HASTINGS.

June 29. Hunt Club Ball. The Hunt Club ball was held on Wednesday night, and. as it- was also raee week, there was quite an influx of visitors in from the surrounding districts. The rain, however, came down in torrents, and the ball was not so well attended as might have been. The wearing of quite a number of charming frocks made for the occasion was postponed, and those of a former season donned, father than risk any new splendour on such a night.
