(Prom our own correspondent.) November 11. The Very Rev. Father Keogh, S.M., of Hastings, was the guest of the local clergy during the week, A return euchre and social evening was tendered to the members of the H.A.C.B. Society on last Monday evening, by the members of the senior and junior conferences of the St. Vincent de Paul Society. After euchre (which was won by the. latter by 24 games to 22), light refreshments were partaken of (thanks to the energetic ladies’ committee). Cordial references were made by the presidents of the three societies to the happy relations that exist between the various societies. A return cricket match was played between the senior and junior conferences of the St. Vincent do Paul Society on last Saturday afternoon on the District High School grounds. On both occasions now the senior conference has had to bow to defeat. The ladies’ committee again proved their worth by kindly dispensing afternoon tea. Palmerston North (From our own correspondent.) November 14. On Sunday last a largely attended meeting of parishioners, presided over : by the Rev. Father McManus, authorised the erection of a new parish school. The building, which is to be of brick, will be erected on the property held by the parish in Grey street, and will be up-to-date in every respect. The remarkable increase of the parish school roll has made the erection of a larger building imperative. On Sunday next the devotion of the Forty Hours’ Adoration will begin. / Tickets are selling well for the cantata which the convent pupils intend giving on December 7 in aid of the Belgian relief and new church funds, and it seems the undertaking must be a great success.
