dist Episcopal Church held its annual Ba
zaar in the Town Hail. Wednesday after
noon and evening, Dec e1nber 15 The
large attendance proved beyond doubt
that the proper and most convenient place
to hold an affair of this kind is in the
Tow. Hail.
The booths presented very attractive
app sarance in their decorations Of varied
color, set off by a background of fir trees
The display of fancy and useful articles
was unusually fine and the supply of food
and candy seemed almost inexhaustible, in
spite OF the inroads made by eager purchas-
ers. The ladies in charge of the Tea
Room and food booth we're forced to move
with considerable celebrity, owing to the
frequent demand for ice cream and other
good things which they had in abundance.
Mistress .Mary's Flower Garden added its
bit to the attractiveness of the place, and
the crowd made haste to purchase posies,
50 that the floral packages disappeared like
dew before Jne morning sun.
In the evening a varied and attractive
rcgram was presented under the capable
direction Of Tia Niles Jackson, much credit
being due to the leader and participants.
While the audience was assembling most
enjoyable music was furnished by Mr.. and
Mrs A. w. Lawson, violin and piano.
Hermon Huntey. was splendid in hisnegro
impersonatons. The ladies quartette,
consisting of Mesdames Lawson, Raymore,
Skinner and tombstone. gave two very
pleasing numbers The reading, The
Soul of the Violin by Miss Faith Ed
munds gave greatspleasure to her hearers.
Though the selection is most difficult, Miss
E1nund5 delivered it with grace and ease
and had to respond to an encore Miss
Marion Benson, who is a young musician
of unu sual ability, rendered two piano solos
with correctness and skill The farce
"Courtship Under Difficulties with Tia
N. Jackson, I. B. Ellis and J A. Waite
in the cast, was very laugheble and if ap-
plause stands for anything was greatly en-
ioycd 1t seemed pleasant TO see these
capital artists in character again after a
long absence from the amateur stage.
The second farce TheTrain to the Town
of Matlro" WAS ably presented by Mr..
Ellis, Mrs. INA Atkinson and Miss Faith
Ednunds, the annoyed ticket agent, the
takative oldlady and the " terrible child "
making most amusing contrast.
Mrs. Chas. H. Raymore, though new
to the public as vocal soloist, won her
audience on this occasion. She possesses
avery clear sweet voice and her numbers
were pleasant to hear. The duets by Mrs
Jackson and Clifford Barrows, with the
Misses Wallace Raymore. Waite, Magoon,
Howard and Isham as chorus, were pretty
numbers and popular with the audience.
Miss Mary Wagner without whom no
local program is complete, charmed her
hearers with a flute solo, Les Echos," by
Rucqua and responded to an insistent en-
core with McDowell's ever lovely Wild
Rose" Mrs. Mary Camp and Mrs. A.
w. Waite furnished accompaniment for
the entire program, and were of course
invaluable.
The ladies feel very grateful for the lib
eral patronage received and wish to thank
all who in any way contributed to help
make the Bazaar success. The total re-
ceipts were 1857. l6, including evening re-
ceipts for admissions of SIS. so.
