A very successful euchre party was held in St. Joseph’s Hall on Thursday evening, there being a very large attendance. Prizes were won by Misses Tallis and Gebbie and Messrs. W. McTubbs and F. J. Shanley. Mr. J. Roche, as secretary, is to be congratulated on the success of the gathering. The funeral off the late Mr. M. P. McCulloch was largely attended. The deceased was a son of Mr. G. McCulloch, late of the local branch of the New Zealand Loan and Mercantile Agency Co., Ltd. Very Rev. Dean Holley officiated at St. Mary’s Church and also at the graveside. As the funeral procession left the church, the organist (Mrs. Lloyd) played the * Dead March ’ from * Saul.’ ■

The fortnightly meeting of St. Lawrence's (Women’s) Conference of the St. Vincent de Paul Society was held on September 2 in St. Mary’s Hall. Mrs. Lacey (vice-president) was in the chair, and there were also present Rev. Father Mahoney, Mrs. D. Cullinane,. Miss Cullinane, Miss Kennedy, Miss Aramburn, and 18 members. Reports were received from the members appointed to visit the sick at their homes, the hospital, and the Jubilee Home. It was decided to commence the sewing meetings immediately, and in future to have them on every meeting night after the usual business had been transacted.
