Visitors from all parts of the district attended, while many were present from other parts, including Wanganui and Palmerston North. A feature of the ball, and one which produced much favourable comment, was the very tine decorations. Tho committee had devoted much time and labour to the scheme, and the effect was certainly striking. Among tho myriad coloured streamers hanging from the ceiling, lights of blue, green and red glowed softly, making quite a fairyland-like effect. The walls wero tastefully decorated with ferns and other greenery relieved at intervals with largo mirrors. M.D.R.C. (Mangaweka Defence Rifle Club) shone out in largo colours at the end of the hall. The stage was turned into a charming setting with fdrns and subdued lights. During the evening the president of the club, Mr H. Johnston, presented the various trophies won during the year. In thanking those present for their support, he wished everyone a pleasant and enjoyable evening.
