T1rn prcsPnt football t<'1u11 is, undoubtPClly, one of the best that Nc•wington has hatl for smiw yeai·s, and WP confess to a vpry nit! ural foeling of gmtilitation at thP succesRPR achieved hy them, 1•speci:dly clul'ing tlw lfrst half of the season. Unfortu nately, thr infiue1w~1. PpidPmic interfPrPd with what wp had hoped would he an unbroken series of successes. But in any ea.se, whether we win or lose the imprnding match against oui· old friends, the King's School, we sha.11 all have reason to fe<'l proud that the member:; of the tea.m have workerl so well to!{ether to lift Newington to the supreme position which slw hrld in this branch of school life some few srasons hack. Too much praise also cannot be givrn to M '" Buchanan for his indefatigable eoaching. \Vith the rrturn of warnH'r weathe1" football will U<' laid aside in fan»1: of crickPt, and ther<> is Pve1·y rrason t-0 hop1• tlll\t the rnergy itnd teimcity which lmvc> hf'c>n displayed in football, will be dirt>cted towards maintainin~ tlw high stancl:ml which was 1·c>ache<l hy our aicket warn dul'ing thr last st•ason.

'!'REI<-: PLANTING.

LAST year a. number of trees were pla.nted by distinguished persons con­nected with the College a.long the southern sicle of the drive that leads from the lodge ga.te. On the 21st August, 1894, a similar ceremony took place. Half-past three having been rung out by the bell, the whole school assembled along the sa.me drive. We were all there : the President, the Hencl Master, the masters, and the various forms, the pa.rt assigned to the majority of us being to see that each tree was properly planted, that the ma.gic formula prescribed by the President was correctly repeated by each of the honoured inclividunls, and to indicate our satisfaction by cheering as loudly as our boyish voices would allow. The holes which had been dug out and refilled with fine soil in place of the clay, were along the northern side. Some small trees-speci· mens of the New Zealand Plum and the Illawarra Flame Tree- were lying close handy. "George Cowlishaw," called out the Head M&ster, and George, stepping forward, began to shovel out some of the earth. Enough being out, George planted his tree. "Take hold of the tree," ea.id the President to him, and George, taking hold, repeated after him certain words, doubtless intended to have a magical effect upon the growth of the tree. These were, "I declare this tree to be well planted. May the sun shine on it, the rain water it, the soil nourish it; may it grow up in beauty and strength, an omameut in future times, a memento to future generations." This bei11g said, "Hip, hip, hooray," called out the Presi· dent, "Hip, hip, hooray," shouted we, and moved off towards the next hole. R. Miller was the next man. A similar ceremony was gone through for Miller's tree, with a variation in the formula. : also for those planted by H. \\'. Anderson, G. Harker, C. ::5hortland, G. Webb, and E. A. Palmer. At this stage, the President, turning roun1l, addressed to Kolo etrange sounds not capable of intcrpre~tio11 by the majority of us, lmi

presumably expressive of an invitation to come and do as th'! others bad done. Kolo replied in terms, which, in the absence of precise information, we took to indicate protestation against having this greatness thrust upon him. But without avail. So down he came from his eminence (he had been standing on the rising ground) aucl planted his tree, conclutling with a version of the magic formula, which for length arnl fearsomene~s of sound will doubtless be rewarded by extra. luxuriance of the tree"s foliage. Last tree of all, that ends this uneventful history, was that plante<l by Mrs. Moulton. Then the Prcsi1lent stood forth on the rising ground a111l spoke briefly. He said that he Imel wished the HeMl Ma~tcr to add1·e~s us, but had been prevailed upon to do so himself. He took the greatest interest in this tree plt~nting. The treel! would in time grow up MHl form l\ beautitul shady walk for the boys, and the 1mmes of those who lrn1l planted them would be known and spoken by their succe~sors iu the school. He wouldn't trouble us with the scientific names of the trees: anv who were anxious to know them could easily learn them from the Hca1l !\foster. At some distant date, those who had that day pl:rntecl trees migltt 1·eturn an<l point with pride to the trees with which tncir tntneti were a.<socit\ll'11. And a similar honour was in store for thotie of the younger hoy~ prc••1·11t who in the future distinguished themseh·es at the school.

