INGLEWOOD.

(From Our Own Correspondent.) There was a very pleasant gathering at the Inglewood School on Tuesday afternoon, when Mr. P. M. Glenie, acting for the chairman of the School Committee, introduced Mr. D. Lyall, the newly-appointed headmaster of the school, and Miss Jemison, the new infant mistress. Mr. Lyall suitably acknowledged the introduction, expressing the hope that the kindndss of their welcome was a good forecast of the pleasant relations which he trusted would obtain between all parties while he is in Inglewood. He hoped that when parents had any actual, or even imaginary grievance, they would come direct to him for explanation, and not waste their time talking over their troubles amongst themselves. The gathering then partook of the excellent afternoon tea which the ladies had provided. A very pleasant gathering was held at the Inglewood Convent School on Thursday afternoon, when, in the presence of the Sisters who conduct the •school, and n number of friends and par* ents of pupils, a most enjoyable programme of vocal and instrumental music was given by the school members. The following awards, consequent on the recent musical examinations, were presented by Mr. W. H. Eagar, viz.: Theory

examination, Trinity College, Doria Manby, winner of medallion for highest marks, Kathleen Priest, Norie Seabright. Constance Gudgeon, Jack Harris, Lambton Harris; junior (advanced), Lottie Cottier, Keitha Ennis; intermediate, Ruth Nicholls; intermediate (advanced), Freda Keast; higher division, harmony, Royal College. Gwendoline Leach; teacher’s diploma, Nellie Wilson, Erin McMahon. A very hearty vote of thanks for, and appreciation of, the patient care and interest shown by the teachers in their pupils’ progress was carried by acclamation in response td the call of Mr. Eagar. The first competition of the second round in the Inglewood cribbage tournament for 192-3 was played on Monday night, when the results were as follows:- ; Fire Brigade 27 v. Bristol Road 25, Bowlers 28 v. Druids 23, Foresters 26 v. Kaimata 21, Kaimiro 29 v. Bacon Factory 23. No games in this competition will be played next week.
