Godfrey Wenman won the Old Boys race with A. McPherson and E. Teagle, second and third respectively. Also the 0. B. relay team, invincible during the past two years, was defeated in an excellent race by the School team com' posed of jeanneret, jones i, Huff and Hunter. When the events were completed, the Headmaster welcomed the guests and expressed his gratitude for their presence and support. F. E. Winslow, chairman of the board of governors, spoke briefly on the increased numbers at the school due mainly to Mr. Scarrett's able management and sound policies. The prizes were then presented by His Honour judge P. S. Lampman, making, as he did so, a very instructive and appropriate speech for the occasion. He stressed the fact that in all sports the main thing is not whether you win or lose but the emulation you possess. Also the training and discipline nec' essary to gain any athletic achievement is of inestimable value. He ended by quoting the following well known verse: And when the one Great Scorer comes, To write against your name, He writes not if you won or lost, But how you played the game.
