The usual class of the Ladies’ Gymnastic Club will not be held this week. —Advt, There will be working bees at the Soldiers’ Hall to-night and to-morrow night in connection with the preparations for the opening ball on Wednesday night. Sneaking at a civic reception at Wellington on Friday the Captain of the British Football team (Mr F. D. Prentice, observed that he had first played Rugby with New Zealanders. It had happened at the war, \yhen some New Zealanders had been kicking a ball about 'behind the lines, as they usually were when they had nothing else to do. They invited him to join them “And that was rpy introduction to the greatest game in the world,” Mr Prentice said. “It is a game that has afforded me manyhappy times, culminating with the present tour,” ■ With the approach of Wednesday evening, interest in the gala ball to take place that night to mark the reopening of the Soldiers’ Hall increases. The builders made rapid advance with the work last week, and by to-morrow the building should be in readiness for the big event, though perhaps not fully completed. The additional rooms provided are both convenient and commodious. The ball room is now the largest in the district. The supper or social room is a very fine apartment also, and very conveniently placed. The management is making full tions for the event, which will present the town with a very useful asset for functions of all sizes. The organisalion deserves all credit and encouragement for its. enterprise in this matter. Winter time is dressing time.

This'gentleman is the possessor of a fine voice, and his devotional singing of the numbers mentioned was the cause of much admiration. ' At a full meeting of Directors of the Ross Lime Coy. held at Hokitika on 17th. inst, the question of a power unit for the Company’s works was gone into fully. As a Diesel engine seemed to meet the requirements with regard to efficiency, economy and reliability, it was decided to ask Messrs John Burns and Co. (agents) to cable immediatelv for one, in order to ensure early delivery. The Directors feel that with this plant installed, prompt delivery of lime at all times will he assured, and they are ftlso of the opinion that even with the £250 grant for earthquake repairs, the cost of putting the water power in efficient order would be prohibitive. At a meeting of the Greymouth Municipal Band last week the Mayor (Mr J. W.
