Murray, the sale of work was conducted in the more commodious hall in the Exchange Buildings. The anticipations of the management in regard to annual progress of the sale were quite realised, tor the spacious room was thronged with van appreciative attendance during the whole of the afternoon and evening, and the function proved a great success from every point of view. The various stalls were most artistically stocked with a profusion of goods, and the energetic stall holders experienced a very busy time.
