Urged on by the personal example and physical persuasion of the President, Moore i, the preliminary work was done by the members themselves. A team and help were then hired with the club funds for the scraping and levelling, and by the end of the Summer Term, the courts, though not comparable to Wimbledon, were possible for any one not too exacting in the matter of surface. A ladder tournament was held, but no definite champion was determined. The top four, Morres, Garrard, Moore i and Schwengers, alternated at the head of the list. We were pleased to see that Schwengers was the runner-up in the Vancouver Island Junior Clay Court Championship during the holidays. Golf From a piece of choice slashing has been evolved a very fair golf course. Considering the original state of this part of the School 11

DOUGLAS GROVES ' XI. This match was played on the School grounds on June 18th, and resulted in another win for the School. For the School, Melrose was top scorer with two lucky innings of 15 and 16, compiled, unfortunately, by the aid of certain baseball strokes. We hope to see this player playing cricket next year. It was gratifying to find that five of our opponents were Old Boys.

grounds, we may be justly proud of the result, when we realize that all the work has been done entirely by the School. Play was started by a brilliant drive by Dr. Wace on February 1st, friends interested having very kindly presented us with a variety of clubs and balls. Since then each term has seen us returning to School armed with bags full of clubs. By means of club funds, largely swelled by the Keeper of the Privy Purse, three greens were plouged and sown in the Easter holi- days, and every day sees less opportunity for the novice to lose his ball. A tournament is to be held sometime this term. Badminton Last year the club had a very large membership, and the half-holiday badminton was extremely popular. We had one match against the Shawnigan Lake Athletic Association, and had a few good games, but even our best pair, Morres and Garrard, are not yet good enough to tackle such expert veterans as Col. Eardley-Wilmot and Mr. Gooch. This season began with a doubles tournament and much better games were seen. New talent is also appearing. The winners were Best i and A. Crisp. The Pancake Greeze The Pancake Greeze took place in the Big School on Shrove Tuesday, and was won by F. Crisp, who, with Morres, represented the more brainy, and incidentally the more beefy, end of the School. In connection with this, it must be said that the First Form entrants, despite their diminutive sizes and weights, made a very game effort to capture the pancake. The usual prize was presented by the .Headmaster, and the chief cook, Ah Tan, received the customary stipend for his annual service in tossing the pancake in this historic ceremony. 12
