Society was held in St. Joseph’s School on Sunday. 1 here was a large attendance of members, and they all displayed a keen interest in the welfare of the branch. During the quarter eight new members have joined, one was initiated on Sunday, and four others have been proposed. The branch has been in communication with the district secretary for some time re the members joining the Auckland Hospital Conference, and a letter from the district secretary, giving the necessary particulars, was discussed and members decided to accept (he terms offered. There were contests for most of the offices, and the election resulted as follows : -—President, Bro. T. Kelly; vicepresident, Bro. J. Shields; secretary, Bro. T. J. Ryan ; treasurer, Bro. J. J. Ritchie ; warden, Bro. T. Cotter; guardian, Bro. 11. Beck; sick visitors, Bros. S. Sullivan and A. McGuire; auditors, Bros. P. Kelly and T. Cotter.
