PROGRESSIVE EUCHRE.

The fascination exercised by the gameof progressive euchre is snown by the number of parties at which it is

now the event of the evening. Major and Mrs George fell victims to the euchre epidemic, and gave a moat charming party on Friday at their residence, Wapiti, Auckland, when reallyexcellent play was enjoyed. Mrs George is a capital hostess, and attended assiduously but unobtrusively to her guests, a most successful evening being the result. Eight small tables were scientifically arranged round two rooms. The players drew their numbers and started operalioas, when the fun became fast and furious, especially for the one who was blessed with an exceptionally bad partner. About half-past eleven the bell rang to close the game. it was found that Miss Stevenson (of Christchurch, who is staying with Mrs George) had won the tea set,and Miss VonSturmer the booby prize, a handsome silver candlestick. Amongst the gentlemen, Mr J. C. Hanna won a small alarm clock, and K. Lockhart the booby prize, a globe of the world. When such good trophies are given for booby prizes who would not try for them 1 Many of the ladies and gentlemen came to the conclusion that progressive euchre was better than dancing.
