CRICKET CLUB BALL

SPECTACULAR FUNCTION The Town Hall, Papatoetoe, was the scene of a very gay gathering last evening, when the Papatoetoe cricketers held their ball. Throngs of gay young couples occupied the floor, and enjoyed a cheery evening till the early hours, dancing to the intriguing strains of Mainland’s orchestra.

The decorations in the hall were of an unusual type, and were greatly admired by all, the streamers of club colours forming a gay canopy overhead, while the walls were adorned with brightly coloured bunting, and a sprinkling of greenery, put a finish to the artistic scheme.
