DUNEDIN CATHOLIC LITERARY SOCIETY.

At the weekly meeting of the Dunedin Catholic Literary Society Mr. C. E. Hau^hton presided in the unavoidable absence of the Rev. Father Murphy.

After the minutes of the previous meeting had been read and confirmed, the report of the committee with regard to the advisability of getting up an entertainment in aid of funds for buildin^ the hall was discussed. The committee reported that after consideration they had decided that the best means of raising money would be by the staging of a play. They had made arrangements with Mr. Barrie Marshall, the well known actor, to supervise the staging and had also made arrangements to secure the theatre for the end of October. The selection of a play was still occupying their attention, but they expected to have everything arranged by next meeting night. After some discussion, on the motion of Mr. Scott the committee's report was unanimously adopted, and the committee were empowered to add to their number in order to make all necessary arrangements in connection with the play.
