CHURCH OF ENGLAND BAZAAR.

On Thursday and FiiJny last a bazaar was held under the auspices of the above church, nnd was a complete financial success. The bazaar wns opemd by His Worship tho Mayor (Mr G. W. To'yler). There was a largo attendance on both dajs. A prominent fcatuie of the imzaßr was a Maypole dance by a number of young ladies, who performed it in a manner which reflected gteat credit on their teacher (Mrs Cane). In the evening, songs were rendered by Rev. J. A. Jacob, Mr T. B. Crump, and Mfsdames Crump, Wrigley, and Jacob (Hawera). The stalls were laden with a great variety of useful and fancy articles, ar.d the attendants did a brisk trade both days. Great praise is due to the members of the guild, and to the energetic secretary (Mr E. Pratt), who was ably assisted by Mr Madden. All connected with- the affair worked hard to make it the success it was.
