RED CROSS. A special meeting of the _ Eltham branch of the Red Cross Society , was held last night for the purpose of deciding whether the result of the appeal for left-off clothing and other -saleable articles was sufficient to warrant the committee holding a jumble sale day... . The chairman (Mr I. J. Bridger) said that so far the response had not been very extensive—not sufficient, in Ids opinion, to warrant a sale being .held, but more may come in during the next few days. It was decided not to conduct a sale day at present, but to distribute the articles that had been sent in. to the needy. _ A committee consisting of Mesdames Syme, Reakes and Ricketts was appointed to deal with the matter. It was reported that so far it had not been found possible to hold a fancy dress football match in aid of the fund.
