ST. JOSEPH'S CONVENT SCHOOL, LYTTELTON.

(From a correspondent.)

The annual concert, given on the occasion of the distribution of prizes to the pupils, took place in St. Joseph's Convent School, Lyttelton, on Thursday, December 21. His Lordship the Right Rev. Dr. Grimes presided, the Very Rev. Dean Foley, and the Rev. Father Salvador being also preseut. The weather, which in the morning had been delightfully fine, in the afternoon changed suddenly, and. prevented the attendance of many of the parents of the pupils. The varied and attractive programme consisted of songs, violin solos and quintets, recitations, etc. The various items were rendered in a highly creditable manner. At the termination of the oonoert his Lordship distributed the prizes, and then, in a few well chosen words, thanked the children for the treat he had enjoyed, expressing regret that the inclemency of the weather had kept so many away. His Lordship also desired the children to remember that, although during the holidays books were put away, their religious duties should not be neglected, and exhorted them to put into practice those lessons of gentleness, charity, obedience, which had been inculcated by their devoted teachers.
