HANGATIKI.

There v;as a sound of revelry by night.—Byron. On the evening of May 2lst a social was held in the Hangatiki school, and being favoured with a beautiful frosty night, it was a wonderful success." Several visitors arrived from Otorohanga and other neighbouring districts, and by the vigorous way in which dancing was continued there can be little doubt that all enjoyed themselves. The floor was in good order, and, though there were so many people present, yet no inconvenience was caused by overcrowding. One of the most distinguished visitors was Cupid. And Cupid with his cruel bow was there in force, And many a bachelor's heart laid low. of course ; And. as they took the homeward track, their flight was sad, For Cupid, with unerring aim, had them bad. In the intervals between the dances much-enjoyed songs were given by Misses Macaulay and Meikle, and Messrs Champion, Irvine and Prentice. A. S. Board kindly lent his piano, and this with the violin, which was played by Mr Morgan, made excellent music. "The dance broke up at 2 o'clock, and the people repaired to their various homes _ greatly pleased with the evening's enjoyment.
