QUEEN CARNIVAL EUCHRE PARTY & DANCE. (“Times-Age” Special.) A euchre party and dance was held in the hall on Saturday evening. There was a good attendance. The first prizes were won by Mrs McKenzie (ladies) and M. Waiwera (men). The other prizes were won by Mrs Carter and Mrs Lovegrove and Messrs J. Riwai and R. Piripi respectively. The competition for a bag of sugar was won by M. Herangi. The dance music was supplied by local players. The proceeds were in aid of the local queen candidate, Miss Betty Sutton. The Green and Gold Ball and Queen Carnival will be held in the Memorial Hall, Pirinoa, on Wednesday, August 16. Preparations are well forward and it is expected that there will be a large crowd. The supper arrangements which are in charge of a special committee of ladies, promise to be a feature of the gathering. The queen crowning will be another event of great interest and a prominent citizen has consented to act as Lord High Chancellor. The presence of this wellknown personage should ensure a large attendance to witness the ceremony. Several local celebrities will be the recipient of coronation honours. Mrs Una Thompson, a member of the Mutual Improvement Board, will arrive tomorrow to supervise the decorations and details in connection with the crowning ceremony at the Green and Gold Ball.
