cannot ‘ get up ’ the subject wholly from any book, but must know 
something practically of a wide range of farm work. All the ques- 
tions were well answered by some or other of tlie competitors, showing 
a wonderfully good acquaintance with the actual work of farming. 
On the whole, the results are quite up to, if not better than, some 
of those of former years.” 
5. The Examiner in Elementary Chemistry (Dr. J. Augustus 
Voelcker, B.A., B.Sc.) reports that “out of the 43 papers sent in, 
nine failed to obtain the requisite number of marks. Though the 
failures were less than last year, the papers did not, as a whole, show 
any improvement in general. One paper alone approached to any-

thing like excellence. The elementary questions on the physical 
pi'opei'ties of water and on the difference between organic and in- 
organic bodies were, as a rule, very imperfectly answered.” 
6. The Examiner in Mechanics and Natural Philosophy, and in 
Mensuration and Land Surveying (the Rev. Pi’ofessor Twisden, 
M. A.), reports that “ the results of the Examination in Mechanics 
are, on the ■whole, more satisfactory than those of the Examination 
in Mensuration. I am inclined to think that more attention had 
been paid to Mechanics than to Mensuration. Many of the exa- 
minees answered several of the questions (see page 760) -well or 
fairly well : e.g., Questions 1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 10. The weak point was 
that only a few sent up good answers to Question 2 or 9, and only 
two sent up good answers to both questions.”
