Masterton

(From our own correspondent.)

The Masterton Mounted Rifles, under Captain J. C. McKillop, held an exceptionally well attended full-dress church parade at the 10.30 o'clock Mass at St. Patrick's Church last Sunday. The corps chaplain (the Very Rev. Dean McKenna) preached a most impressive discourse on the occasion.

The usual meeting of the H.A.C.B. Society was held last Tuesday, Bro. Richards in the chair. There was a large attendance of members. The quarterly balance sheet was read, which showed the branch to be in a sound financial and flourishing condition. Two candidates were proposed for membership. Bros. H. O'Leary and F. Treader were elected trustees, and Bros. B. Chapman, J. Curry, and S. O' Regan were appointed delegates to the Masterton Friendly Societies' Council.
