stood and dogs barked where now learned words are listened to. Trinity fellow-commoners would point to that horsepretty deceiver!-as the best groomed horse in Cambridge. Arthur used to lend him to me to ride, and once he was nearly the death of me. I was not on his back: his mincing dilatory ways nearly maddened the brute which I was riding in his company, skirting Parker's Piece, and I received a slight shock which might have been severe. Even Arthur could hardly justify his horse's ways to himself or take undiluted pleasure in them, From College, Hoare passed through the fate of matrimony to the pretty living of Calbourne, I.W. Through an arrangement between the Bishop and his father, the Archdeacon of Winchester, he was transferred to the more important living of Fawley, where he passed the remainder of his days. He was ardent in support of the S. P. G. and kindred causes, for it was our lot to have been in College when George Augustus Selwyn kindled enthusiasm, when Thomas Whytehead was more than a memory, and Colenso had not yet fallen from his pedestal. Many a time have I cherished the hope of seeing him once again, in his own Rectory, but the lines, once parallel, had widely diverged, and many a time the hope disappeared in vacancy; and the last I heard of him was at no very long time since, from the cricket-comrade and steadfast bowler J. M. Lee, now Canon, who gave a cheerful account of him with a lively recollection of the merry days when we were young. Apart from his abilities and acquirements (and he had very decided tastes and acquirements artistic as well), I feel, although it is for others rather than myself to pay this tribute, that there was all through a high tone of character— a real kindliness, not the less real from an evident selfsuppression and a cultivated mind, which, apart from genuine religious feeling, must make a great loss, not easily to be replaced, to his relatives, friends and neighbours, even as he was always, even to comparative outsiders, a man of mark and of merit, T. FIELD. OUR CHRONICLE. Easter Term 1894. Following a custom which has now become almost an annual one, the Royal Society has elected to its Fellowship two members of the College. The new F.R.S.'s are Mr A. E. H. Love, Fellow and Mathematical Lecturer, and Mr W. Bateson, Fellow and Steward, and late Balfour Student in Animal Morphology. Among the Fellows of the College, there are now ten who are entitled to the distinction of the letters F.R.S. Trinity has nine. Both the Smith's Prizes have this year been won by Johnians. This double event' has not fallen to the College since 1855, when J. Savage and Leonard Courtney were bracketed. The mathematicians who now have thus distinguished themselves are Ds S. S. Hough, Third Wrangler 1892, and First Class (div. 3) in Part II 1893; and Ds H. C. Pocklington, bracketed Fourth Wrangler, and First Class (div. 1) in Part II of the same year. The names are in alphabetical order. Ds Hough sent in an Essay On the oscillations of an ellipsoidal shell containing fluid. Ds Pocklington's Essay was On the steady motion and small oscillations of an electrified hollow vortex. Prof. J. J. Sylvester, Honorary Fellow, has been elected one of the twelve foreign members of the Italian Scientific Academy called Dei Quaranta. The two other English members are Lord Kelvin and Professor Huxley. Sir Thomas D. Gibson-Carmichael has been appointed by Lord Rosebery to the post of Chairman of the Lunacy Board for Scotland. Professor Liveing, Fellow of the College, has been elected an honorary member of the Royal Agricultural Society, in recognition of his services to agricultural science and education. Dr Donald MacAlister, Fellow and Tutor, has been appointed Linacre Lecturer of Physic. Mr William Lee Warner (B.A. 1869) has been appointed to the office of Secretary to the Government of India in the Foreign Department, vacated by Sir Mortimer Durand. He filled at a previous stage of his career the office of UnderSecretary, so that he is not without experience. He is at present Secretary to the Governor of Bombay and the Official representative of that Presidency in the Viceroy's Council. Mr George Eldon Manisty, of the Indian Civil Service, has been appointed to officiate as Accountant-General, Bengal. Dr H. D. Rolleston, Fellow of the College, and formerly Editor