BAPTIST TABERANACLE.

Bazaar in Aid of the Building Fund.

SoM-time ago the Baptists of Auckland, recognising the necessity for increased flittin" accommodation in the Wcllesley street church, decided upon the erection of a new Tabernacle. Tho project was oce that commended itself to oarnest workers in the cause, and tho ladiea enthusiastically supported the idea. A bazaar was kujigcted as an excellent mo»ns ot agisting the funds, sewing meetings were held at the residences of the various promoters of the scheme, and in a comparatively short spaco of time, theso energetic assiatanU had prepared quite a largo stock of articles, both useful and ornamental, which might be expected to command a ready sale. Donations poured in from all directions, and Major Wilhers having granted tho uso of the druTsb-d for the baz-iar, it wtsdecided that the opening should take placo to-day. The building was whitewashed and tho floor repaired, and for some days past both lady and gentleman mombors of tho congrega ticn have worked industriously in annng ing the s.tulls, and displaying their contents to the b_t advantage. A glanco round the building this morning showed that there win still a great deal to be done, and everything being in confusion, it w«s impossible t) make a very close inspection of the goods exhibited for sale. There are nino stalls in all, and live of these are arranged round the main room. Two are octagon shaped, prettily covered in muslin, and aro placod in the centre of the hall, while the others arc the flower atnll near tho entrance, and tho refreshment stall in an adjoining room. The first stall on entering is the "Sunday school," which is in charge of Mesdamos Battlcy, Davis, Pearsou, Kouatrce, and Misses Cooper, M. A. Jones, Longmore, Mid M. Beaißon. Amongst the contents aro a quantity of goods seloctad by Mr P. Bittley, and presented by some of the old Welle»ley-»treet Suaday-school teachers and scholars now resident in London. Passing on to tho " Pastor and young men's stall," we find that it contains a consider able quantity of useful and pretty articles forwarded from England by Mr C. if. Spurgeon and members of tho "Metro politan Tabernacle." It is in charge of Mr Thomas Spurgaon and Messrs Knight and Dewar. The " Grafton Stall." whtcb is the next in tho older of arrangement, is under the management of Mcsdsmes Phil son, Chambots, E. Bell, and 13. Yatlo. On the opposite side cf tho hall "John Plough man's stall; which is stocked with the literary productions of Mr C. H. Spur geon, Miss Kidlcy Havercal, aud other writers, attracts attention, and well repays inspection. It also boasts of an excellent pencil -ketch of tho Wellesloy stree't Baptist Church by Mr Thomas Spurgeon, and is surmounted by a painting of "John Ploughman," executed by Mr C. Blomficld. The " Gipsy Court" contains ■a la'g6 variety of useful household utensils, while the flower stall possesses a large and varied stock of pot plants, which are inarkod at fair and reasonable prices. Messrs Stacey, Dewar and Hllingbam exercise control over the refresh ment room, and are assisted by ladies from each stall. Turning back to tbe centre ttf the room, we find tbat the " City Stall," which is o_e of the laTgcst, is managed by Mesdames Bra-ie," Beach,, loverock, and Yeoman, while the Ponsonby stall is presided over by Mesdamss Dewar, Holioway, Gaze, and Piime, assisted by nnmbers of young ladies. A space has been set apart as a printing room, and here will be published daily " Tho Tabernacle Builder," a journal of eight rages, edited by Mr Thomas Spurgeon. It will be printed in the room on a press supplied from tho Eveni&G Stab office, and each of the various printing offices will set up in torn the matter required for its publication. A very successful effort has been made to add to the attr.ciions or tbe exhibition, by the arrangeaien tof an art gallery. Pictures have been lent to tho promoters by Messrs Drummond, Waymouth, Chambeis, Walker, Blomfield. Pirie, Craig, Bolland, Abbott, Wilson, and Manin, and being hung in the ante-room at the rei>r of the main building, form a very interesting addi tion to the features of the bazaar in ooe of tbepicturcs, which isarep' esentatiye otFoit street thirty years ago, done by Major Heapy, in 1852, is particularly worthy of inspection, and will recall to tho miud3 cf many old colonists a scene now almost forgotton. One of the pro minent buildings in the foicground is Mr W. S. Grahsme'a stone bonded storr, while in close proximity to it aro three jetties, at which cargo boats are unloading their freight* two shipbuilding yards witn vessels in course of coestruction, and a Maori oanoe. The formatian of Custom House street reclaimedsuchalargesectionof land between the harbour and Fort-street, that few persons, excepting those who really saw Fort-street as it was then, would imagine now that it was once part of tho foreshore. Stops have been taken to secure the safety of all tho goods in the bazMir from lire. The institution will be opened every day from noon till 10 p.m., and we undcistaud that no lotteries or laflliDg will be allowed, the promoters depending for profit upon tho logitimstto sale of the articles displayed in the stalls. The Opening. Tho formal opening of the bazaar took place at two o'clock this aflernooD, there being a fair attendance of ladies and gentle, men at the time. Mr Thomas Spurgeon, mounting tho rostrum, said it would be as well to commence this enterprise, as it also was to commence all they did for Christ's sake, with praise and prayer. The doxology,'" Praise G?d "Jrom whom all Blessings Flow," was then sung by tho»e present, Miss Dewar accompanying on the harmonium, and Mr Srpurgeon pubsc nnontly offered prayer. Be then delivered a few remarks by way of formally opening the bazaar, Be alluded to the fact that bo had said a great deal already concerning bazaars, and their use and abuse, and it viould be mere repetition if be said more. But their presence there shewed that they believed. in bazaars, and that they could be so uti lized as not to offend their Heavenly Father. It had been arranged that there should be nothing done that might so offend, and ho thought that the abuses of former shows was no reason why they should not have one where there would be hone of these scandals. The speaker then referred to the necesity for the new Tabernacle, pointing out that for ten months they had been compelled, by the overcrowding of their own church, to hold tbe evening services in tbe Choral Hal. The Sunday school had also been over crowded, and Jthere also architectural de fects that rendered a new building desirable. Tbev were not, he said, going to erect an elaborate place of prayer. There was neces sity that it should be large, and therefore it must bo ornamental to some extent, be cause they did not want to erect a barn. They must pay their way in an enterprise of this kind, and hence tbis .baz _r. Le ferr'ing to the delay in commencing tho building, the speaker said tbat tbe fact of the Tabernacle not having been commenced was a novel impulse, but certainly a spur topeople to give. If .they were successful with this bazaar, he hoped they would be able to commence the. construction of the new Tabernacle m Marchor April of tho coram? year, but they would not begin to build until, the ground ™ their own; th-y had no mtention to build on other people's P'°Pft*:.£?• liberal assistance o the outside public in moviding tho articles displayed for sale 5S_, a 8 token that they would also assist in purchasing them. in a rather eloquent peroration, the^ speaker hankedX who had helped them, and counselled all who had been labouring for their Heavenly Father to continue the good work so far as they were able. He con worth the money. /

The Resident Magistrate to-day declared the whole of tho late Mayoral elec tion void upon petition. At tbe election the iignroa were: Haselden, 73: Carr, 70; informal, 8. The per centage of informal votes created surprise. It was mpposed that tho Returning Officer had disallowed papers which were crossed diagonally, also others with simplo down stroke instead of tho name being erased ku'izontaUy. On scrutiny by the U.M. this proved toIbo tho case in thr«o instances; hence the olection was declared vuid.

On Mr Smith proceeding upsiairs, he found tbe man stretched on his bed quite dead, though the body was warm, Dr. Stock well was summoned, but f aid he could not certify to the cause of death, an inquest thus being rendered necessary.
