"PRİZE' DISTRIBUTION, -
The success of most functions depends to a great extent on the weather, and the third annual prize distribution at this school on Fri day, 28th of July, was held under ideal circum stances. In the unavoidable absence of Sir Gerard Noel, Captain R. N. Ommanney, H.M.S. Andromeda, took the chair and dis tributed the prizes. Swimming races, of which visitors had a good view from the school front, followed the more important function in the school room, which had been tastefully decorate ed with flags and standarde kindly leat for the occasion by the Army Service Corps department of the 1st Chinese Regiment. The Commis misoner's party included His Hon, the Com. missioner, Lady Buxton, Mr. and Mrs. Barton, of Tientsin and Bishop Sliff, There were also present Captain' Shorland, H.M.S.
