“BREAK-UP” CEREMONY.

At the annua! “break-up” of St. Patrick’s College lon luesday afternoon, the 9th hist., an excellent musical programme was rendered by the boys. Goodson’s solo, “Ave Maria,” was well sung, and Lavin’s violin solo delighted all the musical folk present. The duo and the orchestral items were wonderfully done considering the age of the performers. The high praise given by his Grace Archbishop Redwood was deserved. Mr Paul Cullen conducted the items. Rev. Father Gilbert, S.M.M.A., welcomed Archbishop Redwood home from his travels, and said that the College was delighted with his safe return. He welcomed also his Grace Archbishop 0 Shea and the other visitors. In his report .he mentioned the departure of Fathers Gondnnger and Cullen. Father Gondringer imr Wolbed *’ or tbe old school from the year 1906, and bather Cullen also was well loved by the boys. The new teachers were Old Boys, and therefore keen upon the grand old traditions of the school. The College had not won all its matches, but the sports master declared that lie had never trained a keener team. The spirit of the School was good in all things. ?i G*r W i 6 v e Eke one large family. He thanked the Wellington Rugby Union and the Wellington Poxing Association for assistance.

His Grace Archbishop Redwood said that the orchestra was the best he had heard at St. I Patrick's. He praised warmly the rector's re- .;.-. port,, and said that he had hastened from Europe ■ to be present at this function at the College ' which he had founded, and which was so near his heart. His thoughts had been with them, and he had told His Holiness about St. Patrick's and the vocations that had come from the old v school. His Holiness had said: "How consol- / ing." The spirit of the school was what was I' found in every Marist school. He had found it -in his own College in France. He hoped the , school would increase from its present fine roll

call to 308. His Grace then described his own wa*m and clamorous reception at the Stadium during the great Congress, and his fatherly reception at the Vatican, where His Holiness showed the warmest interest in this veteran Archbishop who had grown side by side with his country from its earliest days. His Holiness expressed the hope and the belief that he would reach his Diamond Jubilee. Next year he would bestow on St. Patrick's the Papal Blessing. He loved it well, and considered its foundation his best life's work. He wished their work every blessing for the new year.-
