Children's Hospital Ball at Sandgate
The ball at tbe Sandgate Town Hall last
evening, in aid of the Children's Hospital,
was a great success. The funotion was
arranged by the Mayor (Mr. A. W. Field)
as a substitute for the usual Mayor's ball, the
idea being that benefit might accrue to a
charitable institution. With this object in
view, Mayor Field defrayed all tbe expenses
which usuully attend a ball, and in this Sense
he may be said to have given it. A small
charge was mado for admission, the whole
proceeds of which will go to the Children's
Hospital, and with the usual Government
subsidy this should become a welcome addi
tion to tho funds of the institution. The de-
tailed arrangements of the bell, supper and
so forth, were under the able direction of the
mayoress (Mrs. A. W. Field), who had with
her a number of ladies whose willing help
greatly facilitated the numerous duties which
the evening entailed. The hall had been
profusely yet tastefully decorated with pot
plants, shrubs, and flags, and with the bright
colours of the ladies' costumes made a cheer-
fully animated scene. The children who
were supposed to have been in the ascendant
were outnumbered by the ohildren of more
mature years, but tho dancing was so
arranged as to give opportunities for both.
The children had their share of the pro
gramme till 9.30, when supper was served to
them on the stage, the adults meanwhile
tripping to an "extra." After that the
dances were for the adults, and except for the
interval for supper, dancing was continued
till about 2 a.m. Tho Mayor and Mayoress
were indefatigable in the role of host
and hostess. Mr. G. J. Jarrott pre
sided at tho piano. The fancy costumes were
not numerous, among them being the follow
ing: Miss Daisy Field, Spanish girl; Mr.
Harrop, court gentleman of the sixteenth
century; Miss Gertrude Jackson (Sunny-
bank), Scotch lassie; Miss Katy Jackson,
Bopeep ; Miss Leontine Driver, bluebell ;
