24 THE ASHB URIAN Bell, Ritchie, Whitcher and Lang also completed the course, but not within the time limit. The cup was thus won by Perodeau, and the medal given for the fastest time by Scott. There were 26 entries, and of these 24 started. The absentees were Cann (holder of the cup) who, most unfortunately, was unable to compete owing to a recent operation ; and Thomas, a promising runner, who was sick. All of the runners are to be congratulated on turning out, with little preparation, especially as not a few did so apparently more in hope than in expectation of scoring a point in the House Competition. Perodeau has a strong free style and should improve still further. Gray made a most promising first appearance, and Robertson kept up well. With growing strength he should be able to maintain his position. Coristine I was fourth both in finishing order and in time taken, showing what he can do when he exerts himself. Wilson III did well, for a short distance runner; but Elwood dropped four places from last year. Bates II and Scott, who finished together, returned the fastest times, 24 ' 34 and 25 ' 16 respectively. Scott, a thoroughly keen and assiduous runner, started last of those who completed the course. He deserves great credit for his well-earned success. CHESS The Tournament was held as usual in the Lent term, and at- tracted a slightly larger number of entries than last year. Thanks to the energy of Turner (last year ' s winner) the various rounds were played off by the time appointed, in spite of pink-eye and so forth, the decision being on the best of three games. In the final Angus was beaten by Macorquodale, to whom a medal has been awarded from the Senior Library funds. HOUSE POINTS Ottawa. Montreal. Dominion.

The Senior Cross Country Race, unavoidably postponed from last fall, owing to the untimely arrival of winter, was held on Wed- nesday, May 1st. In future, it will be run off on or about the first Wednesday in November. This should avoid the variations in the climate and the temptation presented by Thanksgiving of breaking training.

THE ASHBURIAN 25 CADET CORPS INSPECTION The annual inspection of the Cadet Corps took place on Ascen- sion Day, May 9th, and once more we were favoured by the weather. In the unavoidable absence of Major-General MacNaughton, the inspecting officer was Lt.-Col. Boak, accompanied by Capt. Isbister, District Cadet Officer. The Corps went through the usual ceremonial movements with commendable steadiness and showed that it had made some progress since the previous year. The Platoon competition followed and the decision went to No. 2 Platoon under Platoon Leader H. A. Fauquier. The Bassett Cup for the smartest Bantam Platoon was won by that commanded by W. Hadley, while the prize for the most efficient Bantam on parade was awarded to J. Wood. The Inspecting Officer then addressed the parade compliment- ing it on its smartness and efficiency, and concluded by asking the Headmaster for a Half. Dr. Woollcombe replied briefly, thanking Col. Boak and promised that the holiday would be awarded in due season. In the afternoon the usual Gymnastic Display was given. ■ The presentation of prizes took place in the Gymnasium after the display, when the Headmaster presided. The prizes awarded were : — Shooting — O ' Connor Cup — M. Grant. Scott Cup — H. Fensom. Cox Cup — R. Booth. Humphrey Cup — E. Grier. Winner of 2nd Class Medals, D.C.R.A. Competi- tion — A. Angus, D. MacCarthy. Winners of Silver Medals in the Laura Secord Cup Competition — A. Angus, M. Menzies. Winner of Galer Hagarty Memorial Prize — M. Turner.
