Catholic cemetery on Tuesday afternoon. The esteem in which the deceased was held, and the widespread sympathy felt at his early demise, were shown by the lengthy cortege that followed the hearse to the gravesidej The funeral was one of the largest seen in Kaikoura. At the graveside, the Rev. Father Johnston delivered a most impressive address.-R.I.P. Mrs. P. Keenan, a much-esteemed resident of Kaikoura, passed away at her home a few weeks ago, after a short illness. The deceased was of a kind and generour disposition and a sterling Catholic. The funeral was exceptionally large and representative, and the fact that such great numbers came from long distances to pay a last tribute of respect goes to show the esteem in which deceased was held. The Rev. Father Johnston, officiated at the graveside, and also delivered a feeling address. ; R.l.P. The builders are making good progress with the new convent and school. The convent will be a twostorey building of tasteful design and thoroughly up-to-date. The school will accommodate over a hundred pupils.
