TIMARU

(From our own oorrespondetit.) January 28. Rev. Father Tubman, who has been confined to his bed for the last fortnight, is now convalescent, and was able to leave for Rotorua on Wednesday last. Rev. Father Vonning, who happened ,to be spending the past few weeks at the Priory, gave him every assistance with the parish work during his illness. Word was received yesterday that Master T. Lynch, son of Mr. T. Lynch, was successful in the St. Patrick's College examinations, carrying off one of the four scholarships offered. He was prepared for the examination by his teacher, Rev. Brother Martin, Superior of the Marist Brothers' School. An enthusiastic meeting was held in St. John's Hall yesterday afternoon to take steps to celebrate St. Patrick's Day. Rev Father Finnerty occupied the chair and stated the object of the meeting. Mr. Mangos was unanimously elected secretary, and representative committees were appointed. It was decided to hold the annual picnic and sports on the Caledonian Grounds, Timaru, if available. The celebration will take place on Thursday, as this is the weekly half-noliday here, and the annual concert will be held the same evening.
