Our London correspondent mentions that the Illustrated and Dramatic IS'ew-s devotes a considerable amount of space to publio school sports matters. In a recent issue prido of place was accorded to Christ's Collego, authentic and interesting information having 1 been specially written by an old boy of the colioge, who is now in England. The writer ventured the opinion that not onry the old boys themselves, but boys at public schools in England would be interested to have some up-to-date information concerning a school which is looked upon as "one of the finest Hug by cradles in the world, and of the quite remarkable fifteen by which it is roprescontod this season." Mention is made of V. P. Powell (now at Clifton), the Lowry brothers and Tripp, Buckley (Oxford), and "the popular Tahu Rhodes, of tho Grenadior Guards, and a no mean Rugby performer." An interesting summary J 6 given of the Christ's Collego v. Wangamii College Rugger watch and of tho Christ's v. Wollington College contest. The writer iB editorially referred to as "my esteemed correspondent, who, by the way, played not only for Christ's, but later for Edinburgh University, with the groat Darkio' Sivwright, of Fottes mid Cambridge. I need scarcely tray that I shall bo pleiasod to hear from him again on future occasions,''-
