The Bazaar was well attended and the floral decorations, lavished with an unphaning hand upon the tastefully arranged stalls, rendered the otherwise sombre Hall a very attractive picture. During the afternoon the Bazaar was thronged, principally, of course, by ladies, though later a good sprinkling of gentlemen ventured to put in an appearance. The band of the Hongkong Regiment, added to the enjoyment of the visitors by their well chosen inusical selections, which seemed to be specially appre ciated by the crowd of children the charges of the Sisters who were paraded round the Hall during the afternoon. At times, however, the place was, really uncomfortably crowded and demonstrated the need of holding these offered them and several Doctors in increasingly popular bazaars in a more
