The confer?^^ ogiamSie * as a lengthy one, every number being excellently rendered? The vocal items by J. Boyce and C. Hill were ereath appreciated, both boys being recalled, as" as J McCarthy , «^l Y 1S t I l cltatlol V The other items by C. .Tandy (vX hn solo), L. Reeves (recitation), and the choruses by tho pupils- were rendered with pleasing effect. The duet v six boys was splendidly given, and was loudly aWlaude/ The boys also gave a fine exhibition with dumbbell! whfob displayed evidence of careful preparation The second part of the programme was devoted to the presentation of nnn^° 01 °Pf &tta ' ' The bogus school inspector ' b/ the H 111 ? 11 W T V^T creditably performed.

In athletics twLwi has uphe d.its old reputation^ Our foothaUerl took part ih the Wellington Football Association Junior Grade rSljf tion, and although- they had to meet no fewer than wSSS they went through the season without a single defeat S thus won the cup; At the present time our ericS +1 ■ is engaged in. the Wellington P Boys' Cr?cLt L agu f comg ' tition Up xo date nine matches have been played - nine have been won. In conclusion, I -may state' fW although giving much of our attention to the secular and physical education of our pupils, yet the more important work of their religious training is not overlooked Our

constant endeavor, must be to bring up. /those committed to our care as good and loyal sons of . Jtloly Church.
