The French play, which was performed in the gymnasium, was entered into with much spirit, the boys beiug dressed .to suit' their parts. Afterwards oil the lawn, came an exhibition of physical exercises, which elicited much admiration for the excellence of its performance. It was an admirable idea, hav-i ing the display in the open, and the green lawn made an excellent background for the trim little white clad, bare-footed figures, who threw themselves with such kcenne3a and evident enjoyment into the work of the moment. Most wonderful and snakelike was the crocodile and the length of time ill which it wound its serpentine course upon the grass, and the evenness of its . progress spoke for their training. . The marching and doubling were also admirably performed. The tfarseillaise in Frenoh was snng hy the boys with much spirit, and cheers were also given, after the. prize-giving, which was porformed by Mrs. Fitchett. Afternoon tea was set in the diningroom, tho tables having been arranged with flowers in season. Among those present were: Mrs. Rolleston, Miss Bell. Mfa.

The other roles wcro filU-d by the Misses Keywortb, Lydisi I'iold, and Elsio Warburton.
