All the items were under the direction of Miss Anthony. Miss Sheehan acted as accompanist. The following is a list of the stalls -.—Left bower — Stallholders, Mrs. Rose and Miss Hargraves ; assistants, Miss Rose and Miss McCarthy. Right bower— Stallholders, Mrs. McGrath and Mrs. Tulloch ; assistants, Mrs. Sutherland, Miss Sutton, and Miss Gillholey. The joker— Mrs. McNeish and Mrs. Mclntyre Lollies, Miss Urwin. Ferns, Mrs. Gilroy and Miss Gilroy. Tea rooms, Mrs. Finnerty and Mrs. Vettie; assistants, Miss Mclntyre and Miss Vettie. The assistants in the hall were Misses McDonald, Hamilton, Williamson, Metzger, McGrath, E. Urwin, and Gibson. The hall, and especially the stage, were beautifullj r decorated with greenery and bunting. On Thursday night a concert was held, under the direction of Mrs. Murphy.
