The cricket and football fields are the finest in Devon, and you mav be sure that the cadets take full advantage of them. In the spacious gymnasium is a staff of-trained instructors, who put ,-9 * . ~f~ ., rp , the lads through a course of healthful exercises. But the pride of the Royal Naval Coi- lege is the beaalo pack. Usually there are about twenty couplls of hunting dogs confined lu the kennels, which are located near to the playing fields. The commander of the college is muster of the hunt, and his helpers consist of twelve cadets. selected pnincipally for fieetness of foot.

Throughout the season. meets are held every half holiday st various Discos uv to a distance of live miles from the coi- lege. Then numbers nt{;hares are start- ed and all _loin in lrarid pursuit.

But when the church service was over hs was always waiting at the door until the blind woman cams to be taken back to her home. Once a gentleman said to the old wonlan‘s daughter, "Aren‘t you afraid to let your mother come alone?" "Oli, no, sir," said the daughter, ,"ws are not afraid, as the goose is ,nth her."