of the Eagle, has been elected. a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians of London. Dr Rolleston has attained this honour at an unusually early age. His editorial colleagues offer him their hearty congratulations. At a public meeting held in the Owens College on February 9, it was resolved to raise a "Marshall Memorial Fund" in honour of our late Fellow, Dr A. Milnes Marshall. The fund will be devoted to the maintenance of the Marshall Biological Library, presented to the Owens College by his family, and to the foundation of a gold medal for athletics, to be competed for by the College Students. Mr H. H. S. Cunynghame (B.A. 1874), formerly Secretary to the Parnell Commission, has been appointed Assistant Under-Secretary to the Home Department. The first of the two University Scholarships for Sacred Music, on the foundation of the late Mr John Stewart of Rannoch, awarded for the first time in the present term, has been gained by C. B. Rootham, of Bristol Grammar School, who was elected to a Sizarship for proficiency in Classics in December last, and begins residence at this College next October. On April 7, at Colchester Castle, the long and valued services of the Rev Canon R. B. Mayor (B.A. 1842), formerly Fellow of the College, were suitably acknowledged by the presentation of a handsome testimonial, subscribed for by the residents within the Rural Deanery of St Osyth. Canon Mayor has for thirty years held the College Rectory of Frating-cum-Thorington, and for eighteen years has been Rural Dean. The latter position he has recently resigned, and the occasion was taken to mark— by the gift of an illuminated address, a massive piece of silver plate, and a gold bracelet for Mrs Mayor-the kindly feelings entertained by his parishioners and neighbours towards the Rector and his wife. The presentation was made by Mr Round M.P., and the accompanying speeches bore testimony to the good work, on behalf of the Church and of education, which Canon and Mrs Mayor had carried through during their long connexion with Frating and the adjoining parishes. Mr J. Bass Mullinger, Librarian, has been elected a member of the Council of the Camden Society. Dr D. MacAlister has been appointed by the General Medical Council Visitor of the medical examinations of the Universities of Aberdeen and Glasgow. Mr G. S. Turpin (B.A. 1887), D.Sc. London, formerly Scholar and Hutchinson Student, has been appointed Principal of the Huddersfield Technical School. There were 130 candidates for the post. A good portrait of Dr A. S. Wilkins (Fifth Classic 1868), formerly Editor of the Eagle, is given in The Owens College Magazine for June 1894. Mr Eliot Curwen (B.A. 1886, M.B. 1890), who has recently returned from work on the coast of Labrador in connexion with the Deep Sea Mission, is going out to China in August as a Medical Missionary, under the London Missionary Society. He will be in charge of the Hospital at Pekin. From the Annual Report of the Museums and Lecture Rooms Syndicate, we learn that the University Collections have been enriched by certain important gifts made by Johnians. Mr G. D. Haviland has presented a magnificent series of Termites, collected by himself at Singapore; Mr W. W. Cordeaux, of the Queen's Bays, has forwarded many valuable zoological specimens from Northern India, including a lower jaw of the Mastodon; and Mr J. J. Lister, Mr W. Bateson, Mr F. V.

Barstow (B.A. 1860) of the Inner Temple has been called to the Bar. Mr E. E. Sikes has become Press Editor of the Eagle in place of Mr G. C. M.

Horton-Smith, our present Treasurer, and H. A. Merriman, our present Secretary. J. M. Hardwich will be Secretary, and A. H. Thompson, Treasurer. In the covers of a copy of Gregory Nazianzen, now in the College Library, have recently been found some fragments of a kind of Calendar or Official List of the University for the year 1633. It appears to have contained a list of the Professors, Public Orators, and Proctors from the commencement. An enumeration of degrees "in all sciences in the Universitie" is noteworthy as giving the Bachelors' Degrees in the following order-Law, Physick, Musick, Arts. Mr R. F. Scott, Senior Bursar, has presented the Library with 15 volumes of Sir J. F. W. Herschel's original MSS, purchased at a sale of Messrs Sotheby, Wilkinson and Hodge, November 1888.
