INVERCARGILL

(From our own correspondent.) . ' January 27. • A meeting of those interested in the Hibernian Band was hel-d on Monday evening in the Catholic Club rooms, Mr. Shepherd in the chair. There was a large attendance, and- the principal business, discussed was the settlement with the Wangaorui Garrison- Band for "their instruments. The original price of the instruments, with terms, was £135, but £120 would be- accepted for cash. A sum of about £55 is in h nrl, which leaves a balance of £6o to find. A large number of" subscription lists which have b>?en circulated throughout the district are to be called in by February 12, so they; will largely help to liquidate the amount. A draft of rules was received- and approved of.* A motion was passed that the band be registered, ' so as to safeguard its property. At the conclusion "of the meeting the Rev. Father Delany exhorted all the members to attend regularly all practices, and to acquit themselves in. a' manner creditable to the name of the, band. The Catholic -schools" will re-open on Monday next. It is to 'be hoped that after an. enroy.aMe vacation all the pupils' will take up their studies on the opening day. -
