HAWERA.

there was not such a large attendance as was expected, I think that financially it was quite a success. All enjoyed themselves thoroughly, and voted it one of the nicest dances of the season. The floor was in splendid order. The decorations, which were mostly composed of pungas, flax, etc., were most tastefully; carried out, the stage looking especially; pretty. The music, supplied by' Mrs. Quin (piano), Miss J. Flynn (violin-)', and her brother (cornet), was. as usual, very; good.
