and undoubtedly the efforts ci the Bachelors Surprised not a lev:. Over one hundred couples presented themselves in response to the invitations sent "out, and the whole country was represented including a contingent of ladies from Hamilton. The hall was prettily decorated with flags, which together with-Chinese lanterns hung round the hall, and good lights, made a pleasing spectacle. The stage was reserved for "seating accommodation, while a new structure was erected for the occasion outside the side dcor, for supper. This was voted- a splendid idea-by "one and. £ll, ..as it in no way interfered with space available for those who chose to ba onlookers. In place of the ordinary supper the Bachelors evidently were determined to go one better and supplied refreshments during the whole of the time, and great credit is due to Messrs Green and Cclebrook, Ltd., for the manner in which they carried out the catering part of the entertainment. Splendid music was provided by .Messrs J. Hetet (piano), C. Turner (cornet), and D. Hetet (violin). » The floor. was in perfect - order, and improved as the evening wore on.
