(From our own correspondent.) : l September 23. On a recent Sunday afternoon the young ladies of the Christian Doctrine class were entertained by the convent boarders, , when a choice musical programme,, consisting of vocal and instrumental items, -was submitted. Afternoon tea was dispensed and much appreciated. The Young Men's Literary Society held their final meeting for the season on Tuesday last. After concluding the business of the evening, it was decided to discontinue the gathering during the summer months. The members expressed themselves as greatly pleased with the session just concluded, and before dispersing passed a hearty vote of thanks to the office-bearers. The Celtic Football Club wound up its first season on Friday night, in St. John's Hall, Mr. N. D. Mangos in the chair. The secretary read a report of the season's play, showing that the new club more than held its own. The treasurer made the rather pleasant announcement that the club had ' over £11 in hand. The members were enthusiastic over the past season, and intend next year to run at least two teams. The second general meeting of the Catholic Young Men's Society was held in the Foresters' Hall on Monday evening. There was a good attendance, Mr. Conlan occupying the chaiT. A good deal of routine business was gone through, and the sum of £7 was subscribed in the hall for the building fund. It was decided that the members, of the committee should attend the different Masses every Sunday morning, to afford everybody, particularly the young men who had not attended the meetings, an opportunity to contribute.
