(From our own correspondent.) August 17. The euchre match between the Irish Rifles and St. Mary's Catholic Club will take place next Thursday. The St. Mary's Catholic Club intend having a debate with the Christ Church Club next week. The Very Rev. Father Clune, U.SS.R., has arrived here to conduct the retreat of the Children of Mary, which will, commence on Sunday. The club intend having another billiard tournament for a medal which has been kindly donated to the club by a well-wisher, and have received a large entry. In my report of the St. Mary's Club's performance of ' Jane ' I evidently omitted to put in the name of Mr. G. DO, who took the part of William, the valet, so capably. A very pleasant time was spent at the Fire Brigade Hall on Thursday, when the St. Mary's Football Club gave a concert and progressive euchre party. Mr. Lomax being the director. The club's musical b»ranch rendered the chorus, ' Sweet bells are chiming,' Mr. F. D. Cafianey being soloist. Items were also given by Messrs. McEwan, Campbell and Gaffaney. The winners at the progressive euchre (which was the first given in the town) were— Ladies, Misses Crowley, and K. Dwyer ; gentlemen, Messrs. J. M. Hogan and P. F. Thorpy. Other prizes presented were those which had been won at the club's rooms: — Mr. J. Mcßrearty's gold medal for winner of recent billiard tournament, Mr. Jas. Markham ; Rev. Father Mahony's silver medal for winner of quoit tournament, Mr. J. McDonald ; and club's prize for winner of the euchre tournament, Mr. T. Clarke. Refreshments were handed around by the members of the club. It is the intention of the club to organise another ojie in the near future.
