Again this year, by kind permission of Colonel Vincent McKenna and officers of the 5th BC. Regt., the Bugle band of their Regiment played during the inspection for which we are very gratef ful. The weather was very cold, but in spite of the inclement weather, many parents and friends witnessed the inspection. The inspection started punctually, Capt. R. L. Mitchell, GSO. iii Cadets took the salute at the reviewing point and the inspection followed. After that the Corps was handed over to the Cadet officers and platoon Sgts. for Company and platoon drill. Following this the Ist Aid, Senior and junior Signallers, were tested. The Corps then fell in for the 2nd part of the Ceremonial, marched past in columns of platoons and columns of fours reforming for the final general salute. The Corps then counter marched after which they moved off to dismiss on their own parade ground. The Inspection finished with a very good display of outdoor gymnastics by the 1st and 2nd VIII. At the conclusion, the inspecf ting officer addressed the Corps telling them it had been the best inspection of the Corps he had seen. All ranks are to be congratulated for winning the BC. Provf incial Championship 1937f3S. We have not yet heard, as we go to press, the result of the 193869 Inspection but we all hope we did well enough to retain the Cup for the second year. The I.O.D.E.

A PAPER VVEIGHT.-Dalzieli was too strong for Carle ii, who was much younger and less experienced than his opponent. FLY WCEIGHT.-Dalziel iii won a very close decision over Gibbs. Both boys boxed really well and deserve congratulation. BANTAIVIS.-lvlclntosh won from Maurer after a very lively bout. FEATHERS.-North fought NVinslow who took the place of Dalziel ii, who had a damaged hand. Both boys boxed with skill and courage, North being especially conspicuous for his clever fighting.
