We reported the other day that Mr James Wither had passed the second seotiou of the B A. examination, and we nre glad to be ablo to supplement thia with the news th-t two other Neleonians have been succcsafnl at the recent University examinations, Mr A. G. Talbot is one of theße, and he can Bhow an exceptionally good record. In 1880 when a pupil ab the Riohmond Boya' School, he won a Provincial Echolarship of £52 10s tenable for two years at the Neleon College ; in 1881 at College he won the Becond mathematical scholarship of £10, and in 1882 the first ditto of £20. In 1883 he again won the same scholarship, and also passed the junior and senior Civil Service examina tions, being second out of 44 in the junior and 3rd ont of 21 in the latter. In 1884 he won the Junior University Scholarship of £45 a year tenable for three years, the Simmons prize of £6, and the Richmond Scholarship of £24 a year tenable for three years, and in 1885 he pasßed the first section of the B.A. examination. He then went to Christchurch College, where in 1886 he gained the B.A. degree, and also won the Senior University Scholarships for (1) Mathematics, (2) Physical Science and Chemistry, each worth £60 (but was only allowed to hold one), also two exhibitions of £20 each, holding only one. .At the recent examinations he passed the M.A. examination with first class honors. The total value of the prizes and scholar ships he has held is £448. He is now on riis way to the Edinburgh University to study. medicine, and lirobably he will often give a kindly thought to his first master at the Richmond school, Mr Cowles, to whom he is indebted for the careful manner in which the groundwork was laid on which he has raised so credit able a superstructure. Of natural abilities he must possess a large share for he won the Provincial scholarship when under 13 years of age, and was not 21 when he gained his M.A. degree. Mr J. H. Harkness, master of the Bishop's School, has also just passed for the B.A. degree.
