Karangahake

(From an occasional correspondent.) May 12. A very successful social was held under the auspices of the Catholic Club on the evening of the 7th inst. Montgomery's Hall was well filled, and a most enjoyable time was spent. Part of the evening was devoted to a euchre tournament, for which valuable prizes were presented, the lady's prize falling to Mrs. P. Crosby, and the gentleman's to Mr. Jury. • The president (Mr! John Patton), in the course of the evening, presented our esteemed pastor, Right Rev. Mgr. Hackett, with a purse of sovereigns, contributed by the residents of Karangahake, as a mark of their appreciation of his worth, and as an expression of their pleasure at the high dignity recently conferred upon him. The Monsignor, in his usual witty style, thanked the donors, and expressed the pleasure he felt at seeing such a large gathering of all denominations enjoying themselves so heartily. Vocal items were contributed during the evening by Mrs. Lawry, Miss Geary (Waihi), and Miss Griffin. Mr. M. Farrell (club secretary), assisted by an energetic committee, deserves much praise for the excellent arrangements he had made in connection with the social, as it was most successful in every way.
