Palmerston North

(From our own correspondent.) A very enjoyable euchre party was held recently at the Empire Hall in aid of the funds of the St. Vincent de Paul Society to assist local distress. The arrangements, which were in the capable hands of Mrs. Leydon and Miss Low, joint secretaries, were carried out without a hitch. Thirty-three tables were in use and some very good games were played. No less than four gentlemen and three ladies tied, with eleven games each. The winners were—Lady's prize, Mrs. Hickey; gentleman's prize (donated by Mr. C. P. Nash), Mr. J. Lynch; consolation prizes, Miss Malcairns and Mr. Setter. During the evening Mr. E. L. Broad presented the prizes, and in doing so thanked the company for their presence and for helping such a good cause. He also reminded them that the function was only the forerunner of a series to be held during the winter months* Supper was handed round by a band of willing helpers*
