At the conclusion of the discourse, he blessed and distributed the medals, and while congratulating the new members ' urged them to be faithful to the rule of the confraternity. The anniversary social of the Auckland branch of the Hibernian Society, held on last Monday evening in the Hibernian Hall, was a pronounced success. The district officers in regalia were present, and a large number of visitors. A flashlight picture of the whole group was successfully taken. Sister Kane and her assistant worked assiduously throughout the evening, and to them much of the success must be attributed. Rev. Fathers Edge and Golden were present.
