HAWERA.

Dear Bee November 11. The Hawera Mounted Rides gave their ANNUAL SOCIAL which was a decided success, crowds of visitors from all round the district being present. There were almost too many for comfortable dancing. Songs were given by Mrs Major, the Misses Cowern and Mr Godfrey. The supper, provided by the ladies, was most sumptuous. Some very elegant dresses were worn, and the hall was prettily decorated with flags, but there were not so many uniforms as one would have liked, to see. At last we have warm weather, and tennis as soon as the grass is dry enough. The Hawera Tennis Club gave a very enjoyaole EUCHRE PARTY and dance in aid of the Club funds. There were twenty tables, and much fun was caused when the first table happened to be occupied by quick players, as the bell would ring before some of the tables had dealt their cards. I must not forget to mention some of the dresses. Miss Fantham wore cardinal silk; her sister, pale lemon silk; Miss Monro, heliotrope; Miss N. Turner (Patea), pink and green: Miss R. Duckworth, yellow bengaline trimmed with black velvet and lace (very elegant); her sister, black with petunia silk sleeves: Miss Cowern. white ard pink silk; her sister, cream lace and pale blue feather trimming; Miss Hylton, grey silk crepon, gloves and shoes en suite : Miss Dive, black velvet and white chiffon ; Miss Lysaght, Misses Bayly (two). Misses McClean. Harris, Richardson, Parsons. Oldfield, and Miss Turner, rose pink silk ; Mrs Barton. Mrs Atkinson, Mrs Tom Sutherland, Mrs W. Cowern, Mrs Parsons, Mrs Duckworth. Mrs Riddiford. black: Mrs Westeura, black silk and pink velvet; Mrs (Dr.) Reed, brown and pink : Mrs Nolan pink silk: Mrs Major, very handsome ruby silk and black lace; Mrs Southey, Mrs Tonka, Mrs Munro. Mrs Miller, Mrs Alex. Brett, cream and gold.; Mrs Morey, Mrs Munro (Patea), etc, etc. THE AGRICULTURAL AND PASTORAL SHOW was very largely attended. The dav was fine, and we had no less than five M H.R.’s—Mr Duthie, who is staying with his son-in-law. Mr Millar (Bank of Australasia). Mr La wry. Mr McGuire, Mr Wilson, and our own member. Mr George Hutchinson. We are to have Mark Twain here soon, when I hope to have something most interesting to write about in my next letter.
