(From our own correspondent.)

October 12. The Hibernian Band gave a sacred concert at West Plains on Sunday, October 4. Mr. J. Moriarty is now in the district putting forward the claims of the N.Z. Tablet. The pupils of St. Catherine's Convent entertained their parents and friends to a very enjoyable musical treat on Friday evening. — The Invercargill Catholic Club concluded the session on Tuesday evening, when they presented to the large number of friends and supporters present a very enjoyable musical programme. Mr. H. Gallagher received a volume of Dickens' works as first prize in the recent oratorical competition. The fortnightly meeting of St. Mary's branch of the H.A.C.B. Society was held on Wednesday evening last. • The branch, which was opened on October 7, 1907, has every reason to be proud of the position it now holds. Although it is the youngest branch in the Dominion, its membership is now well over three figures, as are also the funds.
