DUFFERS’ CONCERT.

MASONIC HALL TO-MORROW NIGHT.

For the first time in the enlerla inmen f annals of Foxton a ‘‘Duffers’ Concert" is to be submitted to the public in the Masonic Hall to-morrow evening. It does not follow, however, that those taking part are really “duffers,” but the majority of them have not previously appeared before the footlights. The audience will get a few pleasant surprises and possibly much amusement from the varied programme which will include vocal and instrumental items and dancing. The latter will include clog dancing and a special Highland dance with bag-pipe accompaniment, a real Lauder sidesplitter. A judge has been appointed to award prizes for the best items the duller, —who we believe is to revive a cake. The entertainment is to be preceded by a torchlight procession headed by the band.
