THE MANUKA AT NAPIER? 'The Napier-people-are-jnstl'y proud of their harbour works, and they take a pride in keeping up with the requirements of the transport traffic. Eaeh year these requirements become greater, to appreciate which one only has to glance at- the great difference in draught and tonnage of the present intercolonial steamers and their predecessors in the trade. As an instance of the capability of the Napier breakwater harbour, we publish this week a photograph of the s.s. .Manuka alongside the Glasgow Wharf. This vessel is the largest vessel which has been berthed at the harbour, and great, interest was shown in the event, which successfully took place on the 31st ultimo. The Manuka is 4505 tons gross register, 2783 tons net, 369 feet long, and 47 feet beam, her nett tonnage being greater than that of many of the ocean-going boats which visit our shores. ■’ • PRESENTATION TO BISHOP tENIHAN. In commemoration of the eighth anniversary of- his ordination to the Catholic Bishopric of Auckland, the Right Rev. Dr. Deuihau was the recipient last week of a handsome present in lhe shape of a purse of sovereigns containing £‘22o, enbse.ibed by this popular prelate's many friends during the t ime he was absent from the diocese attending the Catholic Congress in Melbourne. The long room of the Marist Bros'. Ohl Boy’s Association, in which the presentation was made, was packed w’th people, Hie tasteful decorations combining to convey an idea of the enthusiasm which characterised the proceedings. .His Worship the Mayor (the Hon. E. Mitchelson) occupied the ehair. Among other apologies for non-attend-ance wore received from His Excellency lhe Governor (Lord Plunket) Sir Maurice O’Rorke, and the Hon. J. A. Tole.

After part of the mus'cal programme had been gone through, the chairman rose to make the presentation to the Bishop. 'lBio speaker su'd it gave him great pleasure to be there that evening, as it did-twelve months ago, when the presentation was a larger one. It must now be very gratifying to the Bishop indeed to realise that his people were so generous towards Ji:m. The presentation he was about to receive was a valuable one. The purse containing 220 sovereigns was mounted with a shamrock in precious metal, which bore the following inscription:—“To His Lordship Bishop Ixsiiihan, with best wishes from admiring friends on the eighth anniversary, November loth, 1904. .Auckland, New Zealand.” Mr Mitehclson was proud to include the Bishop as one of his personal friends, and always derived pleasure in making a presentation to one who had charge of their largo flock. He then presented the Bishop with the purse of sovereigns on behalf of the subscribers amid loud applause, which was renewed when he handed to the Bishop a beautiful gold pen with an opal hand’e, the gift of Mr A. Kohn.

Mr Ed. Mahony," spe iking on behalf of the Catholic laity, endorsed tha : remarks of the cha’rman. He was pleased to note that after the handsome presentation that bad been made last year they were again assembled to do honour to their Bi hop in a tangible manner, and confidently hoped that the gathering would he an annual o->e, and that Dr. T.onihan would be long spared to administer h’s diocese in tbo capable manner which he had done in the past. Caiholies prided themselves

on the respect in which they hel l their clergy from the lowest to the., highest, and there was no prelite in Australasia who < ohiniand'd more respect fr nii his people than Dr. l.enilmn. He would go further and state that he felt justi-

fied in saying that, Bishop Lenilnpi <u»nnuanded the respeit. of the whole City of Auckland. Ho conclud'd by congratulating the Bishop heartily on his'having'presided so successfully for eight years over this, the premier diocese of New Zealand in his capacity as Bishop of AuekYand. (Applsiise*.) The Bishop's reply, was marked by anecdote and amusing references. He thanked his fr’ends for their generous appreciation of lr'» services; -services ■which, he said, for'tlic'past year nt any rate, did not dhser’fe“the- appreciation -

they had received. He also thanked the 2ty>yorjor presiding, and thi* eoiuqjittey for their efforts -on his behalf. The Bishop -Intimated, that he was having erected iaJiis chapel aUthe..palace seven or eight sta'ned glass windows to the memory of his to whonA the diocese was greatly The cost was between £6O and £7O. The speech was punctuated by applause throughout.IIORTICUJ.TURAL SOCIETY’S SHOW. In spite of the very unseasonable weather of the past few weeks, the summer show of the Auckland Horticultural Society was a decided success. Naturally several varieties suffered, but the general collection was a very fine one indeed. The show, which was held in Ihe Choral Hall on Friday and Saturday of last week, was opened by.
