The Bazaar.

The Public Hall on Saturday night was better attended than on any of the previous nights of the bazaar. The attractions offered at the several stalls had lost none of their power, and a large quantity of material was disposed of. Notwithstanding this and the heavy drain there had already been on the bazaar stock resources of the ladies, yet enough remains to form the nucleus of another, -should it be deemed necessary. The; side shows were entirely changed and new pieces presented.. In the firet part the Tableax were— Ebtae, ••• Idyl* of the King," Miss A. Roe; Dumb Man, Mr Gosling : Mary Queen of Scotte, Mrs Macarthur; Headsman, Mr Gosling ; Maid of Athens, Miss V. laddie; Lam Byron, Mr Eoe; Night, Mist Atkins ; Morning, Miss Rutherford ; Father Christmas, Mr SherwiHfßoPee^ Miss Bull. The second show., was a concert, when Miss Ellen Atkins, Mr Gilmer and; Mr Grossman sang a varied selection with their usual taste and feeliiig. The third Bhow consisted of imitations of ancient statuary, and thcrrepresentations were simply beautiful. They were— Pygmalion, Mr Gilmer ; Galatea, Miss Beattie ;. Daphne, . Miss Liddell ; r . Justice, Miss : Ada Bray j Bacchus, Mr Sherwill; Bacchantes, Miss M. and Miss K % !Ruth«rfer4 ; Brittania, Mrs Macarthur ; Three Graces, Miss Atkins, and the Misses Gosling. The ffinttte <inm^% grand scenic effect by the whole of the figures being assembled on the stage in their several positions. When the red and blue fire lit thetn up the spectacle- was niagnifieent. Later in the evening the byidesnaida who had appeared in Trial by-Jwy danced the, maypole dance. Whan assembled and took their places they looked charming, but the admira* tion they excited appeared to have* somewhat confusing effect upon fnsm and the figures of the fianee-wsra somewhat marrpd in ;conseqnene#; However, at it* eoncluwonr. they were " rapturously" applauded: vfii concluding this necessarily brietnotica ! of the bazaar, we taust cotnplHb»at the ladies on the success which Aey have acheived. To win this: thely have spared neither time nor^ labot; They have kept the one object steadily in view for months past, during whicw * their untiring industry guided bfnaturai talent and acquired skilltfhas -' produced a splendid variety of articles nhich combined artistio skill with beauty, and utility. . The. whole proceeds of the bazaar amount to £183,^ and as theexpousos hava not exceeded £30, the very handsome sum of £159^ has now been placed *° the credit oi^ the church funds. . :.■:■'&•'&•»&&;
