H. P. Wiltshire (centre).-The best forward in the team; a good dribbler, too slow in shooting.

B. J. C. Warren (inside left).- Passes well; wants more practice in shooting. H. Reeve (outside left).-Fast and useful forward; gets the ball well down the field, but needs more control over the ball near goal.

The following also played:-F. J. S. Moore, F. W. Walker, L. Orton, A. J. Storey, G. H. Pethybridge, C. W. Sumner, J. H. Metcalfe, H. C. Andrews, W. J. C. Scarlin, E. A. Tyler, H. Sneath.

ATHLETIC CLUB.

The Sports, which had originally been fixed for February 13th and 14th, were postponed on account of the frost until February 26th and 27th, but as the Lent races were not held this year, they were fixed for March 7th and 8th, but were finally abandoned. A. C. Pilkington, F. W. Murray, and P. L. May have been elected as first year members of the Committee.

GENERAL ATHLETIC CLUB.

By an oversight the Balance Sheet was sent in too late to appear in the Eagle for last term.

Balance Sheet for the Year 1893-1894.

It is much to be regretted that, after the debt of the Club was paid off last year by the donations handed over to us by the Master, the Balance Sheet should again show so large a deficit.

While the expenditure was increased by the final instalments of the somewhat unusually heavy expenses incurred in the previous year, the receipts were unfortunately largely reduced,

owing to the misconduct of the person employed in collecting subscriptions.

The expenditure for the present year has been cut down as much as possible, and some of the usual expenses have been met by private donations.

An appeal will be made next term for subscriptions to pay off the deficit, so that it may not remain as a burden on the Club for the future. It is hoped that all who are able will contribute to this end.

CRICKET Club.

Captain-F. J. S. Moore. Secretary-C. D. Robinson. Committee G. P. K. Winlaw, W. Falcon, J. H. Metcalfe, J. G. McCormick.

A general meeting was held in F. J. S. Moore's rooms on Wednesday, February 20th, the President, Mr J. R. Tanner, in the chair, and the above officers were elected for the ensuing year.

EAGLES LAWN TENNIS CLUB.

Secretary-R. Y. Bonsey.

A general meeting was held in Lecture Room VI. on Wednesday, January 30th, 1895, at which the following were elected members:-E. A. Jones, E. H. Lloyd-Jones.

LACROSSE CLUB.

Captain-W. J. Leigh Phillips. Secretary-H. L. Gregory. CommitteeW. K. Wills, W. T. Clements, A. C. Boyde.

Lacrosse is as usual in a most flourishing condition in St John's. On Saturday, March 2nd, a match against a team picked from the rest of the 'Varsity Club resulted in a draw, two goals being scored by both teams. Several matches are yet to be played.

Of the members, individually, first and foremost we deplore the loss of Lupton, who has for a long time been a mainstay both to the College and to the 'Varsity Team, of which he was lately Captain. Other members, who have lately played regularly for the 'Varsity, are Boyde, Clements, Gregory, Wills, and LeighPhillips, who all hold their College Colours. The two firstnamed in this list are indeed a great gain to the College, especially because, being in their first year and already possessing a sound knowledge of the game, we look to them as a backbone for the team in succeeding seasons. Clements, especially, has been most energetic, and, doubtless, with the help and co-operation of the other members, will succeed in

upholding the great prestige at present attached to our College Lacrosse contingent.

Wills has been elected Vice-Captain of the Cambridge 'Varsity Lacrosse Club, and, with Clements and Leigh-Phillips, has been awarded his 'Varsity Colours.

DEBATING SOCIETY.

President-H. M. Schroder. Vice-President-T. Hay.

Treasurer

J. M. Marshall. Secretary-J S. Bryers. Auditor-C. C. Ellis. Com mittee-C. P. Keeling, V. M. Smith.

The debates during the term have been as follows:

Jan. 26-"That this House condemns the action of the so-called Moderate party in the late London School Board Election." Proposed by C. P. Keeling, opposed by H. M. Schroder. Lost by 6 to 17.

Feb. 2-"That this House would approve of a re-organisation of the great industries of this country on a socialistic basis." Proposed by J. E. Purvis, opposed by E. H. Coleman. Lost by 5 to 7.

Feb. 9-"That this House would approve of a re-organisation of this University on the lines of a limited liability company.”. Proposed by C. T. Powell, opposed by A. P. McNeile. Lost by

4 to 12.

Feb. 23-"That this House would approve of a 'One man one vote."" Proposed by J. M. Marshall, opposed by J. S. Bryers. Lost by 12 to 8.

March 2-"That in the opinion of this House Tennyson is a much over-rated poet." Proposed by R. O. P. Taylor, opposed by T. Hay.

