Conisborough Cricket Club Annual Ball

The annual ball in aid of the Conisborough Cricket Club was held last night at the Conisborough Board Schools, when there was a large and fashionable company present.

The school was prettily decorated and furnished by Mrs G Appleyard and Sons, the Arrangement of the rooms being a ballroom, a drawing room, a cardroom, a refreshment room and Ladies and Gentlemen Cloakrooms.

Flags and seasonal devices made the walls attractive, and the effect was extremely pleasing.

Messrs G Appleyard & Sons also laid the Holland in the ballroom.

Furniture for the Rooms was lent by Mr Norwood, Mrs Norwood, Mrs Smith and Mrs Appleyard; while Mrs G Walker, JP, WH Chambers and WW Norwood lent Plants for the Decoration.

The eatables were, however, prepared and cooked for the supper by Mrs Crookes, Mrs McCall, Mrs W.W. Norwood, Miss Norwood, Miss Ogley, Miss Appleyard, Mrs T Booth, Mrs W Smith, Mrs T Nesbitt and Mrs G Crossland.
