NGATEA. CHILDREN’S DANCE. A children’s dance was held in the Ngatea Hall on Wednesday evening, but owing to the weather the attendance was not so large as is usual at such functions. However, there was a good attendance of adults, and a pleasant time was spent. Dances for adults were alternated with dances for the children, splendid music being provided by the Ngatea orchestra. The function was arranged by the Church of England ladies of Ngatea in aid of the building fund of the proposed Ngatea Anglican Church.
