(From our own correspondent.) Bro. W. R. Setter (secretary) will represent the local Hibernian Society at the triennial meeting at Napier next month. The fortnightly meeting of the Hibernian Society was held on the 11th instant, when a fair number of members was present. Three candidates were initiated. Some interest was caused by the election of two representatives for the parish committee of the Catholic Federation, which was decided by ballot, and resulted in Bros. A. Me William and W. R. Setter being elected. Bro. M. D. Kenny has left Wanganui to take up farming in the far north at Whangarei. He states there is no branch of the Hibernian Society there at present, but hopes are entertained that one will be established there in the near future. • The following pupils of the Sisters of St. Joseph, Sacred Heart Convent, were successful at the theoretical examination in connection with Trinity College, held here in December-.—lntermediate division.—Kathleen Delahunty, 60.
