Cidiorial. ITH August come many good things-- the return of the spring, the Exhibition week, and last, but far from least, the B.(;.S. Magazine. As usual the work of the school in general has b1een increasing with the progress of the year. It ha tElund itself with a proportional increase of work, both on the scholastic and athletic sides of its life. A few weeks previous to the Sydney Junior Exams. gave ample opportunity to candidates to show their staving Power in preparation work, while the residue of the scholars were able to devote themselves to the final struggle for knowledge prev- ious to the coming of the school half-yearly examinations. Athletics are by no means less popular than formerly. Rugby fotball, which may still be regarded as the school game, has enabled the four teams to cover themselves with mire and glory with con- siderable credit. The first XV. retains its reputation in the grade and notwithstanding the loss of such men as Kiernan, Walsh, and ('latworthy it seems probable that they will again prove them- selves the premiers in their division, as they have already proved to he the premier school team, defeating Maryborough, Ipswich, and Gatton. The Junior teams have also creditable records, although the second XV. have been forced to drop out of their grade. ishy no means at a standstill. For the first time for many years two teams have been entered in the Fixtures, and the old first IV, deslite the many hindrances which its progress has sustained, seems to be " coming out on top," though the second team is I,ss fortunate. 8 Brisbane Grammar School Magazine In the military section of the school considerable alteration has been made. B Company cadets have been classed as juniors. and uniforms of a new type and by no means popular with til wearers have been issued to them, but the A Company arrangements have not altered materially. Since our last issue the corps have been pleased inspected by General Hoad, who expressed himself very with their physique and drill, and characterised them as one of tlw best companies he had seen in . Included with this number are photos of the Past (;ralllnarl Football team School First Team, and the school captains.

,l.ICITORS' PREIIMINARY EXAMINATION E. B. FoY A. R. Coutts Brisbane Grammar School Magazine. 9 nmpire £ssy ComWfitiM. The last English mail brought us a letter from the Hon. Sec. of the League of the Empire informing us that the Lord Meath Empire Day challenge cup and the League of the Empire prize of £5 5s. had been won by C. H. H. Jerrard of our school, and that these prizes would be forwarded at once. A photograph of this cup shall be published in this magazine in the next issue. It is to be held by the winning school for one year, and no doubt the names of the winners, as in the case of all challenge cups, will be recorded upon it. The cup was first competed for last year, and was won by Eton. Essays this year were sent in from schools in and , Rhodesia, Bengal, Madras, Bombay, Burmah, Demer- ara, as well as schools in many parts of . The subject was "The conditions of successful colonization," and the judges of the essays were Mr. H. W. Eve (representative of the College of Preceptors), Mr. E. D. A. Morshead, and Professor Ernest A. Gardner, of University College, London. The head master set this subject for the school essay prize, given by the Old Boys' Association last Christmas, and the winning essay in that competition was forwarded, without alteration, to represent us in this more important event. C. H. H. Jerrard has had a particularly brilliant and successful record as an essay writer during his career at the Brisbane Grammar School, having won both the Junior and Senior essay prizes for the Prevention of Cruelty Society, and the senior essay of the Queensland National Association in open competition. His success is an encouragement to the school, and may be taken as an indication that in all that the school attempts it tries to reach a high standard.

Sef/ff Items. The School Fifteen still holds the record of being unbeaten for ',tr two years; that is, if we do not include a forfeit which was Imade to " Valleys " during this year's Midwinter Vacation. Of last year's team there were but six remaining, vi., Newell, Forbes, Schooley, Willcocks, Brown, and Jopp, and by means of these and thlir fresh members the school still keeps its record. We opened the season this year by playing a scratch match gainst " Valleys " on the School Turf and came out victors by 21 polints to II1. As this was the first match of the season neither team had much con:bination, and all the players were more or less out of con- ,liti, ,n. 10 Brisbane Grammar School Magazine.

