Two priests of eminent qualities have just been chosen by the Holy See for the Bishoprics of Kerry and Killaloe. The venerable Archdeacon Mangan, P.P.. Kenmarc, who becomes Bishop of Kerry, is a man of immense vigour both intellectually and physically. As a student and as a priest his application to work has been incessant and remarkably close. The result was that he had a brilliant career in Maynooth. and that since he has been on the mission his energy has carried him from success to success. His appointment nictfMs a change in the administration of the diocese of Kerry. The late Bishop was a hard worker, but though a favor-, ite with the people, shrank from popular gatherings. The new Bishop is entirely a man of the people, and is thoroughly at home amongst the biggest possible crowd. He will undoubtedly make his mark in the history of the diocese. The Very Rev. M. Fogarty, the new Bishop of Killaloe, has' been for over a year vice president 'of Maynooth. His attainments are of the highest, and the honors he has won in the theological arena are many. A good number of the priests of the diocese who have enjoyed the advantage of having been under him as a professor hail his appointment . with special delight. The duties of the office he held as vice president of Maynooth have formed an excellent preparation for his administrative work in Killaloe. RACING BOATS BURNED. News has reached Belfast that while two valuable racing boats, the property of the Bann Rowing club were being conveyed by rail from Coleraine to Ports-down Ports-down to take part in Portadown regatta on Wednesday, they were fired, apparently by sparks from the engine, and completely destroyed.
