The incident occurred at the provement, over last week's quota- time of the Eton and Harrow crictions. A demand, both locally and ket match at Lord's, just before from outports, exists for all good long leave..

Dr. James said: "We have very strict rules as to boys going out in motor cars and visiting licensed premises.

As to the incident at Bray three boys went in a motor-car on a Sunday afternoon to a certain hotel there. This was a breach of the school rrulations.

**Their past records were con- sidered and two of the boys were told to leave Eton immediately, and the third boy was allowed to stay till the end of the term.

"I should like to stress the point that no disgrace is attaching to any of the boys, their absence from Eton being simply a breach of the regulations and nothing more.

None of the boys was expelled and each received his
