Several visitors were present from outside centres. Dancing commenced at about 8.30, and was kept going with vim until about three o’clock this morning, when the last of the reveU os regretfully wended their way wards. Supper arrangements weir m the hands ot a number of lady irieno* of the cadets, headed by Mrs Hamor, and were generally voted “ excellent, Members of the corps were assiduous nn 'Attending to the wants ot visitor-:-., and, incidentally, in showing off to Si .4 advantage the gay trappings of tS-u new uniforms.
