FOR THE BLIND.

YESTERDAY’S EFFORT. Yesterday’s collection of funds for the civilian blind, arranged by the executive of the committee set up in Christchurch some weeks ago, was due largely to the organising abilities of the Aliases Wilson, who were in charge of the street collection, which, with the efforts of those ladies and of the ladies who sold badges, yielded about £426. The takings at the cake stall conducted by the Alayoress, who is president of the executive, will be supplemented by £4O, obtained from the raffles, for which the Boy Scouts did admirable work. RESULT OF RAFFLES. Holders of winning tickets in the raffles may obtain their prizes at Dr Thacker’s house, 25, Latimer Square. The winning numbers are: — Hum 864, corned beef 21, turkey 3. second prize 12, leg lamb 423 (A. JChapman), shoulder lamb 809, chickens 40, roast beef 912, leg pork 5. saddle mutton 143. # Results of Mrs Thacker’s cake stall competitions for the blind:—Jersey 1000, Mrs Creghead. 287, Worcester Street; cake 2&4, Airs Upham, 91, Worceoter Street; hag 51, ALu»s Jarman.
