CHRISTIAN BROTHERS’ BAZAAR.

The bazaar in aid of the funds «f the Christian Brothers* School was opened at the University Hall at two o’clock to-day, and there was immediately a good attendance of the public, although many people had gone out of town for the day's holiday. It was only decided to hold the bazaar about a month ago, and those ladies and gentlemen who worked the matter up have done wonders in providing in so short a time so large a quantity of articles as cover the five stalls in the hall. The Artillery Band will perform during part of the day, and in the evening a promenade concert will be held, at which Miss Hessford, Miss Webb, Mr Denovan, and many other of our local amateur and professional musicians will give their services. A number of original paintings and some excellent engravings are hung upon the walls, and these will be disposed of by art union on Friday evening, the closing day of the bazaar. . ?° - . * stall, on the right hand side on entering the hall is presided over by Mrs Pergnson and Mrs Fisher, assisted by Misses Mansford and Stamper. It contains a finely-worked fender stool, sofa cushions, bannerets, dolls and their clothing, children s clothing, and many other articles of use and value. At stall No. 2 Mrs Norman and Miss Donelly officiate, together with Misses Hesfofd and Smith. On it are to be found the usual variety of useful and pretty articles, and it has special attractions in the shape of a tastefully-dressed bridal doll, two or three dolls as big as children, alive canary in its cage, some handsome slippers, a smoking cap elaborately worked, a silver cake basket, and a large lamp. Mesdames Griffen, Carroll, and Leary, looked after stall No. 3, assisted by the Misses Bonuey. A silver-mounted dressing case, and a silver service form prominent features of this stall, and they are supplemented by some handsome specimens of wool and needlework of all kinds, and endless varieties of fancy articles. Stall No. 4is superintended by Mrs Scanlnn and Miss M Kay, who will have the services also of Misses Seaman, Hayes, and M'Beatb. It is fairly covered with beautiful articles, and also contains many useful ones, those specially wort-y of notice being a siver tea set, a bassinette, a sewing-machine, and some handsome lamps. At stall No, 5 Mrs Watson and Mrs Connor have charge of a wbeel-of-fortuue and a lucky b.nr with which they will dispose of a quantity of g-nocls. In addition to the above a refreshment stall is laid out m tho recess at the right hand side of the hall, which Mr Laue has supplied with drinkables, and several ladies and gentlemen with more solid articles of food, these will be dispensed by Mesdames Carroll, Martin, and Court. Altogether the University Hall presents an admirable appearance, and as nearly all the goods to bo disposed of are really good, we anticipate a crowded attendance every day and a good result to the bazaar financially.
