CHRISTCHURCH.

Dear Bee, August 20. The week of gaieties has been more like a November gathering than Grand National race time. The weather the first factor to be considered has been most propitious, and the only blemish has been the indisposition of Lady Ranfurly, who came down expressly to take part in ail the functions, and was only at the first day s racing, and has been confined to her room ever since. However, Lord Ranfurly has worked doubly hard, not only attending races and balls, but has visited our schools, the Technical College, the Jubilee Home, the Kennel Club’s show, played a game of golf .with Mr Leslie Orbell, and a Vete-ans’ Home meeting.

On Wednesday evening the Savage Club held a “korero” for their lady friends, when a large gathering took

place at the Art Gallery. Lord Ranfurly, Captain Alexander, the Hon. • Hill-Trevor and Mr Mounteney Jephson were present for some time, the latter giving some of his experiences when accompanying Stanley through Africa.

Was there ever such a triumph in ball-giving as that given by the Mayor and Mrs. Wigram in the Canterbury Hall on the 15th August to celebrate the Coronation of King Edward VII.? Echo answers, Never. The hall, with its spacious corridors and many smaller rooms, lends itself so admirably to any large function. A portico over the footpath enabled the guests to alight from their carriages at once on to earpet and into fairyland with greenery and electric light everywhere. In the entrance hall were some magnificent rugs of tiger and leopard skins with heads attached, which needed some negotiating, the rest covered with Turkey carpets, the stairs caipeted in Coronation red, the walls draped with the same colour with handsome palms and plants in every space. On the first landing was a large mirror draped with olive green plush and lace curtains, reflecting two handsome electric candelabra resting on the newels of the staircase, and the whole of the entrance below. Upstairs the promenade was fitted with cosy corners, and from the dress circle one had an excellent view of the ballroom. The main corridor was a dream of beauty, covered with a soft green carpet, the walls lined with tree ferns, cabbage trees, etc., from out of which gleamed innumerable electric lights; at each end were tall mirrors draped with, crimson plush and lace curtains, the whole furnished with richly-earvctU furniture, chairs and lounges of the softest, silks and velvets and lovely statuary and bronzes, the mirrors at the end giving an immensity of length. It was here the lovely gowns as the wearers paraded perhaps with a military escort showed to the best advantage. The side corridor was furnished for light. refreshments, and the main hall, where the dancing took place, was a triumph in decorative skill. The western end under the dress circle was furnished as a drawingroom and draped with red, white and blue, large mirrors at different angles gave "many reflections of various portions of the hall and stage. Between the circle and the stage wore high cabbage trees and ferns, reaching almost as high ns the windows, which were draped with red curtains; at intervals between the trees werd large mirrors, and across the front of them garlanded

from tree to tree were lycopodium and other trailing plants; here, again, were numbers of coloured electric lights gleaming among the branches, giving an idea of a starlit forest. The stage represented a beautiful terrace approached by a wide flight of marble steps and balustrade ran along the front; the floor was covered with green baize and handsome statuary disposed about, seen through clumps of palms and ferne, and garden seats and chairs, the whole backed with a fountain scene. From the top hung an electric light crown and the letters “E.R.” on either side, with numbers of drooping fern baskets suspended at intervals. The decorations in the supper rooms were each carried out with a distinctive colouring. The small one appropriated to His Excellency the Governor and party was draped in red, white, and blue, the corners filled with handsome cabbage trees, flax, and delicate lycopodium filled in the spaces. The large lower room was draped with red curtains, the flowers on the tables being crimson japonica; in the upstairs one the windows were curtained with green and yellow, and the room profusely decorated with wattle. The music was supplied by Miss Scrivenor’s Band, placed at the north end of the stage, almost screened from sight in a bower of ferns. Messrs. Strange and Co. had charge of the ’decorating, and together with Messrs. Nairn and Son and Mr. W. Jones, who supplied the floral part, made it the triumph it was. The guests b"gan to arrive shortly before nine o’clock. and were received by the Mayor and Mrs. Wigram just under the gallery at the entrance of the ballroom, and never for one instant did either host or hostess allow: their interest to flag or appear at all weary. His Excellency Lord Ranfurly accompanied by Captain Alexander and the Hon. Hill-Trevor, arrived punctually at nine, the band playing the National Anthem.
