BOROUGH SCHOOL ANNUAL TREAT.

The annual treat in connection with the Borough Schools took place to day. The site Chosen was perhaps not the best - possible one for the purpose, but owing to the limited time at the disposal of thd’i Committee and the very few places under offer, the best had to be made of the kind action of the Saleyards Company in allowing their sheds and paddock to be used. About half-past eleven the children to the number of about 600 marched from the Borough School to the ground, where during the. day a number of games and sports were provided in which the children joined with great heartiness.. During the afternoon Captain Douglas and Lieutenant Dolman inspected three squads of various boys’ classes,and theevolutionswereon the whole very satisfactory. Shortly before 5 o’clock the prizes, which consisted of upwards of ninety handsome books and many other exceedingly pretty and useful articles, were distributed to the children who had succeeded in passing the examination with the highest number of marks, held last Thursday by the Revs Scott, Beattie, and Nixon. The Chairman, Mr Sealy. gave out the prizes, and in doing so added a few words of congratulation to the successful ones, and hoped the example would be emulated by those who had not taken prizes this year. Messrs Ward, Sealy, G. Andrews and 0. Reid, assisted by a number of ladies, were hard at work for more than two hours cutting sandwiches, cake, etc. Owing to the examination in certain Standards not having been completed it was found impossible to allot several of the prizes this afternoon, but these will be made known in a few days.
