On Monday evening a most successful children’s and adults' fancy dress ball was held in the Orpheum Hall, Onehunga, in support of one of the candidates, Miss A. Henclian. There was a large attendance. Many original fancy costumes were worn. These were judged by Mrs. TV. C. Coldicutt, ex-Mayoress of Onehunga. The early part of the evening was devoted to the children, who, in fancy costumes, performed the Sir Roger de Coverley and a variety of exhibition dances given by the pupils of Miss McGregor. A graceful minuet was danced by eight little girls, who, in their oldworld costumes, presented a very pretty picture.
