PRESENTATION TO FATHER W. MAHONEY.

At the conclusion of tho 11 o'clock Mass at St. Patrick's Cathedral yesterday morning, Father William Mahoney (second son of Mr E. Mahoney) was presented by a number of his old schoolmates with an address (illuminated by Mr Slator) and a handsome stole (worked by the Sisters of Mercy). The young men who were associated in making the presentation occupied seats, alonf with their former taacher, Mr B. Hamill, in front of the altar. Mr E. F. Garlick read the address, which was as

follows ;—

To the Rev. Father William Mahoney, Priest of tho Diocese of Auckland, N.Z.: Rev. and Dear Father,—lt is with feelings of ■ jry grout pleasure that we, a number of your old school fellows, have assembled together today to pro sent you the accompanying gift as a umall token of ouv affection and esteem, on the occasion of your arrival in your native elty after a lengthened sojourn in tho old country as a student for the sacred ministry. The reasons which have prompted us to pay you this mark of respect and 09teem are manifold. As the m\t nativo of Auckland who has beeu raised to the priesthood, we feel that you have been singu larly privileged, and that to you has bean ac corded an honour of which any young colonial might well feel proud. As a priest of God's Holy Church, we greet you with revorontial respect, mindful of the high and holy oiilca of the priesthood, which co operates in a special manner with our blessed Lord Himself in the work of the salvation of mankind. "He that h aretli you, heareth Mo, and lie that desplseth you deapiseth Me." But when, rev, and doar Father, while recognlsirg your sacred character as a priest, we behold in you also a companion of our boy hood's days, and a sharer in those school day sports, which your prosence here to-day brings to our recollection, we feel in a sense redoubled joy. It ia at all times a source of gratification when the companions of youth meet together in lifter years with some little experience of tho battle of life; but when, as in our case, wo meet with ono of our number whom God has cho en as a] minister of His Grace, and whoso life is to bo spent in tho work of the sanctiiica tionof souls, our joy is great indeed. Wo also know that you tako an aetivo interest in tho wolfaro of our native city, and tho many signs of progress which you have doubtless noticed slnco your return .alter an absence of somoleight or nine years, must have beon gratifying. Praying that God may long spare you to wear our littlo gift in tho exercise of tho sacred ministry, and that we may have tho benefit of. your prayers in tho holy sacrifice of tho Moss, we remain, with respect and afleotion—Your old schoolmates.

Mr M. J. Sheahan then presented the stole, which was of white satin, lined with cardinal satin. Upon it was worked in crowel pink rosebuds, with shaded leaves, surroundod by spangles. There were also two Maltese crosses, worked in spangles, at the bottom, with a small plain cross at the top, bound with broad rich gold lace, and the bottom tipped witli superb gold fringe, connected with two cold cords and tassels.

Father Mahoney acknowledged the pre sentation in a few well-chosen remarks. Ho appreciated the sentiments of tho donors all tho more since he know thorn to be tho out* como of that warm friendship which existed among them all in schoolboy days, and which, please God, would continue to oxiat; and, moreover, since thoir valuable gift was the result of spontaneous generosity, Ho should prize it all the more on that account. The honour of being the first New Zealand bora priest was a chance ono; but that fact would only tend to make him the more proud of liis native country, and especially of Auckland, whoso rapid growth during the nine years of his absence had been one of the greatest sources of pride and pleasure to him since his return. Ho hoped to wear tho stole not only as a mark of their esteem, -but as the vestment itself in a mystical sense implied a yoke, so should it ever be to him a yoke of his obligation to render some recompense for tho Kindness he had experienced at the hands of his old schoolmates.

The Very Rev. Fatiier W, McDonald also delivered a short address. .

Father Mahoney then gave hi 3 blessing, and the ceremony ended. The 11 o'clock Mass was celebrated by Father Mahoney, and an "O Salutaris" was sung in first-claes stylo by Father Lenihan.

THE DROWNING CASE

The bodies of tho man. and two boys who wore drowned in tho harbour on Saturday morning wore recovered on Sabbath morn ing by Messrs Powell, Bright, and Weathor stono. On the beach near where the unfor tunate accident took place tho body of tho boy Thomas Powell was first found, whilo tho body of Daniels was met with two hundred yards further on, and that of Geerge Powell a short distance off. The bodies, which had evidently been left by the re coiing tide, ■nere brought over to tho morgv.o.

Inquest on the Bodies.

An inquest was commenced this after noon at Gleeson's Hotel at 2.30 on the bodies of Thomas and George Powell (brothers) and John Daniels.
