From our own correspondent.' May 26. The usual fortnightly meeting of the H.A.C.B. Society was held in St. Joseph's Hall on last Wednesday evening, Bro. D. Dwyer (president) occupying the

chair. The balance sheet for the quarter- ended March was read and adopted. The branch has now over one hundred members, its satisfactory progress being due to the energy of the officers. Two -new members were initiated. ' „ A very interesting account of his sojourn at the military camp, recently held. at Waverley, was given by the Rev. Father Moloney, S.M., at the meeting of the St. Vincent de Paul Society on last Monday evening. Words failed him, he said, to express his appreciation of the kindness shown him by the, military authorities, and to do justice to the fervor of the Catholic young men. - The most successful social ever held in the Aramoho School took place on Thursday evening, when fully 200 persons were present. The occasion was taken advantage of to formally open the new portion of the school. His Grace Archbishop O'Shea, who came specially from Feilding for the purpose, performed the ceremony. The Aramoho ladies provided a generous supply of light refreshments. At last Sunday night's meeting the following were appointed a social committee for the ensuing year: Mesdames Cameron, Lloyd, Pobar, Sussmilch, Koorey, Lonergan, Lebatt, Misses Cooper, Gagan, Meehan, McITardie, Roche, Shale, Cameron, Donnelly (treasurer), Cullinane (secretary), and Messrs. Dowdall, Redwood, Le Berre, Cronin, Koorey, Donovan, Foley (treasurer), and Jans (secretary). Tickets are now in circulation for the euchre party, which is to be held in the Druids' Hall oh June 10. As the net returns go to the St. Vincent de Paul Society, all should make an effort to ensure the success of the entertainment.
