August 14 will be the twenty-fifth anniversary of the consecration of the Right Rev. Dr. Dunne, Bishop of Wilcannia. The occasion will mark the silver jubilee of the creation of the diocese. At a meeting of the Catholics of Broken Hill a committee was set up to make arrangements for the celebrations. An effort will be made to present to the Bishop as a jubilee gift the Cathedral free of debt, and the ceremony of its consecration will specially mark the celebration with his jubilee. On May 24, Australia Day was enthusiastically celebrated all over New South Wales, more particularly in the Catholic schools, and it may be safely said that never before in this State were so many Australian flags flying at the same-time (says the Catholic Press). Five thousand boys and girls united in the big demonstration at St. Mary's Cathedral. It was impossible for all the children to take part, owing to the limited accommodation, but each school in the metropolis was represented. After the celebration of Mass his Grace the Archbishop delivered an address, in the course of which he impressed on the children the duty of doing good to all for the love of God and the well-being of Australia.
