Gisborne.
(From the Auckland Observer.)
The Fancy Dress Ball would have been a great success had the music been played in more correct time.
The lady in the white antiquated dress did not appear to advantage, and thus spoiled her chance of being looked upon as the belle of the ball. Mr. Paremata enjoyed himself immensely, and his costnme was greatly admired for its perfection of style and colour.
The Baubier’s wife was, as usual, the cynosure of all eyes. Mephistopheles acted his part with consummate and evidently natural skill, though in some respects he bore too close a resemblance to a famous knight of King Arthur’s Round Table.
Mr. Montague Smith looks particularly happy since his recent engagement. It is to be hoped he will now refrain from laughing in church at the lady members of the congregation. If a few eligible bachelors could be induced to settle in Lowe-street, greater happiness might be the lot of some of the more ambitious maidens resident in that locality.
