Honouring a Returned Soldier.
There was a very pleasant gathering at Mr G. Wurth's, Eurunderee, last night, when the members of the Federal Tennis Club and their friends assembled to do honour to Trooper James BUCHOLTZ, and to present him with a token of their esteem. The ladies provided a delightful gipsy tea, and the proceedings were enlivened by the playing of the Mudgee Town Band under Lieutenant Sheppard. The presentation was made by Mr Elliot, school teacher at Eurunderee, when a few well-chosen words welcomed the returned soldier, and asked him to accept the gold pendant medal as a tangible token of the public regard. The medal was the work of Mr Walter Mason, jeweller, Mudgee, and was a beautiful specimen of the goldsmith's art. His Worship the Mayor of Cudgegong, (Alderman Rheinberger), and Mr Lord endorsed Mr Elliot's remarks, and Trooper BUCHOLTZ suitably responded. A very pleasant time was afterwards spent in various games and dancing, and songs were rendered by Messrs E. Doswell, Charlie Morrow, Alec Cameron, and a recitation by Mr H. Lord. Before the gathering dispersed Alderman Rheinberger called for three cheers for the Mudgee Band.
