BALL AT C0RRY0NG.
Corryong Hall was the scene of a gay
and festive assemblage on Friday week,
when the annual poster ball, in aid of the
show pavilion funds, took place. The
committee with their joint secretaries,
Miss Ivy Bartlett and Miss Taylor, must
be congratulated on their two great suc
cesses. The proceeds must have amounted
to a good sum, as the ball was crowded at
3s. a single and 5s. a double ticket. The
ladles of the district supplied the supper
at twelve o'clock, and soup at 3.30 In the
morning. The music was supplied by
Mr. Boyd, of Mt. Elliott State School In
an efficient manner, with one or two
others assisting. Five ladies— Mrs,
Acocks, Mrs, Blair, Miss Clark, Mrs. J
Fetherstonhaugh and Mrs. Falconer,
acted as judges. They awarded Miss
Dixie Waters first prize for best Iady
poster, representing an ointment, and Mr.
Albert Masters first prize for gentleman
poster, representing photography, Mr.
and Mrs. Doney secured the prize for
best fancy dress, representing Charles 1st
and Nell Gwynne respectively. Miss
Luklns looked exceedingly pretty as a
photographic poster, and amongst others
who represented characters and posters
were the following : — Miss Maud Con-
nors represented the press with a pleasing
edition of the " Courier" ; Miss Taylor
wore an evening dress and Miss Ivy
Bartlett was easily discernible as Topsy.
Miss Phillips looked well as a baking
powder advertisement, and Miss. W.
Waters wore a pretty dress of roses.
Messrs Summervllle and Edwards pleased
by appearing as Chinamen In silk robes.
Mr. W. Hamilton appeared as a clown,
and Mr. Lander came as a whisky bottle.
The clown put a hole right through him and
caused a ventilation, but luckily no spirit
was lost. Mr. George Rawes came
dressed with cap and bells which kept
ringing ; Miss Strachan, from Walwa,
looked very nice In evening dress, and so
did Miss Laverty from Berringama. Mr.
P. Crawford, Corryong's best bowler, ap-
peared as an Indlan. The hall
tastefully decorated with evergreens and
flags. In fact the whole affair was well
managed. — " Border Morning Mall. "
