Father Clancy acted as judge. The judge gave as the subject for the impromptu speech, that ' Conscience doth make cowards of us all.' After some interesting speeches, the Rev. Father Clancy'made the following awards: Mr. J. Hanrahan, 89 points; Mr. G. Wormington, 87; Mr. J. Downey, 85; Mr. A. McCarthy, 80. This results in Mr. G. Wormington upholding the honor of St. Mary's Club for the silver cup presented by Mr. D. J. Evans to be competed for by the winners of the three Lawrence medals, on Wednesday, the 22nd inst. The president complimented the winner on his success, and in the course of his remarks thanked Mr. Lawrence for the interest he had shown in the debating societies of Hokitika. Messrs Wormington, Dwan, Downey, and Hanrahan also made eulogistic references to the interest displayed by Mr. Lawrence in the intellectual welfare of the young men of the town.
