THE ASHBURIAN 19 The Senior race was well run by all those who finished within the necessary time to obtain a point. Brown quickly took the lead. Half-way he was still leading with Perodeau running strongly fifty yards behind, another hundred yards and Sherwood II, Bates II, Magor, Wilson III, GilHes I, Sherwood I, Smellie, Rowley I, and Grant were running close to- gether and in this order. Brown held the lead until a few feet from the finish when Perodeau with a final burst passed him. Bates II passed Sherwood II in the last half but was repassed coming through the Sand Pit. Sherwood I moved up three places but Gilhes and Magor failed to hold their positions and were passed by Grant, Smellie and Rowley. It was an interesting and well contested race. Perodeau is to be heartily congratulated on winning the Ker Cup for finishing first — this is the second year he has held it — and the medal for the fastest scratch time. We also congratulate all those whose tenacity was rewarded by obtaining a point for their respective houses. The Junior race was a repetition of the Senior in that the first man home, Calder, also returned the best scratch time. The winner ran a very fine race, he started 3 minutes and 38 seconds after zero, in fact after everyone except Malloch. He settled down at once to a long easy stride which he maintained all the way covering the ground very quickly. He thoroughly deserved his success in winning both the Irvine Cup and the Medal. Both courses were longer than in previous years. -J. R. P. CROSS COUNTRY Order of Finish Senior Elapsed time 1. Perodeau 26 min. 32 sees. 2. Brown 27 28 3. Sherwood II. 28 44 4. Bates II. 26 45 5.

THE ASHBURIAN 21 CADET INSPECTION The Annual Inspection was held on the morning of Wednesday, May 7th. The inspecting officer was Colonel S. H. Hill, Director of Physical Training and Cadet Services, and he was accompanied by Captain M. Isbester, District Cadet Officer. The corps showed commendable steadiness on parade and marched well, and Colonel Hill congratulated them on their efficiency and said that he was glad to find that on the 25th anniversary of the foundation of the unit, it was maintaining the fine traditions of the school. Unfortunately a heavy shower of rain curtailed the exercises and the address of the inspecting officer and the announcement of the winners of the various cups had to be made in the gymnasium. The Woods Cup was won by No. 1 Platoon under L. Bates, and the Bassett Cup by No. 2 section of the Bantams under R. Davidson. The medal for the smartest bantam was awarded to J. Roberts-Allan. Gymnastic Exhibition. Fortunately the rain which had interrupted the Cadet Corps Inspection lasted for only about an hour, and for the Gymnastic Exhibition, held in the afternoon of the same day, there was ideal weather. The Connaught Cup was won by A. MacCarthy, who beat A. Henderson by half a point. The judges were Colonel Hill and Captain Isbester. After the announcement of this award, General MacBrien made a speech in which he pointed out the tremendous importance of physical fitness, which, he said, was so
