Tu& presf'nt year has opened auspiciously with an unusually large return of senior hoys, so that tl1e lamentablP gaps so oftl'n noticed in thP cricket team at the beginning of the New Year are almost entil'cly absent, and the few vacancit"s that haYe occurred haYe been filled without detriment, and even with positive ad rnntage, to ou1· strength. It is long indeed since we have been so strong at cricket. Many C.'l.USPS seem to have combined to create an enthusiasm that has long been lacking for the game. The concrPte wicket, the form matches, the p1·izes :md trophies offered at the bPginning of the se.'l.Son, and especially thl' exertions and examplP of some excellent players (among whom our gre1itest debt of gratitude is clue to J. R Moulton), h:we all contributPcl to this satisfn.ctory result. \Ve seem likely to hold the proud position we have long sighed for in vnin-that of champion school at cricket as well as football. In the latter we have every prospect of a strong team, though we shall sorely miss the services of our inte1·-11ational representative. But a large majority of last year's tP1im have returned, ancl if some of the old 2nd fifteen, who have a great name for speed, will only practise well, so as to add dexterity to fleetness of foot. and some of the new boys show good form, we have no fear for the issue. Lastly, it will be no small ach-antage to the rifle team to number among its members so many veteran shots, whose steadiness and experience will stand us in good stead when the hour of battle for the Challenge Shield returns. If our representatives are succeHsful in winning the championship in n.11 threr branches of sports, Newingt-0n will at the close of I he year h1wt" an athletic r<'cord second to no othE>r school in tlw colony.

S1wiour. Life is worth living anywhere, and under any conditions, if the Great }faster will count n• nmong His senaut•."
The Head }faster, Mr. 'IV. H. Williams, M:.A., then read his report, which was as follows:
"The privilege of addrcasiug an influential and sympathetic audience like the present offers an almost irresistible temptntion to set forth the aims we a•pir" to attain in this ins tit 11tion, befo1·e eudcnTouring to eslima~ how for wc han h~eu sucC'r,:lful in renlising these aspirations during the past year. ln thi~ utilitnrinn age the truism can @carcely be too often insisted upon, that the end of true educution is not to impart information. but to secure the uniform deTelopment of all the farultieo the moral rLud physical, as well ns the intellectunl. This thorough training is the object we set before our.elves in the \arious mclhocl. and appliances Lhat arc employed in this school; and t Ins thorough tmining we cluim to impart whenever free scnpe is allowed to our SjStem. lf boyb m·u sent latP and removed early; if they are to learn this, 11ncl not to lm~m that; if t ht>;v are frequently nbscnl ; if they take 110 pnrt in school life oulsidl• the class room, we eanuot produce the same 1·cs11lt as if we had unrestrnirwd freedom of nction. \Ve can point with pleasure to tho fact that our b1·st boJ8 11rc, :Is a. rule, our own production. The beet 'cholnrs, the bl•bt athletl'•, the most trustworthy and consC'ientious boys, are genemlly those that come t•> us young, and hMl' worked their way throt1,1?h the claoscs in due cou1·dc, tnking the full cm·ricnlum, nnd identifying them· s,•Jn·s with e'l'ery dt•piirtment of school life. For the attainment of this t horoui:h educali·111 whit·h we clailll lo impnrt, wo possess the following adrnutnges:- A. large dtnff of skilful nnd experienced nmsters, seven hl•ing grllduatcs; speciali~t s for each subject i11 thP highest C'l11'scs ; separate clnssrooms for c1wh cla•s but two, which are t11ught 111 the spacious schooll'oom; systelllat.ic gradu>Ltion of the school into eleron cla•• s, so that ench boy is clus~ifiecl according to bis attainments; a distinct classification for mathrmntics, so thnt biwkwardne•s in other bubjccts dol·S not reta.rd profiei1•ncy iu thi~; a carefully·con•iclcn'<.l C'urriculum, the work of l'Rch class merging bv lu\rmonious sequerwc into that of the ue~t; re11uhr frst~ of lhe work in enef1 cla•s by periodit'al \Hillen 1urd oml examination•, nnd hy lhe complelt• ~rn111inatio11 of l ht• ''holo •t·hool in cvt>rv •uhjl'l'I that is hrld en•rv hnlfyt•t\r; nu dl'cctual clwl'k to chrouic idlene•s'iu th<~ syi<lt>m of judgnwnt'book;, fur11i.hing a <lnily rcrord of diligence nnd conduct; cxh:rnbti\'C nnd candid rl'po1·ts, giving full <lctuils of work nn<l conduct, in whi(')1 wo speak out wbuL Wl' bl'iieve to he tbu truth, howtwer uncomplimentary, even at tho risk of giriug offence; scholarships tot he t<nnuul vaht<' of £100, "hich we hopo will soon be cousidcru.bly uugmeuletl; prizes uwu.rdt•d t\I the close of ea<·li ycur, whi1·h nre here to spcttk for themselves.