Before fixtures started Messrs. J. J. Walsh, E. Evans, and ('. Campbelll very generously caine up to the school and lectured on successive occasions on the Ikoints of the game, and no doubt we owe some of our some success to them. On Saturday, 27th April, our fixtures commenced. SCH()O)I V. CHRISTIAN BROTHERS. This match was played at New Farm, and after a very "scrap- py " game the school won by 8 points to 3. Forbes and Willcck'ks each scored, and Newell converted one. Throughout the game our passing was very bad, especially among the backs, but the forwards on the whole played fairly well considering the time they had been together. SCH()OL V. ST. GEOR(;E GORD)NS. For this match we received a forfeit, which, however, we were sorry to accept, since we had played such a very friendly inatch with them the previous year. It is understood that their club was holding its annual sports, and the committee of the Rugby I'nion had been unable to grant them a bye. I CHO()L . NI)DGEE (IICOLLEE. We have always looked forward to match against " Nudltc." This year the match was played at Kedron Park, and our te.. mlcaie out victorious by 1. points to 3. The following scored tries : Forvs, (1), Schooley (2), Forster (1), and Newell (1). None of these trics however, were converted. Newell's try was a \very clever one'. Kicking up the field he followed on fast, gathered the ball and sprinted over. The Nudgee team appeared to be heavier than cur. but were rather slower in action. Our forwardls, among whoim Willcocks did goodl work, were much faster than their opi)ni,.nt while our backs also showed better combination and passing. SCH)oo v. NEW FARM. Although the " New Farms " had tlhe advantage ol tlh'il ,\ ground, the School were again victors by 11 points to 9. Scl, InI\ L. G. Brown, and Forster each scored, the latter on his occ.li" doing a splendid run around the wing. ()Owing to a strong w\i! that was blowing, only one try was converted, vi..: by,\F1rvl Towards the finish the game Ibecame very critical, since " New I.:ii'" had only to score to Ibeat us, and we were most of t he time , , t' defensive. SCH.OOL . G(ATTON (COLLEGE. On Friday, 24th May (Empire D)ay), the team, accollmpail '' 11 Mr. Roe, paid a visit to Gatton College in order to play our . 1i match with the college fifteen. We were very hospitably n ',\,i I and during the morning were shown very iany things ,i "'". MI interest connected with the College. In the afternoon we pla\ I match and won by 16 points to 6.

Boys among our opponents, and so there can be no doubt as to the friendliness of the game. For the school Forster, who was in good form, scored 3 times, and Forbes once. Two of the tries were con- verted by Newell. Good combination, which the college boys lack- ed, was shown among our backs. Schooley did a fine run and suc- ceeded in getting over, but lost the ball, and Forster touched it down. Towards the finish we were pressed hard and the College came near scoring on several occasions. We returned the same evening, after having spent a very pleasant day. SCHOOL v. HOLY TRINITY. In spite of our trip to Gatton the day before, we succeeded in heating our opponents very badly by about 20 to nil. The match was played at the Brisbane Ground, which was quite a treat to us, since hard and gravelly fields usually fall to our lot. SCHOOL V. S. BRISBANE. The S. Brisbane team, like our own, had not yet been beaten this season, and since both teams were confident of winning, a very hard match was the result, and from it we came out victors by 8 points to 6. The match was played at Toowong. Sutton and L. G. Brown each scored and Newell converted one. E. Plant put in an excellent run from our opponents' 2. yards line and almost succeeded in scoring, but was collared and had to pass out to Brown, who scored. All our forwards put in good work and succeeded in getting up some fine dribbling rushes. Towards the finish we were put on the defensive a good deal and were greatly relieved when full time sounded. SCHOOl. V. VA.LLEY. This match we were compelled to forfeit on account of the Mlidwinter Vacation. We are justified therefore in not counting it a defeat. IBRISBANE GRAMMAR SCHOOL V. MARYBOROUGH (GRAMMAR SCHOOL. On the Wednesday before the School broke up for the Mid- \\inter Vacation we played our annual match against the Mary- borough Grammar School. The match was played at the Union ('rounds, Bowen Bridge, in the presence of a fairly large crowd of spectators. The first half of the game was of not much interest "wing to the bad combination of both teams, and as a result there \as not much advantage gained on either side. In the 2nd half the home team showed much improvement, and succeeded in scor- ing on several occasions. The result of the match was a win for us by - to -. SCHooL v. NEW FARM. After a long spell during the visit of the New Zealand team, 1we !,sumed our fixtures. The 2nd round commenced hby our 14 Brisbane Grammar School Magazinc. playing New Farm at the Botanical Gardens. New Farm put out a very weak team against us and the result was an easy victory for us by 38 pts. to nil. SCHOOL v. NI'DGEE COLLEGE. This match was played at New Farm. This time the Collhge team were fully deretmined to beat us, and so put out its strongest representatives against us ; they, however, were again disappointed. Newell, our full-back, was unable to play for us, owing to a twisted ankle, which he had sustained the previous Saturday ; but Riechel- mann filled the vacancy very creditably for so small a player. No score was made by either side duling the first half, although ur had the advantage of a slight wind and the slope of the grould. Nudgee College, however, on several occasions were forced to sav. The second half our team made the game more open and many 1ril- liant passing rushes were to be seen, both among our forwards and backs. Schooley succeeded in (lashing over from s,me loose play in our opponents 2.'. Forbes converted this with a beautiful kick. From another fine passing rush among our I acks, Forlhts almn

