DEE NEUENHEIMEE.
As I remarked before, the life, being almost entirely out
of doors, is very healthy, and one might be in many a worse
billet than that on a, tea estate in Ceylon.
I must postpone describing the actual manufacture of tea

H.E. A.N.
The Old Boys in London.
There have been several gatherings in London of
Old Neuenheimers since the publication of the last
Magazine, but the most important was that held on
Sunday, July 14th, when a dinner took place at the
Grosvenor Hotel, Victoria. Oapt. W. M. Ogg, E.A., was
in the chair, and those present included Messrs. H. Ewen
Hays (who has recently come home from Queensland for
a holiday), G. G. Myatt, Gordon Lobb (safely through the
South African Campaign in which he volunteered as an
Imperial Yeoman), G. M. Molloy, E. Brydges Todd,
Eichard A. Northcott, and Harold E. Saffery.
After the Dinner, the Fellows adjourned to a private
room for coffee and yarns, formal speeches being prohibited.
The gossip was of an interesting character. Mr. Todd for
instance had several anecdotes about his many years'
connection with the College, but omitted to mention that
quite lately he made 254 runs in a cricket match. Capt.
Ogg announced that Capt. Macleod Gordon, of the Poona
Horse, had recently passed away, and that " Eainy"
Anderson, of the Eoyal Engineers, was mortally wounded
in South Africa on the 10th July, and died the next day.
Of the latter Neuenheimer, Capt. Ogg sympathetically
r;inarked—"his worst enemy could never accuse him of
