The weekly dance held, in the State Theatre,on Saturday evening under the auspices of the Y.M.C.A. and Citizens Committee, was well attended, and was most enjoyable.

Music for the dance was supplied by the orchestras of Messrs T. Udy and F. Pool. Mr L. M. Clark was M.C., and the supper arrangements were controlled by members of the Women’s Division of the Farmers Union.

It was decided that the rules governing calves and lambs will be the same as last year; that the prize money be the same’ as last year for calves and lambs, viz., 4s, 3s and 2s; that there be a class for care and handling for children in Standard 2 and under, and one for Standard 3 and over; that a trophy be donated to the winner of the Borthwick Cup; that there be a class for yearlings which were shown last year as calves (all yearlings must show last year’s earmark); that all boys and girls who do not win a prize receive Is each. All calves and lambs coming forward must be earmarked. Mrs F. Renall, of Parkvale, has donated a cun to be allotted as the committee desired? It was resolved to thank Mrs Renall and to allot the cup for the best calf in the care and handling class, to be won twice in succession or three times at intervals.
