We were successful in the cricket, while the Old Boy.s won the tennis. In the evening the teams were entertained by the Old Boys at a dinner and concert, which they thoroughly enjoyed. The Newington College boys arrived here at 6.35 on (;o:,l Friday night. On Saturday morning they defeated our rifle team by 37, and in two matches on Saturday afternoon and Monday de- feated the cricket team. J. 'l'aylor put up a fine performantce i,1 getting 104 and 139. Our Editor of last year, E. P. Holland, has been forced to resign his position on account of the approach of senior examination.

(Queensland Rhodes Scholars, however, are not available ',r vacant appointments every day, so Mr. Leslie's friends were ",t surprised to hear that his services had been secured by the Asiatcl Petroleum Company, which in his case departed from their usl:,l custom of appointing Cambridge graduates. After a brief experien' in the Company's Head Office in London, Mr. Leslie was order,'l to Shanghai in China, to which he travelled by the Siberian Railwa,. A short stay at Shanghai was followed by a transfer to Wahu on tte Vangtse Kiang, and by a second removal to Hankow, atnd stil another to Northern China.
