July 21. His Lordship Bishop Grimes, having concluded his ■visitation of the parish, left to-day for Gcraldme.

The Yen. Archdeacon De\oy informed the congregation at the last Mass on Sunday that Dean Binsfeld would replace Father Peoples' at Tcmukg, for a few months, or until it was possible to send a ysung priest to assist Father Kerley in the work of the district. The Archdeacon also pointed out the necessity of improvements to the presbytery, chiefly with regard to more accommodation for visiting priests. A large amount was already in hand for the work, and ihe hoped the matter would be started very soon. .Alt the concliusiort of the programme at the last weekly meeting; of the Catholic Chvb Mr. J. Moriarty asked Rev. Father Kerley to make a presentation t> one of the club's most active supporters who was abo>ut to leave the parish. The Rev. Father Kerley, in making the presentation, felt sure that he voiced the feelings of all present when he said how much he regretted Father Peoples' unavoidable departure. He would be greatly missed by the club, and jit would not be an easy thing to find another to fill his place. The chairman then presented Father Peoples with a handsome travelling case, suitably inscribed, and a beautiful rug of colonial manufacture. Eulogistic sipeeches were made by Messrs. Fitzgerald, Barry (2), Clarke, O'Halloran, Tarrant, M. Moriarty, Beri,
