The events will be the same as last year, but the orfler of running has been amended to provide as long a spell as possible for competitors taking part in numerous events. All heats will be run consecutively, and all finals at the end of the programme. Entries will close on February 20. Prizes. The members of the winning teams in the relay races will each receive a silver medal, and their school will receive a silver cup. All other first-prize winners will receive a silver cup, and all secondprize winners a silver medal.

It was also decided to apply for trophies for annual school points prizes for girls and lor boys. Officers. The following officers were elected : Starters, Messrs L. James and W.
