ENJOYABLE DANCE. One of the most enjoyable dances ever held in Masterton was that of the Oddfellows’ Lodge in the Masonic Hall last night. There was a very large attendance, the floor being packed for each dance. The excellent floor at the Masonic Hall added to the pleasure of the dancing, while the music supplied by the Gaiety Orchestra was splendid, encores being the order of the evening. The M’s.C.
