Lan Duncan, Dr. and Mrs. Whyto, Mrs. Neil Galbraith, and Mrs. Coull. all of them at tho same time stating their intention of helping in any way they could. It was decided that a "poster ball" should be held in the Town Hall on I'riday, July li, and that it should be, as well, a plain and fancy dross ball. The, different business firms are to be asked to co-operate by sending a representative to advertise, them by their poster dre.«, an entrance fee being charged Tho grand march of the posters, wit'i which the ball is planned to open, should be a most interesting sight to witness. The various sub-com-mittees, decorative, advertising and printing, supper, etc.. have not yet been fully formed, owing to some of the_ members being absent. Mrs. Algar Williams was appointed honorary secretary, and Mrs. F. Leckio honorary treasurer.' There are few people who now do not know of the invaluable work done by the society in regard to the health of the babies of the city, a work that is deserving of every support and consideration, and the ball, which takes place next month, gives mest people an opportunity of assisting it in a greater or less degree. .. . A Pastry Competition, Tho pastry competition, which was held in the industrial, section of the Exhibition yesterday, resulted in Miss Carter, with 71 varieties of pastry, winning the first prize, and Miss W. Sims the second. Miss Ncllio Bassett and Miss Lena Findlay were both highly commended. In this competition, all those who entered for it had to make as many varieties of pastry out of two cups of flour and half a pound of butter as possible, and Miss Carter's exhibits were ,a revelation of what could bo done. Size, of course, was not looked for. Mrs. James Godbcr was the judge. Next Wednesday prizes will .bo offered for, the.,daintiest bl.ou.se-made | by competitors. -» J< "' : - >■•■•■ '■<■•'>>■■>-■"'■ i'lbzu-u The Sheffield Choir.
