Tennis, Hockey, and Football Dance.

"You peers, continue this united league"

Richard III.

The combined clubs held their Annul Dance on the prince of Wales' Birthday and celebrated in rhythmic measure the mysterious unity of College Sport. The three, so often separated, Foregathered at the common shrine to burn their united incense to Youth and Beauty. The votaries of good comradeship had decorated the walls of Sydney Street School-room with emblems of noble games, and tall tree-ferns bore unaccustomed fruit. Long festoons of Lycopodium hung above all, centering in a floral V.C. in green gold. It was Saturday before the worshippers bethought them of the incense they must shortly offer on the altar of strength, and they turned their reluctant steps towards their hearths and homes and ''digs.'' A noble festival indeed, a joy to friend and stranger. G. Prouse and his energetic Committee carried out all the arrangements excellently well.
