FIR. Gleason. pastor of st. Johns par
ish, won the trip to Europe in the con-
test between himself and FIR Dolphin at
the fairs in their respective parishes. The
agreement was that the parish which
raised the smallest amount of money
should have to pay the expenses of the
pastor of the other parish to the old coun-
try. The contest was quite exciting and
very close, ST. Patrck's being only $40
behind St. Johns, the former collecting
S2,O9S12 and the latter s2,1O5.S2. The
members of ST. Patrick's subscribed a
sum sufficient to defray the expenses of
Fir Dolphin and so the two priests will
enjoy the trip together They will be
gone for two or three months
