BA7AAR, —A hamar wail held on Tuesday last within
the old Castle ruins, in ell of the funds for providing an
organ for OA parish church. Some months ago the
project was mooted when tho Earl of Eldon promised •
liberal donation, and the Rector seconded the offer.
Subsequently about EIS was raised by • coiner*. Ready
assistance was given in forming the bazaar, and •
varied and beautifel lot of goods was eollerited The
bells pealed forth merry music, soul Mr. Uphill with
ready ssaistants gave the place a holiday aspect. Mr.
C. W. Dessalioud, of the Greyhound inn, contributed
to the decorative arrangements by erecting a very pretty
arch of evergreens and Sowers, which spread a •• Wel-
come" over the ruined entrance to the Cootie. The
marquee was nicely decorated. Flowers, all descrip-
tions of needlework, crayon drawings and water-colour
paintings of the Dorset coast by Lady Selina Bond and
Lady Rachel Scott, toys of all sorts, moss and
shell batketa, a porker (I) and • variety of
knick-nacks made up the fancy fair. A poor ,
crippled lad, named William Bargees, who has
been helplessly afflicted for the last IS months, but who
was allowed to occupy • couch in an adjoining tent,
contributed tht ee or four models of cottages, ingeniously
constructed of the pith of the rush, and found a ready
sale. There was also • well executed model of a chetah j
and an enormous model of • war vessel was the subject,
we understand, of raffle. In the rear of the counters
was • varied assortment of children's apparel, and useful
pieses of needlework, amongst which was • quilt, the
patchwork for which was made by the black children
at the infant school at Lagos, In South AMC*. ! In the
centre of the table wan • tree, hung about with in-
aumerable knick-knacks, whilst in another part of the
teat was a profuse assortment of trinkets made of
seadrepore and Brighton pebbles., kindly contributed
by Mr. Pinney. A handsome painted screen also
attracted much attention, whilst illuminated texts
and pictures went to make up • gorgeous display.
Miss ilollis, to whose active and painstaking
ndeavours must be attributed mainly the success
achieved, wee sedated in the distioud of the
wares by the Lady Rachel Seott, the Misses Bourke,
Miss Truell, Miss Marriott, Miss Cooper, Mrs. Dixon.
Miss Bennett, Miss Bankes and Kim Doyne. Soon after
three o'clock the visitors began to arrive in rapid
succession, and among the early arrival' were the Enrl
and Countess of Eldon, who appeared to take the
liveliest interest in the proceedings. Amongst those
present we also observed—tte Rev. Prebendary and Mrs.
Bond, Mr. G. Bond, Mrs. Truett, Mr. J. H. Calmat t,
Rev. Eldon Surtees Banker, Mrs. and Miss Bullies, Rev.
Re Marriott and party. Mr. and Mrs. G. Filliter, Sirs.

Bennett, Mrs. and the Misses Morris, Mrs. W. C. Luny
sad party, Mrs. and Miss Henke+ (Kingston Lacey).
Lieut. Bankes, Mrs. and Miss Burrowes, Mrs. Freeman,
Miss Tynte, Mrs. W. Waters, Mrs. J. Wat.r, and
family, Mira Enyingharn, Mies Malan, Mrs. W. Vows, the
Missed Pye, Kra sad the Misses Pike, Mr. J. Kent,
Mr. Tuaker, Mr. and Mrs. Jeetson, has Potter, Mr.
and Mrs. Dishy, Mr. It Taylor, dm, Immediately
adjoining the beam was a tent in sharp of Mrs.
Burt, where tea and refreshments were provided. The
Corfe Castle and Kingston bands, under the leadership
of Kr. F. White and Mr. Hooper respectively, played
a selection ef popular airs. " Piggy " whose squealing
during the afternoon was quite sufficient to advertise
that it was to be raffled for was no disposed of about four
o'clock. The drawing created a vast amount of fan, and
the laughter became boisterous as Mr. G. Fllliter was
proclaimed the owner of the " little besot;." Mr.
Finiter made a present of the pig to a poor invalid,
residing in the village, amod Edmunds, who with facie
aglow, married off the prise, etruggling and squealing.
Thanks are due to Mr. K.ent, th, occupier of the
grounds for so readily placing them at the disposal of
the promoters of the bazaar. The sale was continued on
Wednesday, when the prices of admission were reduced
and the attendance was consequently more numerous
Nearly all the articles were sold, and no doubt we
shall bear of a very respectable addition having thus
been realised to the organ fund. The instrument, we
understand is to be supplied by Messrs. Nicholson, of
Worcester, at a cost of between £3OO and £4OO.
