HINUERA.

Benedicts’ Ball. On Thursday evening the Hinuera Hall was once again the centre to ■which dancing enthusiasts from all directions thronged to join in the * celebration of the first Benedicts’ ball. A great crowd assembled, and judging from the remarks heard the decorations (composed of streamers, balloons and greenery.) were easily the most effective seen in Hinuera for some time. The music was supplied by Miss Mathieson’s orchestra. Everything necessary to make the evening an outstanding success had been provided and had it not been for the inclemency of the weather a record attendance would easily have been created. The executive body responsible for the evening must be congratulated on having organised such a fine function, and it will no doubt have been most gratifying to them to have had such a large patronage. Visitors were present from as far afield as Auckland and Marlborough, and every neighbouring district was well represented. The supper arrangements were very well organised, while the daintily decorated tables and the countless delicacies served by such a willing band of helpers left nothing to be 1 W desired. During the progress of the evening Monte Carlo and spot waltzes were conducted, the winners proving Mrs. A. Rowe and Mr. H. Settle and Miss Beeby and Mr. S. Wright, respectively- i i v. Personal.
