THE GRAND BAZAAR

IN AID OF THE
LIVERPOOL INDUSTRIAL RAGGED
SCHOOLS:

Yesterday, the visitors to the Banat were even More
numerous than on either of the preceding days; and
although such an immense quantity of articles had been
carried away, the stalls appeared pretty well fUrnished.
As. the day advanced, however; it was evident that the
business qualities of the fair vendors had considerably
diminished their stock. For instance, in the early even-
ing, the stall held jointly by. Mrs. S. It. Graves and
Mrs. Rankin assumed rather a bare appearance. The
tasteful, ornamental, and useful articles which on the
day before had attracted universal attention and adnii-
ration were non aunt. Similar remarks may be applied
with equal force to the stall presided over by the
Mayoress and Mrs. G. H. Horsfall, and indeed
to every other ; yet, for all that, the most strenuous
efforts were made to clear the, hall of the goods, or in
the drapers' phrase to sell off, not, however, so far as
we could learn, at enormous discount, for up to ten
o'clock last night the prices of Monday were asked
and obtained. Nothing could be more gratifying than
the rivalry observable amongst the whole of the stall-
keepers, "no connection with any other establishment,"
fancifully printed on fanciful paper, beink suspended
over some of the stalls. Scores of the fairest of the
fair daughters of the "good old town" paraded, as
usual, along .the hall, and by their persuasive power
always succeeded in vending their articles to those who
could not resist the force of beauty and musical argu-
ments—who cans The number of gentlemen employed
was considerably increased; and they helped materially
to keep up the joyous spirits of the visitors by offering
wax dolls or miniature cradles to youthful visitors, just
"to teach the young idea_how to shoot."

A pleasing feature in the proceedings of the day Was
the original manner in which Toast-master Toole acted
the part of mock auctioneer at the Lady Mayoress's stall.
He set the place "in a roar" by his humorous remarks
upon the various articles offered to the fair portion of the
public,
blic by whom he was surrounded; and he was amply
repaid, we think, by the very prompt manner in which
his appeals on behalf of the Industrial School were
answered. The neighbourhood of the Post-office was,
of course, the centre of attraction for most of the visitors,
some of whom were not a little surprised to find letters
properly addressed awaiting their inspection; as they were
unstamped, however, the postmistresses, Mrs. Henry
Thomas and Mrs. Marshall, took good care that the
postage was paid before they allowed them to go out of
their hands. A great many visitors retired to the
galleries, and whiled away the sluggish hours in wit-
nessing the motions of the crowd beneath. The scene
from the galleries was certainly most lovely, but the
sounds of many voices reminded the hearer of the story
of the confusion of tongues.
The bands were in attendance, and Mr. Best delighted

the visitors by his exquisite performances on the Organ
in the afternoon.
The bazaar will continue open to-day at the reduced
charge of sixpence. A quantity of fancy articles will be
sold by auction. The "monster raffle" at the school
stall will take place at seven o'clock.

At the end of the second paragraph of Mr. Brown's,
letter to the rev. the rector, which we published yester-
day, the words "tranquil progress" are printed instead

LARGE COLLECTION.—At Trinity Church, St. Anne-
street, on Sunday last, after sermons by the Rev. J. C.
M. Bellew, a sum of £5O was collected in aid of the
alteration and improvement of the church.
SUDDEN DEATlL—Yesterday morning a man named
William Wadeson, forty-two years of age, who was
employed in a smithy at Mr. Gregson's saw-mill, Lower
Harrington, fell dead in the street, being up to the
moment in good health.
GREAT SALE OF HORSES AT LLOYD'S, NEWINGTON.
—The sale, to-morrow, at Mr. Lloyd's well-known
repository, Newington, possesses more than the usual
attraction. The stock entered for public competition is
varied and superior in the different classes, and from
.the well-known character of the establishment, and the
confidence placed in Mr. Asberry, the eminent auc-
tioneer, the public who may require horses of any class
can depend on both as a guarantee without chance of
disappointment.
TESTIMONIAL TO MR. HUGIIES.—Last night Mr. T,
B. Hughes, who has for many years been largely con-
nected with the business management of building
societies, was entertained at dinner in the Adelphi Hotel,
by upwards of seventy gentlemen, and presonted with a
silver tea and coffee service, accompanied by a silver
salver and other plate. Mr. Stuart, watchmaker, occu-
pied the chair ; among those present we noticed Messrs.
J. Stuart, H. Stuart, D. Evans, Shimmin, Siddeley, J.
Hughes, W. Wensley, W. Thomson, Joseph Harrison,
W. Huntington, T. Huntington, R. Holden, 0. Wil-
liams, J. B. Carter, Towson, and G. W. Hunter. The
evening's preceedings were most harmonious. After
the usual loyal and patriotic toasts,. Mr. Stuart proposed
the toast of the evening, and presented the testimonial,
altogether in value about £l2O, which was suitably and
feelingly acknowledged by Mr. Hughes. Many toasts
followed, among which was " the Press," acknowledged
by the representative of this paper. We regret that the
pressure of advertisements and other matter upon our
space positively prevents us from giving anything like
the report of the proceedings which we bad intended to
furnish. We have only space to say that we wish all
honour to Mr. Hughes and the building societies with
which he has been so long honourably connected.
ADVENTURE WITH A LION.-1 he Inde'pendant of
Constantina (Algeria) publishes the following account
of a perilous adventure with a lion :—" The well-known
hunter, Chassaing, residing at Constantina, left that
town lately with a friend, Captain de St. Marc, for a few
days' sport in the mountains. When near the top of the
Bou-Arif, he encountered a huge lion, and lodged two
balls in its shoulder, but the wounded animal escaped
into the wood, roaring with pain and fury. On the fol-
lowing day, M. Chassaing and his friend traced the
lion to an extensive thicket, and while the former
was searching among the bushes the lion suddenly
sprang on him, threw him down, seized his arm—the
bone of which was instantly broken—between his
powerful jaws, and was dragging the unfortunate hunter
into the woods, when at that critical moment Captain
de St. Marc came up, and, after discharging his rifle at
the lion, finished him with one of Chassaing's pistols.
While in the lion's fearful grip, Chassaing never lost his
presence of mind, but, struggling with
his antagonist
to prevent him from springing on the captain, whose
ammunition was exhausted, be cried out to the latter to
approach and take the pistols from his belt, which were
still charged. After dispatching the lion, the captain
dressed his friend's wound as well as he could, and they
then returned to Constantina to obtain aid."
