DIOCESE OF DUNEDIN

There was Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament on Sunday at St. Patrick's Basilica, South'Dunedin. In the evening there was the usual procession, followed by Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament.

His Grace Archbishop Redwood arrived in Dunedin from the north on Thursday afternoon, and whilst here was the guest of his Lordship Bishop Verdon at the Bishop's Palace. His Grace the Archbishop, his Lordship Bishop Verdon, Right Rev. Mgr. Mackay, V.G., and Very Rev. Father Coffey, Adm., left on Saturday morning for Invercargill, where they assisted on Sunday at the ceremonies in connection with the reopening of St. Mary's Church.

On Wednesday evening the Jubilee Bazaar was opened in the Coronation Hall, Milton, by the Mayor. The bazaar is so named because it is in celebration of the silver jubilee of the foundation of the Dominican Nuns there. The object of the bazaar is to provide funds for the erection of a sacristy and sanctuary as additions to the church, a chapel for the nuns, and additions to the parish school. ' The preparations for the function have been in progress for nearly two years, but owing to the many demands made upon the people in connection with the patriotic funds it could not be held until now. The postponement had at least one good effect, as it gave more time for the providing of the goods, the result being that there was a splendid display of artistic and useful articles which excited the admiration of those present at the opening ceremony, the attendance on the occasion and the business done being a good augury for the success of the undertaking. Taking advantage of the fine day, a large number of St. Joseph's Harriers turned out last Saturday for the run from St. Joseph's Hall. The hares (Messrs. L. Marlow and F. Tourell) laid an exceedingly good trail, comprising bush, hill, valley and road. The pack, under J. O'Farrell (captain), with E. W. Nolan (deputy-captain), followed the paper up Rattray street, along the Queen's Drive to the back of the High School, through the Town Belt and Littlebourne to Kaikorai Valley. Skirting the golf links, the trail led across some beautiful harrier country to the Reservoir. After a brisk run through Woodhaugh, and ascending the bullock track to Maori Hill, the pack returned to the hall via the Drive and Stuart street. The hares, who had only five minutes' start, were sighted twice on the journey. On returning, the members of the Ladies' Club supplied an excellent tea. After an enjoyable musical programme, Mr. O'Farrell thanked Mrs. Jackson and the ladies for their generous hospitality. Messrs Nolan and Ahern also expressed their appreciation of the kindness of the ladies. The evening was brought to a close with three cheers for St. Joseph's Ladies' Club.
