For two hours a bevy of young athletic women gave a display of a very varied nature, each item being of distinctly pleasing and successful nature. Jhe local Club had the assistance of Miss Austin raid Mr Mussen of Christchuich and the finished performance of the former was a. wonderful treat. The * young lady gave a wonderful aerobatic ~ turn, assisted by Mr Mus-rm, while her solo dances were of a clever and Y pleasing nature. Mr Mussen was likewise very successful in his items. V The Gaiety Dance Band supplied the ' overtures and the music for the various numbers and their bright music assisted considerably in the .successful programme. * During an interval Mr H. M.
