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.

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.

22 THE ASHBURIAN Cox Cup — R. Labatt, 204 out of 250. (Juniors.) Scot Cup — C. Hamilton, (Senior Indoor Rifile Shooting, 2 special matches, 180 out of 200.) © ® © CONFIRMATION SERVICE A Confirmation Service was held in the school Chapel by Dr. Roper, Bishop of Ottawa, on April 21. The Bishop gave a very inspiring and solemn address, his remarks being chiefly directed to those boys who were being presented for confirmation. Several of the parents of the candidates were present at the service. The following boys were prepared and presented by the Rev. F. Brewin and the Headmaster. G. Beardmore. G. Heney. R. Evans. W. Philpot. S. Woods. M. Young. © © © EXTRACTS FROM AN OLD BOY ' S LETTERS The following extracts have been taken from letters received by the Headmaster from Paul Drummond while on his way to the Front. Many boys will remember Paul and read the following with interest. The Editor reg rets, that owing to lack of space, the letters cannot be printed in full. Very little sleep last night. As usual the old girl rolled and plunged and went around in circles. It was simply terrible. At breakfast this morning you would try and place a piece of food in your mouth and the boat would give a lurch and you would feed the person across from you, or shove it into the salt cellar or something else. You see the boat is changed from side to side to cause a zig-zag motion so that the subs cannot get a good position for a torpedo. We are all feeling more satisfied this morning owing to the fact that eight T.B.D ' s are with us. They are certainly great little boats. They all came up to the sterns of the different vessels for their issue of rum, which is thrown over the stern of the boat on a long rope.
