218 boys in the Upper School and 34 non-Chinese in Lower and Preparatory Schools bring these figures up to the total of 961 examined in English School. This access to the 5th class appears the more satisfactory when it is remembered that the original scheme of the Governing Body made provision for four classes only. In a short time about half the scholar in Vernacular School will have Chinese attainments in excess of the maximum required by authority.
17. Through the munificence of the brothers Ho, old boys of this college, five new scholarships have been founded. Class I WRIGHT Scholarship, Class II Ho Tuxe, Class III Ho Fook. These are of the value of $100 each and tenable for one year. They were pre- sented by Messrs. Ho TUNG and Ho Fook, the scholarship in the First Class being at their kind suggestion called after the present Head Master on the completion of twenty-five years service. The subjects are Hygiene, Geography and Translations from and into Chinesc. Class II, HO KOM-TONG Scholarship, Class IV ALFRED MAY. These are of the value of $60 each and are the gift of Mr. Ho KoM-TONG, at whose request the scholarship in Class IV was called after our late Second Master Mr. MAY, recently retired on Pension. These scholarships are awarded to the winner of the highest aggregates in the chief English subjects with Trans- lations. The donors have skilfully avoided collision with existing scholarships.

19. In the past year, 18 boys obtained employment under the Hongkong Government, 41 under the Chinese Imperial Government, 38 in Professional and Mercantile Offices, 50 in situations abroad These 147 boys nearly all came from the Upper School and this heavy demand accounts for the reduction in the number of candidates for the Annual Examination.
20. The Cricket, Football and Reading Clubs continue to flourish. Bombardier G.. WADE has succeeded Sergeant D. TAYLOR, R.G.A., as Gymnastic Instructor, the demand on the time of the latter in connection with his military duties being too heavy to permit his continuing the instruction.
21. We gratefully acknowledge the liberality of the public in supplementing the Govern- ment's Allowance for Prizes. As usual a full list of donors will be published in the college organ The Yellow Dragon.
