(From Our Own Correspondent.) A dance held under the auspices of the Ladies' Hockey Club on Thursday last was exceedingly well attended. It .was arranged as a farewell function to Miss Elsie Andrews, who for some seasons has captained the Inglewood team. During the evening Mr. H. A. Stratford, vice-president, announced that, owing to the absence of Mr. J. H. Rowe, president, the pleasant duty of making a presentation to Miss Andrews on behalf of the Hookey Club, had fallen to him. The gift was a gold brooch. Mr. Stratford regretted that Miss Andrews should leave, and; wished her every happiness in her new home. He also presented Misa Andrews ■with a. ihockey stick (a donation by Dr. Gault to the member who ihad been most useful to the Club during the last season). To Mifea E. Harvey he presented a gold brooch, given by Mrs. Martin to the best improved player during the season, while Miss I. Young received a handsome silver crystal inkstand, presented by Mr. J. H. Rowe for the second 'best improved player. Mr. T. E. Hamerton responded suitably on behalf of all the young ladies.
