Juvenile Fancy Dress Ball

4> The above ball, the proceeds of which are to be devoted to the funds of the Palmerston Hospital, was held in the Assembly Rooms, Feildiug, on Tuesday evening last, and was in every way a decided success. The programme opened with the Grand March in which some 18 couples took part, and was exceptionally well carried out, The other dances were a polka, Polish dance, barn dance, tennis dance, French basket dance, and the well-known Sir de Roger Coverley wound up the proceedings. The greatest credit is due to Mr Hyde-Parker for the excellent manner in whieh he had trained his apt pupils, and the whole affair also reflects highly to the credit of the little ones who took part in it.
