bazaar held in Great EaS stern hall last
week, for the benefit of st. James
Catholic church. The attendance was
large every hour in which it was kept
open, and the interest was maintained
throughout. Contests for prizes for the
most popular men and women i'll the
congregation, as many as ten being
offered, lent additional interest to the
fair. Many pretty, useful and artis-
tic things were displayed and offered
for sale and contest. Ten prizes in
all were contested for, and some idea
of what was enacted may be CLEANED
when it is stated that in one contest
over 10000 votes were cast. The con-
test between Joseph Relmeur and NJ.
J. Filiatrault for complete hunting
outfit was won by the latter by vote
of 26.429 as against 1850. The con-
test between the Rev. Father John
Feeheley and John Cashin for solid
silver smoking set was Won by the rev.
erend father by Il vote of three to one.
Miss Mary Neville and Miss Bessie
Collins We're contestants for Il hand
some gold watch, the former winning.
Mrs. Mary Casey and Mrs. Joseph
Gagne were the center of interest in a
contest for Il Jersy COW, the former
bling declared successful. A prize Of
a $50 gold piece was the occasion of a
great deal of electioneering and solicit
ing between Miss Mary Allen and Mrs.
Fred Dellhern. This was the storm
center, Il single woman against a mar
ried one, and the fight was waged
warmly and in earnest. Miss Allen
finally won out, and the gallants, while
loyal to the Matron, were not able to
forget the eligible part of the propo-
sition. The married people rallied
warmly and loyalty, but the ''bloods"
were too much for them. The diamond
ring contest in which Miss Josephine
Lancour and Miss Mary Youdele were
nominated, was another prettily fought
battle. The first named Won by a
narrow margin. Two youngsters, Ed
Ryan and Ed Holland, tested their
metal, or rather their popularity, by
entering the arena for the second gold
watch prize. The former took away
the ticker despite the heroic efforts
of the others friends. Another gold
watch was offered and Miss May Con-
nelly and Miss Carrie Shovelin were
nominated by their respective friends.
Miss Connolly carried away the prize,
but not exultantly as the two are
warm friends, and have no rivalries
In truth, be it said, there was no
rivalry save in the sense of friendly
contest in the interest of the church
and for the good of all concerned.
That the bazaar was brilliant sue
cess is evidenced by the fact that al
ready $500 is in hand and Father
Feehely expects to realize, in the end,
$4,000 net.
