The Princess Theatre, kindly lent by Mr Ellis, was this afternoon filled with the children of the district school and a fair number of visitors, to witness the distribution of the prizes to the various pupils whose merits entitled them to the distinction. The prizes consisted of beautifully bound books from libraries dear to the hearts of boys and girls, which were presented to the children by. Captain W. R.
