The evening was a very successful one, due in large measure to the popularity of the guests of honour, and to the splendid activities of tho organisers, Mr and Mrs Jensen and family. The rooms in which the function was held were beautifully decorated with blue and yellow streamers, ferns and spring flowers. On behalf of those present, Mr J. Brown made the presentation, extending to Miss Billett and Mr Peat good wishes for their future happiness. Mr Peat suitably replied. During the evening numerous competitions were greatly enjoyed, the first being won by Mr and Mrs Harland, and the second, a peanut race, by Miss Cranston and Mr Bismark. A spot waltz was won by Miss M. Jensen and Mr A. Billett.
