Wanganui

(From our own correspondent.)

. • November^. It is with regret that I have to record the death of Mr.Hugh O'Neill in the Jubilee Home.— R.l.P. ™lVl V ' F - D - G aftaney "and Mr. Wrn. Mahoney, popular members of St. Mary's Cluo, have been elected on the committee of the Wanganui Swimming Club.

Mr. Wm. McTubbs proved the winner in ■ the euchre tournament organised by St. Mary's Catholic Club. He received the splendid framed picture of New Zealand views, which was kindly donated to the club by Mr. F. G. Sykes.

A very pleasant evening was- spent in the Druids' Chambers on Friday, when St. Mary's Club met the_ Druids in a friendly game of euchre. Messrs Gafianey and Willis were the leaders of the respective teams. After a* most interesting game, the , latter proved the winners. Songs and recitations were given during the evening. . :

The members of the ladies' Sacred Heart Society, received Holy Communion on Sunday at St. Mary's., It being the first Sunday of the month., there was Ex- - position of the Blessed Sacrament at St.- Mary's from the last Mass until Vespers. During the afternoon a large number of the faithful visited "the church. After the sermon a procession of the Blessed Sacrament took, place, in which the confraternities of the Children of - Mary and Sacred Heart League took part.

The Wangp-nui Agricultural Association 'have every reason to be proud of their efforts in obtaining such a large number of entries for their show, which surpasses last year's total. They have undoubtedly established their right to claim the "Wanganui Show as the largest in the Dominion, notwithstanding the efforts of the- Palmerston and Canterbury kindred societies to hohi that distinction. The - total entries for live stock is 1970, against 1919 for last year. It is 700 ahead of this year's Palmerston total for live stock, and 200 above the Canterbury figures. Besides these there are 1316 entries in the home industries, sections, as against 1169 last year.
