All the articles which had been
donated for selling were auctioned of
before the Bazaar closed. not a thing
was left. Phil Tohin acted as the
auctioneer during the entire four
days and it vas due to his splendid
services in that capacity that things
were not allowed to drag when it
came to selling the goods. An ane-
%tioneer of some ability on an occa-
sion of this kind is very much of a ne
.cessity but Mr.. Tobin was the man
of the hour and his work was
very much appreciated.
Father Stanton had complete charge
of the Bazaar and the assistant priest
certainly left no stone unturned that
would in the least contribute 10 the
social and financial success of the
affair. 1t was a monumental under
taking n the gentleman is entitled
to very much credit for his splendid
efforts.
He was heartily backed up in the
venture by the ladies and gentlemen
of the church, all of whom were great
ly interested in the success of the
Bazaar
T. G. Burns had charge OF the
voting contests and he used all the
energy at his command to make the
votes run high into figures and he
got the enthusiasm worked up so
hat there was a good profit in about
every thing in that line.
One of the pleasing features of
the evening was the presentation of a
gold watch and chain to Miss Annie
Gaetz. who was in the diamond ring
contest the night before. Miss
Gaetz, friends purchased the watch
and chain to show theil appreciation
OF her standing in the ring contest
and of what she had done in the way
of adding success to the Bazaar. The
young lady was escorted to the stage
by Miss Mae Collins and the watch
and chain was presented by Father
Stanton in a very clever speech, to
which Miss Gaetz responded.
The Bazaar was the first that has
been held by the Catholic society
in a number of years. and the mem
bers feel highly gratified over the
successful outcome. The fund raised
at this time and through this avenue
will be added to the amount already
raised. and with it they intend to
erect a new church building, one that
will be in accordance with the high
standing of the Mitchell society in
the state. The membership of the
church has increased to that extent
that it is hardly possible . accom-
modate the people all at one ser
vice. The Republican hopes that
the day is not far distant when
operations will commence on
the new church building.