One morning I received a formidable looking official Jetter marked, O.H.M.S., in which I was asked to be good enough to proceed to the euphonious locality of Mom bra\\ urra to take charge of the Public Hcbool there. It may seem absurd, but l bad not the remotest idea \1 here Mom­brawurm w11.s; in fa.et, like most people, I had never even imagined that such a place existed. However, after cousulting the letter aiiain, I found that the nearest post-towu was Dunclle. Fortunately, a friend of mine knew some people at the aforesaid Dundle, and very kindly lf&ve me a letter to them, and also wrote to tell them that I was coming. 'lhe follow­ing Friday found me in the train bound for Tamworth, 250miles1rnay, where I was to leave the railway and strike eastward to Dunclle. Next day I started in the coach for a forty miles' drive. As it was warm weather this was rather enjoyable. \Ve arrived about 3 iu the afternoon, and I found a gentleman waiting at the Post Office for me. Uundle was formerly a rich gold mining district, and even now a little golcl is found at Happy Valley and Hanging Rock; places in the vicinity. ~ly friend wa.s kind enough to drive me out to my new home, which was twelve miles away, right in the heart of the mountains. After about an hour's driviug we ea.me to the school, which wll.8 about the size of a large omnibus, and after another lmlf-mile we ~ame to Gallagher's farmhouse, where [ was to li\•e. This was the nearest house to the school, the others being from two to three miles away. The children used to riclo doublebank or treblebank to school. After introducing me to Mr. and Mrs. U., my fric11d left me and returnecl to Dundle. It would take too Jong to recount the \'arious peculiarities of "Mick :ancl the Missus," as my host and hostc~s were familiarly called by the neighbours. Suffice it to say that the only classical character thl.\t at all resemblecl the Missus was Xautippe, and if the lattet· was as bacl as the Missus then I am iucliued to think that poor Hocrates took poison on account of domestic reasons, ancl not tho~c comm<rnly related in history. Her tongue was on the wag all clay ancl half the night, and she could remember all so1·ts of trivial thiugs, such a.s the clay and hour when " Miathres.s Flanagan bought a pair of boots at the store for • Pat, about twenty-live years ago." ·what used to am1oy me mo~t though, was her habit of recounting the good deeds of my predecessors, till at last I began to think that it was of 110 use trying to be like one of those "perfect beings," seven of whom I may su.y had imccccdcd one another in the short apace of four years or so. Their motto must have been : " Brief life is here our portion," and I was no exception to the rule, for I only stayed there six months. )lick, however, was a. very clecent old fellow; who hacl lost an eye in his younger days in an alt~m:atiou with a Tipperary boy, as he informed me once. If he Jived in a city, and went into society, he would probably be known as "Mrs. Gallagher's husband," seeing that tlrn good lady was by far the better half. Mick and I becnmc very goocl frieuds, and I was quite sorry to part when the time came.

The school was built on a sort of peninsula, formed by the windings of the creek, and on wet days the children could not cross the creek, as there was no bridge except a. log, which was covered when the creek rose, and consequently I used to have a holiday nearly every time it rained. The school and the farmhouse were both on the same side of the creek. The children ranged from five to fifteen years, and their attainment~ were over a similar ran~e ; but I never saw children anywhere "ho took such an interest in their work, and really it was a pleasure to teach them ; which remark, nnfortuuately does not always apply to their town cousins. After school I used to put in time fishing ancl shooting Lory p:irmt~. Thes" parrots macle tertible hM·oc in the majzc field~, and sometime,; t lwy "ou l<l

perch 011 the ~cat'<·crows, and pass derisive remarks about the " Ilonw •apie1i'" that erected the said dummies. I think the funniest events dur­ing my stay there, were the wakes, and later on the funerals. I hope I will not shock anybody by saying so, but I really used to enjoy ~oing to a bush funeral, or rather the rcturu from such a ceremony. Everybody go<'s, women ancl a.ll ; some of the women carry a baby in one arm, anrl hold the reins and an umbrella in the other, and ~hey generally wear bright flowers in their hats for some occult reason or other.