Bridgman, N. Lloyd, Gripp, R. Willcccks, A. Ord, J. B. Brown, R. Dowse, E. Baynes, R. Francis, H. Marsland, N. Robertson, Barnes. We played St. James on May llth at Bowen Bridge and won by 12 to 4. Holmes scored 3 tries and Willcocks kicked a goal from a mark. On the 18th May we beat South Brisbane by 3.5 to nil. Holmes scored 8 tries and converted one, Lloyd scored twice, and Brown once. We were heaten by the Christian Brothers on the 25th by 22 to nil. This match had to be replayed, and we were again beaten by 9 to 3. On both occasions we did not have our best team. Nudgee College beat us by 21 to nil. We did not have a full team for this match, although it was played on our own ground. In the second round of fixtures we played St. James for our first match and won by 6 to 3. Holmhnes scored for the school. FO()R'TH FOOTBALL TEAM. May 1II.

We played a scratch match against South Brisbane and won by 8 points to 3. We are leading in our grade now, since Normals have been put up to a higher grade, and have a very good chance for the premier- slip if the team would only exert themselves a little and come down to practice 1 BHrsbanic Grammar School Magazine. Rowiq. )Owingto the absence of regattas there has been nothing verv stirring in rowing matters since the last issue of the Maga.in.. Our candidates for the vacant seats in the school four, C. M. Lillh\. K. Watts, and G. S. Wilson have been practising regularly in thn Junior eight of the Brisbane Rowing Club, in which crew H. Den- ham has occupied No. 7 seat. The above members together with L. G. Brown should furnish excellent material from which to choose a strong school four for the race against Maryborough in December, which will have to be rowed this year on the Mary River. We should be glad to see some more younger boys begin their rowing now,. that the supply of material for crews in future years may not fall away. To L. G. Brown has been awarded by the Committee oi the Brisbane Rowing Club Mr. J. Chapman's cup for the junir oarsman who has done best work for the shed during the past yea.

COMMANDANT'S INSPECTION. The Commandant's inspection, which took place on our own ground, lasted for about two and a-half hours, at the end ol whlicl time Colonel Chauvel addressed us and said that he was solewlhat disappointed with the corps, but that all seemed well acquainthd with their drill. In regard to the corps' shooting he saw that \\ were still very prominent, and hoped that we would win the Emnpiru Match this year. . GENERAL HOAD'S INSPECTI()N. On the 2. th July the corps was again inspected by (;Gein'al Hoad, Inspector-General of the Commonwealth Forces. Attr seeing us at work for about thirty minutes the General add&lrcl us and said with regard to the Cadets (our B. complany), thit ii spite of the want of uniforms they passed a very satisfa1orv inspection, and lie was indeed glad he had taken this opportlIity of seeing them on their own ground ; and with regard to the S, iot' Company that they compared very favourably with the i,'ust company he had seen in Australia. At the conclusion of his sl '.lh he called out the buglers and instructed them to sound some ills. Our ;unior bugler, Halstead, played several calls jperfectly, wi lin;g up with the " Last Post," and on finishing was congratulate 1, the General on his efficiency. Brisbane Grammar School Magaczin.

On the following day the Cadets were inspected bly General Hoad in the Domain. The Company was marched to the Street Drill Shed under Lieut. H. Plant, and there fell in with the rest of the battalion, and marched to the parade ground, where Capt. Gross awaited them. After some battalion drill a;nd march- ing past in quarter column General Hoad addressed them again in very complimentary terms and said he was much pleased at the work he had seen. Afterwards they were marched I:ack to the drill shed and disImissed.

