draI Bazaar Sees Record
Breaking Crowds.

If the opening at $50 O'Clock yesterday
afternoon of the Christmas bazaar in the
basement of st. Marks cathedral. under
the auspices Of the Ladies Guild, is any
indication Of success for today, then ina
ladies in charge of the affair will reckon
up the receipts of the bazaar tonight, haps
by in the knowledge that they have done
well.

ment of the cathedral yesterday afternoon
about o'clock but it was not until about
8 o'clock that those in charge began TO
experience any difficulty IN moving
around. Although about IS ladies We're
working their hardest to take care OF the
enormous crowds that appeared to par
take of the turkey supper, the Jam for a
few hours was almost too much for them

space in the basement was parurOned or
for the supper tables, screens and potted
palms and plants being placed around
them The tables were tastefuly deco
rated in English ivy and ferns. and made
most beautiful appearance even before
they were loaded to their utmost capacity
with turkey and cranberry sauce, Veget-
ables, and all kinds of good things to eat

charge of the dinner, given the sights
for the admission Of the first batch of
people, than a grand rush took place.

than 500 tickets had been sold before the
opening Besides the turkeys donated
by poultry firms and others to the affair.
