A DESERVED RECOGNITION.
n In replying to address from the Catholics of Auckland the other day Dr Luck, the new bishop of the diocese, said: finishing my address I have an announcement to make which I have no doubt will fall upon your ears with universal satisfaction. While I was in Rome, and when this weighty charge was assigned to me, having long before and often heard of the _-reat merit and uniring exertions of our beloved Vicar-General (Father Fyne), I applied to His. Holiness to give from his paternal love some recognition of services long and zealously rendered to the Church. I obtained the honor of his being appointed one of the supernumerary private chamberlains to His Holiness. Through this he is entitled to several privileges, of which he can avail himself. He will appear in a purple cassock and the other insignia which it is customary for private chamberlains of His Holiness to wear. I shall read to you' the diploma conferring this appointment, which makes Monsignore Fynes one of His Holiness’s domestic prelates." The Freeman's Journal remarks that Father Fynes is the first hlew Zealand ecclesiastic who has been raised to the dignity of a Monsignore, and the second in the Australian colonies, the other being Monsignore Lynch, of Sydney.
