(From our own correspondent.)

August 28. The members of the Young Men's Club are, through the generosity of one of their number, holding a shooting picnic at Ran°;itata on Thursday, September 7. At a meeting held after last Mass on Sunday at Pleasant Point it was decided to organise a bazaar, to be ibeld during next March, for the puspose of raising funds for the erection of a Catholic school there. Wednesday next, August 30, being the anniversary of the 'death of the late Rev. Father Fauvel, a solemn Requiem Macs will bie celebrated in St. Joseph's, Temuka. A great number of priesits of the diocese are expected to be present. The Rev. Father Kerley announced on Sunday that a meeting of all those interested in the formation of a Hibernian Society would be held on next Tuesday night in the club rooms. It is to be hoped that there will be a largje number present, as such a society would do an immense amount of good in the parish. The usual weekly meeting of the Temtfka Catholic Young Men's Club was held on Tuesday evening last and was largely attended. The programme consisted of a debate on ' Town and country life.' Mr. J. Reilly championed the cause of the country, whilst the advocate of the noise and bustle of the city was Mr. P. Clarke. After a well contested debate, in which nearly every member present gave his views, the vote resulted in a win for the coumtry. A very successful entertainment was held in the Kcrrytown schoolroom on Thursday evening last for the purpose of raising funds for the erection of a cottage for the priest at that place. There was an excellent attonidamce, awl all the items were encored. The following contributed to the programme : Songs, Misses K. Daly, Beri, A. Story, Messrs.. Lingard, Davis, C. Healy ; vocal duet, Messrs. Denton ; instrumental items. Messrs. Kearsley, Coomb es ; recitations, Messrs. Murray, J. Moriarty, and step dances, Mr. Lynch. The entertainment concluded with a farce, which caused much amusement.
