HOKITIKA.

, (From the club correspondent.) The social under the auspices of the Catholic Men’s Club was held on last Wednesday evening, and, despite the inclemency of the weather, proved to be very successful. The hall was very tastefully decorated for the occasion, reflecting great credit on those responsible, viz., Messrs. T. Green and L. Dwan. The ladies’ committee kindly provided refreshments. The billiard tournament now in progress is causing great interest. Altogether about thirty members entered and as the first round is now over speculation is now rife as to the ultimate winner. A meeting of parishioners was held in the club rooms a few weeks ago to discuss the advisability of the formation of a branch of the H.A.C.B. Society here. Rev. Father Clancy occupied the chair, and briefly outlined his reason for calling the meeting. Mr. B. Cox was elected secretary pro tern, and about twenty of those present signified their intention of joining. The meeting decided to form a branch, the secretary being instructed to apply for the usual dispensation in this connection. The fortnightly euchre tournaments which were carried on so successfully last winter will commence this season on next Wednesday week, May 10.
