17th June, 1887.

SIR,—I have the honour to inform you that the Gilchrist
Trustees, having taken into consideration the numerous
replies which they have received from the colonies respecting
their scholarships, have decided, so far as concern the annual
scholarship of £100 per annum hitherto offered to Australia,
including Tasmania, and the biennial scholarship of £100
per annum hitherto offered to New Zealand, to withdraw the
same. As regards New Zealand, an award having been made
this year, the scholarship will not again be offered; and as
regards Australia and Tasmania, the withdrawal will take
effect after the award which may be made on the usual
examination to be held in those colonies in January next,
1888. After that occasion that scholarship also will not
again be offered.

I have to request that you will be so good as to have this
information conveyed to the educational authorities through-
out these colonies.
I have, &c.,
HENRY A. PAPPS,
Secretary.

The Right Hon. the Secretary of State for
the Colonies.
