DIOCESE OF DUNEDIN
A cable message has been received by Mr. James Lynch, Ho-kitika, that his brother, Rev. Father Lynch, CSS.R., formerly of the diocese of Dunedin, has left by the ' Orontes ' for Australia. The children of the St. Vincent de Paul Orphanage, South Dunedin, enjoyed a treat on Friday afternoon, when his Lordship the Bishop vis-ited the institution, and gave several selections with his gramo-pho-ne. On Monday afternoon Mr. Val Vousden. entertained the inmates in his inimitable way. The St. Clair Comedy Company will produce the threeact farce, ' Jane ' in St. Joseph's Hall on Friday Evening. The farce abounds in very humorous situations, and is highly productive of much amusement, 'especially when presented by such a 1 capable corabinatwm as 1 the St. Clair Comedy Company, whose reputation as highly successful amateur actors is known.
A new church will shortly be erected at Thornbury in the Riverton parish. Considerable improvements (writes our travelling correspondent) haye v been effected in the Catholic church at Wyndham within the last few weeks. A vestry and sanctuary have treen added to the building. About a month ago an organ was puichased, and the proposal to establish a choir is b'cing taken up with great enthusiasm. The meeting of St. Joseph's Men's Club on Friday evening took the form of a mock banquet. Toasts were proposed by Rev. Fathers Coffey, Corcoran, Messrs. Corcoran, T. Deehan, H. Miles, D. O'Connell, D. S. Columib} and J. A. Hally, and replied to bty Rev. Brother Brady, Messrs. E. Spain, W. Bevis, D. Beard, and A. Cameron (Nokomai). Songs were contributed by Messrs.^ W. Clarke, H. Miles, D. S. Columb, and J. Haydon, Mr. F. Helcy acting as accompanist. Mr. R. Burke also contributed a lecitation. The speeches were very good, those of the younger menvbers, who made their maiden efforts, being very creditable. Altogether a most enjoyable evening was spent.
