in the mile ewe consiswd of a very handsome tall
silver cup, engraven with the college Notts and crest.

owl.- it a condition that 1111 competitor shook' take
more than three prizes—two find and 11ne second prize.
Carruthers was the most successful competitor of the

mitt The nowt inttrest seemed to be centred in the
hurdle races, which were well contested. Immense
fun was created by the 'wolf races, Is the egg and

pupils have appeared in public since the Rev. J.
Miller 111111 been hwdmanter we feel we I'tight to state
that the conduct of the boys was most meritorious ;
also that there is every reason for believing there is a
bright future sinepect for the school now that it has
been placed in a new footing. The subscribers to the
school include two members of Parliament, and many
of the local clergy. The prize% were distributed im-
mediately after the sports by Mrs. Miller.
The Rev. J. NIILLIta said the boys had been
prepariog for the sports some time, and that they were
about to receive the reward for their energy. He was
sure the best thanks of Rcompetitors were due to the
ladies and gentlemen wit.. had been present at the
