M. 8.0.8. CLUB, AUCKLAND

(From a correspondent.) April 26. the members of the club attended in large numbers at the men’s mission Communion at St. Patrick’s Cathedral yesterday. Speaking last evening before a crowded congregation, the missioner complimented the men of the different clubs and societies on their fine display of faith, and urged all ex-pupils of the Brothers to join the M. 8.0.8. Club. As I mentioned in my last notes, the concert company visited Tuakau on April 10. On arrival they were met by Rev. Father O’Hara, Messrs. McGahan, and Dromgool, members of the committee. The company were entertained at dinner by the committee, and then gave an excellent programme before a crowded house. The visitors are loud in their praise of the warm-hearted reception given them. The company attended the 9 o’clock Mass on Sunday, after which about 100 people left by two motor launches for a two hours’ trip up the Waikato River. About a mile past Mercer the party landed for lunch. The day being 'perfect, a very pleasant time was spent. At 4 o’clock a start was made for Tuakau, all agreeing that it was the pleasantest outing they had ever taken part in. In the evening the members sang the music at Benediction, Mr. Clarke being the organist. The visitors left luakau at 7 a.m. on Monday, and were farewelled by members of the committee. To Miss McGuire and Mr. Median (joint secretaries), the visitors expressed their heartfelt thanks for a most enjoyable week-end. On the following Wednesday, the company journeyed to Panmure, and gave a most successful entertainment in aid of the Sisters of Mercy. The ball was crowded, and a. very enjoyable time was spent by all.
