The Hall was nicely | decorated, the floor in splendid dancing condition, and the refreshments tasty and plentiful. Add to this the excellent music of Mr A. Keisenberg's orchestra, and it is little wonderthosepresentthoroughly enjoyed themselves, A number of visiting firemen from other Brigades were present, and their bright uniforms made tlio scene a very gay one. Dancing it as continued with considerable vigor till about 2.30 this morning. Special credit is due to the jointseeretaries—Firemen G. Braggins and E Pragnell-for their efforts in promoting the success of the gathering; to Messrs A, Feat, T. Hudson, F. Shearsby, and P.
