Entries for the cha’mpionsfliip (Mr. Curtis’ trophy) clos® on the 17th November. Kinking. Rinking is every day (or, rather, night) becoming more—more popular. Spectators who went to scoff have at last donned the elusive rollers, and are gliding round and round most gracefully. There is to be a fancy dress carnival on the 31st inst., so we must get as proficient as we can in the meantime. Juvenile Ball. The always-popular Fire Brigade Juvenile fancy dress ball took place on Thursday evening in the Town Hall, which was absolutely packed from stage to circle. The Ladies’ Committee (Mcsdames A. E. Burgess, S. Fahey, W. Rowson, J. Sheahan, J. Hodge, Misses Gardiner, McDonald, and Brayshaw) worked hard to make the evening a success, which it undoubtedly was. The secretary (Mr. A. E. Burgess) also contributed greatly to the success of the ball. Tire floor was in splendid order, and the music supplied by Mr. Roger’s orchestra was very good. The supper, needless to say, was most plentiful, and left nothing to be desired.
