educational interests of Catholics in
England do not suffer.

taries, including several Canadian and
American clergymen. Though held in
the midst of the election excitement.
politics were carefully avoided and the
proceedings were marked by uneXpect-
ed harmony. The spectacle Of Mr.. John
Kensit, the anti-Ritualist agitator,
