THE BRUCE AUCTION ON THE MELBOURNE CRICKET GROUND.

Summary[edit]

Description
English: A Bruce Auction may be briefly described as a fancy fair, at which a large portion of the articles are sold by auction. The credit of initiating this sort of procedure to raise funds for any purpose is given to a Mr. Bruce, many years ago a prominent colonist, who was exceedingly successful in obtaining a large sum for a charitable institution by this combination of auction and bazaar. Since then the plan has been adopted on many occasions with marked success, but not one of them with greater than that attending the Bruce Auction on the Melbourne Cricket Ground on the 10th April last in aid of the funds of the Homoeopathic Hospital.
