DIOCESE OF DUNEDIN

An old and highly respected resident of Dunedin, in the person of Mr. Robert McQuillan, passed away at his residence, Hanover street, on Tuesday.R.l.P. Rev. Father Creagh, C.SS.R., is giving a renewal mission in Ranfurly this week, and the Rev. Father Tuohey, C.SS.R.,is still engaged in Cromwell district. On Sunday there was Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament at St. Joseph's Cathedral from the last Mass until after Vespers, when there was the usual procession followed by Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament. The following students of St. Dominic's College, in addition to those whose names were published in our last issue, were successful at the Preliminary Oxford examination:Patricia Higgins (pass), Eileen Corcoran (partial). Through inadvertence the name of Mamie O'Brien was included in last week's list. The many friends of Miss Dennehy, who met with a motor car accident about three weeks ago and sustained severe bruises, will be pleased to learn that she is progressing favorably at Nurse Thompson's Private Hospital. The medical attendant expects that she will be about again in a fortnight. r. The arrangements for the annual St. Patrick's Night concert are now completed, and, judging by the excellence of the programme to be presented, the concert will be the most successful of its kind held here for many years. General satisfaction is expressed at the engagement of so talented an artist as Mr. Newbury. The Kaikorai Band is preparing two especially attractive items, and the Christian Brothers' Boys' Choir have been carefully practising their numbers. ST. PHILOMENA'S COLLEGE, SOUTH DUNEDIN.
