The dresses of those who j wore fancy dress were bright, dainty j and original, and the popular vote of . tiio.se present went to Miss Mary Forman as "Spanish Dancer," and to Mr Albert Welch as "Rats." 'During the evening a presentation of a silver tea service was made to Mr and Mrs T. Wyeth in recognition of the ! many valuable services they have alI ways remlered for the wekare and amS usement of the district. In giving the ■ present, Mr E. W.
