NOS. Ia IL, 80 AMI -.
The "bazaar of months. which has
been in progress all the week at Elks'
Hall, in aid of the Teachers Retirement
Fund, will close tonight The big hall
has been thronged nightly, and the crowd
which attended last night was as large
as that Of any night. with the possible
exception of that which attended on
Wednesday night. The bazaar is big
financial success. the receipts measuring
fully up to the expectations Of those who
have charge of the affair. 1t is impos-
sible to appronimate the total amount of
the receipts. even after the bazaar shall
have been closed Tonight. as there is
considerable out yet to be turned in. 1t
is believed that the amount raised will
compare favorably with the receipts of
ihe Newark, New Brunswick and the
bazaars held in other cities of the State.
Miss Van Winkle, vice-president of the
State Teachers Association, said last
night there was absolutely no doubt that
the Efforts of the teachers to increase the
Retirement Fund by 100000 before
January next, had been already accom-
plished.

Der of the most valuable ones which will