March 9-"That this House believes that the House of Commons is useless, dangerous, and ought to be abolished." Proposed by the Rev J. H. B. Masterman, opposed by Mr E. W. MacBride.

This term has been rather a disappointing one for the Society. It was confidently expected, after the great interest shown in the debates last term, that with a series of interesting subjects and a number of good speakers we should have to chronicle nothing but success. Unfortunately, influenza and kindred diseases wrought such havoc that a continual rearrangement of the debates had to be maintained, and this possibly accounts for the attendance this term being rather smaller than last. The debates have been really well sustained, but we have still to deplore that while a certain number of men could always be

relied upon to speak, and speak well, many came to listen rather than to debate. Still the term has been signalized by more than one promising maiden speech, and as most of the members are keen on the Society, there is every reason to believe that next term the expectations formed in regard to this will be more than realised. Our thanks are due to many of the senior members of the College who very kindly took part in the debates on several occasions, and who have done much to stimulate interest in the Society.

MUSICAL SOCIETY.

President-Dr Sandys. Treasurer-Rev A. J. Stevens.

Secretary

C. P. Keeling. Librarian-C. B. Rootham. Committee-A. J. Walker, J. M. Hardwich, C. T. Powell, H. Reeve, O. F. Diver.

On Monday, 4th February 1895, the first Concert of the term was held in Lecture Room VI. Any doubt which may have existed as to the popularity of Classical Music must have at once been dispelled by the sight of the audience, which filled the room to overflowing. The utmost enthusiasm prevailed throughout the evening, and we are glad to be able to say that the Concert was the most successful ever given under the Society's auspices. Two of our visitors, Mr W. H. Reed and Mr H. E. Macpherson, have recently been elected honorary members of the Society, and we cannot but feel that the action of the Committee has been another step in the right direction, and that our two first honorary members are performers of whom any Musical Society might well be proud. It was gratifying to observe the large number of men from other Colleges who were present at this Concert, and we may hope that soon every College in the 'Varsity will find that "Classical Music" is not out of place at a Smoking Concert. Mr W. H. Reed seems to have improved every time we hear him, and we feel sure that before long his name will be well known in the musical world. A. J. Walker sang "Ca' the Yowes" with his usual feeling; he was accompanied by the Composer, Mr H. E. Macpherson.

We are sorry to notice that the "Crochets" made their last appearance on the Musical Society platform at the second concert: one of their number-alas !—is "going down," and the "Crotchets" will soon cease to exist. Their place seems to have already been filled by another male-voice quartett, styled the "Accidentals." Mr Barlow kindly presided at both the concerts. Hoffman's" Melusina" has been chosen as the work to be performed at the May Concert, and practices have been held regularly during the term. Surely there are some more tenors in the College; at present there are more than twenty basses in the chorus, while the tenors only number six. We hope that their numbers will have increased by the first practice next term, for no one can join the chorus after that date.

ST JOHN'S COLLEGE BALL.

At a meeting held in Lecture-Room VI on March 1, it was decided, if possible, to give another Ball this year. In order that the Ball should be a success, the numbers must be increased as compared with those of last year.

To meet any unexpected expense or an overdraught on the estimate of the expenses of the Ball, it is necessary to raise £50. If the Ball is a financial success, the subscribers to this fund receive their subscriptions back again.

It is to be hoped that the College will patriotically support the Ball, and induce as many friends as possible to come and help to make it a success.

Last year the Ball was held in the Hall, and though 171 tickets were sold, still there was a scarcity of dancers.

It is estimated that if about eighty members will promise to take tickets, the Ball will in all probability be a success.

A meeting will be held early next term, when final arrangements will be made.

THEOLOGICAL SOCIETY.

President-R. O. P. Taylor. Hon. Treasurer-B. P. Strangeways. Hon. Secretary-J. D. Davies. Committee—V. M. Smith, G. E. Iles.

The meetings were as follows:

Feb. 1-In W. J. C. Scarlin's rooms. Subject, "Savonarola," by V. M. Smith.

Feb. 8-In W. S. Sherwin's rooms. York," by Rev J. H. B. Masterman.

Subject, "St Wilfred of

Feb. 15-In R. O. P. Taylor's rooms. Subject, "Inerrancy of Holy Scripture," by Prof H. E. Ryle.

Feb. 22-In G. S. Whitaker's rooms. Subject, "Catholicity of the Prayer-Book," by Rev H. H. B. Ayles.

March 1- -In Mr H. T. E. Barlow's rooms. Subject, "St Basil the Great," by Mr H. T. E. Barlow.

The Society at present is in a very flourishing condition, and the membership is still on the increase. The meetings on the whole have been well attended, but there are yet many members who do not put in their appearance more than once a term. The papers read this term have been exceedingly good, and the discussions following have been generally of an interesting

nature.
