MORVEN. (From Our Own Correspondent). The harvest ball held last Thursday evening in the Morven Hall, in aid of the Hall funds, was from every point of view , a great success. About 90 couples were present. The Grand March was led off by the chairman, Mr J. K. Blair and Mrs Blair. The dresses worn by the ladies were very pretty, and made a grand effect. The stage was tastefully decorated by the Committee with evergreens and sheaves of grain making it look like a real harvest home. The music supplied by Smart’s Band, of Oamaru, was all that was desired, the time and quality of the music supplied being excellent. Mr P. Connell, of Tawai, as M.C., fulfilled his duties in a capable manner and kept the dances going merrily till after 2.30. ,

The chairman, Mr J. K. Blair, in a neat speech, thanked the ladies for kindly supplying the refreshments and especially the ladies’ committee, for the magnificent way in which they carried out their duties in the supper room.
