WESTERN PARK BAZAAR.

The Western Park Bazaar will be opened tins afternoon at :i o'clock by his Worship the Mayor. A rep'irtci peeped in at the Theatre Royal last night an 1 found the promoters' eomniiLtee hav<l at work. The interior of the building is being transformed, and in a remarkable manner. In the middle of the floor is a gaily draped hexagonal pagoda-liko structure. Here are the six principal stalls, 011 which are displayed fancy work, linen wjrk, poitery, art, and a splendid assortment of saleable articles. Other stalls, of attractive design, are situated in three corners of the hall, and hero are found sweets, dolls, produce, and a " men's stall," something new at a bazaar. The orchestral well is decked oyer, and hero is a boat decorated and illuminated, and lilled with giod thing* which should find a ready sale. The stage is set apart as an afternoon tea nnd supper room, and space is reserved for the splerdid orchestra engaged. The arrangement of the hall should facilitate tl'o promenading of the public, and greatly enhance the spectacular effect The Western Park committee, and scores of helpers, have spared 110 pains in the elaboration of their plans, and for avery worthy object—that of providing a good ground for recreat'on and amusement' The Park authorities liayc done well with the funds so far obtained, and may be depended 011 to use the same care and business acumen in expending the proceeds of this bazaar. We trust, and feel suro, that the attendance and support will bo laiv, and the result fully satisfactory to the promoters.
