A gay assemblage, including many women magnificently dressed and wearing valuable jewels, thronged a ballroom at Rubberlioz, where ten men in faultleas attire arrived at one o'clock in the morning. They received a hearty welcome, and entered into the spirit of the dance with great zest. Suddenly they drew revolvers, demanding valuables. All the exits in the meantime were guarded. The thieves made several journeys to a waiting motor oar, in which they heaped furs, jewellery, and purses. A girl, using the back stairs, called the police, but the gang escaped with their booty, except two, who were arrested One woman values her fur cloak at £2OOO. —Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
