St. Mary's Hospital, Paddington: in a ward, 1895. 'In aid of the funds of that very excellent institution, St. Mary's Hospital, Paddington, a grand bazaar is to be held at the Portman Rooms on June 27, 28, and 29. The Queen has consented to be the patron of the bazaar, which will also enjoy royal favour in the presence of the Princess of Wales, who performs the opening ceremony at one o'clock on June 27. The Duke and Duchess of York also hope to be present during some part of the proceedings. The Illustrations which we give of the hospital may further stimulate public interest in the forthcoming bazaar, which it is sincerely hoped will add a goodly sum to the exchequer of the institution. All London hospitals feel the depression of trade and the consequent decrease in subscriptions, but such refuges for the sick as St. Mary's Hospital has proved are especially in need of generous support'. From "Illustrated London News", 1895.
