Timaru

(From our own correspondent. ) November 1 1 The many old friends of the Veiv Rev Dean Foley in this parish regret to hear that he is still not able to leave Chnstchurch. The devotions in connection with the Jubilee will be held here on nc\t Friday, Satuiday, and Sunchiv Rev. Father McDonnell, one of v the ex-pupils of our own parochial school, will preach on Friday and Sunday evenings. Mr. Greene, the well known Timaru aHist, held an art union of his pictures in the Assembly Rooms en Wednesday. The first prize, a large and valuable painting, entitled ' The Gathering of the Clans,' went to Mr. R. J. Buchanan, of this town. Among the fortunate winners were Mr. J. O'Meeghan and Mrs Leigh. Mr. Greene will proceed to Europe at the beginning of next year with the object of further perfecting himself in his art. Rev. Brother Pius, who was director of the boys' parochial school for eleven years, and who lelt here last February on transfer to Invereargill, will receive a handsome memento of his labors in Tima r u in the course ot a week or two. It takes the shape of an album of Timaru and South Canterbury views, the Catholic buildings being given special prominence. The inscriptions and illuminating are fine examples of ihe work of the Sisteis of the Sac red Heart Order. The album is a credit to those who got it up, and as it carries with it the best wishes of the pupils, ex-pupils, and parents of pupils of our parochial school, the Rev. Brother Pius will be in possession of a pleasing reminder of the many happy years spent here, and of the many friends he made during that time.
