Greymouth

(From our own correspondent;) ~. ■'-<.;*&" .. October 10. His Grace -Archbishop Redwood arrived in town by the Christchurch express on Tuesday evening on his way to Denniston to open a new church on Sunday, October 12. He was the guest of Very Rev. Dean Carew until Thursday, when he left for Westport. His Grace returns to Greymouth next week to be present at the re-opening of St. Patrick's Church oh the 19th inst, which is now rapidly nearing completion.- " The new presbytery is also nearing completion, but it will be some week's yet before the finishing touches are given it. ' ' ' . :-■ At the last meeting of the Hibernian Society, a resolution congratulating the members of St. Columba Club ana St. Cecilia's Club, and the pupils of the Marist Brothers and the Sisters of Mercy on their success at the competitions, was passed unanimously. A letter was received from the district secretary, intimating that the district deputy had resigned his position, and asking the Grey branch to hold an election amongst the West Coast branches to fill the position. Bros. Keenan, Fogarty, and Dennehy were nominated for the position, and it was decided to circularise all branches, asking them to hold an election. A very successful meeting was held in the club rooms last Sunday for the purpose of making arrangements for the holding of a bazaar at Christmas time in aid of the church extension fund. ;As the Very Rev. Dean has incurred a huge debt through the building of the new presbytery and the additions and alterations to the church, it behoves all' to assist in making the bazaar a success. It was decided 1 to hold the carnival from December 10 to 13 inclusive in the St. Columba Hall. The. following ladies were appointed to take charge of the stalls:Mrs. Hannan, Mrs. Martin, Misses Fogarty and Barry. The Children of Mary, under the direction of Misses Shanahan, Kennedy, and Roche, and Mrs. Cusack will also have a stall. The tea room was allocated to Mrs. Burger and Mrs. Greseting. -
