Guyra Ghost Just Fails to Win at Coursing Meet
At Armidale coursing, the dog Guyra Ghost failed to win, showing potential beyond a mere ghost of a chance. A social on November 11 hosted by the South Guyra Tennis Club at Oddfellows Hall drew about sixty couples with festive fancy costumes. Miss Kirwan led ladies’ attire, Mr. Mather as Indian Prince won best gentleman costume, and Mr. Carroll won the comic section. The Guyra Bram Band provided music with extras by Mrs. Sweeney and others. Recent disturbances near William Bowen’s “The Mystery House” involved stone throwing, with local police doubts about Minnie Bowen’s involvement. A wedding at Cameron Memorial Church in Glen Innes united Ella Irene and Harold Alfred Bell, with gifts described, and the couple plans a honeymoon en route to their new home “Newenden” in Guyra.
