(From our own correspondent.) St. Patrick’s Club commenced their season by a euchre party and social on Wednesday evening last. There was a large attendance. The prizes, which were donated by Mr. and Mrs. M. Leonard, jun., were won by Mr. Kennedy and Miss Breslin. During the evening Mr. Leonard took the opportunity of presenting Miss Kathleen Harris (who represented St. Patrick’s School in the recent carnival, and who was so successfully placed at the head of the pole) with a dainty emerald and pearl brooch, and Miss Cleary, her energetic secretary, who did so much to get the Green flag on top, with a handsome ladies’ companion. Rev. Father Aubry, S.M., suitably replied on behalf of Mrs. Harris, who was unable to be present owing to ill-health. Mr. M. J. Kane, replying for Miss Cleary, said that what she had done was done for the honor and glory of the school. On her behalf he thanked the Sisters of St. Joseph, the members of the committee, and especially mentioned Mr. and Mrs. Leonard, who were really the mainstay of the carnival. Refreshments were handed round by the ladies. With the Rev. Father Aubry as treasurer, the officers appointed for the year are as follows:—President, Mr. M. Leonard, jhn.; vice-president, Mr. M. Lyons secretary, Miss Sims. The prizes for the next euchre party have been kindly donated by Mr. M. J. Corrigan.
