ARCHDIOCESE OF WELLINGTON (From our own. correspondents April 20. A bazaar in aid of the Lower Hutt school building will be opened on Monday evening next. Everything is well in hand for a successful season, and Very Rev. Father Lane and his committee are doing everything possible to make the bazaar an attractive one. Mr, James Shaldrick, of Onehunga, was in Wellington during the week on business. Shaldrick is well known in Hibernian circles, having represented the Wellington branch at the district meetings in Auckland, and whilst in Wellington found time to confer with the Wellington officers.

St. Anne's carnival and fancy fair was brought to a conclusion on Wednesday evening after a successful run of eleven nights. Good business was done at all the stalls. On Saturday the members of St.. Anne's Choir contributed to the evening's entertainment," and on Monday and Tuesday evenings special dances were put on, and St. Anne's Drum and Fife Band enlivened the proceedings with their music. On Wednesday evening the Ven. Archdeacon Devoy, S.M., who has had a most busy time in connection with the bazaar, was presented with an armchair to mark the occasion of his birthcfay. The ladies and gentlemen connected with the bazaar worked hard to make it a success, and are to be congratulated on the result of their work. The takings so far have reached the sum of £SOO, which will nearly cover the cost of enlarging the hall, which cost £536. The art union will be drawn on Monday evening, and a social will be tendered to the lady stallholders, their assistants, and the committee at a date to be fixed later. ' ;
