The annual plain and fancy dress soiree of the Masterton Football, Club which takes place in the Drill flail on Friday next, promises to bo very successful. Tickets arc eoing off rapidly,' and the committee are leaving nothing undone to Iwvo everything in first-class style. The ladies of Masterton and district havo responded most generously in providing refreshments and the menu, which in the past has'beeu noted for its excellence, is likely to be even more extensive. Tho hall will be decorated with flags and evergreens, and. a committee has boon specially appointed to see that the floor is in first-class, order, We need only mention that the musio is in the hands of Mr Koisenberg, to Bhow that that portion of the programme will bo of the best, A number of members of the Philharmonic Society have signified their intention of attending in fanoy costume, while Beveral of those who took part in " Maritana" and other plays hero have also expressed their intention of appearing in fauoy atcire, whioh with the various uniforms of the footballers will havo a most pleasing effect.'

An East Coast settlor who has just returned from the Empire City.says although he enjoyed the performance by tho Wellington Amateurs of the "Pirates of Penzance," it was not to be compared with that he had heard in Masterton, given by the Philharmonic Sooiety. The choruseß of Our local Society, the grouping on the stace and the general effoot were a long way in advance of the Wellington effort. This independent tribute to our.looal' "Pirates" should be welcome to them and induce those who have not already Been the play i,i Masterton to be present on Tuesday night at the Theatre. Royal when it will be re peated for the complimentary benefit of Mr Keisenberg. isot only is the play of itself well worth spending an evening over, but the object for which this extra performance is to bo given is one worthy the support of the public generally, Mr Koisenberg has Spared neither timo nor trouble in conducting the practices of the . Philharmonic Society, and his endeavors to bring their perfotmauces'toa favorable issue has in overy oaso proved successful. Mr Keisenberg deserves publio recognition gs he has never been known to refuse to contribute his services when oalled upon in aid ot any publio or private charity, and we trust on tho ocoasiouof his complimentary benefit at the Masterton Theatro Royal on Tuesday next that he will havo a " bumper house," Thoso who are unable through business engagements or other cause to be present personally can do so by deputy, Tiokets can be obtained at Mr T.

Music, games, and a particularly nice little spread by way of supper, constituted . the evening's attractions, and everyone had ah exceedingly jolly time. Tho musical items were contributed by Mesdames Macintosh, 0, L, Barnard, Shearer, Misses Bayley, Haiidi, • and Messrs M. E, Varnham, Black, T, A, Weston, Bayley, Ha'-vko, Wickerson, and the Rev.'Mr Dellow.

It took the form of a prestation silver mounted baton.

In an interview with an Auckhnd 'Star roporter, Jfr J.

The last quotation 'by cable lor medium was 18110s to i-32 per ton.
