Both in Prinoixiles ’of.-'Agri culture and Botany thero aro signs respectable classes. Book-keeping comes up to former years- with nearly forty, students. Altogether it may bo said that there will ho 250 students who make 450 entries m the registers. The most curious experience is that of


the Weaving Class, which so far has not nearly realised the expectations of the Committee, who in consequence of various


representatives have made arrangements to produce a - Syllabus of; a more practical character, one which will involve the constant use of the looms at the School. These have been left in the liands of Mr. F. W. W hipp to get into weaving-shed order. And there need be no doubt as to tile work being accomplished. With these new departures of the Committee it is to be sincerely hoped that the classes will regain that prosperous appearance which has been so encouraging a feature of the Scliool. Some remarks that fell from the chair­


man on tlie night of the Distribution of Prizes has induced us. to look up the records of students whose science educa­ tion wholly received at this School, has enabled them to earn certificates, winch entitle them to teach the subjects in any

■ THE


STONYHURST LECTURE COURSE W hen our semi-mystic announcement


of possible future lectures on the lines of the Gilchrist Course was given to the public last Friday, it was with little knowledge that already the boon so bold­ ly asked had been cordially conceded,and a course of lectures had become, in the short space of time between a meeting of the Technical School on Weclnesd.ay and the Friday following, a settled thing. The Rev. Fr.- K a r t e l l h.-is secured


ready promises of a course of lectures ivhich IS el.astic enough to comprise -some­ thing from six to eight in number, to be given by the Rev. W a l t e r S id g r e a v e s , the Rev. A. L. C o r t ie , and the Rev. J oseph B r ow n , all ofStonyhurst College. 1 he two former gentTemen have followed Fr. P e r r y at the Stonyhurst Observatory, and are both fellows of tlie Royal Astro­ nomical Society, and have materially con­ tributed to the astronomical knowledge, even of that Society. Like the Astrono­ mer-Priest, Fr. Perry, tliey have both so far unbent as to be well able to bring their knoM ledge to the level of popiil.ar audi- ence.s, .md it is on Astronomy that both will speak. Without being .able, at so early a stage,


to say with certainty which p.articular branch of Astronomy they will select, it may be Laken as being tolerably certain that Spectrum Analysis, a most fascinat­ ing subject, and the Sun, which is tlie principal subject of study at the Stony­ hurst Observ.atory, will form the staple of their lectures. Fr. B row n will almost .as surely„take “ Bees,” and those who know his resources iti this branch of etymology, and tliose who remember what Dr. D a l - l in g e r got out of “ Spiders," may very well join us in the belief th.at his contri­ butions to the lectures will not be amongst tlie least enjoyable. The Gilchrist Committee, .as it still-gets


termed, will meet very shortly when no doubt the preliminaries will be m.ade, ■ en.abhng us to give out further particulars of this most exceptional streak of luck-

General Purposes Committee had held a meeting when tho playgrounds question was discussed and it was decided that the Clerk write to tho owners of a piece of land adjoimiig Salt Hill Rond, another piece off Brownlow St. and another piece of land at Foulsykes to know on what terms tliei’ were willing to let the land for playgrounds subject to it by giving up if required at any time for building land at si.x months notiec. i t was also decided to give notice to tho contractor for the sewerage works to remove tho stone from the land nt Hen- thorn and that the children be allowed the use of that plot for the present as a recreation ground. At a later stage tho Clerk reported that he had written to the jiersons concerned. The Rector of St- James's who had to do with the letting of the Salt I-Iill piece replied that he would consider the matter and give his decision m due course. The trustees of Mr. Hall replied that it was decided to let the piece for building land. Councillor Robinson said they would bo able to


take It again nt six months notice. Tho Mayor said they might infer that tho trus­

It was decided also to adopt tho Surveyor’s

ded by Councillor Roberts, tho minutes were jiassed SIouNTED Poi.ior,


It was stated in the mimites of tho Watch Coni- iiiitteo that Sir Herbert Croft, H.M. Inspector of


C a s e s .


Police, had suggested that they should liave a number of mounted jiolicc in tlio borough. It was decided that tho Clerk write to neighbouring boroughs to learn on wliat conditions they would supply mounted police when reqiiired- The Mayor, in answer to Councillor Robinson,


said that Sir Herbert Croft had put tlio question whether they had mourned police or not. Ho thought they ought to have, and i f they liad men who could rule they ought to he practised- It would moan howover, a big expenditure m equip­ ment, and as they had power to engage mounted jiolice from other towns, it was better to arrange terms in the event of any omorgency. Uthorivise. if they had to call tlicui in without terms having been previously arranged tliey would linvo to pay whatever tho ncigliboiiriug authorities demanded. Alderman .laincn Garnett said it would bo bet­


ter to rely on otiior towns than to have their own as tho men would be better trained tliruiigh prac­ tice. I hey had scales for the supply of extra foot jiolieo bvt not for mounted police. Ihe minutes were apjiroved.

ALLOTMETS. Tlie Clerk saiil he Iiad written to the owners of


tho land as Instructed. 51r.- A. I. Rohin.son rejilied that he was only a triisteo for the land of which the piece in Hayhurst Street was a jiart, but it would not bo benelietal to tho trust to let it It would have to he taken from the tenant and this could not bo done without injuring the value of the farm. Iho jilot, too, had a goo<l frontage that would make valiiabio building land. It would al«o let at a liigli rental as nccommodatiun land- 'J lic tenant would also have to have twelve months' notice to quit tho wliole of tlie land, and this was a course he could not rocoimnend tlie triistces to adopt. llio Vicar of St. Jfiirv's replied that he eimld


not let tho land asked for on the west side of the railway and adjoining it.


A letter had not been received by Mrs. Trapjies-
