THE WESLEYAN BAZAAR.

There was a good attendance of visitors, to the Bazaar last night, and in " Corner " parlance a very fair, amount of business was dene. The inflow to the building way steady and constant; but moat that entered did sp with a smile, and although' knowing that &• chances were—that he or she. would be done—yet chanced it, But there is something innate in male human nature, that seems to relish a risk whether in choosing a wife or in going in for, a raffle" for a cushion, or any other trifle for sale at a bazaar: and really what harm is there in it. The lottery last night caused great fun. ' The telegraph caused an immense'amount x>f amusement amongst the young,: folks. ' To-night should be .the grand one for sucpess; many men will come in from the hills,* and there ii no class of men who like to give to a charitable object, yet have a laugh over it more than the Thamesminers. Mr. Eeid, withS several ladies, gave; some good piano music. The' Cornish glee singers also assisted, as did the Naval band. The receipts at the stalls; doors anjd telegraph reached £60 15s 114 a few pounds of ihe''previous* day's taking?. The whole proceeds of the bazaar should reach £250, and our Wealeyan friends must not forget that; other denominations have taken the kind, hintjthe Mayor gave them* and, should it be required, help those who helped them. Our town' folk * should that money spent at a bazaar is spent amongst ourselves, and does not leave the place. There was a rumour that some old Cramf wellians objected to tlio lottery buiineW, but it is strongly suspected that they were made victims, spite of their prejudices, iir the same manner that others were beguiled into making purchases of no earthly use to them. It is unwise to mention the names of the numerous ladies assisting, for if you leave one out there is sure to be a wigging for somebody. ' '
