Visitors were present from all parts of the Wairarapa, representing the many golf clubs in the district, and the capacity of . the hall was severely taxed. The hall was tastefully decorated with lycopodium streamers and flowers and a first-class supper was served and enjoyed by all. The music was supplied by Barnes’s Rhythm Boys, who responded generously to numerous encores during the evening. Mr D. O’Brien made an efficient M.C.