'Vx Me glad to report an increase in the ranks, as well as a much more orderly spirit. There have been no bad reports of any member durin~ the past term, ancl considering the many interruptions the Corps has been ~nbject to, especially through the influenza epidemic, we can pronounce a satisfactory state of things.

We must now ask all members of the Rifle and Carbine Club to exert themselves to the utmost to ensure a tirst-class team to represent us in the Shield match. For the next six weeks every thing in the sports' line ahould be subordinated to the shooting. Two or three hoys turning up for practice on Saturday mornings will do nothing in the way of developing a. winning team. But for those few who did make an effort, we will say tho.t had a.II the caD<lidates for a place in the team shown the same spirit, victory woulcl be certain. It is to be hoped that no more appeals will be necessary to secure a full attendance at the Range. The team will probably be selectecl from the followin!.(: - Miller, Andreas, Husby, Howman, A. Baird, '1'. Baird, Wehb, Tonkin, CJowlishaw, Campbell, White, Jeflrey, and one or two new boys.

'FOOTBALL.

OuR team of •g4 fully realised the high expectations formed of it Ly defeating all Schools in the first round of the Badge Mafohes. We scored i6 points against 8. In these matches no schoolboy crossed our line, the points ag<1.inst us being obtained by field goals. We think that we would have been as successful in the second round but for the influenza which prevented six of our team from playing agaiu~t King's School- four of the tirst fifteen and two of the second team who would have filled up the vacancies in the forwards.

The first match of the season between Kin~'s School and Newington College was played on May 30th o.t the University Oval in the presence of about 2,000 spectators, and o.t last the long list of victories for the King's School was broken, o.s Newington won decisively by 19 points to 4. The winners had a heavier team, and used their weight to advantage. In the first half the game was even being confined chiefly to the forwards. The fir~t score was made by Eb~worth for the School ; he took a mark near the

Uowlishaw made some good dashes which Williams stopped. l'unningham rau well, cloMe to the line, nnd long scrimmages resulted in the 8chool territory; l\fanchee, King, anrl l!:bsworth relie\'ing.

The Riverview fonrnrds came with 11 great rui;h, and Newington were confined to their 2.) for ~ome time ; hut nt last Cunningham relieved by a good kick The :\'c" ingt.on forwards put in some goo.I work, n111l kept the ball well over half.way.

After half-time the play was chiefly conlined to Riverview ter­ritory. Cunningham made 1~ good run do\\ n the wing, and crossed the liuc, but he waM calle1l J,.~ck for going out of bounds. The Newiugton back clivision still atta.cketl, and Cowlidhaw, getting the ball a.bout half. way, ran through the Hivcrview team, and score<l second try for Newing· ton. No goal resulted. There was no more scoring during the match.

Newington College tlefoated Sydney Grammar :::>chool at the Oval on June 6th. The wet ground and slippery state of the ball spoilt the open play of the Newiugton team. The- gl\lllC was chiefty confined to the

Tus NEWINGTONIAN. 87

forwards, who workc<l very well ;•especially Harris, Bowman, a.nd Webb for Newington; a.ml Hinchey and Buchanan for Sydney Gramma.r School. Shortly after the kick-off the College forwards worked the ball into the School 2.3, and Harris, dribbling over the line, scored first try for Newing­ton ; Cunningham added the extra 2 points. Play wa.s then confined to the 8chool 2.3, where u. free kick was a.warded against them, from which Cunningham kicked a. go,~!. .Mc:'.\iahon receh-ed a pass from White, a.nd ran as far a.s the College 2.3. 1folesworth feinted his pa.ss, and ran well down the ground, pnssiog on to Bowma.n, who took the ball into the School territory. Harris dribbled away from some open play, and scored eecood try for Newingtou; no goa.l resulted. Just before half-time one of the School tca.m was hurt a.nd had to retire. In the second half Cowlishaw rccci,•ed the kick-off, and ran down the centre of the ground. When tackled by White he pas.•ed the ball out to Harris, who, in tum, sent it on to Bowman, who was brought down just on the line. The School relieved by a useful punt, and the College had to defend for some time; White and India attacking strongly. Molesworth relieved his side by a ~ood run. The .College forwards came with a. rush, but dribbled over the hoe, and a force resulted. J effrey made a good kick at goal, the ball just going outside, and the School forced. Cowlishaw made a good run through the School team, but lost the ball before he crossed the line. Cunningham did some good work along the win~, but the tackling of White and Inglis was too good, and no further scormg wa.s done.

