The evenings talcke the form of old time dancing, with a '.special area of the hall curtained off for the card enthusiasts.

Keen interest was displayed in the aggregate euchre prize competiiion. the ladies’ section being won by Mrs E. Tristram and the gentlemen's by Mr W. Young.

The waltzing competition, which was run for five weeks, drew record entries, and was closely contested, the decision finally going to Mr Hooper and Miss Carrie. Popular dance music has been supplied by Messrs W. Ruck (pianist) and 11. Webster (violinist), with Mr J. Fox fulfilling the duties of M.C.
