PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH SUCCESSFUL GARDEN PARTY. (“Times-Age” Special.) A very successful garden party was held at the residence of Mrs A. Johnson, Main Street, on Saturday afternoon in aid of the Presbyterian Church funds. In spite of the inclement weather the attendance was very large and a most enjoyable time was spent. The amount of £56 was taken and there are still some donations to come in. Thanks to the Ladies’ Guild was expressed by the Rev J. A. E. Preston for their fine effort. The Ladies’ Guild thank the members of the other churches for the valuable help given, and to others who had assisted and gave donations. The hidden gate number competition was won by Mrs S. Skeet. Other competitions were won as follows: — Stepping the chain, Miss Hill; bull board competition, Mr A. Gregor 1; croquet, Mrs J. F. Thompson 1; golf, the Rev H. Bloomfield. The well-laden stalls did good business and were quickly sold out. Afternoon tea was served on the lawn. Mr and Mrs A. Johnson were thanked for having so generously loaned their garden and home for the gathering. Personal Items. Mrs Hendry, of Petone, is a guest of Mrs F. C. Bunny, Jellicoe Street. Mr S.
