TE NUI BACHELORS.

From a Correspondent. The Te Nai Hull presented a very gay and festive appearance on the evening of the 27th, when the Te Nui bachelors gave a most enjoyable dance. Being by invitation, the Hall was not too much crowded, r about thirty couples occupying the .'•'floor. The Taueru band excelled w themselves, the music being every. thing that could be desired, and the '*' refreshments excellent. Amongst the ladies present who wore the most striking dress I noticed Miss Johnston, of Masterton, looking very well in stylish black velvet evening dress; Miss Stilbom, in pretty pale Hue evening dreßS; Miss A. Stil born, black ovening dress; Miss Laing, lovely white dress of soft V: white material, with white satin ileeves, reveres, and white flowen \

Miss McKay, in pretty 1)1 _ ovoniug dress; MissMcHutchon, in pretty cream evening dress, ilowors on bodice and pretty opera clonk; Misses Speedy (two) pretty cream evening dresses; Miss E. Speedy, stylish in cream evening dress, pretty opora cloak to match; Miss Barnes, charming white dress with pink trimmings; Miss Shires, black satin skirt and evening bodice; Miss Nicholls, white muslin evening dress with blue ribbons; Miss Knight, pretty pule blue evening dress, with white lace; Miss Telford, very becoming evening dress. Amongst the married ladies I noticed Mrs R. 1-angdon looked well in a nice black evening dress, with scarlet flowers on bodice and in hair, and Mrs Webb, in a pretty pink evening dress. There were many other handsome dresses that my space will not allow me to describe. Amongst the gentlemen present were Mr Dawson, Mr Dalzeil, Mr D. and Mr A. Speedy, Mr C. Cameron, Mr Morrison, *Mr W. Langdon, Mr Mannsell, Mr Webb, and many others whom I did not know. I must not. forget to thank the ladies who played some of the extras in excellentstyle. Dancingcommenced about nine o'clock and was kept up —the timo passing all too quickly—until about four, when all dispersed highly delighted and hoping that at some future time the Te Nui bachelors will not forget to give another ball. I hear there will be a return shortly. Verity.
