Ootober 16. The Seminary Fund collection in the city on this ocoaiion has been much better than last year. Operations have been started at the Marist Brothers' new college by the contractor, Mr Moody. The Marist Brothers' School at the corner of Hobson and Wellington streets has been painted throughout on the outiside, and now presents a much improved appearance. For Auckland City there is quite a plethora of candidates, and more are promised.
