(From our own correspondent.) August 28. For some considerable time past the pupils of Rosary Convent have been working very hard making useful and ornamental articles, with a view to raise funds for improvements at the convent, including fences and gates. On Thursday last a very successful sale of work was opened in St. Joseph's Hall, and the arrangements reflected the greatest., credit on the young ladies responsible for the same. The stalls were prettily decorated, and a good volume of business was done on the three days during which the bazaar was open. Close upon £IOO had been received up to Saturday night, which speaks well for the energy of the stallholders and assistants. A good orchestra brightened up the proceedings considerably. The various stalls were in charge of the following* young ladies :—Fancy, Misses J. O'Leary and K. O'Meara; doll, Misses Shirres and K. Ardagh; sweets, Misses Peggy Toomey, Dorothy Hart, and Dorothy" Sewell; refreshments, Miss Babs Ward; dip, Misses Fennerhy, Lynch, and Pringle. All of the workers are to be congratulated on the success achieved.
