July 19. The Marist Brothers' boys have won the schools football competition, having gone through the season without a defeat. The usual meeting of the H.A.B.C. Society was held on July 15.

The society intends to hold a social at West Plains at an early date, the proceeds to go to the benevolent fund. The Invercargill Catholic Club held its usual meeting on Tuesday evening. The programme for the evening was mock breach of promise case. The congregation were invited to attend, which they did in strong force.
