DRESDEN CHURCH BAZAAR.

The TWO days bazaar given WedEes-
day and Thursday of last week by the
ladies of the Catholic church at Dresden
was a most thoroughly enjoyed social
success aud resulted IN the raising of
over $1,000. Leaving after all expenses
had been met $3.50 which will be
sufficient to meet all OF the present out
standing inGebtednesses of the church.
The evening of the opening day was de
voted to concert and entertainment,
given by the combined musical talent of
Dresden, Langdon and Wales. the pro-
gram proper being supplemented by
short dramatic sketch played by the
Dresden Dramatic Go. Special mention
is deserved commenting the vocal solos
rendered by Judge Dorval and Miss
Mollie Co;nstock, of this city, and the
instrumental numbers by Mrs. Belleheur,
of Wales. There was large audience
present everyone speaking highly COM
Elementary to the excellence of the en-
tertainment. The wind-up of the voting
contests and drawings which took place
at the close of the bazaar proved more
than sufficient to interest the people.
even to the extent of nearly doubling
the throng in attendance. The gold watch
donated to the most popular young lady
was contested for by Miss Mary Doyle
of Dresden, and Miss Gumpher, of Mt.
Carmel. The votes cast in this contest
brought s27O and won by Miss Doyle.
The doll contest. taken part in by two
little girls, Miss Josephine Marty and
| Miss Ermina Steve added s65 more to
the results of the bazaar and was won
| by the latter, though of course both the
girls were presented with doll. In the
contest for the pony, donated by A. II.
George, of the Dresden bank, there was
a close finish, Leonas Kramer of Dres-
den eventually winning out from Louis
Schwartz, who received strong support
from his home town, Wales. In the
drawings it might be mentioned that H.
j. Mathiesen was successful in getting
the COW donated by Louis Rose. Wheat
buyer Byfeld took home the sewing
machine, donated by w. H. Speckmann
and Mrs. Herricks the dinner set, pre-
sented to the bazaar by Postmaster
Mathiesen. The dressed lamb, donated
by Dorval & McCay, the Langdon
butchers, was drawn by w. II. Speck-
mann. In connection with the bazaar II
may be mentioned there were number
of articles of plain and fancy needlework
given that went largely toward help
ing to increase the net results. The
affair was mainly engineered by Mes
danes Fl. j. Matiiesen, as president
Mrs. Theo. Kraemer, secretary; and Mrs
1. Dawson, treasurer and they each fee
grateful for the way in which the people
of Dresden co-operated with them il
making the affair such a big success.
