PRIZE DAY AT WOOD GREEN .

NOTWITHSTANDING an exceptionally fine day , the attendance at the School on Thursday was nothing near aa large aa we have been accuatomed to in past years . True , the day ( Thursday ) was nofc so convenient

to business men as the Saturday , which had become almost the recognised day for this gathering . Still the air of gloom that pervades the minds of those more immediately connected with the management had its effect , and the surroundings were not so agreeable as we had hoped to find them . We missed familiar faces : we saw but two i

members of the old Committees present , viz ., Bros . Thoa . Hastings Miller and C . P . Hogard . Bro . Edward Terry ( Grand Treasurer ) was present , while Bro . James Terry ( Secretary of the Benevolent Institution ) , Charles Lacey , and many other friends of the Institution and supporters of the Boys were in evidence . The chair was

taken by Bro . Richard Eve , who was supported by Bros . Frederick Binckes ( Secretary ) , and the Head Master , the Rev . Dr . Morris . At three o ' clock , the proceedings commenced , and the following is the official PROGRAMME .
