Harrison lost evening for the purpose of illustrating the progress mndo during tho first term of tho sermon, A special fcuturo of tho gymminium is tho Sandow system of dumbbell exercise*. # Tho work of both sexes in this department was highly 6atisfactory, and reflected credit on Instructors and pupils. A programme of fifteen items — comprising exercises for th© acquirement of graceful carriage, sound health, and physical strength-— was gone, through, and each item in its turn proved interesting and called forth applause from a large attendance of spectator*. Amongst the moro " popular items from a spectator's point of viow wero tho wand exercises and club swinging, which were given with a precision which showed that the pupils had taken a wholehearted interest in their work The exercises of a *quad of senior pupils on the parallel bars, the ring*, and the horizontal bar wero really first-cWs. Naturally several pupils stood out prominently above tho others, and gave a diiplay worthy of professionals, still the- average work was good. A combined display whs also given by girls and boys this afternoon, and on Moiuh(y evening the senior pupils will give another entertainment.