"~or do we iguoro lhc social side of school life. \Vo lmvc in our midst two '·oluutary 11.Ssociations for the promotion of lilcr,u·y au1l a.·"lhl'lic cullurc -the Lit.-Oru.ry and Debating Society, and thl' :\lu;ic"l :Society both llouri"h· ing, both doing good work, the fruit of which will be seen her1•1Lftcr in r1•finc1l t.aat.es and cultured homes. Our ma.~atinl', no" in its fifth Y<'tLr, proYidcs an outlet for literary talent, and perpetuates the mcmorv of the Ocl'ling iucitlculs of school life. ·
"With the highest aspect of all I will leave the President of the Collcgo to den\. But, r.s the daily work of lhl' school is opc1wd with rt':llling llH' Bible nnd prayer, it ma.y not appear out of place to 11cknowledgc the moral etrcngth this rucognition of sucrcd truth> impart• to our di•ciplitH', and the serious and l'urnest char:wtor it lends to' the dtLily round, the common ta,k.'

" .lbving thus brielly indicated the more important agencies we employ in our efforts to secure sound 1md comprehensive e lucalio:l, it remains for me to attempt lo estimate the meoaure of success that has allend~d the•e efforts during lhe pas~ year. Al matriculation we •en! up seven cnndidalt·<, six of whom passed. In this examination we suffered a severe di•appoinl· ment in the sudden illnc•s of our best rcprc~enle.tirn, \V. A.. l'tLrkcr, "ho wo.s debarred from competing, e.ftc1· huving- nlrcady cntcr<•<I its " t•nnclidalc. His brilliant record in thl' senior last year luul warranted the hope• thu.t ho would stand W"ll for one of the scholnr:;hips. \Ve trust lllllt hi> heal! h has been sutliciently rt:'storcd by the year's r~,t to enable him to take the exumination next March. In the senior eight t·and1date. cnlt•r<'tl from the College, all of whom pa•sed. This is e. larg1•r number than pa'"'<l trom any other school, except one, in this colony tind <iut•t•usland. It would ho.<'e been still larger ho.cl it not been for the unfortunate illness of J. Bardsley, which prevented him from ta.king the examination. Out· most sm•ressful candidate wa.s lf. V. Pratt, who passed in ten subjects, being marked .\ in four, and ll in two; he is, therefore, the winner of the gold medal annually prtlocuted by the generosity of J. Hardy, E;q., for the best pass in the se11ior. Iu tho junior the same number passed as lnsL year, 1mmely eighteen. l'h~ 'iln•r medal for };nglish histor.v was won by Ii. Fulton, who was, howcYcr, unfor· tunat.ely disq uo.liflecl through being a few weeks beyond the age limit for prizes. E. l). !fall passed with the splenc'id rc('ord of seven A's, a resnlL equalled, I believe, by only one other candiclatc. E. <.:. llall. therefore, receives the silver medal anuually a.warded by the College for Lhe best result in the junior. There is a. markel improvement in the quality of the pas,.es a.s compared with last year, thirty-two A's being obtained this JCar, as against twenty-seven lust year.
"In lfarch an examiue.tion was held to award three Wigram-.Allen Scholarships, of the value of sixtel'n guineas e&l·h, one for classics, a.not her for mathematics, a.ntl the third for general proficiency. F. V. Pratt was Jac;/e princtps botli in cla8sics l\nd general proficiency; but as only one schola1-,,hip ca.n be held by the same scholar, F. V. Pratt was elected to the schol11rship for general proficiency, a.nd L. B. Lancaster, who was second in classics, to the classical scholarship. The mathematical scholarship was won by Haili· day; bn~, a.she wa.s unfortunately disqualified through not having been one year a.t the College, it was awarded to A Uoe.tes, who was second in nmthc· me.ties. In 1·ecognition of Ua.lliday's exccllcnL results in this emmimLtion he was promoted to the Sixth .Form. The examination for the ::!ohofield

