DIOCESE OF AUCKLAND

(By Telegraph from our own correspondent.) May 1. Letters received from Rev. Father Furlong state that he had a pleasant trip as far as Suva. Rev. Father Quealy, of Palmerston North, is at present visiting Auckland. He celebrated Mass at the Mater Hospital on Sunday. Rev. Father Cahiil returned from his trip south last week. His many friends were pleased to find him so greatly improved in health. The children's concert, which took place at Huntly on Friday night, was a most pronounced success, thanks in a great measure to the untiring efforts of Mr*. Daily, Mrs. Dunne, and Miss Fairweather. His Lordship the Bishop has purchased four acres of land in a central position in Mount Eden borough. The district is growing, and in a short space of time there will be a flourishing parish there. The Coronation bazaar is now in its third and last week, and will be brought to a close on next Saturday evening. Unseasonable weather interfered with the attendance during the first, week, but since then the patronage and business have been excellent. The following clerical changes were made in the city parishes last week: —Rev. Father Wright, who had been in charge of Huntly during the absence of Rev. Father Cahiil resumed his duties at the Cathedral; Rev. Father O'Farrell, who, since his arrival from Ireland, had been at theCathedral, was appointed assistant to Rev. Father Edge at Ponsonby, while Rev. Father Finn took up duties at St. Benedict's; Rev. Father Brennan left last Thursday morning for the newly-formed parish of Te Kuiti, of which he has been appointed pastor. His friends at St. Benedict's farewelled him on Wednesday night.