The Second a.nd Third teams met on the same day, and Newington won both matches. The Second Fifteen by 21-0, and the Third by 7-0.

Newington College met the Chu1·ch of England Grammar School at North Shore Oval on Wednesday, June 13th, and defeated them by 46 points to 4. Newin~ton attacked strongly, and kept the School team on the defence most of the tune. The special features of the game were the fast and open play of the College forwards, a.nd the passing and feinting of Molesworth at quarter. The School team was greatly out-cla.ssed, but played a. plucky game till the last, especially Holtemau, Osborne, and Rundle. Shortly after the kick-off Busby scored first try for Newington. No goa.l W1<8 kicked. Cowlisha.w received the kick out and ran into the School 2.5, where be was stopped by Rundle. The College forwards took the ba.11 on, ancl some good passing ended in Bowman crossing the line. The kick at the goal failed. One of the School forwards, who was playing a very good game, twisted his knee and ha.d to retire. Harris took the ball by 8 good dribble to the School back, who made a. feeble return, which was marked by Molesworth, and Cunningham kicked a goal. Soon after Cowlisha.w passed half-way across the ground to Cunnin~ham, who had a. clear run in, the extra points being added by the kick. Cunningham received the kick out, and dropped a very good goal. The School played with great detem1i· nation after half.time, but could not last against their heavier opponents. Cowlisha.w ma.de a good run clown the centre, and when tackled, passed to Jeffrey, who touched down between the posts. Cunningham kicked the goa.1. Tries were added in quick succession by Molesworth, Harris, a.nd Cowlisha.w, but no goals resulted. The School rallied and took the ball into Newington territory chie6y by the agency of Rundle, Osborne, and Twynham. Wilson marked nncl placed for Rundle who kicked a tine $0&.I. The College forwards took the ball on to the School line, and Williams crossed. Busby kicked the goal. From a line out Hicks took the ball, and feinting the pass dashed over. ,No goal resulted. Rundle ma.de two very fine runs, ancl in one case got right ou the Newington goal line, where

he was thrnwn into touch by Arnott. '.01e ball was quickly taken back to the School's territory, and Bowman scored again for Newington. Busby kicked thll goal. Mr. Stockham was referee.

The Second and Third fifteens played ou the same day. Second Newington won by 48 toll. The Third Grammar won by 13 to 8.

Newington College and Sydney Grammar School met at the Agricultu­ral Ground on Wednesday, August 8th, when Newit1gton won by 19 points to 3. Shortly after starting some good passing among the College forwat·ds enabled Bowman to score. Cunningham missed the goa.I, and slow play ensued. Ral)Onc picket! up from a loose scrum and ran well, and when tackled he sent on to Rowman, who, in his turn, passed to Campbell, who scored second try for Newington. Cunningham kicked the goal. The 1'chool, hcaclcd by Inglis, Hinchey, and Ruchiman, put in some good work, and carried the hall to the College 25. The College forwards worke<l it back, \\·ebb, Rahone, and Bowman heing conspicuous. No further scoring was done in this half. In the second half Inglis kicked off, and the pla.y was confined to the College 2.3, Buchanan, Inglis, and Mack playing well for the 8chool, and Wehb, Cuuuiugham, and Busby for the College. At last one of the School forwards crossed the line, but no goal resulted. The play became more open, and Newington soon bad the School in difficulties. Cunningham ma1le a good run down the wing. and crossed the line, hut wa8 called back for going out of bounds. Soon 1\fter, Rowman scored again for Newington, and Cunningham kicked the goal. The play was then confined to the l:ichool's 25. Iuglis and Goult! defended excellently, but were unable to stop ('owlishaw, who scored near the posts. No goal was kicked from the try. Just before time was called Cowlishaw ran well, and scored again for Newington. The second and third teams played on the s:i,me day. Newington won the seconcl match by 19 points to 3. The Urammar School won the third match by 34 points to 0.

