17 SPORTS DAY Thursday, fifth of May, saw the beginning of the School ' s annual athletic sports. The weather could not have been more desirable; the sky was cloudless and the sun shone brightly upon the field, which was in the best of condition. The first event started at nine o ' clock and from then the various jumps and other events were completed by one o ' clock. In the afternoon the various parents, friends and associates of the school arrived to see the sprints and the major events of the day. By three o ' clock the field was a mass of colour, with the ladies in various col- oured dresses and the gentlemen in their summer attire, lining the ropes to watch the sprints. This year the competition was keener than it has been for many a year, the various competitors being very evenly matched; the open events were those that interested the spectators the most, and that brought the most enthusiasm from the students of the school. The fifth form carried away the majority of the honours, including the Point Cup and the Junior Point Cup. It is rare in the school ' s history for the Point Cup not to be won by the Sixth Form, and it is an honour that the Fifth Form will live up to, J. F. Peniston and S. R. Doe were the favourites for the Point Cup, though actually Hool was runner-up; and the junior favourite was, without a doubt E. Freisenbruch, who is one of the oldest members of the Fifth Form. Mr. Thomas, when speaking to some of his pupils, said that he was proud of his form and that he thought the cross-country times com- pared favourably with those of school boys in the Mother Country. Peniston won the 220 yards, quarter mile, 100 yards and was placed second in Putting the Shot ; Doe won the cross-country, the time breaking all past records, and the half mile; the other events were won by the Sixth Form. Freisenbruch won all the events with the exception of the cross- country, which was won by J, Watlington, and he won the Junior Point Cup, which was presented to the school by Dr. and Mrs, Watlington. After the sports tea was served in the club house to the visitors. The prize-giving brought to an end a very enjoyable afternoon, which was carried through very successfully by the judges, masters and friends of the school. This year the prizes were presented by Mrs. Browne, the wife of the Bishop of Bermuda, to the boys who had been victorious in the day ' s sport. R. H. Burrows, V.

23 mentioned Mr. Waddington, a former headmaster, who did a great deal for the school. Another interesting point about his speech was his account of the additions that had been made to the school. It started as the big as- sembly room that we still have, with two adjoining rooms. The school was built in 1893, but it was found that there was not enough room, so the building was added to soon after the Great War. There was still not room enough as the numbers had increased a great deal, so in 1931 it was added to again, and now has a complete junior and senior school, with a new playing field and chemistry laboratory. Mr. Cox ' s speech received great applause. Lady Cubitt then addressed the boys. In her speech on the British Empire she said that the Empire is like a huge chain, and every country in the British Empire matters very much to the Mother Cou ntry, because this chain has millions and millions of links, and if one of these links were to drop off, or to become weak, the chain would break. The chain might be repaired, but the country that dropped out would have done much damage to the chain, because it would take a number of years to fix the new link. Lady Cubitt said it is only the old men that are trying to do their best for the Empire, and all young boys and girls should try and do their best also. If they do not try to do their best, the Empire will break all to pieces. J. R. Gibbons, G. C. Gilbert, IV. THE BERxMUDA AGRICULTURAL EXHIBITION The Bermuda Agricultural Exhibition is held once a year, generally in April, in the grounds of the Agricultural Station, which is just on the south side of the Hospital. Going to the Exhibition by the Western Gate you would have to pass the Hospital. After you had walked by that gate into the grounds of the Agricul- tural Station, you would find on your right hand the Arts and Crafts place on your left many stalls. Beyond these stalls were the flowers. If you fol- lowed this road along you would come to the Arena, where all the sports are held. On the right side of the Arena are the dogs; beyond these were the pigs, and beyond these were the poultry and vegetables. Among the Arts and Crafts there were some wonderful exhibits. There was a steel boat that ran by steam, beautifully painted in green. There were also some liners that were well made. The maps and drawings were done beautifully. The flowers, especially those of the children, were very pretty. There were some lovely Alsatians; one of which I stroked for about ten minutes. The hens and ducks all looked as if they were very well fed. The farmers put in some lovely vegetables. As I looked at the tomatoes I wished I could eat some.
