Alford presiding over Sick pay was a good attendance. passed for payment to Bros. B. Devitt and J. F. Kelleher. Disconcerting reports were received concerning the condition of Bro. Kelleher, which we sincerely hope will prove to be tinwar. anted. The members are anxiously awaiting a speedy and favourable report regarding this sterling old Hibernian. The election of officers was re sponsible for the return to the presidential chair, unopposed, of one of the most sincere occupants the branch has ver had in Bro. T. J. Alford. He is now a seasoned chairman, and his past terms of office as chief officer will stand him in good stead. Bro. D- J. CrBrien continues as vice-president; Bro. Sugrue, treasurer; Bro. B.
