Geography.Good. I expected that more boys would have been ac- quainted in Class IV with the draining operations of the Emperor Ü, and in Class V with the diurnal and annual motions of the earth. Map-drawing from memory.--Excellent. The maps of Hongkong, Africa and the 18 provinces of China that obtained over 80% marks were wonderful specimens of handiwork, and feats of memory. Composition. Very good indeed, the employment of suitable phrases, not
dictated by me, was very successful and praiseworthy.
Chinese to English.-Satisfactory. More boys made laudable attempts to translate the unseen piece that formed the fifth question in each paper.
English to Chinese. This subject was, as usual, marked by the Second Master (Mr. A. J. MAY) who found himself able to award a very large proportion of high marks.
14. The following is a complete list of the Scholarships, all locally promoted and maintained without any assistance from the Government:-Morrison Senior and Junior Scholarships each tenable for three years, Stewart Scholarships for one year, Belilios Senior and Junior Scholarships each tenable for two years.
15. The non-Chinese boys past and present, assisted by the friends of the late Mr. W. MACHELL, have raised a small sum to endow a Special Prize in memory of his devoted zeal in behalf of the interests of the Senior non-Chinese Class. In spite of the handsome allowance for Prizes from the Government, we should be poorly off to provide recognition for our sixty scholars deserving of distinction, were it not for the generous beneficence of the public. The following is a list of the present contributors:-The Consul General for Portugal, Messrs. ARCULLI and DORABJEE NOWROJEE; Messrs. CHAN HE-WAN, CHAU PAK-CHEUN, Ho Foox, Ho KOM-TONG, HO TUNG, IP SHIU-KAM, KÓ YIK-KAM, LAU CHÁK-MIN, LEUNG YAN-PO LO CHEUNG-SHIU, Lo TÁT, LUK KING-FO, MOK MAN-CHEUNG, NG KWOK-CHING, SIN TAK-FAN, TSOI LAP-TSZ, U HANG-KAM, WONG KAM-FUK, YING HING-PONG, YING SHIU-PO, the Directors of the Tung Wa Hospital Messrs. GAUPP & Co., the Head Master, and others.
16. The School Magazine Yellow Dragon, the Reading Cricket and Football Clubs continue to flourish. A novelty in 1902 was a Boys' Pair-oared Race intro- duced into the Regatta by the kindness of the Victoria and Hongkong Rowing Clubs. Our crew consisting of the brothers BUNJE Coxswain SAYER were coached by Mr. BIRD and won a well contested race.
17. The gymnastic appliances to be used temporarily in the basement of the College at a cost of about $400 we may expect to get in the year 1904.
18. The usual Tables of Statistics are attached.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient Servant,
GEO. H. BATESON WRIGHT, D.D. (Oxon.),
Heud Master.
The Honourable F. H. MAY, C.M.G.,
Colonial Secretary.
