Sir Joseph Ward was then invited to present the medal to the winner, lie also delivered a short speech congratulating the competitors on their efforts and giving them a little advice.

The undergraduates of the college packed the gallery of the hall, and in the intervals between the speeches they indulged in the pleasantries which are the special privilege of students in bulk. Sir Joseph Ward was the butt of much of their good-humoured banter, some of it shouted in chorus, and some of it sung in three or four topical songs.

Votes of thanks were accorded to the judges and to Sir Joseph Ward.
