THE HIBERNIAN TRIENNIAL MOVABLE MEETING

Bro. J. J. Marlow, District Deputy for Otago and Southland of the Hibernian Society, who attended the recent triennial meeting of the Dominion District at Christchurch last week, informs us that it was one of the best yet held in New Zealand. Sixty delegates (of whom five were ladies) were in attendance, and the business transacted should make for the progress of the society. The debate in connection with the proposed centralisation of the sick fund .was of a very high order, and resulted in the scheme as formulated being adopted by 51 votes to 8. Authority was given the district trustees to invest the funeral funds in any of the four centres. The following motion (proposed by Bro. Marlow) was unanimously adopted —“That with the object of providing assistance to Catholic children who win , National Scholarships a levy of 3d per member per quarter he adopted, and that Hibernian scholarships be granted (as far as funds will allow) to those scholars who have been so unjustly deprived of the fruits of their labor and ability.” 1
