AUCKLAND.

Dear Bee. April 3. I here is, of course, still but one subject of social chit-chat, namely the much looked forward to CITIZENS’ BALL, which is now a tiling of the past, and ■\\hich seems lik-?l\ to be the onlv entertainment of any kind whatsoever we are likely to have to talk about for 'some time to come. It seems to be the universal opinion of all who were present that the ball tendered to his Excellency the Admiral. Lady Fawkes, and the officers of the warships, was an exceedingly well done affair. More brilliant functions rise perhaps to the memory, but none where so much forethought had been given to the arrangements. or where everyone concerned worked harder for the well-earned success achieved. The erection of the large marquees for the supper, the large entrance tent, and the cloak room arrangements. went far to mitigate the inevitable over-crowding, and the sitt-ing-out room was more than ample. The decorations were broadly effective, the stage being embowered with, whole nikau palms and the hall festooned with lycopodium, from which hung down lovely baskets of belladonna lilies. As usual, the st.'ge was furnished with lounges, etc., for the chaperons, a sort of •'innermost circle” being divided off for the Admiral and Lady Fawkes, and those who considered themselves of social standing sufficient to take their places there. ’The music was just perfect, and the idea of placing the musicians in the art gallery was amply justified by the result. The music sounded more evenly over the hall than when played from one of the corners, as is usual, and the extra floor space gained was a decided advantage. The night was a singularly cool one for this time of year, and when the crowd in the main hall thinned down after the suppen* room was opened, dancing became exceedingly enjoyable. The supper room was nicely arranged and decorated, as will be seen from the photograph in this issue. The Strand Cafe Co., now evidently under very capable management. placed a first-class menu before the guests and served the same expeditiously. At a dance given by the citizens some vears ago there were bitter complaints of the quality of the champagne supplied -it. not. in fact, being champagne* at all. This time, so I understand, only the most highlyesteemed brands were served, ami contentment Teigned supreme in the sup-per-room. and likewise next day, there being no ill-effects from the gooseberry imitation, as on the previous occasion. A good deal of taste was shown in the supper table decorations by the ladies committee appointed for this work, and which consisted of Mesdames 1. Hope Lewis. D. W. But hie. E. R. Bloomfield. W. R. Holmes. W. E. Rathbone, and C. V. Houghton. They wen* not. however, responsible for the exceedingly original and well carried out notion of making the private table laid out for the Admiral and official set in the shape of a man-of-war. furnished with a. miniature funnel, cannon and cannon balls complete. and all appurtenances for the perfecting of a quaint conceit, which greatly delighted his Excellency, who indeed appeared io enjoy himself exceedingly well. THE OFFICIAL SETS. The following danced in the Squadron official set of opening lancers:—The Admiral and the Mayoress (Mrs. A. Myers), the Mayor and Lady Fawkes, Captain Tudor ami Mrs. Davies, Captain Wooleombe and Madame Bocufve. Captain Halsey and Mrs. Devore, Captain D’Oyley and Mrs. Woolcoin be, Mr. Gre-

ville A. Miller and Mrs. George. Colonel Davies and Mrs. Ware. At the Admiral’s table were seated the Mayor and Lady Fawkes, Admiral Fawkes and Mrs. Myers, Hon. Seymour Thorne George and Lady Campbell, Sir John Logan Campbell and Airs. Seymour Thorpe (Teorge, M. Boeufve and Mrs. Laiigguth, Mr. Langguth and Aline. Boeufve. THE COMMITTEE AND ALC.’S. The commit tee and M.C.’s exerted themselves to make everything pass off smoothly, and certainly succeeded. Mr, Holmes, as usual, worked untiringly from the inception of the dance to the very last “ extra” and deserves much credit. The officials connected with the dance were: — The masters of ceremonies were Lieut.-Colonel Holgate. Alessrs A. Gordon, H. C. Tewsley, C. Ranson. E. Anderson. AV. IL Holmes, 1). AA'. Duthie, F. E.
