Remuera

(From our own correspondent.) The annual 'At home' held in St. Benedict's Hall on Wednesday last by the Catholics of Remuera, Epsom, and Newmarket, was an unqualified success in every way. About 600. friends and well-wishers were present, and all spent a most enjoyable evening. An annexe was filled with euchre players, the winners of the handsome prizes —ladies, Miss E. Casey first, Miss Blakey second; gentlemen, Mr. Ward first, Mr. Long second. Streamers of green fringe and foliage were stretched horizontally across the ballroom, and around the walls, the supper-room being adorned in a similar manner. The floral decorations were narcissi in yellow

and white, shades, . .The* winning : number in the art union for "the'!l beautiful replica of Hoffman's painting, ' Christ teaching in the Temple/ was held '; by Miss McLean. As a result of the evening's entertainment, Mrs. Frost (the secretary) has handed over to Rev. Father Doyle the sum of £75 towards the church funds.
