DIOCESE OF DUNEDIN

The annual Peter's Pence collection will be taken up on Sunday at St. Joseph's Cathedral and suburban churches. ■"'"..'. At the Dunedin Competitions on Saturday evening, three teams from the Christian Brothers' School competed in the Indian club-swinging item for boys under 15 years. The following was the result:—Christian Brothers' School, No. 1 (95 marks), 1 ; Christian Brothers' School, No. 2 (88 marks), 2; Christian Brothers' School, No. 3 (76 marks), 3. The judges were Messrs. S. M. Park and W". Matthews. The exhibition proved very interesting, and the work of the. boys was neat and regular, and greatly admired. At the weekly practice of St. Joseph's Cathedral ..Choir, occasion was taken to present Mrs. Fraher with a small token expressive of the esteem of members and their good wishes upon her departure from Dunedin. Rev. Father Coffey, Adm., in making the presentation, stated that Mrs. Praher's connection with the choir dated from the termination of her schooldays, and her services had been most valuable. Others speakers also paid a tribute to Mrs. Fraher's talents as a vocalist and expressed their regret at her departure. Mrs. 'Fraher is gifted with a soprano voice of, beautiful -quality, and her assistance in the rendering of the . music of the Mass and Vespers will be greatly missed by the choir, which can ill afford to lose such a talented and painstaking member. As the date of the opening of the Christian Brothers' School bazaar draws nigh interest in the fair increases, and stall-holders and their assistants are "working with renewed vigor to provide the necessary furnishings. From all accounts, the goods on exhibition, both as regards quality and quantity, will easily be a record for Dunedin. The stalls have now been named, and allotted as follow:——Mrs. "Marlow and Children of Mary (South Dunedin); Great Britain Mesdames Hungerford, Rossbotham, and 'Lynch (North-east Valley); Italy— C. A. Shiel (St. Clair, Roslyn, etc.) ; Spain Mesdames Sweeney and Duffy (city); America Mrs. Jackson and St. Vincent de Paul Society (city) ; India— Rodgers and Children of Mary (city).
