Thanks were also extended to. the judges. He had received apologies for absence from the school’s former headmaster, /Mr. de Berry, Mr. J. , A., Nash. M.P., at present in Wellington;,and Mr. Moore, headmaster of Weqt Bad School. His Worship the Mayor, Mr. A. J. Graham..then spoke a few words. He derived v much pleasure- at' seeing before him such an array or youth and Beauty arid expressed .appreciation at the work done by the parents, school committee,v and teachers in making all arrangements.