\Ve met Kin?r'S School at Parramatta on August l.3th, and, as we all. expected, were ddeated easily. Four of the first team were down with influenza ; and to make matters worse, Hlasson and Davies, who would have filled the vacancies in the forwards, went down also. The first part of the g~me waR very monotonous, there being a eeries of scrimmages in which neither side had much advantage. Manchee sent a long pass to Williams, who ran round and scored for King's. Soon after Harris took the ball away from the scrum, anrl dribbling past the King's School hack di vision, fell on the ha.II o,·er the line. Everyone thought that it was a try, but the umpire decided otherwise. Williams scored the second try for King's by a good run. The ball was taken on to the King's School liue by the College forwards, and Rheridan fell over with two of the School for­wards on top of him, and a force was given. In the second half Suttor, Waugh, and Ebsworth put ill a good passing rush. Ebsworth fell over the line, hut the try was disallowed. From a scrimmage just near Manchee scored. Ebsworth kicked the goal. 8oon after Jacques scored for King's. Immediately after Manchee marked, and ;\lack taking the kick scored a good gmLl. The whistle then sounded, leaving King's ~chool winners by 20-nil.

Newington College and St. Ignatius College played at ~tanmore 18th August, aml Newington won by 18 points to 0. Several prominent mem­bers of both teams were absent suffering from influenza. Riverview kicked-off, an<l Cunningham returner! along the boundary. Harris an1l Campi.Jell dribbled the ball away, but th.P rush was well stopped by Fitz.

Hhortly after a free kick was gh-en a.ga.mst Riverview, an1l Cunningha.m kicked another go'l.1. O'Brien and Fitzpatrick took the ball into the Newington 25. The Riverview for­wards carried the scrimmage, and looked like scorini:. but Fox stoppc1l the rush. Cunningham relic1•cd his side hy a good kick out ,.t half wa.y. Miller got the b:\ll, and running through the Riverview backs, scored behi111l the posts. Cunningham kicke1l the goal. :.tolesworth ma.de a. goo1l feinting run, pa'"cd to Ro•eby, who took the ball on. The Ri1•crview forwa.rds worke1l it back, a.nd Cunningham returned out of bounds. Some good p~•sing among the ~ewington forwards enabled Horris to cross the line, but he was called hack for a. throw forward. Soon after Miller croRscd the line nn<l score<! again for Newington. No goal resulte11. Riverview, following on their kick, kept Newington on the defensive for some time. The 1\cwington forw:.nl- carried the hall to the centre. Cun­ninglmm received the hall, and cmletl a good l'lltt by sending the ba.ll out a.t the corner flag Hhcridan got the ball, and falling over the line scored third try for Newington. Time was called soon after.

Newington College and Church of England Grammar Hchool met at the Agricultural Oround on Thnniday, August 2:lrd, when Newington won hy 12 point.• to 3. Newington were without the services of five of their first tea 11 owing to influe1wt. During the first half the game was even, both si<les scoring :J points ; hut in the seco1ul half the running and passing of the Uollcge team were too good fol' their opponents, although they defemle<l excellently. A strong wind was blowing acros~ the ground, aud it kept the hall ou the touch-line nearly all the first half. Molesworth feinted his pt\S~ mail got 1iway from the 8chool forwards, and when tackled he passed to Williams who croRSed the line. Cunningham made a good attempt at goal. Just before ho.If-time the Hchool forwards got on n drib­bling rnsh, and, cMrying the ball over, scored. An easy goal was misse11. The Newington team worked very hard during the second half, as they knew tha.t they mubt win to harn a final nmtch against King's School; and it was not long before some good passing among the forwarrls ended in Bowman scoring. No goal resulted. Soon :.fter a free was gi1·en against the Hchool for off-side, and Cunningham kicked the goal. The Hchool for­wards carded the ball to the Newington 2;;, but Roseby returned out of bounds at half-way. Cowlishaw ran well clown the centre and passed to Cunningham, who was well tackle1l by Roseby. The College forwards took the ball on, a.ncl Harris scored thit·d try for Newington. No goal resulted.

