The original stories and choruses were very clever, and the “Savage” orc.hes- ■ tra was well trained and rendered two 1 splendid itemn. Not the leest delightful ! part of the evening’s entertainment was j rhe sumptuous supper which was ear- ■ ried into the hall by twenty of the' “Savages.” The long tables, beautifully ! decorated with wattle and spring bulbs j and greei- and yellow streamers, were j literally groaning under the supply of! delicacies provided for the ‘‘Natives,” who one and all thoroughly enjoyed the ‘ Korero,’’ and are all quite prepared To allow their bravos to repn’ir '■ Whare,” Gill Street, on Saturday nights, for they realise' what a splendid in- i stitution the ‘'Savage Club” is in New ‘ Plymouth.
