The entertainments given hy pupils of the school and adult performed .were well patronised, the first performance drawing a crowded house. The "criminal'' competition, giiessimr at the original of a photograph of a "disguised member of the crowd, was won by Messrs Bcnbow and Melsaae, who guessed correctly.
