The Hibernians, who will wear their regalia on the occasion, are to assemble at St. Patrick's Schoolroom and march in a body to the Basilica. On Saturday fifty children from St. Vincent de Paul's Orphanage journeyed to the residence of Mrs. W. J. Shiel, Forbury, where a most enjoyable day wag spent. Nothing that could contribute towards making the outing a memorable one for the little people had been left undone by their kind hostess, whose thoughtful charity is gratefully appreciated by the Sisters of Mercy in charge of the institution, whilst her generous hospitality will long be remembered by the children who were her guests.

Arrangements arc well advanced for the national concert to be given next Monday night in His Majesty's Theatre, in celebration of St. Patrick's Day. An exceptionally fine programme will be contributed to by a number of leading artists, who may be relied upon by patrons to render gems of Irish music in a manner that will appeal to the national sentiment. The proceeds of the concert are to be devoted to the fund now being established to provide the Christian Brothers with a new and much-needed residence, a worthy object that should have the support of every Catholic in the district. His Majesty's Theatre may, therefore, be expected to be filled to overflowing on Monday night.
