A successful euchre party and dance was carried out at the Dwyer’s Creek Public School on Friday night, 14^th inst. The night was not ideal for the function, but nevertheless the people turned up in good numbers to patronize such a worthy object. The euchre commenced at 8.30 p.m. and 11 games were played. Miss Phyllis Holroyd was declared the winner of the lady’s prize and Mr. Alan Stubbs the winner of the gent’s prize. Mr. L. Coppin got the third prize. After the euchre refreshments, tastefully supplied by the parents and residents of Dwyer’s Creek, were partaken of. The school was then cleared and dancing was indulged in till the wee small hour of the morning. …

Mr. G. Constable, local Agent, received the following information from the I. and S.C.S.N. Company: – “We have to say that at the present time there is no prospect of being able to send cargo direct into Moruya per steamer. We are at present conferring in Sydney with regard to what is the best thing to do in removing the ‘Benandra.’ We have been endeavoring to pick up a small vessel to do the work in the meantime, but there is difficulty in getting a suitable vessel. It is possible that the insurance companies will not insure a vessel trading to the port. Under the circumstance we thought the better thing to do was to send the cargo from here on to Bateman’s Bay. Consignees can get delivery there, and should we be successful in arranging for a drougher to run between Bateman’s Bay and Moruya any cargo then remaining in Moruya could be droughered round.” … It is a very difficult problem, however, and it likely to be a month at least before the entrance is clear.
