Picton

(From an occasional correspondent.) A most enjoyable evening was spent in the Catholic clubrooms on the 9th inst, the programme being essays on historical names. The clubroom was crowded with members and their lady friends. A social arranged by the parishioners of St. Mary’s was held in Si. Patrick’s Hall on the 15th inst. A euchre tournament provided a pleasant evening’s amusement to a large number of patrons. The news of Father Hill’s preferment as Very Rev Dean, Vicar-General, and Administrator in the Canterbury diocese, was received here with pleasure, tinged with regret. Dean Hills, who has made many friends during his residence here as parish priest, will be Rector ot the parish at Christchurch East. The Very Rev Dean was the recipient of many congratulatory telegrams from all parts of the Dominion.
