The main feature amongst the contribu tions to the bazaar was a^model hospital made of " Bchaum garniture." Ib was contributed by Mr G. Heller, confectioner. The design is neat, and the ornamentation being chaste and artistically executed, it attracted uni versal admiration, which the discerning crowd backed to the tune of £14, the amount realised by the model. The market advertised with such a loud floarish of trumpets, turned out a failure af tei all ; but as these repeated miscarriages are solely attributable to the farmers them selves, it must be presumed that such an institution is, in our present condition, su perfluous, and must remain so, so long as there is a demand for all the produce as it is raised. The 1.0. G.T. lodge atjMacetown kept the anniversary of their institution with the usual cheerfulness and repletion character istic of the place. The tea tables were fur nished with all the bss 1 ; things procurable, in a lavish manner, and the entertainment, consisting of songs and recitations, kept the audience well amused for several hours. The schoolroom, which w«s the scene of the fes tivities, was tastefully and artistically deco rated by Mr C. Seymour, who has upon several former occasions displayed a geuius of no common order, fciome of the wreatl s and pendants, composed entirely of artificial flowers, were admirable both as regards the taste displayed iv their arrangement, its well as for the delicacy of execution. "We have had a visit from the Hon. Mr Fox, who addressed a fairly attended assem blage of residents both at Queens town and Arrowtown, on the benefits of total absti -, nence, and explained the principles of the newly-formed Temperance Alliance. A re- Solution expressing sympathy with the was carried. ■? A committee has been formed at Queens town to tike steps to have this district re presented at the Sydney Exhibition. As the committee havo £50 placed at their disposal to aid them in this desirable consummation, it is likely that Lake Wakatip scenery -and produce will play s. prominent part at the Exhibition. The Queenstown Acclimatisation Society is now firmly established, and much b nefit and profit may safely be looked for from their endeavours.
