(From our own correspondent.) May 28. The Marist Brothers’ Old Boys’ Association held a euchre party and dance in the Victoria Hall on Tuesday the 22nd inst. in aid of the parish funds. The function was a great success in every' way, and the energetic secretary (Mr. E. Fogarty) deserves to bo congratulated pn his efforts. The ladies’ committee, presided over by Mrs. A. Pasco, carried out their duties to the satisfaction of all. A very happy little function took place in St. Joseph’s schoolroom a short while back, when the pupils of St. Catherine’s. St. Joseph’s, and the Marist Brothers’ School gave a combined entertainment in honor of the silver jubilee of Sister Mary Anthony. The chief item was the very beautiful scene showing the trial of St. Agnes as portrayed in “Fabiola.” Miss M. Lough nan made a charming St. Agnes. The part of “Fabiola” was well sustained by Miss M. Gon ley, while Miss X. Loughnan fwas truly imperial as the despotic Emperor. Minor parts were well acted by Miss R. Lynch and Miss L. Hallamore. The wee ones sang and danced to the delight of all. A twelve-hand reel in which six of the boys took part was a pleasing item. Master A. Staunton sang “The Minstrel Boy” and “Mary,” and with Master G. Wyhrow gave a fine rendering of Denza’s “Nocturne.” The boys’ choir also contributed to the festivities. At the conclusion of the entertainment, Mr. T. J. O’Brien, a visitor from Melbourne, conveyed to the jubilarian the greetings of the children. He congratulated them on their performance which, he said, compared with Melbourne’s best. W
