Martinborough

The Catholics of Martinborough are making a laudable endeavor to raise sufficient funds to rebuild their church, which was destroyed by lire some three years ago (says the Martinborovgh Star). Towards this end several concerts and entertainments of various kinds have taken place, and an art union is now being promoted. One of the brightest and best of those popular entertainments for children took place recently, when the annual children’s fancy dress social was held in the Town Hall (says the Star). This year the' Catholic church committee hold the function as an aid to the church rebuilding fund, and one and all may be well pleased at the success financially and otherwise, which has rewarded their efforts. It was indeed ’ a bright and happy scene which greeted the onlooker from the gallery, the children’s costumes this year being much better than those of previous occasions, and were eloquent of the attention bestowed on them both for originality and prettiness. The task of judging for the various prizes was very difficult, and was entrusted to Miss K. Martin, whose decisions met with general approbation.