FooTBALL Im~ t\h~ol'bed the t\ttention of t11l boys to such an extent during the last few months th:\t tlw most enjoyahle of out-door games h"8 ha.cl to give way to it. Hanlly a. boy will condescend to play tennis, and when he docs so condescend, he merely strolls on to the court with his coat and hoot.:; on anc.1 knocks balls al.out in a lackadaisical manner. \Yhen we have a good asphalt court in the ~rounds it seems a great shame that more use is not mac.le of it; and tbe Tennis Committee, leeling this, has decided that iu the future only covered halls will be used, so that those who may be too fastidious to use the uncovered ones, can in the. future have the very be.t

of everything rea.dy for their use. To ena.ble the Athletic Club to meet the increased expenditure, which will result from the Tennis Club using covered balls, the Committee has decided to charge one shilling extra for memb1irship of the Tennis Club. Thus, a. boy who wishes to play tennis will have to p>~y two shillings and sixpence a qua.rter to the Athletic Club, and one shilling a qua.rter to the Tennis Club. It is safe to say that the Newington College Tennis Club is one of the cheapest clubs to join in this Colony, a.nd every boy in the school should embra.ce the opportunity of learning to pla.y tennis at such a. low price. We shall have severa.I matches during the term, as well a.s a tournament among ourselves, so that by the end of the half.year we should be ahle to send a tennis tea.m out from Newington as capable of defending the honour of the school &a the football and cricket teams of the past have been.

The old Newington Tennis Team, which last year won the first prize in the C class Lawn Teuuis Trophy Matches, is ago.in distinguishing itself this year in the B class. They have entered two teams in the competition, and the A team is, at the moment of writing, lea.ding for first prize by u. majority of about 60 games over the next team, ancl as they have only two more matches to play, it seems almost certain that they will ho the winners of the trophy in the B class this year. The 0.Ns. in the A team a.re S. Druce and C. Newman, Curtis and Warren. 'fhe former pair a.re also leading for the prize of two Tate racquets offered to the pair winning the highest number of games in their class, while the second place is occupied by Curtis a.nd Warren. The boys at present at school should set to work at tennis and try and produce players who will be capable of ta.king pa.rt in future years with the O.N. team. We have much plea.sure in congratulating our old boys on their high position in the competition, and hope that nothing will occur to snatch from them the victory which is almost in their hands.

SCIENCE EXCURSION.

A SOIENO& expedition consisting of the Head Master, a. resident master, one prefect, and a crowd of boys set out for Como on August 13th. The da.y was all that could be desired, and as the train rattled ou its way to Como all hearts were merry. Through the open windows we caught glimpses of ferns a.nd stra.y wild-flowers that had clambered half.way down

