The attendance at both Colleges for the past year has been very satisfactory, and the many applications I'ir admission in the ensuing year warrant the Governors in anticipating that it will show even more favourable results. The Boys' College playground, which the Governors were enabled to level and grass by the aid of the generous contributions of the College old hoys, has been of the utmost value for sports and drill during the year. The lame swimming-bath in the Hoys' College grounds has provided a valuable and healthful recreation, which the boys have greatly appreciated, and have taken full advantage of. A duck is being supplied to the tower of the Boys' College by the family of the late Rev. .1. C. Andrew, a former Principal, in memory.of their father. This will be a benefit both to the College and tn the residents m the vicinity, aid tin- Governors take this opportunity of publicly expressing their grateful thanks to the donors. They I Iso desire to express their appreciation of the good work done during the year by the Principals and staffs of both Colleges, as shown by results.
