HBH 1890 April 12 Dr Barnardo's Home Our Hastings correspondent writes under yesterday's date: - The bazaar at the Town Hall in aid of Dr BARNARDO's Home for destitute children was opened this afternoon by Canon St HILL, who in a short address urged the claims of the cause, and pointed out the many attractions of the bazaar. Certainly the result of the hard work and good taste of the promoters is most attractive. At the entrance is a grotto and a fishpond kept by Misses HAMILTON and Mc GUNN. On the right side and at the end of the hall are fancy stalls well furnished with plain and fancy needlework, and a thousand and one nameless trifles and pettinesses, which ornament a drawing room and get in a visitor's way. One noticeable feature is a stall at which Miss BOGLE's pupils, assisted by Miss TANNER, Mrs BOGLE, and Miss A St. HILL, only sell children's work. Mrs BLYTHE and Miss BOGLE keep the end stall. Miss A PERCY and Miss LUCKIE manage the Christmas tree. On the left side of the hall are a fruit and flower stall presided over by Mrs ROACH and Miss M GALLIEN, and a refreshment stall which is loaded with all sorts of niceties, and at which Miss PERCY and Miss Ada Mc LEOD officiate as attendant Hebes. Art is represented by a shield "Mount Cook," and a plaque "Wet Jacket Arm" (both very effectively painted by Miss BOGLE), and two attractive water color paintings by Mr LYNDON-one "The Otira Gorge," noticeable for the delicate coloring of the sky, and the other "Stirling Falls," in which the effects of the falling water and the reflection are well given. The Dram is represented by Mr PUNCH-who has taken up his quarters in a side room, and is well patronised. Tomorrow (Saturday) evening there will be an exhibition of magic lantern views. With all these attractions there ought to be such an attendance as to reward those who have worked so hard for a good cause, and to materially aid the cause itself.
