! as they thought best 10 give efficiency 10 the

ROOM The contributions 10 this department
were of the most liberal character, from all
parts of our State, and especially from the
citizens of Richmond, who never "weared
in well doing" The Bazaar was opened on
the 23d April. and closed on the 9th May-a
period of nearly three weeks, during which
large supplies continued TO be sent in. The
. children's table received many contributions,
and made n handsome return. The German
table was we'll supplied by our German
friends, and the thanks of the ladies are due
! Captain Lybrock for his efficient aid.
! A number of contributions were received
from France, England, Scotland, and many
parts of the North, sent by friends interested
in our work. Ii is impossible to estimate the
value of the articles sent, or the amount re-
allied at each table, and in SO short 4 report
to give the names of all who so generously
aided us. In addition 10 the contributions
named q large number of tickets were sold
! throughout the South and elsewhere. The
treasurer's report shows the total amount on
hand to be SIS, 900.
Our agents in the South deserve great credit
for their successful efforts. When we consider
the impoverished condition of our people, and
the mahy demands made upon them, their
contributions have indeed been liberal. Their
dead not only require care and attention in
Hollywood, bat in all parts OF our State, and
in many places south and west.
To all the generous contributors to the
| Bazaar, we should return grateful thanks
and hope we do not offend when we make
special mention of the kindness and libe-

thanks to Miss Riddle for her cons tant and
undivided attention at the entrance {; and tC
the young ladies who gave us their presence
and assistance, and were so faithful in dis.
charge of their duties. To the gentlemen who
filled places in our various committees, and
many others who were indefatlgable IN their
efforts to serve us. To the secretary, treasu'
rer, Executive Committee, and ladies in
charge of tables, too much praise can.
not be accorded. From the organization
of our association TO the close of the
Bazaar their interest never tagged. ltis due
TO them to state that the Bazaar was managed
without funds, save Slj4 granted by the memo
rial association. This sum was distribu ted
to the different tables, giving to each not ovei
SO To their unfailing energy, patien'

and hope to increase the amount.
