Licensed Victuallers' Ball
Licensed victuallers from all parts of the Nelson province (and from outside, also), converged on the Redwood Hall at the showgrounds for the trade's annual ball. As usual, tickets to this very popular social occasion were at a premium and many missed out. (Pix by Peter Cooper Studio).
