Christchurch people learn with deep regret of the death of Inspector Mullaney, which occurred yesterday at Whangarei, to which place he was transferred from this city some eight months ago.

Dr. Mary Glowery, of Melbourne/ who some years ago was associated with the surgical staff of the Christchurch Hospital, informs a friend that she has entered a Dutch religious Order which specialises in working in the schools and dispensaries. While in this city she was an example of sterling faith and a source of edification to the Cathedral congregation. To take up her duties she proceeds to Guntur, India. Very Rev. Dean Hyland "writing from Omaha. Nebraska, U.S.A., gives an account of a banquet (at which he was present) in honor of Archbishop Mannix and President de Valera, both of whom he had the pleasure of meeting. It was a magnificent function, and it was from the Archbishop of Melbourne that ho Dean first heard of the appointments made to sees of Auckland and Dunedin.

In the schools’ seven-a-side football tournament, played on Saturday, the Marist Brothers’ boys won in both the open and under-12 grades. Five teams were in the finals.

O.’Loughlin : under 12: J. Scully, W. •Laffey, V. Mannix (captain), R. Noonan, A. Campbell, R. Sutherland, J. O’Malley. On next Saturday evening at the King Edward Barracks, the Grand National Carnival in connection with St. Mary’s Schools (memorial to fallen soldiers) will be brought to a close by a gorgeous coronation ceremonial. No effort has been spared in training the large number taking part in the carnival, and the dressing is to be quite a feature of the display.. Quite apart from other attractions .that will be on the move between 7 and 8 p.m., the coronation ceremony, which is to begin at the latter hour, promises to provide a spectacular display on a scale unsurpassed in this city.

In the Hibernian Hall on Thursday evening last, a few friends and supporters of the Marist Brothers’ Old Boys’ Association entertained at a smoke concert the senior football fifteen, winners of this year’s Rugby championship. Mr. T. P. O’Rourke presided, and amongst the toasts honored were “The Marist Brothers’ Club,’-’ proposed by Mr. B. J. McKenna, and responded to by Messrs. D. McCormick and F. Smyth; “Success to West. Coast Tour,” proposed by Mr. M. Grimes, responded to by Mr. Geo. Payne ; and “Club Supporters,” proposed by Mr. E. Fitzgerald, and responded to by Mr. J. Anderson. Entertaining items were given by Messrs. G. O’Sullivan, P. McNamara, B. J. McKenna, L. Brosnahan, IT. Arbott, and Mr. W. Moody’s quartett. During the evening Mr. J. M. Coffey presented to the club a very fine banner in green, with the club’s monogram in gold, and gold fringe edging. The banner was much admired, and on behalf of his comrades, Mr. D. McCormick (captain) thanked the donor for such a suitable and at the same time handsome gift.
