DIOCESE OF DUNEDIN

At a social gathering of the Dunedin Fire Brigade last week advantage was taken of the occasion to present an address to Deputy Superintendent Salmon on his attainment of that position. The presentation was made by Superintendent Mitchell in very eulogistic terms. He referred to the length of time served by Mr. Salmon in fire brigade work, as he and the speaker were associated years ago at Naseby. The addr.ess was a very hand-

some piece of work, and was executed by Fireman R. Duncan.

The bazaar and sale of work in aid of the Dominican Convent building fund was opened in St. Patrick's Schoolroom on Friday, when there was a good attendance of the public (says the Tuapeka Times). There was nothing in the nature of an official ceremony, the ladies merely getting to work as promptly as possible in effecting sales. The arrangement and decoration of the room left very little to be desired, the trimmings of the various stalls and the greenery judiciously placed in odd corners helping 'in the making of an attractive scene. The stalls, of which there were five, were presided over as follow : — Handkerchiefs, etc., Misses Alice Kelleher and Moody; sweets, Miss Cissy Brosnan,assisted by Misses Zetta Hart and Letilia Higgins ; fancy goods, Misses Mills, assisted by Misses Colgan, Fahey, and Higgins, and' Messrs. T. Hunt and M.^ Fahey ; fancy goods No. 2, Mrs. H. Hart and Miss Kelleher, assisted by Miss Airey and Miss Hannah Moody ; produce stall, Miss Jean Fahey. The refreshments were under the control of the Misses Hart, assisted by Misses Kelleher, Higgins, and M. Roughan. Needless to say, a brisk business was done during the afternoon and evening,, while the various side shows and competitions of one kincr~and another provided no end of amusement and excitement.
