 The first week in March the people of the Grand Avenue Baptist church are to give grand bazar in the Quinnipiac rink. Merchants, manufacturers and others have been asked to contribute articles to be sold at the bazar. Already at least five hun dred have been thus notified and nearly all have responded literally. It is expect ed that when the bazaar begins there will have been nearly one thousand donations. The gifts will include nearly everything in the lines of articles of use and decoration, and list of the varieties would make quite book. Persons who have not been invited who wish to contribute may send their wares (or list of the same to be called for) to Clarence G. Ames, 219 Grand avenue, where nearly $sOO worth of contri- buttons have already arrived. The bazar will hold at least three meetings and will be at tended by large number, as it will be one of the most attractive entertainments of the season. The big rink will be finely decorated and with the maze of booths, sales counters and small warehouses the show will be worth attending, leaving out of account world of articles that can be purchased at very reasonable prices. The profits are to be devoted to the church building fund. It is we'll known that this enterprising parish has outgrown its small church and the nucleus of a fund to build a larger sanctury has been started which | the bazar profits will largely swell. Frank Smith of Smith Brothers, Oyster Point, hauled up from 8 native oyster bed | on Thursday an oyster 111 inches long ! and 9 inches in greatest breadth. It was | caught about mile and 8 half southeast | of the new lighthouse.
