The first appeal before the 'Australian High Court was an appeal from Tasmania in the matter of a two penny, stamp and a shilling fine. A most amusing and interesting finale to the garden party at. Awarua House (Sir Joseph Ward’s residence) was the set of lancers danced on the lawn (says the Wairarapa Times’ Wellington correspondent), tho host 'and hostess, the Premier and Mrs Seddon joining in the dance. A very graceful dancer, too, is Mr Seddon, notwithstanding his many stone. Instead of the gallop round in the last figure, -Some of the couples essayed the cake-walk with more or less success. The Premier's energy is marvellous, although the long session 'and the had air of the Plouse seem to be wearing even him out. But at a function of any kind, he takes control, and is generally the most commanding figure. It would be an interesting return to ask how many times Mr Seddon has been photographed ; at the garden party, one more was added to the number. The Governor, Lady Ranfurly, and the rest of the notables were taken in a group.