BY C.A.P. Tennis at the B.G.S. has gone ahead very much of late. A largt number of the boys play and a great deal of interest is taken in thce game. This season we have two teams playing in the Association Com- petition ; the first plays in B Grade (Section I.) and the second in B Grade (Section III.). Both teams have met with a good amount of success. Up to the' present date the School team has suitered defeat on one occasion only, that being at the hands of Toombul. The School team has su 'ered a severe loss owing to J. Chandler leaving school at Midwinter. Chandler always played a good gaimn for us, and we were very sorry to lose him. We hope to hear of hi success at the game in the future. J. W. Forbes filled the vacancy, and with a little experience to give him confidence promises to he a verg good player. At present the team is as follows :-R. Shirlyv. H. Casey, C. Powell (Capt.), J. Forbes. We have to thank the ('al- ton, St. Andrew's, and Y.M.C.A. Clubs for the sportsmanlikt spirit they showed by kindly consenting to meet us on another d;att rather than to take a forfeit from us during our Mid-winter holidays. The time is flying by and the season will soon be over; so w\ will have to begin thinking of Annual Tournament, which ,,ill commence shortly. The Inter-State Tournament takes place at a very early ,it and we hope that the B.G.S. boys who enter will have good I"uk. The following are the results of matches played to date. IST ROUND.---V. Carlton B I., on Carlton Courts, won b 4' !b\ games to 31. V. St. Andrew's, on St. Andrew's Courts, woi 38 games to 31. V. Y.M.C.A., on School Courts, won by 41 g;a WI' Brisbane Grammar School Magazine. 21 to 31. V. Toombul, postponed on account of rain. V. Ipswich, won on a forfeit. V. Taringa, on Taringa Courts, won by 45 games to 22. 2ND ROUND.-V. Carlton, on School Courts, won by 41 games to 27. V. St. Andrew's, postponed on account of School holidays. V.Y.M.C.A., on Y.M.C.A. Courts, won by 42 games to 27. V. Toom- bul, on Toombul Courts, lost by 32 to 40. V. Taringa, on B.G.S. Courts. Won by .4 games. B.G.S. v. I.G.S. On Empire Day we journeyed by train to Ipswich in response to a challenge received from the Ipswich Grammar School. The first match between teams representing the I.G.S. and B.G.S. was played in Brisbane last year, when the Ipswich boys won after a closely contested game. This year it was our turn to win, so we took it and succeeded in winning by 14 games. During the afternoon the Brisbane boys were entertained by Mr. and Mrs. Flint at the Ipswich Grammar School. In this match all the members of the Brisbane team played at the tip-top of their form. The courts were in splendid order and the weather was perfect. The match was started by Chandler-Powell (B) who played against Flint-Mellor (1) ; the Brisbane boys led 4-0, but then their opponets struck better form and took the set 6--. Shirley-Casey (B) had no trouble in winning the first set from Hunter-Conwell, the other Ipswich pair. But in the second set the latter improved and brought the scores '-5.; however, Shirley -Casey were equa.1 to the occasion and won the set. The Chandler and Powell - Hunter and Conwell match was not a very eventful encounter, as the Brisbane boys won without any difficulty. Shirley and Casey had a very exciting tussle with Flint and Mellor; in the end the B.G.S. pair came out one game to the good. The following are the detailed scores :- Chandler and Powell (B.(.S.) v. Flint and Mellor (I.G.S.), :-6; 5-6. V. Hunter and Conwell (I.G.S.), 6-1 ; 6-3. Shirley and Casey (B.G.S.), v. Hunter and ('onwell (I.G.S.), i-o ; 6-.5. V. Flint and Mellor (I.G.S.), 4-6 ; 6-3. Totals.--B.G.S., . sets, 44 games ; I.G.S. 3 sets, '0 games. B.G.S. thus won by 14 games. THE SEC(')NI) TENNIS TEAM.

The Mayor, who, according to his own statement, liad never before taken any interest in football, was con. verted to Rugby by the manly behaviour of tile Past (;rammar scl(ool Team. He remarked that from the conduct of our team both on and off the field that lhe was satistied tliat a man could he ;i footballer and at the same time a gentleman.

The rules o tl- system provide for two Leaders, Deputy Leaders, andl \\lhi[' who maintain their positions until they are tdefeated three tini:I succession or five times in all, the speakers being allowed t\\(, \,r,, and the non-speakers one vote. So far this system has workedl \\, and the attendance and enthusiasm have increased. A ,,l11I has been iprepared for the entire session, and of the subjec ts ;ln, a. dealt with, special mention might e made of the literarl " !\*:\i11, with Australian Authors," at which the ()ld (Girls' Asscciatiiln i sisted.
