Half-an-hour afterwards the «lder scholars, attended by .the Rev. Mr Tebbs and the various teachers and officers of the school marched to the Domain. The procession presented a gay appearance, as nearly all the children carried particoloured bannerets, while the handsome banner belonging to the school was carried at the head of the procession. Arrived at the Domain, lunch was provided for about 350 scholars and friends, and the afternoon was spent in the usual way with games and foot races. Thames, this day.
