A delicious supper was provided by the ladies of the district. P. & T. Dance. The Masonic Hall was crowded to the doors on Saturday night, when a dance was held by the P. and T. Social Club.

New Hall Opened. A new hall at Akura was officially opened on Saturday when Mrs Miller Hope’s party by invitation, gave the initial concert, which was followed by a dance. The hall was tastefully decorated with ferns and the erection of the building and the decorations were a credit to those concerned. Supper was provided for all those present at the gathering. In addition to the usual performers, items by Mrs Leadley (elocutionist, who was encored several times) and Private Samson (saxaphone) were greatly appreciated.
