MR. THOMAS HARDY AND BAZAARS.

Mr. Thomas Hardy made one of his rare appearances at a public function when he opened a county garden fete and sale at Dorchester in aid of the Dorset County Hospital on Wednesday.  Mr. Hardy who was accompanied by Mrs. Hardy, made a short speech, in which he said much might be said about bazaars, for and against, and he feared he had occasionally spoken against them himself, but it was “never too late to mend.”
