The president, Mr H. J. Tod, occupied the chair, and said the meeting was railed to decide “whether we hold a ball this year or not.” Personally, ho thought, even though things as ere not too good at present, it would nut improve matters by shutting down and cutting out their bit of enjoyment altogether. The ball had been a brilliant sucess in the past and was looked forward to as the event of the season. The ladies were mainly responsible for the good results attained and he knew they were heart and soul “after the ball.” He therefore moved “That we hold the ball as usual.” This was sec ended by Mr 11. Nation and carried by acclamation. It was decided to hold the ball on Friday, July 24, at Drysdale. The officials appointed were: -Direc tor of music, Mr 11. Nation M’s.C., Messrs J. D. Lilburn ami R. Hartley; doorkeepers, Messrs C. H. Reynolds and R. Lock.
