(From our own correspondent.) The St. Mary’s Tennis Club have had their courts extended and top-dressed. It is expected that the opening day will. take place towards the end of the present month. On Rosary Sunday the usual procession took place in the convent grounds, and a feature of the ceremony, was the large number of men present; in fact the whole procession was the largest for some years. The Rev. Father Woods recited the Rosary, and the convent children and the Children of Mary sang the incidental music. The Hibernian Band members gave their first promenade concert, since they obtained their new instruments, on Sunday afternoon at Rugby Park. There was a good attendance of the public, and the band-- played several pleasing selections with their new instruments, which, by the way, cost over £600.. At present the bandsmen are practising assiduously in view of the contest which is to be held here next month..
