" The supper buffet was arranged at one side of the hall, and did a splendid business in fruit salads, trifles, tea, coffee, etc. An outstanding feature of the evening was the splendid Jazz Orchestra which was comprised of piano (Mis Boviis), violins (Misses Pjckles and Terry) and Mr Mason), cornet (Mr A. Freeman), flute and jazz effects (Mr W. Quarrie), Stvanee whistle (Mr H. Hook), • and more jazz effects (Mr W. Quarrie).
