AWATUNA.
(From Our Own Correspondent.)
The much talked of and looked forward to plain and fancy dress ball took place in the Awatuna Hall last Friday night, when there was a very large attendance, visitors being present from Auroa, Riverlea, Te Kiri, Opunake, and all round. The floor was in perfect order, while the music supplied by Cannell's orchestra was all that could be desired. There were several handsome fancy dresses, which added a picturesque effect to the decorated hall during the scene of the grand march. The hard-working committee have every reason to feel proud of the results which crowned their labors. The following appeared in fancy dresses and looked exceedingly well: -Mrs A. Smith, Maori maiden; Mrs W. Smith, Maori maiden; Mrs Bowman, Highland lassie; Miss Voullaire, Spanish girl; Miss Collins, French peasant; Mr Ross, Highlander; Mr J. Travels clown; Mr F. Nicholson, Chinaman; Mr L. Corey, Turk. Messrs M. Bourke and L. Corey carried out the duties of M.C.'s in a most creditable manner; while the catering of the supper, being in the hands of Mr Silby, was a sufficient guarantee of its excellence.
As elsewhere, the milking season is again starting, and bears evidence of being another successful year. There has been quite an exit of settlers lately, while a number of newcomers have taken their places. Prior to their-departure a number of friends met at the residence of Mr and Mrs Percy Phillips and presented Mrs Phillips with a handsome travelling rug and Mr Phillips with a razor and a pipe. Mr Phillips, who suitably replied, has always been most willing in assisting at social gatherings in furthering the interests of school affairs, so that they will be greatly missed in the district.

PRESENTATIONS
On Tuesday evening, at the conclusion of the Musical Society's practice, advantage was taken to make two presentations. Mr Thorpe president of the society, stated that the members had been highly delighted at the able and tactful manner in which the conductor, Rev. R. B. Gosnell, had wielded the baton, and were desirous of showing their appreciation. He asked Mr Gosnell to accept a silvermounted baton, and hoped that he would long continue to act as conductor. Mr Gosnell, in replying, said he had performed his duties for his love of the work, and was pleased to know that the members were satisfied with him as a conductor. The gift was an agreeable surprise, for which he expressed his warmest thanks. Mr Thorpe then called upon Mr Cannell, pianist, to accept a gold-mounted topaz pendant as a small taken of appreciation for many kindnesses shown to members, pointing out that he was always on hand to assist individuals or quartettes at extra practices and was practically the mainstay of the society. Mr Cannell suitably responded.
PATRIOTIC DANCE. On Wednesday evening a dance inaugurated by the Young. Ladies' Guild, was held on behalf of the patriotic fund. The evening was fine, and the attendance was excellent. Cards were arranged for non-dancers, and aboul 60 couples took part in dancing to music provided by Mr Cannell, assisted by several willing volunteers. Misses Looney and G. Wallis made most efficient M.C.'s. The net proceeds amounted to £7 2s.
