THE BALL, which will be held in the Volunteer Hall, commencing at 9 o'clock. The brethren of Lodge Beta-Waikato have spired no trouble or expense to make this function equal to its predecessors, and we think those who are privileged to attend this gathering will thoroughly enjoy themselves. The decorations have been made a special feature, and are on such lines as has never before been attempted in Waikato, and the material points in the success of the ball —the floor, music and supper—have all received the greatest attention, ami should prove highly satisfactory. We have been asked to state that as the brethren will be in attenelance at the Lodge up to the last minute the hall will not be openeel until nine o'clock, and the entrance will be at the front door, the ladies' dressing-room being to the left and the gentlemen's to the right of the entrance.
