Arrangements for the grand concert on Friday were completed. It was arranged that a torch-lijirht procession be held from the Bed Efouse Hotel to the post office, commencing at 7 p.m. sharp. Many people may perhaps enquire what- i« to be done with the money that the Pierrots will raise on Saturday next, and how it is to be expended. A pertinent answer to any such questions is this; Have a look at Baker and Co.'s windows, which hundreds of hold-alls are now on view, in fact, the place is packed with them. This is only one of the items that is due to the work of the Women's Committee who are earnestly hacking up the merry Pierrots in their laudable effort on June 30.
