BAZAAR.- On Thursday the 28th instant a bazaar was held in the Schoolroom, in aid of the voluntary school. The goods for disposal included the usual assortment of nicknackery, and also a large number of useful and ornamental articles, which were temptingly displayed in the schoolroom. Two very useful additions were made to the number in the shape of a capital pig given by Mr. Whiting, and a fine young lamb contributed by Mr. Pike. The stalls were attended chiefly by ladies, who proved themselves excellent saleswomen. They were – Miss H. Mansel, Miss Vardey, Miss and Miss Jessie Pike, Mrs. and Miss K. Whiting, Mrs. Amos, Miss Phillips, and Mrs., Miss S, and Miss E. Sargeaunt. The goods sold very freely and we hope a large sum may be realised for this especial object. Lady Carrington was one of the principal contributors
