HOSPITAL SATURDAY.
The annual street collection will bo taken up in Dunedin and suburbs on Saturday. The association's aim is to collect £1000, and this should be achieved if the citizens respond in their usual generous manner. The ladies intend this year making a special display of flowers, and hopo to augment the collection by tho sale of buttonholes and cut flowers. Besides considerably adding to tho attraction,' it should cause a more liberal bestowal of 6ixpenses. The ladies in tho St. Clair district are invited to attend a meeting in the vestry at tho Presbyterian Church at 7.30 this evening. The Hospital's share, which will be half the collection, will be devoted towards the erection of the secondary hospital at Pine Hill for the special treatment of consumptive cases The other portion of tho collection will bo divided between the St. John Ambulance Association. Karitane Harris Hospital, Victoria Jubilee Convalescent Fund, Patents and Prisoners' Aid Society, and the Dental Hospital. All these institutions aro carrying on splendid work, and have the sympathy of every citizen, so it is hoped that tho public will rise to the occasion on Saturday and ma-ke tho collection of 1914 I an eclipse of all previous efforts.
