SHAND'S TRACK (LINCOLN).

(From our Christchuroh correspondent.) The distribution of prizes to the children attending the parish school of Shand's Track took plaoe on Friday, January 18th, and was presided over by the Rev. Father Richards, pastor in charge. An excellent entertainment was given by the pupils on the occasion, consisting of choruses, tambourine drill, Highland dance, hornpipe, and other pleasing items by the girls, and dumb-bell drill, etc., by the .boys. The efforts of the children to please their friends and visitors were fully appreciated, whilst their general demeanor and evident advancement in the acquisition of useful knowledge reflected the highest oredit on their painstaking teacher, Miss MoLaohlan, In his examination report the Inspector, Mr, Baldwin,

gives great credit to Mies McLachlan for her industry and perseTeranoe in producing such good results single handed, the subject of arithmetic in all the classes being, the inspector writes, unusually good. With Buch an energetic priest as the Rev. Father Richards at the head of affairs, the Catholics of the wide district centering in Lincoln may rest assured that their interests will be well looked after and their parochial affairs materially advanced.
