NEW PLYMOUTH.

Dear Bee, April 17. On Easter Monday night St. Joseph’s Catholic School held a BAZAAR in the Theatre Royal, which was opened by the Mayor (Mr. Doekrill). The Garrison Band played several selections outside the building during the evening. Many of the stall-holders were in fancy dress, and a good deal of raffling was done, Dean McKenna having charge of the lottery box. Mesdames Dockrill, E. M. Smith, Clarke, W. Bennett, Whittel, J. Bennett, and Misses Radford, O’Connor and Mcllhone presided over the plain and fancy stall, while Misses Bleasal, R. Bennett and Stephenson looked after the refreshment stall; Madame Tutsehka, Misses Hopkins and Gallagher the gentlemen’s stall; Mrs. Wildermoth and Mr. J. Parker had charge of the bran tub. Mr. Rountree’s orchestra contributed some excellent music, which added to the pleasures of the evening. On Tuesday evening Mrs. Ab. Goldwater gave a delightful IMPROMPTU DANCE in the Freemasons’ Hall. It was thoroughly enjoyed by those who went.
