THE ASHBURIAN 19 TENNIS The tennis season which opened on the 20th, April, this year will long be remembered as an extra good one. Work was started on the courts in the early spring and thus by the 20th, both the ash and the grass courts were in first class condition. In the open singles Hamilton proved to be the winner with Evans I a close second. In the handicap doubles, Hamilton and Evans I were the Champions. The Woods brothers easily won the Intermediate tournament. Dewar and Minnes were the victors in the Junior tournament after a close play off with McDougall and Cavendish. W.H.W (§) © CLOSING DAY This year the closing day was on Tuesday, 11th June, We were exceedingly fortunate in having fine weather for the sports, but just as the speeches and prizegiving were over the rain began to come down. The sports began at 1.30 and the programme was very successfully gone through, Evans I and Valleau being the chief prize winners as was the case last year. When the sports were over everyone adjourned to the front lawn where the prizes were ready for distribution. The Headmaster first gave an sddress in which he made a general review of the year, mentioning the splendid record of the Old Ashbury Boys during the war. He then invited Col. Woods to speak, the latter gave a few words of advice to those who were leaving us. Mr, Burstall then spoke for a few minutes. After this Mrs. Woods presented the class prizes and Lady Violet Henderson the sports prizes. @ @ @ PRIZE LIST 1918 Form VI — 1. Hamilton 2. Mulligan. 3. Wanklyn. Form IV A-—1. Mclnnes. 2. Philpot. 3. Labatt.

THE DUKE OF CONNAUGHTS GYMNASTIC CUP The competition consisted of set excercises on the Running Vaulting Horse and voluntary exercises on the Parallel and the Horizontal Bars.

Hamilton. 4th. Evans II. 5th. Armstrong. The character of the work shown was of a much higher standard than that of last year. All the Competitors offered some well thought-out and nicely executed combinations of movements, including Upstarts, Rolls, Pump Swings, Seat Circles, Roll Balances, Clear Circles, Cuts and Hollow Back Lifts. The preparation for the contest has greatly improved the boys physically, and has been the means of stimulating the whole school in their work in the Gymnasium.
