Benefit or the Church OF the Holy
Trinity.
Last night the doors Of the Seventy-frst regi-
ment Armory, on the corner Of Broadway and
Thirty-fth street, were thrown open to the pub
hc-that 10 to say, to all those who passed fifteen
cents into the box ofice-and the bazaar and prome
made concert for the benefit of the Church OF the
Holy Trinity was fairly inaugurated. 1t must have
pleased the Rev. Stephen II. Tying when making
his opening address to look around through the
crowded rooms and see the hundreds OF ladies and
gentlemen who mad braved the pers OF the fearful
snow storm to lend their assistance in establishing
the success OF the Holy Trinity Bazaar. Outside
the wind whisted and the snow fell
in thousands OF naky particles, while inside
the band played and quarters and dimes were
scattered around in proiusrOn. There Is always
certain sameness in bazaars-a Rebecca at the well,
a flower stall presided over by a bevy OF bright,
smiling girls, and nnumerable stalls where one
can buy everything one does not want and nothing
which can Oe Of real use; and in this special in
stance 1t is but fair to give the managers credit
for having done the thing better than 1t has ever
been done before. Passing in through the door,
way, attention is Immediately attracted to two
COUNTRY STORES
on the left, where everything can be purchased
from tenpenny nail to yard OF calico, or from a
pound OF soap to bottle OF Florida
water. These country stores represent both
variety and quantity and sell their goods at
the same prices for which they can be purchased in
the large retail stores in the city. The profit IN
these stores is merely the same as that of an ordi-
nary commission house. Opposite the country
stores is Rebecca at the well. lading out lemon

stand with the charitable purpose OF alaying any

'BUY A BUGLE?"
next greets the ear, and after being mucted of five
cents one is handed an elegantly Autographed little
sheet, which we learn from the title page is "the
Bazaar Bl0te, published during the bazaar at eight
p. NJ" The Bagle is quite spicy little sheet. with
esting reading matter on the inside The front
page OF the first number has picture OF the door
OF old St Georges church. and on the inside the
Rev. DR.. Tying has something TO say on the sub
ject, concluding his remarks as 1oows:-"lf this is
lair view OF the door OF old ST. Georges, to help

churches and people as Old ST. Georges must have
been and seen."
The Batgle is printed in large room on the
