SCHOOLBOYS ON TOUR. N.S.W. AND VICTORIA. AN IMPOSING PROGRAMME. (From Our Own Correspondent.) SYDNEY, January 9. Last week .the Monowai brought over 28 schoolboys from New Zealand in charge of two King's College masters, to tour Victoria and New South Wales. After, a short visit to Canberra they went down to Melbourne, where, I have no doubt, they have been well entertained. The boys are due back in Sydney tomorrow (Wednesday) morning, but the very next day they will be off to Newcastle, where they will visit the huge steel works and generally inspect the northern "industrial metropolis." Returning to Sydney, they will start on Saturday for the Jenolan Caves, run through the Blue Mountains, and return via Katoomba to settle down in Sydney for the time. They will make' Manly their base of operations, but they seem likely to have a most industrious fortnight. They are to inspect the Australian Glass Works and Peter's ice cream factory, to visit the beam wireless station at Pennant Hills, also the Koala (native bear) Park, and the Zoological Gardens at Taronga. They are to see the Hawkesbury Agricultural College, run round the harbour, inspect the warships, get in some surfing at Manly and Queenscliffe and consume a ceremonial lunch at David Jones'. They are booked for at least two picture nights—at the State and St. James , —one big fight—Shade v. Palmer at the Stadium—and as a set-off to all these frivolities they are set down to attend service on Sunday, January 21, at the Cathedral.

It is certainly an imposing programme and I am pleased to see the word "free" occurring at rather more frequent intervals towards the close of the final week.
