HOSPITAL SATURDAY FUND.

MEETING OF THE COMMITTEE.

SOME INTERESTING FACTS.

A meeting of the ladies Hospital Saturday committee was held at the Town-
hall yesterday afternoon, when Mrs. Brown (the Mayoress of Perth) occupied
the chair. Mrs. Brown thanked the ladies for the hearty way that they
entered into their work, and for the result they had achieved by their
efforts.

Miss Withers (the secretary) read the report, and also thanked the ladies
who had assisted in making the movement such a success.

Votes of thanks were accorded to Messrs. Castieau and Company far the loan
of a horse and trap, and Mr. Abrahams for driving the turnout during the
day.

The Federal Band were congratulated on the success of their Queen's
Gardens concert, and the ladies expressed regret that they had not
attended to take up collections, but promised to assist the band if they
would be good enough to perform on some future occasion.

The following additions to the fund were announced : —
Claremont Congregational Church, £7 5s. 3d. ;
Trinity Congregational Church, £15 ;
Midland Junction Anglican Church, 15s. 6d. ;
West Perth Presbyterian Church, £1 1s.
These were the only amounts received from the churches,
although 40 circulars were sent to the various clergymen, It was decided
to request these gentlemen to kindly send in their lists as soon as
possible.

The largest amounts were collected by the following :—
Mrs. Edgcumbe, stand, Moir’s-chambers, £50.
Mrs. Walker, stand, railway station, £42.
Mrs. Cummings, stand, Melbourne Hotel, £40.
The first-named had Mrs. Watson, McDougall, and Miss E.  Holford Edgcumbe
as assistants, and the former collected 1,000 cigars which Mr. Glowrey
bought for £10.

It was decided to have a photo group taken of all those who took part, and
ladies were asked to be at Government Gardens, opposite the Post-office,
at 2.30 this afternoon. The children who assisted will be taken at the
same place at noon on Saturday.

The committee reported that the leading firms and their employees
contributed very liberally to the fund, but the lists had not all been
collected yet. As soon as these were in the names and amounts would be
published. This would probably be early next week. Some of the firms would
take up collections at the end of this week.

The final result the committee hope will be fairly good. The meeting
agreed, how- [ever] … [missing original text] … decorative work, but there
is a depth of richness and a wealth of colour about it that brings to mind
the magnificent colouring of the stained windows in the English minsters
and superb tints of the pottery ware to be found in the Continental art
galleries. A variety of ornamental plates are also noteworthy, some
PAINTED BY RABY, [sic] the finest rose and poppy painter in England, and
two in orchid designs, the work of Dewsbury, whose profession takes him to
the best orchid houses in the world. There are also some remarkable
specimens of the new Holbein ware, representing figures and landscapes,
which are painted on the green clay and then burnt and glazed.
