Last Friday evening (says the North Otago Times of November 3) several friends of Mr. and Mrs. P. Kelly foregathered at their residence on the North road to wish them bon voyage prior to their departure

on a trip to Australia. The gathering was in the nature of a surprise party, and no preparations were made by the host and hostess for the entertainment of such a gathering. The guests, however, enjoyed themselves all the more by reason of the' impromptu nature of the function. During the evening those present asked Mr. and Mrs. Kelly’s acceptance of a gold sovereign case and oak tray respectively in token of the esteem in which their friends held them. Mr. and Mrs. Kelly intend being away some two or three months, during which time they intend visiting most places of interest in the Commonwealth, and also Auckland on the return visit when the Exhibition will be on.