' 'l'HE :N SWINGTO:\'IAN. 91

the emho.nkmcnts, indeed one yellow wilding seemed to nod its heo.d in fa.rewell as we dashed into the do.rk of a short tunnel. But soon we reached our destination, and there lay George's River gleaming beneath the morning sun. So beautiful was the sight of the water with its reflected cloud sh11.dows and its lovely colour8, purple aud green aud blue, tho.t we lingered before we rclucto.ntly began to climb the hills ancl botanise. Then we found that we had left the be.rnty of the river only to behold the charms of the woodlands, o.nd stand face to face with the loveliness of Spring. How the wild-flowers had thronged forth to "dedicate their bco.uty to the snn "-Grtl'illw.•, 'l'ecO'TIUlJ!, Dampierrn<, and a. score of others whose names arc hard to remember. Here growing in clusters, there hauging their solitary blooms, sometimes nestliu~ in the shade of she-oaks, often peering over gra:r rocks, tht:y filled the mmd with a thousand suggestions of youth and beauty. And all the while the west winds flung the sunbeams from leaf to leaf, and the shadows danced, o.ncl a fleet of white clouds in full sail sped across the blue sky. As we passed on our way Ja.ck o' Winter sang us a. sweet stre.in from the telegre.ph wire, but there was "nowinter in his song." Soon the younger boys had ge.thered bunches of flowers. Ot~ers were engaged in turning over loose boulders in the vain hope of discovering lizards, but the spot was unfo.vonrable, and only a few specimens were seen. Then we wandered a.long a somewhat rocky path o.doruecl at short intervals by flannel flowers sacred to the elfin crew (for their winter jerseys are woven from its blossoms), and descending the hill trod the curving banks of the estuary. Se\•era.l of the youthful members of the expedition were engaged in finding oysters, and they were tolerably successful. We then marched to the spot selected for the spreadi11g of our frug1il repast, and as the fresh morning air bad given an eclge to our appetites, we acquitted ourselves like valiant trencher-men. Near our noonday camp, which was under the shade of a large fig tree, were many turret shells, the inhabitants of which had long departed, but the music of the sea still liugered in each shell. Heaps of wild flowers, ~nthered by young hands, were placed on ea.eh side of our rustic dinner t1ible, and our eyes roved lazily over the broo.d stream tha.t stretched before us. After dinner two boats were hired, and we spent the afternoon on the river, the youngsters gaily tugging at the oar8. Reckless of keeping time the cager oarsmen thumped the water, caught crabs, and threw mini­ature showers upon the unfortunate passengers, while the helmsmau steered the boat in circles. Yet happier than the Argonauts we pursued our watery way. On the adjacent shore we saw many wattle trees in full bloom, their yellow blossom11 gleaming in the sunshine, more inviting than the fruit of the Hesperides, and far a.hove our heads the whistling eagle poised himself on powerful wings, while every few moments a. fish leaped from bis blue habitation to shine for a moment, then fa.ll like Icarus.

So the golden hours/a.ssed till the afternoon waned, e.nd we reached the land once more, an saw the white cloud of smoke cast by our approaching train. Then, lo.den with floral treasures, and richer by far with a harvest of beimtiful memories, we sang songs as we returned to the city.

MY FIRST AND ONLY MASTERSHIP.

MY no.me is Isaiah Blenkinsop, and I am naturally of a mild and somewhat retiring disposition, though when I am roused I terrify myself with the ebullitions of my wra.th. I had a. long, uneventful career a.t school, sa.ve

THE NEWI!'IGTONIAN.

