On the 27th April, the College way honoured by the vizit of H. B. the Governor accompanied by the Director of Education.

that we have the support and encouragement of those who have long left these precincts. Nor should forget to tender my thanks to the Press for the complimentary tributes paid to the work done by the Col- lege since 1876.

On the 3rd. July, H. E. Monsignor C. Costantini and His Lordship Bishop Valtorta honoured us by their visit. The keen interest evinced by Their Lordships in the material and moral welfare of the College is for us an incentive to renewed efforts in the cause of Christian education.
