Derby. — Our correspondent reports: — The topic for the past week has undoubtedly been the Anglican Church bazaar, which was instituted for the purpose of raising funds to build a church at Derby. The promoters must have been much gratified with its financial results, which amounted to a sum exceeding £90. I understand that an official report of the above is in preparation, so I shall not go into details. An admirable site for the proposed church has been selected on rising ground in the centre of the township, and an area of a quarter-acre has been pegged off and a contract let for its enclosure.

DERBY ANGLICAN BAZAAR,
A correspondent reports– On the 20th, 21st, 22nd of August a bazaar was held in the Town Hall in aid of a fund toward the erection of an Anglican Church. Hitherto the member of the Church of England at Derby have had no church building, having had to worship in any building which chance threw in their way. The Rev E Prince Shelly became incumbent of the Ringarooma district, and urged upon the Anglican community at Derby the necessity for providing funds for the erection of a church. They rose to the occasion, and a ladies’ committee was appointed to carry out arrangements for holding a bazaar. With a perseverance and energy beyond all praise, the committee in a short time worked up a most excellent bazaar. Owing to the depression in trade and mining, they did not expect to realise a greater sum than £60, but the proceeds reached the handsome sum of £92 net.
