Mr Hughan then presented Miss Stubbs with a handsome leather suitcase, and in doing so mentioned that the quality of the gift could be accepted by Miss Stubbs as a symbol of the sincere, regard in which she was held. Mr Hughan’s remarks were received with applause and musical honours.. Miss Stubbs very feelingly replied, thanking the hostesses for their kind thought in arranging the party, and all for the very handsome present, which she would always associate with the kind friends she had in Carterton... Mr A. F. Stubbs briefly supplemented his daughter’s remarks. Supper was served and a highly successful evening eventually concluded with the singing of Auld Lang Syne. ( , PERSONAL. Mr and Mrs Jas. Donald, of the Newall Road School, Taranaki, are visitors to Carterton and are the guests of Mr and Mrs E. H. Fisher, High Street. CAT CATCHES RABBIT. In the “bad old days” when the rabbit. menace was a very real one on back country properties, many domestic cats were carried long distances and liberated in order to combat the pest It is on record that the females particularly proved good hunters and fully justified the enterprise. Be this as i' may, a household in Carterton lasi evening was considerably surprised and excited when the family cat deposited on the floor of the kitchen a rabbit i$ had just caught. Accompanied by its protesting growls, the cat was persuaded to take its catch outside to enjoy an unusual supper.
