NAPIER

(From our own correspondent.) ■ September 21. At the recent musical examination held by Mr. Edwards in connection with Trinity College, London, the following pupils of the Sisters of St. Joseph's Convent were successful :— Senior— Mary McGlpne and Katie >Kterr. Intermediate—M ary -Huston (honors), Elsie" Kaye. Junior — Amy Payne, Madge Higgins, Teresa Maroney. Preparatory— Kathleen Tacon, Winnie Casey. I regret to have to record the. death of an old resfdent of Hawke's Bay, in the person of Rhody Hennessy, who came to this district from the West Coast goldfields. He was respected by all who knew, him. He died in the Napier Hospital after a long and painful illness, aged 69 years. The remains of deceased were taken to St. Patrick's Church* where a Requiem Mess was said by Rev. Father McDonald, who also officiated at tbe graveside.— R.l.P. Exposition of the Blessed . Sacrament was held last' Sunday all the last Mass- and continued during the day, but on account of the sudden change in the weather, the procession in the evening was abandoned. The choir, who have been practising assiduously of late, were heard to advantage in the" singing of the first part of Winter's and the second part of Turner's - Masses. The great improvement in the choir reflects great credit on the conductor, Mr. F. O'Connor.

At the "last meeting of the Catholic Young Women's Association, held last Tuesday evening, which was well attended, it was decided to hold a social in the Gaiety Theatre on Wednesday, October 2, the oc- . casion being the annual reunion of the Association. The young ladies intend sparing no efforts to make the affair a great success: -It was also decided that the proceeds should go to the fund for repainting St. Patrick's Church, which work,' it is hoped, will be com- 0 pleted before the carnival in March next. Mrs. J. P. Mahony and Miss L/ Vickers were elected joint secretaries.
