On Sunday there was Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament from the last Mass until Vespers at St. Patrick’s Basilica, South Dunedin.

Sergeant O’Connell, who has been in charge of the South Dunedin Police Station for the last two years and a-half, left Dunedin on Friday morning to take control of the Gore district. Prior to his departure he was met by the local police staff and also by a gathering of the residents of South Dunedin, and on behalf of the former, Constable Mcßae presented the popular sergeant with a set of pipes and a tobacco pouch. The citizens presented Mrs. O’Connell with a. well-filled purse of sovereigns. Mr. P. McKay, sen., who presided over the gathering, made complimentary reference to the manner in which the sergeant had carried out his duties during his stay in South Dunedin. Sergeant O’Connell replied in suitable terms. On Wednesday afternoon of last week the members of the A.M.D.G. Guild gave a handkerchief tea at the residence of Mrs. J. B. Callan , jun. (vice-president of the guild) to Miss Mary Callan in connection with her approaching marriage. There was a good attendance, and a very pleasant afternoon was spent. The president, in making the presentation, expressed her pleasure at seeing so many present to do honor to the bride-elect, who had been one of the first members of

the guild, and had always don© her best for it. \ Tho members wished her a long life and every happiness; and they felt sure she would always remember the guild.
