A POPULAR BALL

SUBURBS FOOTBALLERS’ EIGHTH FUNCTION' It required no whistle to set members i and their friends in motion at the \ eighth annual ball of the Suburbs ! Football Club held in the main -Avon- j dale Town Hall last evening. Nor was there any necessity for a referee to see that full justice was done to the excellent conditions offering. Some SO couples danced from S p.m. to 1 a.m. There were no wallflowers—the secretary and M.C., Mr. Geo. Orrell, assisted by Mr. J. Crum, saw to that.
