(From our own correspondent.) March 27. At the Masses at St. Patrick's Basilica yesterday morning, the Right Rev. Mgr. Mackay, V.G., earnestly upon his hearers to subscribe to that best of papers, the New Zealand Tablet, and to consider it their duty to take it regularly and by its means widen their knowledge of things in the Catholic world, and obtain a grasp of all the great questions vitally concerning their welfare, which are so ably discussed in the columns of that excellent publication. By doing so, he said, they were assisting a noble cause, for the Tablet was ever to the fore when the defence of Holy Church was called for.

As a result of the practical examination, held in November last by Mr. Schilsky, of Trinity College, London, a junior exhibition, valued at £6 6s, has been won by Miss Vera Rankin, a pupil of Miss Cartwright, A.T.C.L. Miss Rankin gained 98 per cent, in the practical examination and 100 per cent, in the theoretical examination.
