Gisborne
(From our own correspondent.) March 28. The ceremonies - of . Holy Week and Easter were observed here with due solemnity. A large number approached the Holy Table on Holy . Thursday and Easter Sunday. Rev. Father Carran, of Ormond, preached sermons on the Passion on Good Friday, and on the Ressurection on Easter Sunday night. The music throughout was finely rendered by St. Mary’s Choir. The celebration in connection with St. Patrick’s Day eventuated on Easter Monday, the sports which were held on the Park Racecourse being an unprecedented success. A sum of over £IOO was taken at the gates, and the various events provided some good finishes. The concert in the evening attracted a large gathering, and was a great success. The children’s social on Tuesday evening, terminated what was probably the most successful St. Patrick’s Day celebrations held in Poverty Bay. Rev Father Lane, who was prime mover in the celebrations, is to be congratulated on the success of the various gatherings.