that I usually got the prizes for arithmetic and algehm, a.ucl othot· branches of mathematil-s \\hile I was working my way t-0 the sixth form. At college I attended my coach's lectures regularly, <uvl was never known to miss an opportunity of u.tten.ling college-chapel. Indeecl, some witty fellow said I was training for the position of college dean, so as to get my half-sovereign for every service a.t which I wu.s presc~nt. After ttiking lllJ' de$1ree as a high wrangler, I wag appointed Cltrate of J.1ilkington.cum HoftiE' ; but through circumstances over which I Jm.d n<> control-that is, the jealousy felt by some of the parishioners towards u. man of comman­ding intellect in their midst, and a cert:.in fastness which calle<l my bermons ~low-I was compullcd to look to the teaching profos~ion for a livelihood. I had calculated imleed, I am i~lways calculating, because my geninij is mathematical, as I have cleady shown alret1dy-I had calculate1l on finding some c1uiet seminary where I might attach to myself a band of confiding boys who would look up to me as guide, philosopher, and friend. llut I had been so long away from school that I w11s afraid that I had lost some of that acquaintance with boy-life which seemed necessary for an usher to possess. Acoordingly, I read over and over again my olrl inked !\lld dog's. eared "Todhunters," that I might, if possible, bring back the olcl feelinl,'!! while I was grinding them for the first time. Then I read through the olcl stock of private letters which I receiver! during my l>\st year at school, in order to rP.call the feelings and thoughts of boys when at that susceptible age. Having done this, I flattered myself tlmt I had no further prepara­tion to make for my arduous duties except to reatl through one or two of those excellent stories of school-life which I Imel no doubt were a faithful mirror of boys' actual experiences 1\t school. Hut, when I read thctiC, I found no reference at all to ushers or u.ssistant-masters -except some that were either brutal or immoral. I had therefore no \'cry plea~<mt anticipa­tions as regards my future colleagues, the !U!sistant·mrtsters. Woul l you like to know howl got my first appointment? lu my last year at college I received a circular from MeHsrs Askin, (,abbitas, and Killik, who des­cribed themselves as able to supply masterships for men, an•l supply men for masterships. Afterwards, when I was leaving my curncy, I rcmem l>ered them, and from a list that they sent me I selected whu.t ~ccmecl I\ splen.lid chance-" \Yantecl, a. resident mt\thematical master, who shall also tench music and gymnastics; salary, £40 a yc,ur, with prospect of increase. Pokington <:rammar School." Now, as I Imel a practice of keeping up my five-finger exercise:; a.ud Mrs. Hemy's delightful little tunes, I felt easy on the score of music, and, though I have never been stroug in muscnhir development, I have a theoretical knowledge of gynmastics, which justified me in applying for the post. Imagine my excitement when I was the happy recipient of a letter, ch\ted August 4th, 1880 (tlmt date is stamped upon my brain), informing me that I was appoiutecl to the position of usher in Pokington Grammar School, at the princely salary of "£40 a year, with prospect of increase." I pass over the outfit which it was necessary for me to prepare, and which my aged mother (ble."8 her ! ) packed up in my four tru11ks, with many tears and prayers for her boy. I pass O\'Cr the long conversation I Imel with my practical papu., who shocked me bcyoml measure by saying he expected I would be a great tyrant, and use the cane in time as easily as my pen. "No, father,' I repliccl with dignity, "I dis­belie\'e in bodily chastisement on principle. J sht11l attach the clear hoys to me by such ties of affection that they will never need the cane." At this he gave a mild snort, and said, "I'd like to see a boy whom affection would keep from cutting his name on the desk, or for talking to his neigh­bour just as siience has been called." However, my father ha~ lo11g left school, and he cannot possibly know boyJ> better than I, so I didn't argue

TnE NEwJNGTONIAN. 93

the point any further. It was with many pangs that I left home, and, when I was nearing my destination in the train, I was ready to go straight back again into my home-sickness. For the last twenty miles of the journey, I had as companions in the carriage two tall young men, with a dark shade ou their upper lips, who were evidently regarding me with some interest. At last, one of them sai<l, "Ha-·e I the pleasure of addres­sing the Rev. I saiah Blinkiusop?" Upon my acknowledging the fact, he introduced himself and his companion as two of my fellow-masters--at least, they didn't say so, hut, 118 they said we shoulcl have the pleasure of working together, I took it for granted they were junior masters. As I e>.plaiued, in answer to their euquiries, that it was my first mastership, they were good enough to gi,·e to me the benefit of their own experience. From them I learnt tlmt Pokington Oram mar School was an old foundation, and that the boys had ccrtaiu customs differing from those of other schools, ond that a uew master usually took n week or two to learn them. They told me also that Dr. Tanner, the hea.<l·master was a man of golld inten­tions, but out of his mind 011 certain questions, ancl that the masters all good.naturedly humoured him, or else took 110 notice of his weakness. Onri point wns that he t~hmys wished to know if any boys were caught smoking; but the master.1 11e\·e1· dreamt oi telling, because the elder boys genera.lly smoked with them, and, if the doctor heard anything all(: spoke ahout it, the masters simply Amiled, a.nrl that pnt him iu goo<l temper at once. I told these two young gentlemen I was much obligctl to them for tlw information, and I h11cl no tlouht that it woul1l Ra\'O me a lot of awkward ­ness in having to learn theHc things. They further said that the clocto1· didn't helicve in boys hcinic pnnishecl, becH.US<' he t\tlvocatecl the attach· mcnt of the boys to the masters \Jy the sole power of affection. As thiH tallied exactly with my own views, J frlt 1lt•lightetl tlll~t 1 should ltt· in a congenial atmosphere, nml Ahould he a.hie to work ont my theories.

lh:AR Srn.-1 have recently been rending in the daily papers accounts of meetings of ex·stuclents of various schools in and around Sydney, and it seems to me a hrnientable fact that 110 such meeting of ohl Newingtou boys ever takes place.
