BALL AT PIPIROA.

SPORTS CLUB’S FUNCTION. The Pipirpa Sports Club held Rs second annual ball in the Pipiroa Hall on Tuesday evening, and has every reason to feel proud of the function. The club’s reputation for enjoyable dances is sufficient to attract a Large attendance, and when, as on Tuesday evening, a special effort is made, and conditions are favourable, its eyeniags attract people from a very large radius. Fine weather and a bright moonl'ght night on Tuesday permitted people from all parts of the Plains, and from Thames and Paeroa, to be present, and it was estimated that there were about eighty couples present, The ballroom was gaily decorated with coloured paper streamers, lines of which were suspended overhead and hung in graceful simplicity round the walls. In the supper-room the same effective design was carried out and, together with the tables, which were artistically arranged with daffodils and narcissi and laden with an abundance of jellies, trifles, and salads, etc., presented a very pleasing spectacle. On the stage, hidden behind differently coloured paper streamers, was the Morrin.sville Jazz Band, broadcasting the jazziest of dance music to which dancers kept time until an early hour of the morning. The floor, well-known as the best on the HaurakL Plains, was in splendid order, and dancers needed no urging, so the duties of the M.C. were more to keep the music going continuously. Great credit for the success of the function is due to the members of the Sports Club and to the committee of eleven Pipiroa ladies in whose charge were the supper arrangements. Everything went without a hitch, and the function sets a new standard for the Plains,
