Hokitika

(From our own correspondent.) The annual meeting of the Catholic Club was held in the club rooms, the president, Air. A. Warren, presiding over a good attendance of members. The annual report and balance sheet were read and confirmed. and showed the club to be in a very sound position, considering that it is only the second year of its operations. At the beginning of the year the club was in debt to the extent of about £9O, and it has now reduced its indebtedness to £l3, while the expenditure during the year totalled £122, the receipts amounting to £l9B. The election of officers resulted as follows; —Catron, Rev. Father Clancy; president, Mr. B. Cox; vice-president, Mr. C. Ward; secretary, Mr. T. Green; treasurer, Mr. G. Dee; librarian, Mr. N. Warren; committee, Messrs. J. Downey, J. llanrahaii, W. O’Donnell, L. Divan, A. McCarthy, G. Wonnington, J. Cahill, and L. Kirwan. A hearty vote of thanks was accorded to the outgoing officers for their services during the past year, and also the Rev. Father Clancy for his very able assistance. Mr. Warren (ex-president), in acknowledging the vote of thanks, expressed regret at his inability to continue taking an active part in the management of the club, but wished the new officers every success in the discharge of their duties. A very enthusiastic meeting was then brought to a close with a hearty vote of thanks to the chairman. The annual grand Irish national concert was held in the Princess Theatre on Thursday evening, March 16, and proved a decided success. Much credit is due to Rev. Father Clancy and also to the secretary, Air. Jas. Downey, for the splendid programme submitted, which was undoubtedly one of the best placed before a Hokitika audience for many years. The financial result of the concert was very satisfactory, the proceeds being devoted to the upkeep of the schools.
