EDITORIAL.

THE present quarter, now swiftly stealing away through those dark examinational hours that precede the splendid dawn of home and holidays, has enjoyed a prosperous career. The two occa<>ions on which the College has appeare I before the public-the Concert and the Sports-may be regarded as unqualified successes. The former was not only pro luctive of pleasure to the audience and creel it to the performers. hut resulted in a substantial and welcome addition to the funds of the Athletic Club. The Sports, held for the second time on the Ashfield Recreation Ground. have never been better managed or more numerously attended. The blemishes that marred the success of the last meeting were conspicuously absent on this occasion, ancl the Press was un,inimous in its approval of the management. The Literary and Debating Society has met regularly once a fortnight, and the meetings have been well attended and full of interest. Another school society has sprung into existence to gupply a want long felt on the :esthetic side of our education. Those who are conscious of powers of song, hitherto undeveloped, may now tune their vocal lays under the inspiring hdlnn of a :\1 usical Society. Our champion football team has amply sustained ih reputation, and our recent accession, J. E. ~Ioult1rn, has won us new laurels by being chosen to represent the Colony a~ainst the English players. \\' e shall watch his per­formance with gre.1t interest, and heartily wish him success. The Cadets, under the fo·,tering care of Lieut. Smith, are making excellent practice for the forthcoming competition, when we expect they will give a good account of themselves. The Bicycle Club has introduced two no\'el and interesting features into its pro­gramme in the form of a slow race and a road race. \Vhy do not more members join this excellent club, both old and present Newingtonians?

On l!'ricfay, l:lth Ap1·il, the ::lociet.r held u meeting of a Rocial character. Thert• was a spll'mlid uttt•nclttnce, owing lo the pre•ence of all the boMders.

RIFLE Sll00'£1NG.

Our results in the Ccnhmnial Matches miglit seem, to outsiders, to be only fair, but 11s a matter of fo.cL they were lll08t creditable. They must not be compared with tlio re~11lts of tbe annual association meeting last October. The limits of tboso mate he• enabled sixty of our fellows, including carbines, to competo; whereas it was folly for any but the best of the Rifles to enter for the Centennial matchl's. l'olor-Sergt. \Varden closed o. splendid career as a school-boy rifle shot by obtaining the extraordinary score of ten consecu­tive bull's·eyes at 500 yards in the team's match, and with his score at 600 yards won ~fojor Walker's prize against 600 of the best riflemen of .A.ustra.lia, representing a military force of 20,000 men. Colox·-Sergt. Sands won £6 in the first stage anc.J aggregate of t.he Grand Centennial, Sergt. T. Boll £5 in the third stage and aggregate, Lieut. Smith £11 in the second stage and aggregate, and Color-Sergt. Serisier £2 in the third stage.

Our team cnme ele"enth in the Centennial Teams' 1Iatch, being placed next to ou1· old rivals, the Grammur School Cnclcts. The team for Newing­ton consisted of Lieut. Morley, Lieut. R. N. Smith, Color·Sergt. Sands, Color-Sergt. Warden, and Sorgt. T. Bell. Ninety-five teams, from the whole of .d..ustralia, competed.

Since these matches we have been going in fol· steady pt'llctico, and several of our rec1·ttits have come well to Lbe front. Among these L.-Corp. Warden has ~he best uveragc, and L.-Corp. C1tpd astonished us all a few weeks ago by making Gl out of 70, au excellent sco1·e for a beginner. The day-boys have come forward in Hn unprecedented manner this year, and, at present, seven out of tbo ten highest averages belong to them.

The Drst match of tho season was between teams of eight, representing the boarders and day-boys. 'J:l1e boarders won by 32 points. On the Q.ueen's Birthday we go to RiYerviow to meet the St. Ignatius cadets in a friendly match, ancl haYc been ensured ii hearty welcome. .A. match with the Scottish Rifles has been arranged for the 26th. Tho Scots arc going to do their best to defeat us, as N ewington is the only team that has beaten them ltitherto. On the 4th August we meet the Grammar School in rifle and carbine matches.

Our carbine practice did not begin until Easter, but ulrcacly great pro­gress bas bccn made. Thirteen of our "boarder" carbines have a11 a.-cragc of thirty-two out of forty!

At present it is impossible to hole! our annual carbine nmtch, boarders v. day· boys, as twenty-five out of lho thirty carbines that havo begun shooting arc boarders.
