Kennedy, chairman of trustees, speaking as to the collection of instalments, sa>'ct, the progress of the collection had been interrupted by Father Ainsworths departure for Europe and by the time of his return to the Colony, it was found that the enthusiasm had cooled somewhat and hence the receipts for the year were not as large as might be- expected. His Grace the Archbidhop ttated that there were many reasons to account for the falling off in the payment of subscriptions. There had been numerous calls on the parishioners throughout the archdiocese, besides which there was the great fall in the prioe of wool which had prevented many in the farming districts from fulfilling their promises. His Grace also informed the meeting that Father Ainsworth was now collecting in Weatport and the collecting there was proceeding satisfactorily. The meeting terminated with a vote of thanks to his Grace for presiding.
