The band, who were rather disappointing at Military Chapel. the beginning of the term, have put in some excellent work under P. H. Sykes, Esq., and Drum-Major Harrop, and gave a very creditable performance. They are now quite up to the usual standard. The rifle range has been in use most of the term, and cadets are now divided into first, second and third class shots ; the rumour of extra parades for the latter has added considerably to everybody's keenness. The following is the list of N.C.O.s :— C.S.M.--H. A. Butler. Sergeants.—\V. Allport, J. A. Brittain, E. A. Harrop and J. N. Emery. Corporals.--N. J. L. Brockbank, C. E. T. Moore, D. F. Dodd and R. C. Barrass. Lance-Corporals.—L. Attenboroug -h, N. W. D. Yardley, G. D. Stibbard, F. P. Marrian and A. W. Josephy.
Entertainments. CINEMATOGRAPH LECTURE. On Saturday, 23rd January, W. G. Ibberson, Esq., gave a Cinematograph Lecture on " A Private Trip Through America." He had taken these pictures with a small camera in his spare moments, for he was over in America on business. There were numerous views of New York taken from many aspects ; from the tops of skyscrapers, from the streets, from the boat and from an aeroplane. Perhaps there was rather too much of New York, yet a visitor's first impressions must surely call forth his desire for taking photographs of all he sees. He went up the Hudson River, on whose banks we saw the grounds of magnificent houses. Mr. Ibberson then went south, and, perhaps, the best view of all was that of the Capitol at Washington from the air. It was interesting to note the different types of scenery passed while crossing America by train. Leaving the uninteresting wheat and maize fields, he showed us some of the " bad lands " from the observation car. Miles of desert r3lled away monotonously from the train until the Grand Canyon afforded a welcome spectacle of interest. The train stopped here, and a descent was made by Mr. Ibberson into the Canyon. He showed us some very striking views of this vast fissure, and he told us that descent is deemed impossible except in two or three places.
