THE ASHBURTON: GUARDIAN WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1892.



At the Supreme Court, at Timaru, on Tuesday the ease of Knapp y Lublow, claim £1000 for the loss of an arm, injuries received by plaintiff when working m defendant's flaxmill at Westerneld,judgment was given for defendant with costs. Report of the case is held over. The evening party with which the Ash burton Football Club celebrated the close of the season took place on Tuesday evening at the Oddfellows' Hall. J>o far as the foot ballers themselves were concerned a more generally acceptable form of entertainment might have been adopted, many of them not being dancing men, but otherwise the party was as pleasant and. successful as could be wished. The arrangements were excel lent—and here we must say that regret was expressed, that Mrs Alfred Curtis, who was untiring m her efforts en behalf of the foot ballers, was prevented by indisposition from being present.* Mrs Thomas and Mrs Cox with Mr Leicester Matson, secretary, and the Committee, were most assiduous m seeing that everything went rightly. About fifty couples were present, including visitors from Christchurch, Timaru, and other dis tricts. The ladies' dresses were charming, j Mr Fleming's music perfect, and the refresh meats supplied by Mrs Banger very nice and suitable to the occasion. During the even ing several ladies and gentlemen gave songs —one with violin obbligato and piano ' accompaniment being noteworthy—and the footballers sung their Club song (which recently appeared m our columns) and a song by " The Chaplain," with chorus. Bvery- I body present enjoyed the party very much.
