DIOCESE OF AUCKLAND.

(From our own correspondent.) February .14. In the recent examinations the Sacred Heart College has exceeded ?11 its past records. In the Matriculation and Solicitors' General Knowledge examKniation the following boys were successful : — J. Scott, G. Ball, and P. Buckler. In th>3 Junior Civil Service examinations, thirteen) caoidMiifttes from the College were successful,- eleven of them securing credit passes. The following are the names of the boys who passed this examination :— Charles Carroll, • J. Scott, E. Buckler, H. Quinn, G. Ball, E. -Bla^e, D. O'Brien, N. Sneddon, D. O'Connor, P. McConviUe, J. Carroll, A. Ryan, and C. Molloy. Charles Carroll distinguished himself particularly by securing 13th' rlace on the list of passes, which numbered nearly a thousand altogether. He passed the Senior Civji Service Examination in the following subjects :— ■ English, and precis (commilsbry 1 ), Latin, arithmetic, aljrebra, geometry, trigonometry, and mechanics: In spite of tbe excellent results the College has secured since it was opened, four and a half ypaxs ago, our Catholic neople do rot patronise it as they should. If GVthioli-s realised the 'priceless advantages of the sound religious education imparted in the College, as well as the superiority of its teaching compared with that of

the State High Schools, the accommodation would soon be so taxed that .the brothers would be compelled to enlarge the College.
