For the ladies of st. Agnes parish are
holding fancy bazaar at the Pavilion for
the purpose of raising funds to detray the
debt on their handsome new church near
Golden Gate Park.
The fair opened Monday evening and
will run for two weeks. Especial stress is
laid upon the fact that it costs no one a
cent for admittance-placards announce
that the more coming the merrier.
On the occasion of the opening FIVE
hundred people were Assem- bled with
Fathers Yorke. MulIigan, OShea, Kirby.
d. A. Ryan and J. J. O'Toole on the plat
form. After the FIRST number on the pro-
gramme piano solo by Mrs. Charles
Gagus. which received the full! measure of
applause, Father Kirby in q few graceful
remarks presented Rev. Father Yorke,
who spoke in a humorous strain substan-
TALLY as follows:
Ladies and Gentlemen: It is like carving
Goals to Newcastle to announce the opening Of
this fair. You seem to have taken that into
your own hands. But it becomes necessary,
in order 10 make the affair a success, thai
pockets must be opened as well, and, as my
friend, Father Muligan, remarks pockets
me to call your attention to the fact that that
gentleman came here this evening with his
we'll filed.
There are somo people who consider
church fair q very irreligious undertaking,
and that anything in the nature of buying aud
selling is entirely out of place In connection
story. Two sailors were shipwrecked and one
of them thought it good time to pray.
Bill says he to his companion, "can you
try it yourself. jack :" 81 cant" says s 5asp sGo
''but we can take up a collection" We agree
with JACK that the most important thing
after prayer in religious service is the COL
lection. This occasion verifies that asser tion.
Let every body try to do something.

Montgomery. For year it was a branch

Accordingly it now labore under the
