The attendance was good, both local and district patrons attending. The M.C. was Mr. E. Bulmer. Novelty dances, such as the Robber waltz, caused much amusement. The Monte Carlo waltz was won by Miss Scofrar and Mr. Benton. Excellent music was supplied by a professional orchestra from Palmerston North. The floor, which was prepared by the committee, was in excellent condition for dancing. Supper was handed round by > the committee and a willing band of lady helpers.
