(From our own correspondent.) April 23. On the 19th inst., a concert party organised by St. Anne’s Guild visited the Old People’s Home and entertained the inmates. A splendid programme of songs, dances, musical selections, and recitations was gone through, to which the following contributed: —Mrs. J. G. Yenning, Mrs. W. Hertnon, Misses A. O’Connell and T. O’Sullivan’ Messrs. J. Richardson, G. F. Doyle, P. Dickel, and Guthrie, Masters L. Hertnon and G. Gaw. Misses C. and M. Kyle gave an Irish jig and hornpipe in their usual finished style. The accompaniments were efficiently played by Mrs. Venning and Miss Young, and Mr. Guthrie supplied the pipe music for the dancing. Supper was provided by the visitors, who were accorded a hearty vote of thanks, and a pleasant gathering terminated with the singing of “Auld Lang Syne” and the National Anthem. At a recent meeting of the executive of the Catholic Club sub-committee were set up to attend to the various activities in connection with the club. The following delegates representing the affiliated clubs are attached to the executive: —Mr. P. Stapleton (Celtic Football Club), Mr. Geo. Flett (Celtic Cricket Club), Mr. Geo. Gamble (St. John’s Tennis Club), Mr. H. Travis (Miniature Rifle Club), and Mr. C. Dwan (St. Patrick’s Swimming Club). The club held its first meeting of the session on the 16th inst., when the programme for the evening was “Question Box.” There was a good attendance, many subjects were discussed, and a profitable evening was spent. Some of the younger members were encouraged to take the floor for the first time, and acquitted themselves in a satisfactory manner.
