Annual St ' HscRiPTioN , --- 50 cents. 1 — The Trinity term is perhaps the busiest, as well as the pleasantest, of the year. For many it has a pleasure tinged with regret from the thought that it is the last they will spend under the roof where they have made many a friend and spent many a happy day, and for others who have never been here for a summer term it is a revela- tion that more than compensates for the necessarv dulness of the winter months. So far this term we have nothing very special to chronicle. As usual several are going in for the University and the R. .M.C Exams, and we hope they may win honour for their School and for themselves. The School Exams, will begin about the 21st or 22nd of June, and we would remind all that, even if they have not used their time to advantage, there are still three weeks and much may be done in them. Trinity term, too, is the cricket term, which means much atT.C.S., though, unfortunately, we have hardly had as successful a season, up to the present, as we could have hoped for ; but failures must not dishearten us. The eleven is improving steadily, and in our next number we hope to tell a different tale. There is lots of talent; hard work is all we need, and who would not work to win a victory for the School in the great matches of the year ? It is pleasant to be al)le to announce an increase in numbers this term, which we hope will be more than maintained in September. May we be allowed to .say a few words about the School grouiuls and the duly lying on everyone to do his share in keeping them tidy ? Certainly there has been a marked improve- ment in that respect this term, but there is still room for more, particularly in front of the School. Orange peel, photograph plates, an occasional sponge or ink bottle, news[)apers and envelopes may be a pleasing form of garden decoration in some parts of the country, but our tastes are, as yet, hardly educated to such giddy heights. ' Ihe ties, too, now in vogue are liable to scorch the grass rather than to act as a fertilizer, and we have failed so far to see the beauty, much less the usefulness, of pieces of stick, stones and candy bags on a cricket ground. How- ever, the man who sharpens the mowing machines may possibly give us some infor- mation on this point. Seriously, though, let everyone do his best to keep the grounds tidy. We are proud of our buildings, grounds and situation, let the pride take a practical form. We are requested to state that tlie sum of $20.46, which was collected to put up the names of the Prefects in the Prefects ' study, and which the Head Master has held for some vears, has been handed over in trust to the Treasurer of the O.H.A. The sum is totally inadequate for the purpose for which it was intended, but possibly it may be augmented, and the names then put up. We wish to draw the attention of Old Boys to the dates of the School matches. Ridley is at Rosedale on Friday, June loth ; U ' C.C, at Port H )pe on June 25th. .At both of them we hope to see a goodly num- ber of Old r.oy.s. The xi play in Hamilton on June i ith. We had hoped to jirint the first of a series of articles on the history of the School in this number, hut Dr. Osier, who has promised to write it, was unable to finish it in lime.

Roys ' match, unless he was away from Can- ada; he has come down to coach our xv ' s for us ; to him in great measure was due the success of the O. li. dinner last January, and he has been a member of the Executive ( ( the O.H.A. since ' 95. He carries with him our bast wishes for his success and happiness. In a recent Guardian we noticed a fav- ourable review of Rev. A. J. Belt ' s ( ' 74- ' 76) book, ' ' From Jerusalem to Jerusalem ; on which we congratulate him. J. (). Browne ( ' S - ' gj) stood first in the re- cent examination held for candidates for Holy Orders by the Bishop of Manchester. A. D. Strathy ( ' 9o- ' 96) has left the Traders ' B.tnk and goes into a stockbroker ' s office. We have to thank him for forwarding Dibb ' s letter to us and we only wish that others would follow his e.xample. M. S. McCarthy ( ' 83- ' 9o), one of our most loyal Old Boys, is practising law at Stratford in partnership with J. Idington, Q C. D. McM. Rogers ( ' SS- 92) and E. S. Senkler ( ' 87- ' 94) are pursuing the same profession at Victoria and Brockville. Several more Old Boys have gone or are going to the Klondyke. V. M. Ogilvie ( ' gi) has gone as guide to a party. J. S. Cart- wright ( ' 9o- ' 93) and E. Evatt ( ' 72- ' 73) have also started. We wish them all success in their (juest. L. M. Lyon ( ' cS5- ' 93) has returned from England and is now in Toronto. A. L.

