SACRED HEART COLLEGE, AUCKLAND.

THB pupils of tbe Marist Brothers' College, Auckland (writes a correspondent), lately Bpent a most enjoyable afternoon in the cricket field, having been granted a half holiday in honour of tbe College having attained a roll of fifty students, and of tbe return of James O'Reilly, the first successful candidate at the Civil Service examination. Needless to say, the students thoroughly appreciated the short relaxation from school discipline, and wished their fellow student greater success in bis higher studies. St Patrick's Pay found them at Panmure heartily enjoying the sports and other good things provided by the genial Father Walter. The fact that their late-lamented and revered Superior, Rev Brother Joseph, calmly sleeps in the neat little churchyird hardby, add3d a touch of sadnees to the otherwise joyous day. Another ple?sing occurrence happened this month. On St Joseph's Day they held their annual soirep, at vhich Rev Father McMillan spoke of the importance of being imbued, in youth, with tbe principles of our holy religion taught by such devoted teachers as the Marist Brothers.
