LONG-DELAYED SCHOOL PRIZE.
London, June 27
A remarkable incident marked Speech Day at Cheltenham College yesterday. Fifty years ago Daniel Vincent Shortland won a prize for excellence in the Woolwich entrance examination. He had to leave school for Woolwich, however, before the Speech Day, and the prize never reached him. Since then Colonel Shortland has spent many years in India, but yesterday ringing cheers greeted his appearance on the platform at his old college to receive his prize at the hands of Viscount St. Aldwyn.
