The many 2; town visitors spending holidays with country friends considerably augmented the attendance, and the fact that ; : *«between sixty and seventy cars were fi parked outside the hall proved how i ( ihc dance was patronised by people 3 .from all parts of the country. .^rt«<»gj rea^nei ; g an d greenery, gay paper ; bats ribbons, balloons and confetti added quite a- carnival touch, to the

scene. Music was supplied by Pennell’s orchestra, extras being played by Mrs Malligan and Miss Kathleen Darragh. When the clock sounded the final moment of the old year, hands were •joined during the singing of “Auld Lang Syne.” Cheers welcomed in the new year, and then the merriment j continued.
