At'(.no bulloou dopot in Maimers Street were Mrs. Martin and Airs. Keith liirkculdio, wlio had a busy time getting tne balloons ready and issuing tliein to llie sellers. Uil sudi a grey day as .yesterday, the \vivid patches of colour made ijv the girls with their clusters of ba.ioo.is, bright blue, yellow, pinlc, and crmroii, delighted the eye and cheered tho heart of the unfortunates inclined to be downcast by diurnal conditions. And yet another touch of colour was by tin? gipsies and their ciirnvun tftm tooli part in the procession and sold tlieir produce, llmra's and vegetables. Airs. ltobinson was in charge, and with her were Airs, liurle (senior), Mrs. Giblin, Airs. Curtis, her sou Jack ami little niece, Aioeline Pritchard.
Tho ilowers which wero sold throughout the day were very lovely nnd were plentiful, although the organiser of tlie appeal, lira. J. Darling, and those associated with her greatly feared that the storm would have interfered with their supplies. The badges .of exemption were also sought after. These badges were very attractive and were designed by Mr. Atkins. Of invalulible assistance iii connection with the appeal was Jlr. Jacobsen, who donated the balloons and did so much in other directions. This morning the appeal will be continued, when budges and balloons will again be sold. The ligirt'cs of yesterday's takings arc not yet available.
