Cornishmen Hold“ Bright F' t S 'al Mam/Attend Gathermg In Newmarket Hall GAMES AND MUSIC The Municipal Hall, Newmarket. presented a gay appearance last evening, when the first social gathering of the Auckland Cornish ASsociation was held. Multi-coloured streamers, with clusters of balloons, were suspended from the ceiling, the walls being draped with flags of many colours, and hung with. Chineselanterns The stage was also draped with flags, in the centre being the crest which is the emblem of Cornwall, with its motto, “One and All.” This crest, with its 15 golden coins on a black background, has an interesting history, the motto having being given to Cornwall by Richard 1., who was released from imprison—ment by the aid of money raised by the Cornish people. The explanation was interestingly given by Dir. S. T. H. Roskilly. In welcoming the guests, Mr. J. W. Cocks, president, remarked upon the large gathering present, which clearly showed how great is the Cornish sentiment. A cable in good old Cornish speech. “Regards Iss Sure,” was read from the association’s patron, Sir John Luke, this being greatly appreciated by all those present, who still retained .dear and vivid recollections of their ;home county. The president also re—‘ferred in eulogistic terms to the great ‘work accomplished by the organising Isecretary, the Rev. W. J. Tremayne 1 Thomas, to Whom he presented a clock ion behalf of the association. ‘ lilr. G. F. Williams, vice-president, :was in the chair. Mr. J. W‘. Cooke and Mrs. Cocks received the guests, Mrs. Cocks wearing a frock of parchment crepe de chine, with godets of powder blue. A most enjoyable programme of musical and elocutionary items was given, those contributing being: Duets —Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Cocks; songs— Miss Dora Cocks, Miss Julie Williams, and Mr. T. B. Rowe; elocutionary numhers—Mrs. J. \V. Cocks; cornet solo— Alr. VVebber. The accompanist was Aliss Rowe. The. rest of the evening was fully occupied with games and competitions. and with the community singing of “Trelawney.” the rousing song of the 20.000 Cornishmen who were deter—mined to see Trelawney free from the Tower of London. A typical Cornish supper was served in the dining-room, including the wellknown “nubbies,” "splits." Cornish pasties, and a host of other good things beloved of the Cornisiiman in his native surroundings. The room had been delightfully arranged with col- ‘ oured streamers and lights, palms, and lbaskets of lycopodium being placed at Intervals. The tables were gay with carnations and marigolds in shades of flame and rose. It is hoped that the association will have many such en—t joyable functions. '__-“h
