ST. PATRICK'S DAY.

It has always been customary in Auckland to observe the 17th of March as a partial holiday.in honour of the patron saint oflre land. The observance this year was more general than in the past, the majority of the larger business places in town being closed during the afternoon. Tho Domain was the chief holiday resort, a fete and sports taking place in one portion, and several cricket matches proceeding in another. Numbers of people went out of town for the purpose of witness ing the Henderson's Mill races ; while the ferry steamers were fairly patron ised, and water excursions appeared popu lar. Better weather could not have been desired on the occasion. The morning broke clear and bright, and during the day a light southerly breeze tempered the heat, which would otherwise have heen oppres sive.

HIBERNIAN CELEBRATION.

Catholic Schools Fete,

The event which appeared to excite the greatest amount of interest was the Hiber- ai man celebration in the Domain. St. Patrick's P Day is lookedforwardtoby thechildrenof the P Roman Catholic schools as the occasion of a an annual fete in the pleasures of which they have all the option of participating. It may therefore be naturally assumed that £ good weather was eagerly hoped or by the children, and in this respect they were mot in the slightest degree disappointed, i'rom a comparatively early hour in the fno°ning the neighbourhood of Mr D.gnan's paddock in Hobson-streot presented a most A animated appearance. Neatly - dressed so children, decorated with a profusion of green ribbon, were assembling in all directions, »« banner* were being unfurled, parents were "' placing their offspring under the charge of I?1 those who were to take care of them, while J» the constant orrival of contingents from the suburbs heightened the appearance of " bustle and activity. It was fully ten " o'clock before all was ready for a start, and " with the display of a great deal of patience '" and good humour, the procession started off ",' in the following order:—Garrison Band, under bandmaster A. Morris. The ™ orphans from the Ponsonby school to « the number of 80 under the charge of Mrs *■ Gregory. The neat and attractive appear- " /ince of these children reflected very con- ™ alterable credit upon the Sisters of Mercy. "; They were followed by the children attend- * ■ ing the Ponsonby schools, numbering 220, "' the girU being under the charge of Misses • McCormick find Harding, and the boys "" under Messrs E, Miller and RobertMahonoy. *' This school was preceded by a handsome P now banner worked by the Sisters of Mercy. V" The design was a Celtic cross in the centre, " with the word? "Faith of Our Fathers a'' Living Still" above and beneath. ™ Following the Pomonby children came "<■ the Bt, Patrick's Convent Schools. The "X cirls from this school »m;;bsred 600. and *' were under the charge of Miss X, Sheehan " (Lady President), and Mrs Ha?k>ns, Miss Lonergan, Miss O'H&re. Miss &irby, Mrs £ O'Brien, Miw Q'Keill, Miss Thomas, Miss ; " Jennings, Miss Mellhows, and other young * lady assistants. St. Patrick's toys were a represented by about 300 pupils, undej- the V> charge of Mr Peter Dignan (President) and !* *t« members of the Christian Doctrine "?. ■Society, Amalgamated with these schools » was a essrfiugent of 25 girls and 0 boys who J .catfie from J&rth Shore by the 9 o clock boat, W& were met sm the wharf by Mr O'Regan, » and escorted to tUs rendezvous in Hobson- * •street. Sheehan's band was the next in V order, and St. Benedict's School followed. °r There were about 300 girls and 2.10 boys in "" thin contingent, R*v. Cutlibert Downey "" being in charge, assisted by members ol * (the Christian Doctrine Socioty and hvly teachers. The procession proceeded in .. jfcbis order (.a the foot of Grafton Road, ©•hare it was met by the Parnell school, Which took the lead, and headed the ™ procession iuto tlw Domain. About 350 *" children formed the addition from Parnell, V h the school being ftnder the care of Fynes, Mr Fife, superintendent L and.» staff of teachers. Tfcey Jfo4 assembled ™ at 10 o'clock, and proceeded by way of Alton Rowl, Symonds-street, and tjr#fton : , Hoad. It may be mentioned that tborsjw- . imUtivee of .the clergy who were present Ufa./ Fathers W4*V McDonald and «■ Lenihan, tow St. Patrick's, Monsignor ° Fynes, from Paroell, and Father Downey, V\ fern Newton, were roost attentive to the ehildnni throughout tits day., and did >"J all in their power to ussjat towards the geneifftJ enjoyment. 'Busses w^e " provided toe the conveyance of the very i Imall scholars to the Domain, with the ob- »■» iect of avoiding tiw fatigue which would JieeesasriJy have hoen tip result of such a lomrwaUj. Soon after the«? arrival in the is Coroain, thev&rwus schools gathered round pc their raspectiyo tents, and luncheon was M discussed. Mr D*l)e# supplied the cat- AI ables for Bt, Patrick's, tlw demands of v winch were gwwtest in tb» respect, ha Buns and sandwifch.es, tea, to., P<> were distributed by jth* the teachers w< ad libitum, and tho children then dispersed' Tl in eeweeh of amusemeot. Tb»nk* pa the M fcindness t»f their, teachers, they had no lo« reason to .complain of dulness, games of all *o kinds befng indulged m during the after- th noon. An unfortunate altercation occurred of in the neighbourhood of tha Parnell School an tent.

