The members of the Northern Club gave a Jubilee ball in honor of His Excellency the Governor. The assemblage was a large and brilliant one. There were present the Earl of Onslow and suite, Admiral Lord Charles Scott, Lord Carrington, and the commanders and officers of the fleet at present in Auckland harbour, besides a large number of prominent citizens. Sir John and Lady Thurston were also invited. The club was beautifully decorated with festoons of flowers, with ferns, foliage, and flags.
