Th,6'"boys had' been very successful in athletics, • arid 'in-the gyrhiiastic - com'petiticiri had cpmb.- : second to- Wellington Collego by. a small margin.

It was sought to show, this by the hoys' success, in 'thp Civil Service arid other ezamina* tiorii, because they'did receive, at pre- , Kritjjariy hall-mark from the State./" • " j ARCHBISHOP REDWOOD'S REMARKS; His-.
