SCHOOL LETTER. OOTBALL, as usual, is the chief topic at this stage of the term, and truly we have done remarkably well. At the time of writing we have nine wins to our credit, and have lost four matches : and we have eclipsed all previous records in points, for we have scored 369 55 in all matches. The largest number of points scored previously was in the season 1893-4, when the school totalled 281-47, and then only ten matches were played. We have been favored by the weather, also, as not one match has yet been postponed, a great difference as compared with last season. The fifth of November was celebrated in the usual way, or rather we should say the fourth. Notwithstanding the unfavorable night the fireworks were a great success, and no catastrophe occurred. As regards the Debating Society nothing has happened this term, except a meeting to elect new officers, who have so far been debating when to have a debate which, we believe, has not yet been fixed. -
The Concert on November 11th proved a great success, and was largely attended, those present having the good fortune to hear a Pianoforte Solo by Mr. Tendall, which was much appreciated. Before closing we must offer our hearty congratulations to R. F. Russell, who gained a well-deserved place in the English team
versus New Zealand. By the time this article appears in print Christmas will be close upon us, so we will end by wishing our readers the Compliments of the Season.
