Mrs. Durran, in declaring the sale open, referred to the artistic way the stalls had been set out, and paid 5a tribute to the manner in which 1 the ladies had laboured for such an excellent object. She hoperl the function would be an unquali- fied success and that the visitors would show their interest in the outside shows as well as in the 13stalla.
