DIOCESE OF AUCKLAND

-(By Telegraph from our own correspondent.)

August 3. The examination of our schools by the Government inspectois is now proceeding.

Rev. Father Williams has been transferred to St. Benedict's from Wai hi.

The Marist Brothers Old Boys' Football team play against the Catholic Young Men's team at Wanganui and Napier at the end of this month. The local team is a fairly sound combination, and should render a good account of itself.

Several members of the visiting South Canterbury Football team are old pupils of the Marist Brothers, and were delighted to discover here two of their old teachers in Brothers George and Martin, whom they called upon. It was decided at a meeting of the executive of the Grand Dominion Fair and Art Union, held after V<sspers on Sunday night, Rev. Father Meagher presiding, to draw for the prizes on Wednesday evening, August 19, in- Si. Patrick's Convent School. Subsequently it was decided to hold the annual social on Wednesday, September 16.

v Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament took place on Sunday at the Cathedral from the last Mass until Vespers. Yesterday Father Meagher preached after Vespers/ on the Transfiguration of our Blessed Lord, before a very large congregation. There was a procession of the Blessed Sacrament, in which the Rev. Fathers Meagher, Murphy, Wright, the Marist Brothers, and confraternities took part. The choir, under Mr. Hiscocks, rendered the music appropriate to both morning- arid evening services. - b
