Potter, who are leaving on an extended tour of England and Europe. There was a large gathering of people from Albany and outlying districts. References to the esteem in which they were held was made by Mr. W. Tait, who then called upon Mr. XV. H. Schofield to present to them, on behalf of the residents and other friends, a leather suitcase each, and wished them God-speed and a safe return. Musical and other items were given by Miss Coghlan (Waimauku), Mr. Tate (Greenhithe), Mr. Kerr and Miss Trendle, and Mr. Kohlies. Mrs. Kelly’s (Birkdale) Orchestra capably supplied the dance music, and was assisted by Mr. Peter Black, of Birkenhead. Among those present were Mesdames A. Stevenson, AV. It.

TAKAPUNA DANCE RESIDENTS AND RATEPAYERS A dance was held in Daly’s Hull, Takapuna, this week, under the auspices of the "Western -Area Ratepayers’ and Residents’ Association. The purpose of the function was the raising of the balance of the association's quota of the cost of a bus-waiting pavilion. An awning of multi-coloured crepe paper was the chief feature of the decorations. Excellent dance numbers were played by Miss Daly’s Orchestra, the extras being played by Mr. Selwyn Gorman. An appreciated item were solo dances by Miss Kathleen Reid. During the evening Mr. John Collins, a member of the Takapuna Borough Council, spoke upon the community work of the association and said that it had amply justified its establishment a year ago.
