FEILDING.

J une 17. Club Ball. The topic of conversation for weeks past has been the club ball. The much-talked-of event took place last night (Thursday). No pains had been spare! to make the ball what it was, an unqualified success. A temporary ballroom, built in the club grounds, was beautifully decorated with ferns and flags. A raised platform at one end held the musicians, and a comfortable room at the side was set apart for chaperons. Besides the ballroom the various clubrooms were used for cards, billiards, sitting-out, and supper-rooins —in fact, the scene was one of beauty, enjoyment, and comfort, and the result must have been very gratifying to the committee. There were a great many lovely dresses. It would be impossible to mention them all, but I will endeavour to describe a few: Airs. Wall, lovely white satin frock; Airs. Willis, pale blue satin trimmed with passementerie; Mrs. Gillespie, beautiful frock of embroidered chiffon over flame coloured satin; Mrs. Leslie Gorton, cream satin trimmed with coloured passementerie; Airs.
