The Boor of the Senate-house was as usual, crowded by is.

absence of anything like political feeling, and the chief le
demonstrations from the galleries were =thirty of a univer-

sity local character. Bishop Selwyn and Mr. Routh
(upon whom the mantle of the late Mr. Hopkine,
as " senior wrangler maker" would appear to have se
.
descended) were loudly cheered. The non-provi-
don on the Boor of fitting accommodation for the en
spectators there assembled elicited inquiries from above 51
as to why proper " forms" and additional " boards" were
not provided. One Prcelector of a college, who had half- a
a-dozen aspirants for the B.A. degree on his hands, and et
maned particularly nervous, was reminded of how • le
There wu as old lady who lived in a shoe.
Ithshad so many children she didn't know what to do. :I.
And the reverend gentleman was advised to follow the
ample of the venerable lady, as recited in the succeeding it
lines of the ballad. A wooden spoon wee !lung down at 11)
the feet of the gentleman who occupied that particularly
unenviable position, and was, being seized by one of the
Esquire Bedells, handed round for the inspection of the a
ladles on the floor, as symbolical of the capabilities of the
gentleman then at the feet of the Vioe-Chanoellor.
It may be interesting to note those whose names
in the mathematical honour and other lists whosirre
further distinguished themselves in other phases of uni- ~,
versity life, for it was towards these that the enthusiasm
et
of the occupants of the galleries appeared to be more par- is
titularly directed. Thus, with regard to rowing, we have
on the honour list Mr. Collard, of St. John's, who rowed
l in the University boat of last year, and whose recent 100
illness has injured alike his place in the Tripos, and his
chance of again representing Cambridge at Putney. Mr.
Pinckney, of Trinity, is well known as a distinguished oar ice
from many previous victories, and he is now rowing stroke at
to the University boat in practice on the CUD in which le
boat Mr. Nadin, of Pembroke, is also rowing. Mr. Shaun, st_
of Trinity, was the winner of the University sculls in 1866,
whilst Messrs. Buckley and Hopkineoa, of Christ's, and a&
Messrs. Hetherington, of Trinity, Bourne, of St. John's, 100
and G. E. Wright. of Pembroke, have all given effective 100
aid to their respective college boat clubs. Cricket, too, 100
has its representatives in Mr. Lloyd, of St. John's, the 100
well-known Rugby cricketer, who may possibly find a place 10
in the " University Eleven" of 1868 ; Mr. Duguid, of a
Trinity, Mr. Hogg, of Christ's, and Molars. Bayley and 10
Watson, of Jesus. at
At the " Union" Society, too, the mathematical men at_
have not be idle. Mr. Moulton, the senior wrangler,
often takes an active part in the debates, and is at Ve;
present a candidate for the office of vice-president. Mr. 'ea
I:igg, of Trinity, has filled the office of secretary, and Dlr. se.
Whiteley, of St. John's, occupies at this time the post of A&
president. The Hon. A. R. D. Elliot, of Trinity, is the tt.
president of the Amateur Dramatic Club, and the Hon. F. 92
G. L., also of Trinity, being secretary. In athletic
Ice
sports we have Mr. Thornton, of Jesus, who is great at la
throwing the hammer ; Mr. Stuns, of Peterhouse, a well. e&
known and successful runner • Mr. Whiteley, who so et.
pluckily won the University walking race ; and Mr. Airy, 10
of Trinity, who has distinguished himself in more than ..,8$••
one branch of this department. To complete this list we re•
may mention the fact that Mr. Tomlinson, of Trinity, is
is
captain of the 4th company, and Mr. Sparkes, of St. it
John's, ensign of the 2nd company of the University M.
Volunteer Ride Corps.
In the Law Tripes were the names of Mr. Payne, of
Trinity-ball (bracketed senior in honours), who is well
known as one of the principal speakers at the Union and
vice-president of that moiety ; Mr. Gray, of Trinity-hall,
who has distinguished himself in athletic sports ; and Mr.
Pain, also of Trinity-ball, who has earned distinction as
energetic oar on the river.
