Another meeting in connection with the Hibernian Senior Cadet Corps was held in St. Joseph’s Hall on Tuesday evening. Captain Hussey, Lieutenant Callan (officer in charge of the corps), and Rev. Father Coffey, Adm., were present. About a dozen boys were enrolled, so that the,present membership stands at seventy-five. On Monday evening a meeting was held in St. Patrick’s Schoolroom, South Dunedin, for the purpose of organising a senior cadet corps in the district. Captain Hussey, Lieutenant Callan, and Rev. Fathers Coffey, Delany, and O’Neill, were present, and assisted in the enrolment. Between thirty and forty boys' were enrolled, and it was decided to hold another meeting after Easter for the purpose of a further enrolment. The following item of news from the Dublin Freeman’s Journal of February 20 will _be of interest to our readers in Otago, the ‘ Miss Sweeney referred to being an old pupil of the Dominican Nuns: ‘ Not the least enjoyable feature of the very successful dinner of the Ancient Order of Hibernians, held at the Florence Restaurant, London, on Saturday evening, February 18, was the excellence of the musical programme. The organisers of the function were fortunate in securing the services of some first-rate vocalists, and their splendid rendering of favorite Irish songs was richly appreciated by the company. A number of the artistes, such as M iss Eugenie Boland and Mr. Lennon, arc old favorites with London Irish audiences, while In Miss Hannah Sweeney and Mr. Gullally, two newcomers of very high promise were heard. Miss Sweeney, like Miss Boland, is an IrishAustralian, of whom much is likely to be heard in the near future. She has a rich and sympathetic voice, and her singing of 1 The dear little shamrock ’ evoked great applause.’ The members of St. Joseph’s Harriers held their official opening run from the residence of their president (the Hon. J. B. Callan, M.L.C.) on Saturday. The excellent muster of 19 turned out, under Captain James Swanson. 0. Swanson and P. Anderson were in charge of the paper, and laid an ideal trail down the hill in front of the carsheds, Kaikorai Valley, right through to Wakari. From here the trail led on to a popular picnic resort (Fraser's Gully), and thence to Fraser’s Creek. After a short spell here the trail was followed on through some very bushy country till Brockvillo road was met. From here the younger members showed great staying powers, for a. steady pace was maintained till the cable power station was reached. When nearing home a sprint was arranged, afterwards resulting in a close finish for first place between L. Goughian and Jos. Hughes, the former winning by a few yards. The members were hospitably entertained bv their hosts.
