Ashton acted as M.C. and the music was played by Mr S. Te Tau and Mr Hewitson. A much appreciated extra was played by Mr T. Hooper. The Monte Carlo waltz was won by Miss Challis and Mr Osborne. Supper was provided by the club. Funeral of Mrs Dew. The funeral of the late Mrs A. E. Dew took place on Saturday afternoon. The cortege was followed to the Clareville Cemetery by a very large number of mourners. The deceased was held in high esteem by settlers in the Carrington district where she had Resided for many years. She was always a willing helper at social functions held in Carrington and the adjourning districts. The funeral ceremony at the graveside was conducted by the Rev W. F. Stent, Vicar of St Mark’s Church. The pallbearers were Messrs R. and G. Smith (brothers of deceased), A. Chapman (son-in-law), H. Fletcher (nephew) and Bros W. Miller and J. Fisher (members of the Foresters’ Lodge). Many beautiful wreaths, testifying to the respect in which the deceased was held, covered the coffin. Farmers' Union Ball. The annual ball of the Carterton branch of the Farmers’ Union will be held tonight in the King’s Theatre, and should be very successful. The music (seven instruments) will be supplied by Tom Udy’s Dance Orchestra and the ladies will provide the supper. The 1939 ball promises to eclipse its predecessors. Seven-a-side Football. In the annual seven-a-side tourney held on the Carterton Showgrounds on Saturday good football was displayed by the large number of teams which took part in the senior and junior grades. Those who attended were convinced that the early good/ form shown by members of various' clubs augurs well for good football being played in Wairarapa this season. Next Saturday the championship fixtures will commence and in view of future rep games players will doubtless be anxious to get into form and display their best football.
