Further Wellington activities Wellington has again demonstrated its sympathy with the above worthy cause. •To increase its already creditable donation, Mrs. J. J. Bourke held on Saturday last, an "at home" at her lovely residence, Lower Hutt. Glorious spring weather, and a variety of entertainments ensured a most pleasant and successful afternoon. Games of chance were well patronised —as were the various stalls, and the day ended with an auction at which the principal object for sale was a Beleek shell, donated by Mrs. Ernest Somerville, who has already shown such generosity to the cause. The shell fell to Mr. R. Dwyer (Empire Hotel). A great portion of the success of the gathering was due to the sympathy and assistance of the Sisters -of the Mission, Lower Hutt. Too much credit cannot be given to Mrs. Bourke and her sister for their zeal and energy—and to the ladies of the League, who rendered thorn such valuable assistance. The list of donations included in the final result is as follows:Very Rev. Dean Lane, £2 2s; Mr. P. Casey, £2 2s; Mrs. Dwan, £2; Mrs. O'Donovan, £1; Children Convent School, Lower Hutt, £1; Mrs. Redwood, £1; Mrs. Gibbs, 10s. Mrs. *T. Bourke forwards the following: —Rev. E. Sweeney, £3; Miss Healy, £3; Mrs. Hiley, £1; Brother Louis, £1; Mrs. Sidford, £2; Mr. P. Kennedy, £2 2s; Anonymous, £25; Father Griffin, £2; J. P. o.'Regan, £3 3s; tickets, £5. . •" " " , " '
