(From our own correspondent.) July 14. Owing to the energy of the Tablet representative (Mr Beard) in his recent canvass, nearly 80 new subscribers to the Tablet have been secured. This excellent weekly paper is now read in over 200 Catholic homes throughout the Oamaru parish— a fine record indeed, and one that compares favorably with that of any parish in. New Zealand. Readers will'kindly note that the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass will be celebrated at Windsor Park and Kxirow on July 20, and at Duntroon and Georgetown on July 27. v ' . ' < " : ' V." . ' ;[. £[~ ' St. Thomas’ Academy is rapidly becoming a popular centre of training for Catholic boys. Fifty boarders have been enrolled for the new term, which begins on Tuesday, July 22. To provide increased accommodation it is the intention of the Dominican Nuns to build a new community chapel, leaving the -present chapel free for use as a classroom. With this object in view, a

successful sale of work was held f last week in the college, by the Sisters and their past pupils, when a return of over £IOO rewarded the efforts of this energetic band of workers. The principal prize was a firescreen, the lucky number (110) being held by Miss ~ Dormer, Oamaru. '• The. nuns wish to thank. the local .clergy, friends, and ex-pupils for contributing to the success of the fete. : ,;/.,L,; v: ..., ; Vi; -.•.--: ;-."H'- --:• ■ •:-.■.•?,,:;■■•-'
