The business done at the stalls was again brisk, another substantial total for the evening being the result. ■ The works oi art raffled resulted in a big business for the bazaar. The winners of raffles were as follow :—F. Percy (2), F. Treder, P. J. Morant (2), J. Jones, J. Dunn, L. Kerr, Mrs O'Toole, L. Clancy, J. Barnes, R. Cochrane, Miss J. Simmonds, Father O'Kelly, E. Hunt, Miss Rita Hoar, F. O'Connell, and Mrs Chapman. The officials again worked most assiduosly, the Very Rev.

Dunn, who has worked hard all along to ensure success. The bazaar will be open this afternoon from 2 to 5 o'clock, and also on Saturday afternoon.
