for the children by Mrs Paterson as well as numerous competitions.
