At the conclusion of the games, the six choice and valuable prizes were presented by the Rev. Father Dunphy, who, on behalf of the management, thanked the players for their support and co-operation in making these fortnightly events the pleasant and sociable gatherings they have undoubtedly been. He trusted that by bringing their friends with them on the next occasion. October 12, they would see the community spirit still further extended.

There followed supper prepared by the ladies of the guild and generously supplied with a variety of delicacies, the dancers sitting after the euchre* players had finished. Many of the latter adjourned to the dancing hall on the resumption of the programme, where the happy throng radiating the spirit of mutual goodwill and reciprocal pleasure brought the blissful evening to a close with the National Anthem on the stroke of midnight.
