ANGLICAN BAZAAR. As already reported tho Anglic t n bazaar, promoted to extinguish the debt on the Parish hall, was opened on Thursday afternoon last ia perfect weather, the result being a larse and representative gathering. Lady Makgill performed the op'ening ceremony in an appropriate speech and was afterwards presented with a beautiful bouquet by the Vicar's little daughter Moilio. Mrs Vaughan was president of tho bazaar and was assisted by Hie following ladies who were in charge of tho various stalls .----Guild Stall : Me -dames Walter Smith and Woodward, assisted by Misses Hull. Makgill and Swain. Plain and Fancy Stall: Mesdames Greenhead, Barnaby and Bregmen. Sweets Stall: Mrs C. Bischoff assisted by Misses Brine, Palmer and Preece. Soft Drinks : Miss Harris. Buttonholes and Pot Plants: Misses Grimmer. Produce Stall : Miss McGowan. The refreshment tent, where dainty afternoon tea was served, and also strawberries and cream, was in charge of Mrs J. Gribble, assisted by Misses Woodward, Sedgwick, Cunic and M. Browne.

The Christmas tree and fifh pond were in charge of Mesdamfs Moffitt and F. Garland, and were much appreciated by the children.

The bazaar was continued three days and on Saturday night when there was a crowded attendance.

The Vicar worked very hard all through in erecting tho stalls and decorating, also the Vicar's wajrden, Mr A. King, and was ably assisted in tho evenings by Messrs J. Gribble and H. King. Mr Percy Flexman gave the freo use of his large marquee as a refreshment tent.

HEAVY RAIN AND WIND. The heavy rains cf Tuesday morning gave place to a wind of cyclonic force in the afternoon and much damage must have resulted to fruit trees. Mr David Makgill had a narrow escape, as during tho height of the storm ho was just passing a miacrocarpa tree when it fell with a crash and missed bim by a few inches. The new oil vessel Waiuku on iier trip from Onehunga had the full force of the gaje and shipped a heavy sea which washed away two deck seats. She behaved very w'ell through it all and proved herself a good sea-boat. /

tire schooner Elsie lost her rudder on the way up from Onehunga and had to be taken in tow by the Waiuku and brought in. BACK AT WORK.

The bricklayers and carpenters resumed work on the Post Office building to-day (Wednesday).
