The Athletic Football Club are again to the front, having during the last fortnight met and defeate.d the Star Club by 11 points to nil, and the Pirates by 21 points to nil. The Athletics bave not as yet had their line crossed. On Sunday, June 14, the members of the Catholic Club, to the number of 60, approached the Holy Table in a body. , After Mass the members assembled in St/ Joseph's Schoolroom, where the Ladies' Ciub had provided breakfast. The Eev. Father Kavanagh, addressing the members at the breakfast, said it 'gave him great^ pleasure to see that morning such a progression of faith by the members present, and urged them to give every assistance to one' another, in furthering and fostering the interests of their Club. The President (Mr. L. W. J. Morton), Messrs J. Collins, J. MaeNamara, Mulvey, Pound, and Sims also spoke.
