Show The Great Bazaar. The great and only bazar closed on Saturday night with the large hall crowded to its utmost capacity. During Dur-ing the afternoon selling at the various booths was lively and at 10 o'clock the "auction" began. Many beautiful articles arti-cles were sold very cheap, and a good sum was realized. N" The last hours of the bazar were full of excitement. Everyone talked at once and everyone was buying at once, and it was with a sigh of relief that the tired women heard Rev. Father Ryan's tired voice say, "This is all for tonight until next year," and in the hearts of all was the hope that next year's bazar would be even a greater success. TKe meeting to settle all bazar mat-tes mat-tes will be held 'next Sunday at 3 o'Xlock at the Knights of Columbus hall. All must attend. The grand piano, donated by W. Crawford Anderson of the New York & Western Piano company, was not sold at the auction because the final price bid was too low. It is thought that a voting contest will be arranged between the women of the Altar society so-ciety and the local lodge Knights of Columbus to settle the matter. In any case, the piano will be given to Rt. Rev. Bishop to remain in the cathedral hall. This pleases everyone, as the piano really should remain In there. It will be needed in the future for many pleasant social affairs. , 1 Rev. P. M. Cushnahan of Ogden spent Friday and Saturday In the city, and most of the time at the bazar. Dear FatherCushnahan! His generous heart cannot grow any larger,' but it was taxed to bursting point sure, last week. Rev. Father Guinan, the popular president of All Hallows college, was a good spender at the various booths. In fact, he grew so reckless on Saturday Satur-day that a prominent Irishman, who is also a well known business man, said: "I declare. Father .Guinan needs a guardian. He should be a ward in chancery." All the bunting borrowed for the celling will be returned next week, as Miss Mulvey and Miss Gleason are too busy this week with the Christmas music. , The "shooting gallery," under Rev. Father Ryan, did fine business. It, will be interesting to note that Major General Gen-eral Stephen Lavin broke the world's record on target shooting. Such an exhibition of superior marksmanship has never been seen in this country, and probably not in any other. Of course, when one considers the general's gen-eral's splendid war record, made in the early seventies, his clever work L Is not Surprising, but still it is remarkable for a man of his age to display such good marksmanship. St. Mary's cathedral cathe-dral parish is certainly proud of the major general. All tickets out for the "merchants' lunch" must be returned to Rev. Father Fa-ther Ryan by 12 o'clock on Saturday. Cathedral pictures and cathedral postal cards may be procured from Miss Nora Gleason, Bell 'phones 4705-Y and 4807. The special editions of The Inter-mountain Inter-mountain Catholic were creditable in every way. Over 200 Catholics subscribed sub-scribed during the four days. More bazar news next week. No more space this time. |
