Dear Bee, August 5. The first of the ANNUAL WINTER DANCES was held in the Theatre Royal on Friday last, and although there was not a large attendance, it passed off most successfully.

Among those present were Mesdames Wood, Carlile, Coleman, Nairn, Logan, Hamlin, Donnelly, Fenwick, Bullock ; the Misses Gertrude Nelson, Watt (two), Cotterill (two), Heath, Cornford, Donnellv, Hamlin, Wilson, Tanner, Kennedy, Macfarlane, Wood, Balfour, Maclean, etc. ; Messrs Hill, Parker, Macfarlane, Brabazon, Grunmitt, Bradley, Saxby, Crowley, Hughes, Cornford, Dinwiddie, Kennedy, Nelson, Russell, etc. A EUCHRE PARTY, inaugurated by Mrs Dewes, was held at the Kiosk on Tuesday. There were ten tables, and those present enjoyed themselves immensely. After the euchre was over there was dancing, which was kept up till an early hour of the morning. Some of those present were the Misses Kennedy, Balfonr, Macfarlane, Heath, Hamlin, etc., Messrs Brabazon, Parker, Macfarlane, Cornford, Dinwiddie, Saxby, Hughes, etc. Among those present at the euchre party given by Mr Lyndon in honour of his daughter's wedding were the Misses Morecroft, Hamlin, Balfour, Wood, Cotterill, Wilson, Cornford, Kennedy, McGowan, etc., Messrs Parker, Saxby, Hovell, Brabazon, Dinwiddie, Cornford, Macfarlane, Kennedy, etc.
