The Boys' Fete At Wood Green.
Upper School , and took two prizes . Not only that , but in the sixth class a boy named Higgison came np and took a prize . This wonld encourage her and her ablo assistants to persevere in the work they were doing . As the plays had to come on , and he and others on tbe platform had to " clear out "—to use a schoolboy's
expression—Be did not propose to add anything to the few remarks he had already made , except that the company would give themselves and the boys pleasure by according a hearty vote of thanks to their head-master , the Rev . Dr . Morris , for the satisfactory manner in which the educational portion of the establishment conducted by him
had been managed . Ho was quite sure the Committee were too anxious and willing at all times to accept at his hands any suggestions he could make which might improve , from a practical point of view , the educational system of their School . He trusted that in times to come , however successful he had been in turning boys out for
the Middle Class and University Examinations , that success would be even surpassed in the future . Tho vote of thanks was carried amidst ringing cheers . Brother the Rev . Dr . Morris , in acknowledging the compliment , thanked the company very heartily for the kind way in which they had responded to
the proposal of the Chairman that a vote of thanks should be given to him for the good conduct of the boys during the past year . He hoped they had given the friends of tho Institution some pleasure by their singing , and would givo them a little more with regard to their plays . He must ask their indulgence to-day , as ono of the
chief actors , Eeynolds , was , as they had seen , partially disabled by an abscess which had formed on his foot daring the past few days . He would not be able to move about so nimbly as he did a few days ago , and be asked tho audience to exercise a little patience and forbearance with him on that account . Loud cheers having been given for
the Chairman , head-master , teachei' 3 , tho ladies , & c , tho platform was cleared , and two English plays were presented , the first being a farce by Hugh Moss , entitled " P . U . P ., " ( he characters being sustained by R . F . Reynolds as Samuel Skinner , a fellmonger ; D . T . Piatt as Harry Hyde , his clerk ; and R . Groombridge as Baby . The
other farce was " Beautiful for Ever , " by F . Hay , with the following oast : —Mr . Simpleton , C . J . Sanderson ; Tom , R . F . Reynolds ; Mrs . Simpleton , E . T . Piatt ; and Jelly , T . M . Nicholas . Both pieces were capitally enacted , the latter especially keeping the "house" in roars of laughter , the " make-up of the lady
artistes " being especially funny . The remainder of the items on the programme were , "Who killed Cock Robin ? " a ballad dialogue , sustained by E . B . Green , as the sparrow ; F . W . Heunah , as the fly ; J . B . Bloomfield , as tbe beetle ; H . M . Hare , as tbe owl ; and A . Bowes , as the bull ; part song , " The Dawn of Day , " by the choir ;
and the duet , "When Bee and Bird are singing , " by J . Bloomfield and K . Bowes . The company then moved away in the direction of the Gymnasium , where a sumptuous cold collation was served , and which was thoroughly enjoyed by the visitors , who , on account of the -numbers , had to be served in batches . In the interval between
this and the sports , opportunity was taken of inspecting the interior of the Institution , with every department of which the utmost satisfaction was expressed . At half-past six the party adjourned to the recreation ground in rear of the Schools , where a number of keenly contested athletic sports took place . Seats were placed all
round the enclosure for the spectators , who took the liveliest interest in the various items on the " card , " the pleasure of tbe evening being enhanced by the performances of the band , whose players were scarcely bigger than many of tho instruments they carried . At the
close of the sports tea , coffee , and light refreshments were dispensed in the Gymnasium , and soon after nine o ' clock the party gradually withdrew , to catch the homeward trains , their unanimous verdict being that this had been one of the most successful and enjoyable gatherings ever held at Wood Green .
