The lodestone which attracted very
many was the entertainment for tho

the most ambitious OF the series hitherto
given, and met with well merited sup
port and appreciation. "The Goose with
the Golden Egg" was the title Of the at

title, too, for Il suggests at once, In a
very definite way. the climax OF ntory

dialogue and pretty music. Those who

BAZAAR WITH A DIFFERENCE.
The scene presented in the Armory
Drill Hall by the pretty decorations Is
really well worth seeing, and despite
the large business done at all OF the
stalls, the stock OF goods shows no mate
rial diminution, for contributions ara
still coming In.
There are two very remarkable cir
cumstances In connection with this
bazaar which mark an essential dine
renee between IL and similar events that
have taken place in this city. The first
is that the goods are marked for sale
at exceptionally low prices, and there Is
an entire absence of the aggressive
railing feature, which renders the life
OF the casual visitor to the regulation
bazaar a burden and a WEAKNESS.
