THE GREAT SOUTHERN BAZAAR IN LIVERPOOL FOR
THE Relief OF SOUTHERN PRISONERS
On The 18th ultimo, one of the most magnificent
| bazaars ever held in the north of England was
opened at the St. Georges Hall, in Liverpool, in
aid OF the Southern Prisoners Relief Fund -
For nearly six months the preparations have been
in progress, and during that time contributions the
most valuable have flowed in from all parts OF the
world. So numerous, indeed, are the articles thus
generously given, that the difficulty has not been to
dress the stalls, in the technical sense of the
word, but to exhibit all that they contain; for ba-
2aar on SO sumptuous and vast scale as this one,
is dwarfei even in the magnificent hall devoted TO
1t. The London Herald thus describes the scene:
The stalls, Of which there are twelve, named after
the Southern States, are ranged down the sides OF
the hall, five on each side, and the remaining two
IoTm large central tent from the apex Of which
rises tIIplet OF tlcolored flags. Tri-colorad dra-
perry also roofs the stalls, and it Icing of bunting
instead Of the ordinary glazed calico, gives pecu-
uar SOFT and rich appearance and heightens the ct-
1eltlveICsS OF the harmonious color contrasts. 1ne
stalls are alternately square and octagona in shape
ri
point, and capped with the Confederate flag ard
the square ones, Soping roofs reaching about half
way up 10 the gallery, The counters all covered
with crimson cloth. and drapery valance, which
runs round the top of each STALL forms very grace
1u c0rmce The valance itself Is elaborately deco
rated With a blue margin and a pretty designed i
red, white and blue centre and above the top mar
gin Is neat border, terminating in tri-color
cord, which runs from stall to stall. The panelngs
at the bottom of the stalls white drapery re-
vi2rd by gold beading, anu Iured the bottom AT
the south emit of the hall, and in the middle of the
hoor Is the a,Stlon stand an octagonally ly-shaped
platform, which Is to be at first appropriated for the
larger and heavier articles 1t, too is wrapped in
ctlnson and bears ingeniously designed combina-
tons OF coiors. The panels tued and have gold
moudlngs, and the centre is studded with blue and
white roSettes. The central tent to which We have
already referred as the largest is also the most cou
plcte one-haf of it forms the Kentucky STALL pre-
sided over by the Lady De Hoghton and Mrs Oil
yer, and the other half of the Tennessee stall Mt
which the Lady NJ: Berestord Hope and Mrs F.
Hull presided.
Various hags-Confederate and British--are dis
played throughout the hall but these have been Sc
iected with righteousness and taste which has |
rather tended to Subdue effects and thus prevent the
glare and gaudiness which probably would other
wise have been apparent. Thus at the apex of each
OF the bell-rooted sectional octagon tents are small
tlplets-a tr-coor Of the Confeicracy being III the
centre, aud the English and French flags Oh either
side. AT the stall named Georgia." which is the |
fourth on the lett-hand side, the flag of the ship
Georgia is exhibited and it may be interesting to
mention that this stall is presided over by Mrs
Bullock, the wife of Captain Bullock, of the famous
man-of-war The fronts of all the stalls are covered
with small silk banners bearing the stars of the
Contederacy and the motto, " Dec Vindice" |
On entering the hall from the east lobby the first
stall on the left hand is "Virginia' held by the
Countess de Dampierre, Mrs. Patterson and Mrs NJ |
q. Klingender The great attractions ON this stall
are number Of artistically yiesgned albums Of the
Confederate generals, bronze Of Mephistopheles |
and various small articles OF interest
" North Carolina is the next stall in order and |
1t IS presided over by Mrs. Spence and Mrs F. Wor-
thngton. 1t is richly laden with china vases, and
contains a nagnifcently-git clock "South Caro- |
and Mrs Prleleau 1t contains chiefly small, but |
flchly-wrought, articles OF neede-woIk searf- pie
lures and baskets OF elegant workmanship |
The Georgia stall is very finely decorated ex-
ternally, but the interior is devoted chiefly to baby
nen the only other article worth notice here being
a cuflousiy-shared large clock. The ladies presi-
ding are Mrs. Bullock and Mrs. Trapman
" Florida is presided over by Mrs. Cassin and
MRS Patrick 1t contains many valuable aud ele- |
giant pieces OF Workmanship III Worsted, some eXQu
sltely-wrought screen needie-work, two bassinrts |
gllt ottoman, and large number Of small ferns and
other articles.
The central stalls" kentucky and "Tennes- |
see"-will probably be found the most attractive |
not only from their position but also from the great
variety of their contents. "Kentucky'' is kept bv
the lady De Hoghton and Mrs. q. w Oiver-