i::icholarohip of £50 has just ended, with the result that F. V. Pratt, who obtained the very creditable Lohil of 1158 marks out of 1800, "ill be recom· mended Lo the Council for appointment. Before lt>aving this part of my ruport, I am glad to bo nble lo say that I believo llrnt sound and solid work has been done throughout the school during the year, tind I desire Lo record my obligation Lo my collcllgues, the masters, whose skillul and oarne~tlabours barn lllrgely contributc..>d to the success we have enjoyed.
"In sports we ha•e more than maiutained tbo high position we held last year. In football we arc again the champion school, having won three and drnwn one of the four mat<>hes played with our old rivals, the Sydney Grammar School and the King's School. One of our first fifteen, J. E. Moulton, had the honour of playing for the colony against the .English team. One of the most cncouroging features of the sea~on wns the success of the second fifteen, who ea,ily won !\ll the six matches in which they were engaged. I n cricket it gives me much plet1sure lo chronicle !\ marked im· provement. In spite of the absence (which I trust is only temporary) of two of our best playen!, W, O'~eill and J. Bti1"1slcy, the first eleven have won three and drawn two of the fi,·e school matahes hitherto pl!\yod. lo two cases we have reversed the verdict of last season, in beating l:lt. lgnatius and the Melbourne Grimrnmr i::ichool, which la:!l >car in!licled severe defeats upon u~. The ~ame •atisfactory feature appeal'!! in cricket as in football in the success of the second eleven, who have won all the matches thu,v have pla~·ed. Iu shooting, the reputation of the College hlU! been well maintained. ln the Centennial matches Colour-Sergeant ll. Wllrden made the extraord· inary score of ton consecutive bull's-eyes at 500 yards, and with 90 out of e. possible 100 won Major \Valker's prize of £15 for the highest score in thg Riflo Club's Match, against some 410 competitors. 'l'he team, as a whole, was placed eleventh out of 88, winninic a prize of .£10. At the recent meeting of the New South Wales Rifle Association tho shooting of the boys wru. excellent; auy apparent foiling off, ns compnred with last year, being explained by the fad that the officers who made such high scores last yoor were not in their usual form. The success of the team this year is the more t·rc<litable as it consisted entirely of recruits. In the Nursery Match our boys won eight prizes, not more than three being won by any other corps in the colony. The ::lchools' Challenge Shield was again won by the College with the •plendid soore of 5l!5, being an irnp1·ovemcnt of 21 points 011 the winning score Inst year. In the All-Schools' t.fotch with carbines, the :'I' ewington cadets won eleven out of the sixteen prizes, this result rellcctiug the greatest credit ou tho skilful and painstaking training of Sergeant-Major ll!\rlow, who had chu!'ge of the carbines. All these successes prove that our L'adet Corps, long the pl'ide of the College, is ns ell1cient as ever under the able and Tigorous management of Captain R. N. Smith, lo " hose self-donying labours the.e honourable results are mainly due. '!'he Bicycle Club has h!\d another very ~uccessful sen-<on, having won numerous prizes at most of the principal meetings. With representatives like A. Martin and W . '!'.Perry, not to mention other s•aunch riders, we haTe been able to lake a prominent position among the leading clubs in Sydney. Our 13th Annual Sports' .Meeting, held on the Ashfield Recreation Ground in the presence of some 7000 spectators, }Jrovcd completely succe~sful, t\ long programme being e11rried out puoctu1illy and wit hout a hitch. '!'he College Champion C11p, llwarded to the athlete who scored most points in ~he seven principal compc· titions, was won by \ V. 0' Neill with eighteen points.
".Among the associations in connection with the College may be mentioned the Musical Society, which owes its birth and vigorous existence

