The Inter-I-louse Boxing finals were among the closest-fought 'events in the term. The Rise, the eventual winners, only won by 'one point, a point which was in doubt until the very last decision. In previous years, the boxing had been between the Rise and School House; last term, however, there was a welcome return of Day Boy opposition for the Cup.

C. D. Trimmer, 0.P., who kindly refereed, remarked that the boxing was of the highest standard seen for many years. He 'complimented the losers on their show of spirit when the fight appeared hopeless, and kindly awarded a prize to the worthiest loser, Harding.

Sgt.-Major Puddick is again to be congratulated on his 'excellent coaching of the different teams; and thanks are due to the judges.

Among the best fights were T. W. Walters v. A. Capald ; P. R. G. Graham v. G. C. Brown ; and A. C. W. Ping v. I. A. 'Campbell. All three were evenly matched and excellently fought contests.
