Tournament Dance.

The attempt to obtain the Town Hall for this important function, having proved futile owing to the enterprise of a bazaar committee for whose benefit, to judge by the priority of the engagement, the building seems chiefly to have been erected, the Sydney Street Schoolroom had once more to be secured. page 49 The hall was decorated with festoons of Lycopodium and other foliage, relieved at intervals by photos of the various College teams, while the supper room presented an equally pleasing appearance. At the beginning, the floor space seemed somewhat cramped, and many ladies who had been rash enough to come in all the glory of a lengthy train, rued their temerity as they saw it trodden under some ruthless heel. Towards eleven o'clock however, after the stern dictator had made the rounds, and driven before him a luckless band composed of those who had tennis to play off on the morrow, the hall was just comfortably filled. Several of the tennis players evaded capture by such skilful tactics as screen movements, and caused great surprise by their reappearance amongst the dancers. The supper was much appreciated, and altogether the dance was a great success, reflecting much credit on the management committee and its energetic secretary, R. St. J. Beere.
