“JUMBUNNA HOTEL.”
Mr. Kurrle, the proprietor of the newly erected hotel at Jumbunna, entertained about 50 of his friends at a banquet on Thursday evening last to celebrate the opening.
Among those present were Messrs. R. S. B. Young, Radovick, Breton, Long, Horsley, Dr. McKenzie, Shiels, Gerrand, A. Mackay, Grant, S. Davies, and Eadie.
The banquet room was splendidly laid out, and after full justice had been done to the good things provided, the following toasts were proposed and responded to:
- “The Queen,” proposed by Mr. Young.
- “Parliament,” proposed by Mr. Long, and responded to by Dr. McKenzie.
- “The New Hotel and Host,” proposed by Mr. S. Davis of Flemington, and supported by Messrs. Radovick and Eadie; responded to by Mr. Kurrle.
- “The Township and Mine,” proposed by Mr. Oliphant, and responded to by Messrs. Long, Briggs, Gerrand, Horsley, and Grant.
The “Ladies” and “Press” brought a most enjoyable dinner to a conclusion, everything passing off with the greatest éclat.
In the evening Mr. Kurrle gave a ball in the Public Hall, which was largely attended.
