OTOROHANGA.

The complimentary social to Mrs Holden on Wednesday evening, despite the inclemency of the weather, was held in Turner's Hall, and was well patronised, some fifty couples promenading in the Grand March. The hall was decorated to represent a large drawing room, beautifully draped with chinelle and lace curtains relieVed here and there by oil paintings, steel engravings and large mirrors with evergreens and palms. The stage was remodelled with easy chairs,settee cushions and carpet, as a retiring room for cards and songs. The floor was polished and the music, which was provided by Mr J. Hetet, of Te Kuiti, was al! that could be desired to make the auspicious occasion a success. The supper, which was dainty and tasteful, was provided by the committee.
