DIOCESE OF DUNEDIN

—— 11 - The Christian Brothers’ School re-opened after the Easter holidays on Monday. The annual meeting of St. Joseph’s Catholic Men’s Club takes place in St. Joseph’s Hall on Monday week. During the absence of ids Lordship' Bishop Verdon at the Hot Springs the Right Rev. Mgr. Mackay, Y.G., will attend to any diocesan business. Owing to an oversight, the Sacred Heart Convents at Timaru and Wellington were omitted from the list of exhibitors at the A.M.D.G. Guild exhibition on Holy Thursday, Constable Power, who has been in charge of the Morninjton district for the past 16 years, has feund it necessary, on account of ill-health, to resign from tho police force, and retires on superannuation. Constable Power joined the force in Wellington, and came on at once to Dunedin. Ho was only four or five years here when he was placed in charge of a station, and has been in charge of one ever since. Prior to going to Mornington bo was at Gjeen Island for eight years, and then at Caversharn for five years. The retiring constable has served in tho police force for 33 years. The annual meeting of St. Joseph’s Glee Club was held in St. Joseph’s Hall on Tuesday evening, when there was a large attendance. The report showed a satisfactory season’s work, and from the enthusiastic nature of the meeting it is anticipated that the coming season will be highly successful. The election of office-bearers for the ensuing year resulted as follows: —Patron, Rev. Father Coffey, Adm.; conductor, Mr. T. Dechan; accompanist, Mr. nos. Swanson; secretary, Air. Jos. Swanson; the committee to consist of the foregoing, and Messrs.*E. W. Spain, J. Flynn, and L. Goughian. During the evening special votes of thanks were accorded to Messrs. Dechan and Holey for the interest taken in the club since its inception. The members of the Dunedin and St. Joseph’s Harrier Clubs held a combined run from Wakari on Saturday. Notwithstanding the very unfavorable weather, each cf Lire two clubs turned out a very satisfactory muster, the Dunedin with 13 and St. Joseph’s with 10. Messrs. P. Romerill and H. McLaughlin (representing the Dunedin Club) and James Hughes (the St. Joseph's Club) took charge of the paper, and laid a very satisfactory trail. Commencing in Helensburgh road, the trail led in tho direction of lower Flagstaff, over a big stretch of cross-country to the power station. From here the read was followed till home was reached. Air. V. Hawke, representative of the Canterbury Harrier Club, ran with the combined clubs.