The Litt•rary nud Debating :-;ocicly lllls held fortnightly meetings during the year for readings, ree1tutio11', essay•, and debates. The Society has been well supported by the ~ehool, but a larger 11ttendanco of masters 11ud old boys would impnrt a more 111aturo tLnd iuslructivo character to thl• proceedings.
"A nrw departure has been taken this yt•ur, which, from the succ<>ss it has mel with, bids fair lo become tm annual institution. :Some scn•nly or t•ighty' of the cadt•ls, under tho comnumd of Cu.plain R.

Modern Form (they won't 'know any better) we will t.ranslat<': "Don't quirrel with what you get." Just one thing of great importanc·e. 'rhe last event of the progriimme-the tug-of-war-has for severnl years been an "event" only for tbo~o who rrowd in near enough. "Fools rush in where angels fear to tread" appears to be au apt quotation, for the in· nidcrs are mostly of the male sex, and the ladies stop in the pavilion. The gerwrally acct•pted theory up to the present time has been, that the best place for seeing the "tug" is at tho rope itself. Thi• theory carried out •poils Urn pleasure of nineteen-twentieths of the spectators, who, too prudent to trust themseht•s among the madding cro\\d, lwur from ufur the strains of battl!'. Of the combutont~ tbemsehcs, they ean see nenrly us Iii tle iis the judges. When the piercing shouts rise still shriller, und the day-ho) s arc exhorted to "go it," it is generally safe to coneludc that the boa1ders are winning, and vice 1·e1·.,a. But joking apart, those "ho han• seen properly conducted tugs-of-war or tug-of-wars (this is ii
nice poi11t for th• D4?batiug ::iot•iety) who have sct'n, say, the busin<'ss· like manner in '' hich a do7.en fishermen, uRed to pulling boats ashore, can pull a doz('n stout (not in the st'nsc of "obe•o") policemen or S)ldiers arro~s tbe line without apparent effort, mnst regret that this cnt1•rtaiuing item of the pro~rammc is not conducted so that all may witne>s it. Lnst year we Joo'kcd to llle Connni~•ionaires, but they, poor men, though "forewarned," could not have grappll'd with the in-rushing hordes if tbl'y bud been "four-armed."
This year t be Secretary 1i~ks tbt• assistance of tbo boys in preserving to the vet·y close of the programme the succe~s which usually charao· tcriscs it up to this point. A short notice will be plll<•ed upon the programme, intimating that unl<''s this request i~ kindly complied with the tug-of-war will be postponed till the following \\Cek, and t.he programme be regarded as cornplele for the dlly.

LAWN TENNIS.
THI> Tennis Court is in excclleut condition for practice now. This hn.s induced many new players to try their skill. We are sorry to have lost two of our best players, viz., A. Coates and L. Spencer. However, those who are uow regularly practisiug promise in time to become very fair players. We are glad to be able to give our readers a full account of the tournament mentione<l in our last i~ue. :lloulton, although scratch, managed to win the :-;inglo Handicap. A very intcrcijting match was ph~yedjust before the holidays against the Sydney High ~chool, which resulted in a win for Xcwington. \Ye publish the scores below.

TllE CADET CORPS.
Oun Corps, like most sehool institutions, is ernr bathing in the fountam of youth and coming forth 1·cjuvenatcd; and so we lll'ar the wa.il of the Old .Boy, "\Vbat a small lot you hMe at the school now." Sma\1 no doubt they are, in the Old Boys' cstimntion, as most thing!! arc small, but still they are large enough for prnct ical purpo~t:~.
As might be expected, we have lost several of our best officel'!! and riilc-shots. Scrgt. Henson, l'orp. Capel, J, .. ()orp.