EXTENSIVE CONFLAGRATION AT PONSONBY.

£3,000 Worth of Property Destroyed.

Another destructive fire occurred at Pon sonby early on Sunday morning, when several houses were burned to the ground and other buildings considerably damaged. Shortly before seven o'clock Mr James Maxwell, dairyman of Jervois Boad, ob served smoke rising from the roof of a two-storied shop belonging to Mr W, G. Allen, of Clarence-street. At this time there was no fire visible, but very soon flames came through the roof, Maxwell immediately gave the alarm, and Constable Collis speedily appeared on the scene, shortly followed by Sergt. White, Constables Eernardand Mitchell, and DetectiveTwohey. The firebell was rung, and a large crowd collected. The speedy progress made by the fire placed several adjoining housesinimminentdanger.andtheoccupants who had not been previously aroused were made aware of their perilous position. Mr David Hyauiason, ironmonger, who occupied one of the buildings, was awakened by a loud knocking at his windows and door, accom panied by cries of "Fire!" He immediately partially dressed, and then found that his wife, brother, and children had also been alarmed. Tho children left tho house in their nightdresses, and wore removed to a neighbour's, while Mr Hyaualson'i brother, being an invalid, was also removed and kindly received at the residence of Mr G. \V. Owen. Mr Hyuaison's building soon caught fire, and a cottage bolonging to Mr Allen and occupiod by Mr E. L. Smith, situated on tho opposite side of tho shops where the fire originated, also ignited. The occupants, assisted by many willing friends, made great effort to savo tho f.urniture and effects, and they succeeded iii removing many useful articles. The fire all thjs time »:as causjng great destruction. Although there was a hosp-reel at tho station-house near tb.o Ponsonby HalJ, it was not secured for some considerable time. It appears that Mr Stanford, pro prietor of the ponsonby Hotel, had charge of tho key, and had instructions togiye jt to nobody excepta member of th.oFirpßrjgado, and thus a sorious delay wns caused, Tho Fire Brigade, under Superintendent Hughes, appeared upon the scene as early cm could bo expected, considering the distance they had to travel from town, but then Allen's two shops, Hyauaison's pre mises, one of Allen's cottages, Alton's work shop and stable, were so far gone that no hope was entertained of saving them. Another cottage belonging to Allen, and a cottage bolonging to Mr Gifford, and oc cupiod by Mr Hazard, had also caught fire. According to instructions from Superin tendent Hughes, two leads of hose were directed on the eastern side of the burning buildjngs to prevent tho fire spreading in that direction, and another load was got on the -ffd^fif "dp to check its progress there. A le%d jyaa also takon from Proepeet-streot, and soon fIJJ danger of the fjro appeared at an end. Allen's second cottage waa partially burned, and Mr GiflbrdV cottage completely gutted, but here tho fire had beon subdued, and all rfanger was speedily at an end.

prigln of the Fire.

The origin of th,e fir.o 19 a mystery, but i,t is supposed that ft JJ'ris caused by SOW persons sleeping in the sh.°B b<?J.onging t# Mr Allen. This was a building wl»ch Mr Allen intended to open as a drapery store in a few days. The contractor (Mr Olive) had almost completed his work there, tho painters and paperhangers having been at work during the latter part of the week. i The workmen left at noon on Saturday, and i\<[r Oljve yeinajned until4.3o p.m. He then locked the doors, sooared the windows, and (took his departure. He says tho place wna thoroughly clean and free fjrom rubbish of ,ey,ery description both i;isid,o and out, 9#d ho Relieves that the fire must have origis'a^ >outsjde, and under the floor of the building, l{y 3. Bishop, who occupied one of the cottage 3 was considerably damaged, states that ha was up about ten minutes before tho alarm of rire was given. Us was quite close to tho storo where tho fire brokfr pijt, but did not notice tho least sign of fire. He returned to bedagain, but was almost immediately called out, andfoundtheback ql Allen's nowshopoo 1 fire. It would appear tl>at some trampTias been in the habit of sleeping on the pre mises Mr Harold Griffiths sayg that on the mQvmiijg of the 11th inst. he passed Allen's empty shop and heard some , body snoring on tb,e ground flq»v, 0.9 that this will probably giv.e som.o cbjo fco tl,s I cause of tha outbreak. Insurances. Allen's two shops and two cottages wore insured jn the South British for £#00, and , in the New for £400. Hjs work shop and stable were u,iir,snrcd. Hyauai -1 son's shop was insured for £27jJ fO jtUo . Royal, and £100 ?« fee National, 'tho 1 furniture for £100, ■ and stock tor , £100, both in the Royal. Mr Bishop, AHen J<3" tenant, had his furniture -in • sured "for £100 in the Imperial, but i Mj? Smith was wholly uninsured. . Mr i Gifford'g cottage was insured for £275 m .j the Sou,th British; his loss he estimates at l( from £50 to £100. tffs tenant, Mr )' Hazard, ' had his1 furniture fesurpd for £100 in the Imperial, hjs lossa* . being only partial.
