(From an Occasional Correspondent.)

On Sunday, March 21, the membors of tho Hibernian Society to the number of thirty approached the Holy

Table, and, considering the short existence the society has had,- the members are to be congratulated on their displaj', which augurs well for the future of the branch. On Wednesday evening, March 17, the Gore branch ot the H.A.C.B. Society held a concert in their club rooms, Holland's Buildings: The entertainment -was well atten-" ded, and the directing spirits may congratulate themselves on the success of their efforts. Father O'Dbnnell in his address to the audience drew their attention to the utility -and necessity of such entertainments, than • which there is no more suitable way 'to keep before' their minds remembrance of Ireland. Mr. Owen Kelly, president of the Gore branch, urged upon all Catholic young men the necessity of joining the Hibernian Society, which- was a power- - ful means of uniting and solidifying the ranks of the Catholic youth of New Zealand. Vocal items were contributed by Mrs. o_wen Kelly, Miss Hynes, Misses Annie and T. Hanneffy, , Messrs? O'Connor, Walders, "Sweeney, and Simpson, and Mr. James Hoffman danced an Irish reel.
