We perceive by advertisement that the fancy bazaar, in aid of the funds of the College Cadet Company and Athletic Sports Club, open to-morrow, at throe p.m., and the dramatic entertainment, by the pupils, in the College Theatre, at four and seven p^m. each day. The arrangements have been completed, and everything promises more than success. The programme is varied and attractive, and admission only sixpence. We need not add a word in urging one and all to pay the College a visit, aa we have heard that about 500 tickets have already been sold, evidently looking forward to a treat ■which has not been obtained, of this sort, for many months past. We cannot refrain from noticing the efforts of Mr. Baird in this, as in other entertainments which he has superintended, for the benefit of his pnpils. The boys seem to enter heart and soul into everything proposed, and are full of spirits as regards their present efforts to keep ap their former reputation.

We trukt that the objects aimed at by the movement will bo as fully realised in the coming year as in the past year.

The werks on the Grafton Road, are progressing in a most highly satisfactory manner. The deep cutting, which will remove the crest of the hill, is Being excavated with vigour, and bhe material from it deposited beside the embaukmeat at the foot, is fust widening 4iie narrow ridge, over whi<»h vehicles had to pass in terror. We are glad to perceiys that bobio of the minor streets are receiving the altention of the watering carts. High-street and Durhamstreet lane were this , morning in a at ate of moisture, more conducive to comfort than when pervaded by clouds of impalpable dust.

The high reputation Olson 8 tomato sauce as obtained a* a. household condiment, has brought many inferior articles into the market The public are, therefore warned not to be imposed upon with rubbish, but ask for Olson's genuine tomato sauce, and see that hi* name is on the bottle.
