STRATHMORE NOTES.

[from qijr own correspondent.] A most enjoyable ball was held on the 12th hist., in return to the Makahu ladies, by the residents of Strathmore and surrounding districts. The hall was tastefully decorated with evergreens and flags. The weather being most favorable, many visitors journeyed from all parts,‘about forty couple taking part in the grand march. Excellent music was supplied by Mrs Bianchi and Mr A. Kelly. Mr K. Summerhays made an efficient M.C., and kept things moving.
