(From Our Travelling Correspondent.) Definite steps are now being taken to bring the proposed St. Anne's Young Men's Club to a successful issue. A strong committee has been appointed to carry out thearrangements, and when the formal opening takes place it is estimated that there will be a membership of ninety at least.

Nearly 250 people assembled at the school here on last Friday evening, for the purpose of assisting at the first euchre party and social held tinder the auspices of the newlyformed St. Anne's Christian Doctrine Society. An energetic committee, consisting of the Misses "Webb (2), Evenson, Casey, O'Farrell, McCarthy, Segrief (2), Delaney, Marshall, with Miss Rose Segrief as secretary, worked hard to ensure the success of the gathering. Miss Von Maher won the lady's prize, Mr. Inkersill gentleman's. Amongst those present during the evening were Revs. Father Herring, Finnerty, and Hurley. The result of the evening's entertainment financially will leave the society with a good sum to purchase books and requisites for their proposed teachers' reference library.
