AMUSEMENTS.

TE KUITI HOSPITAL FUND. Next Thursday evening the final appeal to the public for financial, assistance towards the Hospital Fund will take the form of masquerade, plain, fancy and poster dance, which will be held in the Alexandra Rink, the floor being specially prepared by Mr Grinter. Dur s ng the past few days our townspeople have been approached for assistance in the direction of providing light refreshments, and it is with pleasure we record appreciation of the generous support to the ladies. Several have promised to supply cakes, etc. With the idea of causing as little troubla as possible the secretary will be pleased to receive all parcels at the Chronicle office next Thursday up till 1 o'clock in the afternoon. The Municipal Band will play selections in front of the hall from 7.45 and as it will be their first public appearance it is expected that a large crowd will attend to extend a cordial reception at this their initial performance. The music of Mr Christian will certainly tend to increase the patronage at the dance, and with Mr A. E. Power as Master of Ceremonies, all patrons should have a thoroughly enjoyable evening.- The secretary would be pleased to receive advise from any well wisher of tha cause who is prepared to supply milk for the evening. Don't fotget that for every sir'lling received it represents two shillings and foumence, carrying as it does a Government subsidy. This is th<? last appeal for the year 1912. It is intended to make the appeal an annual one, and the first Thursday in August in each year—Hospital Day. A strong committee will next year be constituted to arrange for a tradesm?ns' shopkepeers, lodges, and general public display and procession.
