NAPIER.

Dear Bee, November 26. Mr Arthur Sidey, who is leaving for Dunedin, was entertained by the NAPIER LIEDERTAFEL on Saturday evening, and an excellent programme of glees, duets, songs and recitations was performed in a hearty manner. During an interval Mr T. Morison, on behalf of the Liedertafel, presented Mr Sidey with a handsome desk clock with calendar and thermometer combined, to which Mr Sidey duly responded. Mr Maginnity contributed excellent accompaniments, and a most enjoyable re-union, lasting till 11 p.m.. when all joined in ‘ Auld Lang Syne ’in true orthodox style.
