MudgeeGNWR: Leadville Mems. A most enjoyable evening was spent at Mr. and Mrs. GAMBLE's residence on Saturday night last [11.1.1902]. About a week ago their son Joseph returned from the front in Africa, after serving his second term at the Boer war. The day he arrived here the people met him with coaches and sulkies nicely decorated, and at night time entertained him at a ball and supper, so in recognition of their kindness, Mr. and Mrs. GAMBLE, sen., gave a return social, which I think was one of the very best ever held here. The guests were invited to a dance in the hall kindly placed at the host's disposal by Mr. MASON. At
11 o'clock the company adjourned to the residence of Mr. GAMBLE, sen., and partook of a splendid supper, which I must say did great credit to the taste of the ladies who had charge of the arrangements. The room was beautifully decorated. There were over 70 couples present, and all seemed to enjoy themselves, and left for their respective homes at 12pm, thoroughly satisfied with the evening's enjoyment. During the evening several songs were contributed.
