up to His Lordship's house and sang
an English song to him, also most
affecting native song that they had
composed for him; they were beauti-
fully rendered. In the afternoon he
was invited to dinner, which was
laid in the school-room, as the room
was still decorated. On Tuesday
morning His Lordship confirmed 13
persons and at 8 a. m. His Lordship
and the Rev. Fathers were driven to
the residence of Mrs. F. H. Haysel-
den where they were invited to
breakfast by that lady. At 10 a. m.
an entertainment was given by the
children of the Catholic school un-
der the charge of Miss Maggie
Doherty. AS His Lordship entered all
present arose and the children sang,
We're the school that's gay and hap
py. Following is the program:

The days of the week were repre-
sented by z girls, Monday appeared
first carrying a washboard, Tuesday
followed with an iron. Wednesday
with a rolling pin, Thursday with
some mending, Friday with broom,
Saturday with bucket and Sunday
walked in holding in her hands an
open Bible saying, as she appeared,
that though she came in last she
would take her place at the head of
all her sisters; they then placed their
working utensils on the table, the
open Bible on top, and joining
hands they sang very pretty song
as they circled around the table.
The next dialogue was by 3 boys;
two of them could not decide about
the division of some cake, as one
had larger piece than the other.
They at length decided to go to the
judge, who was seated at a table
with spectacles on his nose and a
pair of scales on the table, he placed
the pieces of cake on the scales and
as he could not decide how to divide
them equally he thought the best
way would be to take little off each
piece and finally ended the case by
eating it all.
An address was delivered by little
boy which was responded to by His
Lordship in very tender terms, thank
ing the teacher and children fol
their expressions of goodwill to
wards him and telling the children
he would not tire to listen to then
all day. AS the Bishop was leaving the
school-room the children sang the
hymn, Yes, Heaven is the prize.
In the evening the congregation
all turned out in full force to bic
farewell to their beloved Bishop
who though a stranger to a grea
many of them has endeared him
self to all by his gentle man
ners and loving winning ways
the smallest child dares to ap
proach His Lordship fearlessly. A
His Lordship and the Rev. Father
were walking along quietly, th
church choir stole along noiselessl,
and surprised His Lordship with
beautiful parting song. All presen
then bade him farewell, and thel
the native string band serenadet
him, their music was so sweet an,
