Illustration for The Illustrated London News, 16 July 1859. FANCY BAZAAR HELD ON BOARD THE "MONARCH AND "AGAMEMNON." Tas fancy fair, graciously patronised by her Majesty, and the object of which was to aid the funds of the Merchant Seamen's Orphan Asylum, was held on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday (last week), on board the Monarch, and Agamemnon, of nearly 2000 tons each, belonging to Mr. Green's fleet. The vessels were laid alongside one another in the East India Docks. The first vessel was tastefully decorated with. plants and shrubs, and used as a promenade, this magnificent ship, owing to its extreme length, being well adapted for the purpose. The refreshments were supplied by Messrs. Ring and Brymer, who gave the profits to the benefit of the institution. A full band, composed of musicians among the men employed in Messrs. Green's establishments, performed during the three days varions selections from the best music of the day. The deck of the second vessel was arranged with stalls, magnificently decorated and furnished with a gorgeous display of the manufactures of India, and fancy work contributed by the ladies of England. There were eight stalls, four being held by Mr. Green's personal friends, two by ladies of the committee of the institution, one by the orphans of the institution itself, and the last by the children of the school supported by Mr. Green in the neighbourhood Among the distinguished visitors were the Duchess of Northumberland, Miss Burdett Coutts, the Earl of Eglinton, and other celebrities. All the arrangements were made under the directions of Mr. Selfe, and reflect the highest ciedit upon him and the other gentlemen of Mr. Green's establishment who acted with him. The gross amount realised at this fancy bazaar was £1687. Rare Books |
