THE DISTRIBUTION OF PRIZES. HIS important annual event took place in the Hall on Tuesday, July 26th, at half-past seven in the evening. The new Dean of York distributed the prizes, and addressed the boys . The Ven . Archdeacon Hey, as will be seen, also spoke . The reports of the Examiners, with the exception of Mr . Wallace, were read by the Rev . H . M. Stephenson . The Hall was crowded, a good many Old Boys being present. The Examiners, who are appointed by the Oxford and Cambridge Schools Examination Board, were :—Mr . \V . Wallace, M .A ., Fellow and Tutor, of Merton College, Oxford ; Mr . G . E . Thorley, M .A ., Fellow and Tutor, of Wadham College, Oxford ; and Rev . G . B. Atkinson, MLA ., late Fellow and Tutor of Trinity Hall, Cambridge. Examiners for the Scholarships and Fifth and Fourth Forms : Rev. T . R . Terry, M .A ., Fellow of Magdalen College, Oxford ; and Mr . J. Wells, B .A ., Scholar of Queen ' s College, Oxford . Classical Examiner of Lower School : Mr . W . E . Moore, B .A ., Hastings Exhibitioner of Queen ' s College, Oxford. The Rev . G . B . Atkinson, in his report, said :—" I send the list of marks obtained by your boys in Mathematics in the recent Oxford and Cambridge Examination. "The report, as you are aware, is that to the Board ; but in the meantime I dare say you will be glad to hear, in an informal manner, what I can say about their work. " In Euclid the average of the marks, excluding the four lowest, is very high ; Collinson ' s papers were very good, and Wade and Peters are not far behind him in their totals . I have, however, serious fault to find with the style of several of the boys, particularly Eyre, Wade, and Chadwick . These boys lost a considerable number of marks in consequence .
