About 50 friends attended in the Oddfellows’ Hall, and dancing, games and competitions passed the evening pleasantly, music being supplied by Misses E. Palmer, L. Nath, P. Cooper and A. Manson. After supper Mr Barnett asked Miss Cruickshank to accept the large array of parcels with good wishes from her many friends, who regretted that her marriage meant her residence in Auckland. Mr A.
