BISHOP VALTORTA,
VISIT TO ST. JOSEPH'S..
COLLEGE.
The new Vicar Apostolle, Bishop Valtorta, made" yesterday what tony be the first of a round of introductory visits, when he called at St. Joseph's College. The new Blahop arrived at 3 p.m., necom panied by his two sponsors, Messrs. Choa Po-sien and Harry Dixon, as well as by priests of the Mission and other friends.
The party was received by the "Brother Director, Bro. Alimar and taken on a tour of the now and spacious part of the building."
Upon catering" the hall, the Bishop was greeted with loud and hoarty cheers from the 700 pupils and masters assembled. His Lord ship was then entertained. The School choir sang the Papal hymn and then two numbers from Russin and Verdi. Two of the boys, Dillon and Roza, then gave an Italian duct in very pleasing manner, Two recitations were given also, the enunciation being excellent. For the short programme kreat credit is due to Brother Reganti, who also accompanied at the piano.
At the conclusion of the concert an address from the pupils was read and a lovely basket of flowers presented to the Bishop. The address declared that they pected the Bishop and loved the
man."
