BAZAAR A GRAND SUCCESS

| July lst and 2nd were banner days for the Catholics of Wrangell. The bazaar opened with the serving of dinner. The tables were nicely decorated with vari ous kinds of flowers and evergreens, and the ea.ab!es thereon represented tbe choicest cooking of most every lady in town. Attending the tables were white clad maidens, whose smiling counten- ancss and merry laughter added much to the appetites of those who had the good fortune to partake of such sump- tuous repast.
 Toe fancy booth, presided over by the Mesdames Bronson and Thompson, was the most attractive feature of the fair. . Fancy work, consisting of ladies' wear, cushions, laundry bags, eurios, etc., hung from all parts of the booth, pre- senting a most inviting appearance. During the two evenings nearly the en- tire stock of fancy woIk was sold, and much credit is due the two ladies for the efficient way in which they fulfilled their offices
 On the east side of the hail Mrs. H. D. Campbell, assisted by the Misses Bronson and Aurora Lemieux carried on the sale of ice cream, strawberries, lem onade and cake, which added greatly to the success oi the bazaar.
 Among the many other attractions the nam moth cake, made and donated by Mrs, L. J. Cole and MT. Ali. Roche, excited 10 little comment for it's munif- cent dimensions and artistic design
 The musical and literary entertain nent given by our local taleut was much appreciated, and proved very appro- priate manner in which to close the bazaar.

 CELEBRATES

Although but @ few days were spent in making preparations for celebration of the Fourth of July at Wrangell. our people were given full half day of en- tertainmept in the line of athletic sports, which served well to break the moDotony of the regular routine.
 On the night of July 8, the local lodge of Red Men gave ball at their hall, which was largely attended and greatly enjoyed by all present. The music vas furnished Ly Prof. Geo. H. Edson, assis- ted on the piano and guitar. respective ly by Messrs. Zacharias and Mckay Mesdsmes A. V. R. Snyder and Oscar Carlson served supper, which. was par taken of by most everybody.
 The morning of the Fourth dawned with threatening clouds, and there was slight sprinkling of rain, but long be. fore the sports were to commence the rain ceased to fsll, leaving the tempera- ture just right for a highly enjoyable afternoon of sports.
 The program was made up largely Of races for the children, and furnished a great deal of amusement to on-lookers. The prizes were quite liberal, and were quite generally distributed, the program being so arranged that all the little folks were given a whack at them.
 The days sports were ended with three tugs of war, and everybody went to their homes entirely satisfied.
