(By telegraph from our own correspondent.) The Dean Carew Memorial Bazaar was brought to a brilliant close on last Saturday night. Intense enthusiasm was evidenced as the results were announced, many of the old parishioners being - deeply moved at the generous response of all. classes* of the community in the endeavor to perpetuate the memory of our late much beloved parish priest. The results of the takings at the leading stalls and Queen Election are as follows:—New Zealand Stall, £1270 (Miss Maureen Behan); Children of Mary Stall, £870; Empire Stall, £B6O (Miss Kathleen Higgins) ; America, £370 (Miss Marjorie Egden). The total sum now in hand in connection with the memorial fund is £4600, and this is intended to be expended on the erection of a boys’ school, on modern lines. The site of the proposed memorial school is that now occupied by the present school-building, this selection having been previously arrived at on the occasion of a meeting of the parishioners at which his Lordship the Bishop of the diocese presided. The work will be at once proceeded with.
