The ladies and all who so liberally provided refreshments, need commendation. The M.C.'s—Messrs H. S. Izard, P. H. Wood, Bright, and MeKenzic—carried out their duties to the satisfaction of all. There wore about 150 couples present and I refrain from mentioning the dresses worn as most of the company looked charming. There was not a great number in the galleries. Possibly the 2s 6d charge caused the scarcity. The supper lablo was under the supervision of Mr and Mrs Arthur Jones, and a large staff of assistants and the tables were laid out in tiptop fashion and looked splendid, Everyone appeared to onjoy themselves, and tho company was a large and representative one,
