DEFENCE RIFLE CLUB. Dull light and a changeable wind interferred with shooting on the open range on Saturday, aud scores were as follow:

XMAS AT FLOCK HOUSE. Under fhe auspices of the W.D.F.U., Mrs. E. R. Brice and Miss Simpson organised a Christinas festival gathering at Flock House on Friday night, and a party of some 40 young ladies came along to provide partners for the lads in training there. Th© visitors were welcomed by Mr. Grey, the .headmaster; Miss Samson, matron; and Mr. Lees, manager. Apologies were received from Mr. E. Newman, 0.8. E., Mr. Pointon (late of the staff), and many ex-trainees. The dance opened with a Leap Year innovation, each lad leading his partner, to the accompaniment of music in the gardens. The dance through artistic groves and pretty walks proceeded merrily, and was a fore-runner to other dances inside. During intervals in the dancing various items were given, Misses Cameron and Wilkie singing a duet (in character); Miss Patricia Collier contributing two dance solos, one, “Sur les pointes” a classic, and the other a National dance. Miss Adele Nitschke (Bonny Glen) rendered songs, and Mr. Tom Barton caused much amusement- w r ith an eccentric tap dance, Miss Taaffe playing the accompaniments. A Palmerston North orchestra provided delightful . music, and Miss Taaffe played extras. After a sumptuous supper, the visitors were shown over the buildings, the party concluding at midnight with Auld Lang Syne and Good Night Ladies, a part song capably rendered by the boys. Cheers were given for Mrs. Brice and Miss Simpson for organsing such an enjoyable gathering. PERSONALS. Mr. and Mrs. V. Broughton, of Wellington. are the .guests of Mrs. C. M. Broughton, Bulls.
