A playground, equipped with gym
nastic apparatus as are the citys pup
lie fairgrounds will be in readiness
for the boys of Immaculate Concep-
ton school by the time studies are re
sumed in September. instead OF sell
ing the tract across the street from tne
school on Logan avenue, Father H L..
McMenamin has decided to convert IL
into an up-to-date playground. There
is a fifty-foot frontage on Logan, ana
the lots extend back to the alley, a dls-
tance of 125 feet All sorts of devices
for out-of-door amusement will be in
stalled in the way of trapeze bars,
turning poles, etc The priests are en-
thusiastic over the plans, as the linn
tied yard space has given the pupllS
little opportunity for play.
Formerly the whole block opposite
the school house was used by them for
baseball but the land has gradually
been sold until the boys have been
crowded out.
Twenty-Five little children received
their first holy communion last sun
DAY morning at the hands of Father
M. w. Donovan in the Mount Carmel
school hall The temporary chapel
looked very attractive with its wealth
of fragrant flowers. The children's
mass was at o'clock, but it was after
the 10 o'clock mass that Bishop n. G.
Matz gave confirmation. This is the
first time in some years that the sac
rament has been administered in st.
Patrick's parish.

the retreat for the clergy of the dio-
cese last week at the st. Thomas sem
mary, preached at the 9:45 and 1880

Philadelphia last week to consult with

Bishop Matz has not yet announced |
what changes he will make in Colo
rado pastorates AS a rule, the an
nOuncements are made at the close of
the annual retreat. 1t is understood
that Delta, Las Animas and Rocky
Ford, which have been mission sta
tions heretofore, will have their own
resident pastors when the bishop re-
arranges affairs. All three towns are
growing so rapidly that the support of
a Catholic church is assured.

the gardens, to have in readiness by
that time the great spectacular attrac-
ton depicting the battle of the Mon
itOr and the Merrimac, that the guests
