ICnglisb. Presbyterian, Wesleyan, Baplist, and other sects wore, ably represented, but tho question was freely asked— "\\ here is the Catholic representative?" It was a case of " Noil est" (nowhere to bo found), while, at (he same hour in Duncdin, the He v. Father Cofl'ey was addressing a huge gathering in St. Joseph's Cathedral Grounds. Now, the question is, are our Invercargill Catholics retaining their- energy for a grand reception to Sir Jospeh Ward, fresh from Rome, to such an extent as to consider tho last tribute to our lato beloved chicf of no concern,—l am etc., Could Wf. Sf.c Ourselves is See Us. Invercargill, June 26.
