“...Simpson, Toto van Ess, A. van Ess, E. Edgar, C. L. L. Williams, and L. Fawcett, who had not been able to attend any of the re-unions, decided that there was a sufficient number of them to form a little re-union on their own account, and they accordingly met, at the house of a mutual friend in far away Manchuria, to exchange reminiscences of the days of their youth.
A copy of the February number of the “ Chef00 Magazine ” having been exhibited for the benefit of those who were not members of the Schools’ Association, an attempt was made to sing “ Remember Chefoo ” as a round led by C. L. Simpson, who will be remembered by the boys of the eighties as having a particularly mellow voice. The pathetically emotional display of the gathering, however, prevented this from being a success, but “ Three Blind Mice ” and “ Who’ll buy my poses ? ” went with a good swing, due, no doubt, to superior instruction in the vocal art.
Light refreshments consisting of ho-shaos and water (no lemonade available) were...”

“...Some have grown rich, some have grown poor,
Some have no virtues, but others a score.
Where are they, where are they now ? (Cribbed, I’ll bet!)

NDER ideal conditions, this annual contest took place on Tuesday evening, June 14th, 1910. A large number of small boats were in attendance, adding affectiveness to the scene, conveying sightseers to the winning post.

CORRESPONDENCE.
General Hospital,
Brisbane, Queensland,
July 10th, 1910.
Dear Mr. Randle,
My desire to belong to the Chefoo Schools’ Association and to receive the Magazine is in the superlative degree. For the last three-years I have been having an adventurous career in the Brisbane Hospital, and am now a nearly full-fledged nurse. I sit for my final examinations in October. The thought dismays me—for the tennis court, corridor suppers, and impromptu fancy dresses are not conducive to study. We of the Brisbane Hospital consider ourselves the nurses of the Continent. Our Hospital is comparatively small—only sixty nurses and five resident doctors, but numerous Honoraries. But I’ve had such a happy time and will be sorry when this portion of my life is finished. Still there is always better to follow. Willie and Marcus are at the Melbourne University in the Medical School.
