Yesterday was quite a gala day for the children attending the Mount Eden College (conducted by Miss Bews), the annual, sports and distribution of prizes taking place on the Domain Cricket Ground. ,1 The weather proved favourable, and quite a large number of relatives and friends attended to witness the sports, which were entered into with great zest by the pupils, and were 'very enjoyable to the onlookers. Quite a number of novelties were introduced in the- shape of tugs-of-war (girls v. boys), egg and spoon races, thread-the-needle races, maypole dances, etc. An item that provided much amusement was the girls' race, in which the competitors had to drive pets. The latter included goats, cats, fowls, geese, ducks, a lamb, and a donkey, and. had the last-named not decided upon steering a crooked course it would have won the prize, which, as it was, went to the lamb. A bicycle parade, in which some 30 young ladies took part, was very pretty, and the various evolutions ,jvere skilfully and correctly gone through. The foot races on both the girls' and boys' side were capitally contested, and everything passed off satisfactorily. Afternoon tea was provided, and at the close of the sports the prizes won by the pupils during the year were distributed by the Rev. William Beatty, as under: — "

There was a large attendance of parents and friends at the breaking-up, ceremony and prize distribution at the Ladies' College, Remuera, yesterday afternoon. The weather was beautifully fine, making very attractive indeed the outdoor part of the programme, which included speech-making, selections by the college orchestra, and fairy-like exercises by the children, who were attired in their summer frocks and looked particularly charming. , The Rev. W. Beatty, who has not missed a prize-giving at the college for nine years, distributed the awards. In so doing he spoke in eulogistic terms of the management, and spoke of the earnest character-building work that was being accomplished. Mrs. Moore-Jones, in a graceful speech, described the work of the past year. , The syllabus, she stated, had been uninterrupted, and great progress had been registered in French and a good, beginning made in German. A special point had been made of pure English. Much ground had been covered in elementary science. Attention had been given to hygiene, physiology, botany, domestic economy, and needleworkall of which she considered essential to an educationa' course. Through the instrumentality of the Empire League the girls had been introduced to most suitable correspondents in first-class schools at Home, with mutual advantage. Attention to needlework had been stimulated by the effort that was being made in connection with the bazaar for the general hospital fund. Above all, thoy hac aimed at training and moulding the character of the pupils to the highest ideal. Whils* thoroughly unseetarian in their teaching, they took the Bible as their groundwork. Much pleasure was afforded by a drawingroom entertainment, wilier included cantatas, French dialogues, piano solos, and recitations. Afternoon tea was provided and greatly enjoyed. Specimens of drawing and needlework by the pupils—in all cases showing remarkable taste and skillwere exhibited. The following is the prize list: — Form 11.

Master C. Dunn gave a piano solo. The next item was an exhibition in physical drill, the boys going through ; their movements in excellent time and order. Mas- ■'. ter J.
