Yesterday's celebrations coramenced, as usual, with the businesslike selling of rosettes. The city was most thoroughly worked, and no one escaped.

Mr. George Lammert proved, once again, a most successful seller, and netted, 83,450. The articles he sold were all gifts from local residents to whom the Committee wish to exprees their thanks. As a side-show to the auction Mr. R. Sutherland and Mr. G. W.
