fOwn Correspondent.)
The annual ball held under the auspices of the Otorohanga Football Club eventuated on Friday night last. Elaborate preparations had been made prior to the event in order to ecilpste all previous functions of the kind hitherto held in the township. The energetic hon. secretary to the Club. Mr Worthington. was untiring in his efforts to promote success, and in this respect he hast had nothing to reproach himself with. Unfortunately the weather was rather unpropituous as the evening wore on, but this fact did not cool the ardour of those who delight in tripping the "light fantastic,** about forty couples indulging in this time honoured pastime, while numbers of others who were non-dancers looked on.
The Banquet was provided by a well known Auckland firm of caterers and needless to say was all that could be wished for, even by the greatest epicure. During the progress of the ball a pleasing function took place, by the courtesy of and by arrangement with the Ball management. This was the presentation of a very beautiful and valuable daimond ring to Miss Dora Johnson, as an acknowledgement of the many p-tst favours she has bestowed upon the residents of Otorohanga in assisting at all social functions and also in Church matters. In making the presentation on behalf of the donors, Mr John Ormsby eulogised the service* rendered gratioosly by Miss Johnson in the past and stated that the presentation of the ring was merely a momento to convey to her whenever she looked at it, what the townspeople tbooght of her. On behalf of Miss Johnson her father suitably replied. —The Ball.—
