PALMERSTON NORTH.
(From our own correspondent.) March 3. The Half -Holiday Association have acceded to the request that Monday, March 17, the feast of St. Patrick, be observed as the halfholiday for that week, instead of Wednesday, the usual day of closing. Athletic sports on an extensive scale are being got up for the occasion, and will be held in the Sports Ground in Fitzherbert Road. I understand that an influential committee of ladies and gentlemen of the parish are working up an entirely national concert and social, and, given fine weather, the annual Catholic gathering in the Theatre Royal should be fully up to, if not eclipse, anything of its sort that has preceded it in former days.