K. McLaren ( ' 86- ' 92) has been gazetted lieutenant in the xiii Battalion — his father ' s regiment. If the McLarens only do as well by their regiment as by their School they will add lustre to an already distinguished body. We are glad to be able to say that E. F. I ' uUen ( ' 96- ' 97) has recovered from his accident last term. All of us miss his bright face and wish he were back with us once more. R. P. Jellet ( ' 93- ' 97 ) has been appointed to the staff of the Bank of Montreal at Brantford. WHISHT 502E¥Et , DEALERS IN ' ALL KINDS OF HARD ■S,-f COAL, WOOD, SALT, COAL OIL, c.

i.S TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD. Rvidfiitly the words in our last numher anuiil .subscriplions have had an effect, for tlie Treasurer tells us that he has received botne 50 or 60 subscri[)tioiis since April. This is satisf;ictory, but we hope to have a slill larger number to atld to our list before the suninier closes. Among others we have to acknowledge a very generous subscription of $ 5.00 from Dr. Wni. Osier of John ' s Hopkins University. Among the list of Birthday Honours was one which must place the recipient in an almost uniciue position among Head .Masters. We refer, of course, to the (J. .Vl.Ci. conferred upon Dr. Parkin, and we beg to offer him and U. C. C. our hearty congratulations. Those who heard his speech at the C). B. dinner are not likely to forget it soon, and we re-echo his words that the two Schools, instead of being rivals, are working on the same lines to a common end. We regret to announce that Mr. May is leaving us this term to resume parochial work. Since he has been at T. C. S. he has made many friends, especially among the smaller boys, by his kindness and his interest in them and their pursuits. Ihe Camera Club, too, will miss a clever and enthusiastic member. He rakes with him the School ' s best wishes for his success and a warm wel- come will always await him here. Just as we go to press the news comes that the honour of F.R.S. has been conferred on Dr. Wm. Osier, our most distinguished Old Boy. We congratulate him most heartily. TRINITY COLLEGE LETTER. To ihe Editor of ihe TKt.siTV C ' lLMiGE School Reo kd. Mv De. r Sir, — It is hard to realize that a goodly portion of the best of all terms at Trinity has already become as a tale that is told ; with a hideous lime-table, a veritable pest-sign, staring at us from the notice boards, it is somewhat easier to grasp the idea that we are confronted once more by the Kxams., that inevitable and tragic con- clusion to the Kaster term ' s enjoyment. We should like every T. C. S. hoy to see Trinity now, that he might be im))ressed by the prospects of what the Alma Mater can give her sons. It is impossible lo exaggerate the natural beauties of our surroundings, — the campus, ravine, and flower-decked ter- races. Tile Queen ' s Birthday passed off very successfully, the cricket match with Toronto being, of course, the main feature of the day ' s amusements. In the afternoon we had an orchestra on the terrace, which also pro- vided music for an informal and jolly dance in Convocation Hall from five to seven o ' clock. Quite a number of people came out notwithstanding the attraction of the races and in the evening we had a display of rockets and fireworks. Our n.xet cricket match is on Thursday, June 2nd, with U.C.C to be followed by the ' arsity match on Saturday on Varsity ' s campus. . Mready we have played six matches, viz. — Woodbine C.C., St. Alban ' s C.C., Parkdale C.C., Toronto C.C., Hamilton C.C. and T.C.S. C.C. The first eleven are loud in their praises of the trip to Port Hope and the good hospital- ity extended them by masters and boys. It is such jaunts as these that bring the College and the School into closer touch, making still stronger the bonds of fellowship already existing between us. The last few sets in the tennis tournament are now being played off and the results will soon be known ; the courts are in good con- dition and there has been more tennis this term than for some seasons past. Golf has relapsed for the time being but will probably be taken up again as we have very fair links. The College loses several good men in the graduating class of ' 98 but we are glad to know that a number will remain with us to pursue their studies in divinity. On June ist we are anticipating a rare Ueat in the coming of Mr. Oilbert Parker, whose advent is doubly ap[)reciated by us as Mr. Parker is a Trinity man of whom we are all most justly proud. His subject is to be ' The Art of Fiction instead of The High- est Education as first announced. Outside of cricket, tennis and the wails attendant upon the nearness of Exams., there is little to chronicle so our letter this time must of necessity be brief. With best wishes for all success. Most sincerely yours, Trinity Coi.lecie.
