EXAMINER'S REPORT.
MR. PRESIDENT AND MEMBERS OF THE TASMANIAN COUNCIL OF EDUCATION.
I HAVE the honor to report that the Examination for the Tasmanian Scholarships began on Monday, the 7th October, and occupied the whole week. - .
Five Candidates presented themselves, of whom "C," "D," and "E" failed to satisfy either of the prescribed conditions; "B" proved himself far the best Classical scholar, showing, both by lower and higher testR, that he was well grounded and possessed natural gifts of no mean order. "A," while acquitting himself fairly in Classics, evinced-considerable Mathematical ability; and this, all the more markedly, as the branches of the study dealt with ~ecame higher and harder .
. _ .. The sum total .of "A's" marks was 1830, of "B's" 2039, the prescribed standard being l 650. "A's" Mathematical marks were 759; the standard being· 750. "B's" Classical marks were 1131, the standard being· 900. From this it will be seen that both "A" aud "B" have satisfied the conditions you have imposed.
On opening the sealed envelopes it was found that the Scholars for the year were

Lancia souleva la tete, et vit a cote de lui un homme debout et masque qui le regardait a travers les deux trous de son capuchon rouge av._ec une attention muette et bienveillante. Le vieillard, sans sortir de son egarernent, fixa pendant quelques secondes ses yeux sur l'inconnu, comme s'il avait voulu lui demander de quel droit ii venait l'arracher ainsi a ses pensees; mais, oubliant aussit6t les paroles qu'il voulait prononcer, et la cause qui les motivait, il s'affaissa de nouveau sur lui-meme, et retomba dans ses funebrf!s reveries.
"Lancia!" cria l'inconnu, se baissant jusqu'a l'oreille du soldat. "Qne me veux-tu ?" repcndit la vieillard sans changer de position. " Beveille-toi, Lancia!" ",Te ne dors pas, je pleure." "11 n'est plus temps de pleurer; l'heure de la vengeance est sonnee." "Vengeance!" murmufa le vieillard sans quitter sa sombre attitude; "je n'ai plus de bras, je n'ai plus de fils."
9. Translate the following into French:-The Chieftain himself lay concealed in a cave near his own house, before which a small
body of regular soldiers were encamped. As it was suspected that he was lurking somewhere on the property, his family were closely watched, and cqmpelled to use the utmost precaution in supplying him with food. One of his daughters, a child of 8 or 10 years old, was employed as the agent least likely to be suspected. She was an instance among others that a time of danger and difficulty creates a premature sharpness of intellect. She made herself acquainted among the soldiers, till she became so familiar to them, that her motions escaped their notice; and he·r practice was to stroll away into the neighbourhood of the cave, and leave food under the root of some tree, where her father might find it as ·he crept by night from his lurking-place.
