A cake and scone competition also took plac \ an-l the winners were Mi^s F.

During the evenii g songs wore sung by Misses Grady and McLaughlin, and Mr. A. O'Brien, and instrumental selections were given by Misses Oakef, Messrs. Oakes (2), Tankard, H. Donnelly. Mr. H. Rossiter presided over one part of the programme, and Mr. Oakes, senr., over the other. Bishop Grime, it seems, from a recent letter from the London correspondent of a local paper, after taking part in the celebrations at Kbbsfleet in honour of the thirteenth centenary of the landing of St. Augustine, was one of the party shown over Canterbuiy Cathedral by Dean Farrar. In the evening of that day he addressed tho members of the Catholic Truth Society at Ramsgate. The following day he paid a vis-it to Mother St. John at Hastings, a nun who had been over thirty years in Christchurch. On Sunday, September 12, ho pontificated and preached in the beautiful church of the Marist Fathers. London. It was at this church that, ten years ago last July, Bi.shop Grimes was consecrated first Catholic Bishop of Christchurch, and where, in 1874. Archbishop Redwood was consecrated Bishop of Wellington. Last Sunday Bishop Grimes spent at the charming residence of Mr. E. Granville Ward, at Freshwater. Isle of Wight. In the morning he sang Pontifical High Mass i n the grand Gothic church on the estate, and in the evening Vespers, and preached to a large congregation. Last week Bishop Grimes was staying in his old home in Paignton, Devonshire, one of the most lovely spots in England, and preached last Sunday at the Church of St. Mary's which was built on St. Mary's Hill, Paignton, in ISS4. This week he has been staying with Dr. Brownlow, and will shortly be the guest of the Hon. Mr. Herbert, of Lanover, Wales. As I mentioned before, Bishop Grimes will again visit Ireland, and he has undertaken to preach a series of sermons there during the months of October and November. He returns to TJlngland early in December, and then goes to France anfc Italy. w^
