(From our own correspondent.)

February 7.

On February 1, the Catholics of Gisborne and Ormond parishes were entertained at a picnic, arranged by Rev. Father Carran. The outing was held at Puha, the use of the grounds being given by Mr. W. 11. D. Macdonald, M.P. It was a most enjoyable outing. On Tuesday evening the altar boys of St. Mary’s Church gave a social evening to Master E. Williams, one of their number, who is leaving to attend the Sacred Heart College, Auckland. After doing full justice to the good things, the boys asked the Rev. Father Golden, who was present also as a guest, to accept as a small token of their appreciation a handsome pocket wallet. Alter thanking the boys for their generous present, Father Golden, on behalf of the boys, presented Master Williams with a fine gold cross pendant, and wished him every success in his scholastic career.
