The attendance was quite satisfactory, •while the stall-holders did good business. All stalls were well laden, and it was evident that tho canvassers had not been idle. A Xmas tree, bran tubs, guessing competitions, shooting gallery, etc., were also successfully run, and were the means of bringing in substantial sums. The plain, stall was under the supervision of Mrs Huthwaite, assisted by Mrs Wilson and Mrs Baker;, the fancy stall was in charge of Miss 'Caldwell, who took Miss Neil mid's place, who was indisposed. Miss Caldwell was assisted by Mrs ’Swabey, and Misses Webby and Underwood.
