CAMBRIDGE.

Dear Bee, September 21. The Roman hCatholics of Cambridge are at present holding their ANNUAL BAZAAR in connection with their ehurch. It was formally opened in the Alexandra Hall by the Mayor (Mr. W. F. Buckland) on Tuesday evening. They have been doing business every afternoon and evening since, and close to-night at 10 o’clock. The hall had been very artistically decorated for the occasion, and the goods on the stalls tastefully arranged. There were two plain and fancy work stalls, Mrs. McVeagh and her daughters being in charge of one, and Mesdames Dougherty r.nd Tristram of the other. The refreshment stall was presided over by Mesdames Lundon, Cameron, and Hayr. Mrs. McNamara was in charge of the doll stall, and the Misses Annie and Mary Plescher attended to the “brun tub” and fish pond. THE MIXED FOURS.OMES were concluded at the Cambridge golf links on Wednesday, Miss Lundon and Mr. E. W. Caddy proving the winners. Their gross score was 66, handicap 17— net 49. The Hamilton Gold Club are to play a return match with Cambridge either on Dominion Day or Saturday, 28th inst. THE LADIES’ GUILD in connection with St. Andrew’s Church held a gift afternoon on Thursday, when all the ladies of the congregation were asked to be present, and to bring some little gift towards the sale of work to be held early in November. It was arranged to decorate the room with daffodils and other spring flowers. Table decorations were arranged by several ladies, Mrs. A. J. Edmunds doing one in primroses and forget-me-nots, arranged in low bowls. Mrs. Richardson’s was done with daffodils and purple anemones. Mrs. W. Coates chose primroses and violets for her table. Mrs. A. Gibbons did hers with daffodils and purple anemones and maidenhair ferns. Miss K. Wills did hers entirely with daffodils and their foliage. They all showed great taste in the arrangement. Miss Wells did the mantel-piece-very artistically, others arranged epergnes, large bowls, etc., and Miss Ward did an arch very tastefully. Mrs. A. J. Edmunds and Mrs. Brooks were in charge of two guessing competitions—in one questions had to be answered by only using the letters in the word violets, and in the other questions had to be answered by the names of flowers. Mrs. Bunyard was the winner, and received a pretty photo frame. A table was devoted to the gifts, and quite a nice contribution was sent in. A delicious afternoon tea was served during the afternoon,

and Mrs. Pilcher and Mrs. Lowe played several selections on the piano. Alto* gether a very pleasant time was spent. It was continued in the evening, when the last of the parish evenings was held, but on account of heavy rain setting in it was not the sucecss it would otherwise have been. The guessing competitions went on again amongst those who had not competed in the afternoon, and Mrs. Major was the successful one. Plantation songs were sung by some members of the choir, and by Miss McElwain and Mr. Isherwood, and instrumental items by .Mesdames Isherwood and Pilcher. A nice supper was served at the close of

the evening.
