SALVATION ARMY SALE OF WORK.

The annual sale of work in aid of the Salvation Army Self-Denial Fund was opened in the Masterton Barracks, last evening, and the function gives promise of being as great a success as its predecessors. The hall was tastefully decorated and the general appearance of the stalls, which were heavily laden with a great variety of articles, reflects the greatest credit on the organisers of the sale of work. There are two fancy stalls, one for the Senior Corps and the other for the Junior Corps. The former is in charge of Misses Barker and Chapman, and the latter is in charge of Miss Swenson and Mesdames Spackman and Threadwell. MesJames Lord and Fielding have control of the refreshment stall. A rather quaint-looking stall is that containing the "Boys' Exhibition," on the platform. This contains all kinds of curios which the boys of the Sunday School take a delight in showing. The weighing-machine and the galvanic battery, in charge of Mr D. Threadwell and Miss Barker, respectively, are attractive features. The attendance was large last evening, and business was brisk, with the result that the stallholders were kept extremely busy. During the evening the following contributed to the musical programmer—Misses Toby, Swenson, Wilton, and Messrs Mannell, Wellington, Barker, Steer and Batchelor. The sale of work will be continued this evening.
