13. 119 boys from this College obtained various situations in the Colony and clsewhere. Of these 21 were employed by Her Majesty's Government, and 35 by local professional and mercantile firms.
14. I desire once again to express our warmest thanks to donors of prizes, without whose generosity only half of our deserving boys would have their exertions recognised. In this long list Sir THOMAS JACKSON, Mr. ROMANO, Mr. MODY, Mr. WHILEY and the Tung Wa Hospital Committee; and amongst old scholars Messrs. FUNG WA Cuts, Ho Tuso, Ho FUR, SIN TAK-FAN, LEUNG YAN-PÓ, TÁM TSZ-KONG, TROI CHEE-BEE, and NG KWOK-CHING are representative names.
15. The usual Tables of Attendances and Statistics are attached.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient Servant,
The Honourable J. H. STEWART LOCKHART, C.M.G.,
Colonial Secretary.
GEO. H. BATESON WRIGHT, D.D. (OXON),
Head Master.
