(By Amciation.)

CHRISTCHUKCH, Last Night. Tho fact Hhat education hoard scholarships cannot be held at Catholic Colleges was .referred, to by Bishop Grimes in. an address at a presentation of prizes this afternoon. His Lordship said that Oathol«: children were generally loyal to their Alma- Mater. Yet He thought they strove hard to obtain free places. These could not be worked .'out at their own school. Ho did not think that it was ever intended that this condition of affairs should exist. At least two Governors had told him that they considered it a great act of injustice. "I see only on© way out of it," His Lordship continued. ' 'and that is for tho Government to s>ay what leally should be done. We should not be bound doiwn tf) go through the undignified proceeding of bogging fi-Kii educations boards what we have a right to have otherwise. T suppose, though wo- shall have to use the powerful weapon of agitation in this question, in an electoral or other nftinp.iVn, _ We SSSIst in electing liembers of education boards, and trough wt> bj/vo kept free from those i lections, 'Ac. havo onlv to s.--- the vord, a>i 1 we know what Ctriolies will do."
