The Marist Brothers' Old Boys have again scored a victory at football over the Napier High Sohool Old Boys, winning by 3 points to nil. tt T , he , ew Land Bill has been well received in Hawkes Bay. It will mean that within the next ten years 860,000 acres of the very best of' land - will be placed upon the market. Amongst other speakers at . the recent opening of the Western Spit Hall and Public Library was the Rev Father Bell. Emphasizing the truth of the saying that a little learning is a dangerous thing,' Father Bell went on to say that a sound knowledge of one good book, was far preferable to a rambling acquaintance with the works of many authors. Evidence of the growing popularity of the Napier Gatnolic Club was shown by the large attendance at last Wednesday night's meeting, St. Patrick's Hall being well filled. Rev. Father Goggan presided The musical programme was about the best yet submitted, vocal and instrumental items being given by Mes dames Halpin and Mansfield, Misses O'Donoghue Stuart and Scott, -and Messrs. O'Shannassy, Halpin, and O Connor.
