(From Our Own Correspondent.) Mr. B. B. de Looze has taken over the conductorship of the Sacred Heart choirT A mission was opened in the Sacred Heart Clmrch by the, Rev. Father McDermott, C.SS.R., at the 11 o'clock Mass yesterday. The first week is for the women of the parish and the second week for the men. Very Rev. . Father Clune, C.SS.R., is expected to arrive here to-day. An open-air concert of more than usual excellence was given in the girls' school grounds on Tuesday evening last. The programme was thoroughly enjoyed. .The entertainment consisted of a cantata, entitled ' The May Queen.' The school girls, brightly arrayed, - were the «xponents, and their - singing was highly commendable. Th;j chief solos were taken by Misses F. Kennedy, L. Leigh, N. Cunningham, and M. Dennehy, all of whom acquitted themselvos -well. The Garrison Band gave a couple .of selections during . the evening, and Mr. B. B. de Looze added a pianoforte solo. A comedietta., entitled ' The Haunted House,' brought the programme to -a, suitable close. Mr. B. B. de Loose conducted the singing, and Miss Atkinson played the accompaniments with taste.
