GISBORNE.

Dear Bee. July 12. 1 wanted to tell you of the Gisborne Steeplechase meeting held here last week, but the weather and the roads were so miserably wet that not a great number of people went out.

Last Monday Miss Ilermie AgnewBrowne gave A VERY JOLLY GIRLS’ AFTERNOON. After delicious afternoon tea had been partaken of. we were all handed a slip of paper on which were the names of well-known composers, but disguised in such a way as to make it very hard to guess them.
