CHRIST’S COLLEGE GRAMMAR SCHOOL.

The distribution of prizes to the boys attending the above school took place last evening in the College Library, the gallerybeing devoted to the boys attending the school, and the ground floor was filled by the friends of the pupils. The Most Kev. the Primate and Fellows of the College were present. His Lordship said it was due, previous to the distribution of the prizes, to explain that the vacation ought to have commenced next week, but as some of the boy* were studying for University scholarships, the examination for which commences next Monday, it was thought desirable to dismiss the school, so as not to interfere with these students. As regarded Christ's College Grammar School, at present it numbered 161 boys, of whom 53 were boarders, of these twenty.one came from outside tho provincial district. He would remind tne boys that yet greater exertions were needed to arrive at the proper standard. A falling eff in the numbers was noticeable, and this wes to be traced to two causes—first, the establishment of the Boys' High School in their vic’nity, and also that in soma of the other parts of the colony schools of a similar character had been opened. Ho considered it a cause for congratulation that education was so extended. Tho High School would create a feeling of healthy rivalry, and there need be no animosity between the two institutions. The knowledge imparted in both was almc-at identical, save that the college curriculum included religious instruction, end this, mixed up with the daily life of tne boys, could not fail to conduce to tho best results. He concluded by asking the boys to, one and all, bear in mind that self-conceit was a bane, and that with the present educational views now abroad, some whom they despised now would be found jostling them in their future walks in life. He would therefore counsel energy combined with humility, thinking they each might do better than they had ever done before. The examiners were the Dean, Canon Ootterill, Kovs. O. Bowen, H. B. Cooks, F. G. Erittan, T. Flavell, and W. Harper, and Messrs Tancred, Eeevet, Izard, and Spackman. The prizes were then distributed as follows :
