DUNEDIN CATHOLIC LITERARY SOCIETY.

Thb weekly meeting of the above Society was held in the Christian Brothers' school on Wednesday, 18th August, Mr. B. A. Danne presiding. Apologies for non-attendance from several members were read.

The opening item on the programme was a paper by Mr. Miscall who selected " Palestine " at his subject. He gave a very minuteu te description of it as it was in the time of our Lord, describing several of the more important events in a manner which was both pleasing and insiructive. Mr. Joseph Oantwell's was Shiel'a reply to Lord Lyndhunt. This young gentleman shows promise of becoming one of the best reciters in the Society, his delivery being slow, and his pronunciation both clear and distinct. Mr. W. Power then rendered a humorous reading, bringing a short but excellent programme to a close.

Criticism on the above items, of a favourable nature, was given by Messrs. Hally and Rogers, who proposed and seconded a vote of thanks, respectively. The meeting* terminated with the üßjial vote of thanks.
