SIIEBBORNE.
THE GRAND BAZAAR AT SHERBORNE.
The objects of the grand bazaar which was hell on
Thursday and Friday were for the benefit of the
Yeatman Hospital, (wtioh, by the way, is nmeh in
need of increased ,temen-t), and the fund for the
recent enlargement and improvement of the organ at
the Abbey Church, which has amounted to nearly
,d which about £lOO had been promised.
The arrangements for the carrying-nut of the
bazaar were entrusted to the committee, who per-
formed their dnties admirably. Among them were
Mrs. G. it Wingfield Digby, Lady Glyn. the Honour-
able Mrs. Portman. the Honourable Mrs Walter
' Portman, Lady Medlycott, Lady Smith, Mrs. C. S.
Glyn, Mrs. Goodden, Mrs. Lynn, MI,. Benthall, Mrs.
Hutchings, Mrs. Ireatrnan. Rev. W. H. Lyon, Major
Falwaseer, Messrs, F. Stokes, A. Willmott,
Benthall, L H. Ruegg, It. En-sir, &c. That a
genuine spirit of liberality prevailed among the
inhabitants of the town and neighleturhood in this
undertaking, WM evinced by the numerous eontribu.
tbms that were sent to the committee. not have
heard on more than one occasion the wish expressed
for a better Town Hall—a public building with a
better entrance, with better ventilation, and with
more couvenience and accommodation—and this feeling
had general expression on Thursday from the strangers
who visited the town. The potpie of Sherborne do
not want to be told that such a building it required to
make a sncee.s "a complete success ;" but perhaps,
they are waiting, in regard to a Town Hall, as are the
good people at Martock, for gas; for a private
gentleman from I.ollllllln to come down, carry ,nit alt
the necessary arrangement., without thus being called
upon to subscribe a farthing ! We leave the fact for
them to consider, to pass on to review the inside of the
building, which, under the skilful manipulation of
Mr. John Himbury, Mr. Joe Skinner, and Mr. Robert
Simmonds was made to lock at well—nay, a little
better—than could be expected. Ferns, flowers. and
mottoef hung upon the walls, from which were
also suspended some choice engravings. Some time
before the hour appointed for the opening of the
doom, the lathes (5) who had consented te take stalls
were in their plazgle, and when the general public were
allowed admission they did their utmost to display
unto them the ntnnerout articles which lay before
them. Indeed some of the ven,b ws proved themselves
"well-up" in that line f business, and the readiness
with which they aecommod3ted themselves to the
requirements of the various buyers, the facility with
which themselves and assistants effected sales and
took the money, and the captivating miles and appro-
priate words by which they endeavoured to Ida-vie
each other in obtaining the patronage of the "next
comer," invoked admiration from many present To
see some of the more courageous hold up an article of
baby-linen, a tie, scarf, or anything else, and to hear
them expatiate on the good "workmanship" of the
samejwas very amusing. They continued their duties
right well until about six dock in the evening,
when the entrance fees alone :unountell to over Vti ;
and the results of the day's sale to a considerable
amount.

The Band of the 7th D.R.V., under the I lirectnrthip
of Mr. FS. Beaton, somemble.l outside the building
in the evening, and played a choice selection of
music. _

The Bazaar was continued on Friday up till half.
past eight in the evening, and even then, although a
larger number of visitor» attended than the previous
day, the whole of the goods were not &posed of by
sale, and a lottery took place.

The assertion that Herr von Dachroden. the Master of
the Grand Lodge of Freemasons of Prussia (Grosse
Landesloge), who is at Rome, had become a convert to
iieen Ceehidicion, is declared by his deputy in office,
Herr Martz, on the antho-ity of a telegram received
by him from Herr von Ifachreden, to be an infamous
falsehood.. .

.—ATIa-u-iiton paper understands that Mr. Arinstromr., of
that town, has resigned his office as chief of the javelin
men, a position which he hes tilled with credit to himself
and h 6 troop for forty•two years. ft, i 4 prohsble (adds
the paper) that the familiar cavalcade of javelin-men, for
so long a time associated with the visit of Her Majesty's
judges of maize, will pass away into the traditions of the
past, and Mit a Paso of police-constables will take their
place.
