WESTERFIELD.

From Our Own Corrcaponttont

Although not recorded m your paper, an event took place at Lagmhor a short time •go, which has remained a pleating retro iipect m tha minds of the residents of this district. This event consisted of a couieit and ball given by the employees on the estate named, to which their friends and neighbors were invited. Needless to say, this ball Bnd concert, like everything of the kind taking place at La; mhor, was a pro nounced success. The good people of Westerfield, who have ever been loyal to Lagmhor, gave a return ball oa the night of Friday, the 9th iust., m the schoolroom. This also was a brilliant affair, but would have been more comfortable had it been held on a moonlight night m place of one of the darkest nights m the year. It ought to be a specialty that, where practicable, country parties should be arranged to take place at or near the full of the moon, especially where some of the guests may have to cross rivers. We read m the Mail some time ago that at a neighboring social the singing of a certain star of the evening was much admired. At Weitetfield on the evening of the 9 h there were present a whole con stellation, rod although some of them may not have entertained the company With the music of the spheres, they did bo ia a marked degree with the poetry of motion, while gracefully gyrating m the orbits allotted to them. The company consisted of fifty couples, com prising ■ the brightest spirits of both sexes from it agmhor, Greenatreet, and our own district. Mr T. Grace made an efficient M.O. Mr J. Cook, the much esteemed new schoolmaster, gave np hia sitting-room, warmed with a good fire, to be utilised by the ladies a* a dressing room. The gentle men had the nas of his kitchen for the imui purpose. Mr Cook acted as Secretary for the Committee, who did their duty well, and to the satisfaction of everyone. Mes dames Wilson, Hannagan, and Morris, managed the supper room, and this duty could not have been placed m better hands. Mr Cook and several of the gentle men present acted as waiters. The supper itself wm simply excellent; music for the rianoea was performed on the violin by Mr vV, Anderson, on the bagpipes by Mr M. McDonald, on the concertina by Miss O'Grady and Mr McLeod ; songs were sung by Miss Frew, and Messrs McDonald and Frew; recitations were given by Messrs Helem and Digby; and Mr T. Mahoney danced an Irish jrg as only an Irish boy can. Songs, dancing, ftc, were kept up till 4 a.m. when, ths company parted with regret, : after giving three cheers for Westerfisld. i

THE SECOND TEST MATCH.

(Received Wakapuaka June 20, 9 50 ft.m, Guardian Office 10.30 a.m) Loncon, June 19 The sporting newspapers, commenting on the test match, attribute the defeat to the early collapse of the English batting and the absence of a fast bowler. They admit the superiority of the Australian bowling and fielding, and advise that the next English team should include reliable professional batsmen. Younger and more brilliant cricketers have been tried and found wanting. They suggest that either Bland, of Sussex, or Bradley, of Kent, Bbould be selected as a fast bowler.

Football —A match will be played m the Domain on Thursday, between the.Geraldine and Ashburton Football Clubs. Although the looal team will be weakened m the back division, through the absence of the Purchase brothers and Lynskey, they still hope to be able to give their opponents a good game* Owing co the visitors having to leave by the 545 train, play will commence at 1.30 p.m. sharp. Footballers will be pleased to hear that the two dubs have decided to share the expenses of getting a first class referee from Christchurch for this match. His rulings should therefore be watched with interest by the local players, as he will give them some idea of how the game is played m the larger towns this season.
