THE DISTRIBUTION OF PRIZES. HIS important annual event took place in the Hall on Tuesday, July 26th, at half-past seven in the evening. The new Dean of York distributed the prizes, and addressed the boys . The Ven . Archdeacon Hey, as will be seen, also spoke . The reports of the Examiners, with the exception of Mr . Wallace, were read by the Rev . H . M. Stephenson . The Hall was crowded, a good many Old Boys being present. The Examiners, who are appointed by the Oxford and Cambridge Schools Examination Board, were :—Mr . \V . Wallace, M .A ., Fellow and Tutor, of Merton College, Oxford ; Mr . G . E . Thorley, M .A ., Fellow and Tutor, of Wadham College, Oxford ; and Rev . G . B. Atkinson, MLA ., late Fellow and Tutor of Trinity Hall, Cambridge. Examiners for the Scholarships and Fifth and Fourth Forms : Rev. T . R . Terry, M .A ., Fellow of Magdalen College, Oxford ; and Mr . J. Wells, B .A ., Scholar of Queen ' s College, Oxford . Classical Examiner of Lower School : Mr . W . E . Moore, B .A ., Hastings Exhibitioner of Queen ' s College, Oxford. The Rev . G . B . Atkinson, in his report, said :—" I send the list of marks obtained by your boys in Mathematics in the recent Oxford and Cambridge Examination. "The report, as you are aware, is that to the Board ; but in the meantime I dare say you will be glad to hear, in an informal manner, what I can say about their work. " In Euclid the average of the marks, excluding the four lowest, is very high ; Collinson ' s papers were very good, and Wade and Peters are not far behind him in their totals . I have, however, serious fault to find with the style of several of the boys, particularly Eyre, Wade, and Chadwick . These boys lost a considerable number of marks in consequence .

THE DISTRIBUTION OF PRIZES.
" The Arithmetic was very good throughout ; Douglas, you will see, has obtained full marks. " The paper on Conic Sections was of course not so well done ; but Collinson and Chadwick did very fairly indeed. " As was to be expected, the Statics and Dynamics were the least successful ; even where the notions were worth something, the language was generally confused and vague . Still the papers of Chadwick, Collinson, and Wade were respectable. " The Trigonometry I thought upon the whole very satisfactory. " The Algebra, generally speaking, was decidedly good ; and the papers of Wade, Chadwick, and Collinson were very good. " I consider the result altogether very satisfactory . The boys I have mentioned, as well as some others, show considerable promise . " The Rev . T. R . Terry, speaking generally of the forms examined, said :—" I should say that there was most room for improvement in the Euclid . In writing out propositions the boys in many cases deviated considerably from the methods of Euclid, frequently their answers were mere sketches, and several boys used symbols that are not considered legitimate . These defects, though quite observable in Division II ., become much more prominent in the junior Forms. With this exception I should describe the work of the Forms examined as very creditable ." Mr . Moore ' s report was as follows :—" I have examined in Classics and Divinity the third forms, the lower second, and the first forms. In the upper third the average work was fair, the work of the two head boys, Bowden and Baldwin, being very good, and much in advance of the rest of the form . The Latin prose was fairly well done. In the Greek and Latin subjects several of the boys sent up excellent papers . In English History, out of 5 o marks 44 and 43 were obtained, and in Divinity the first two boys obtained 36 and 35 out of 40, the average of the whole form being very good . In the 1 ower third the Latin Prose was fair . Several very good papers in Greek and Latin subjects were sent up, especially by Malcolm i . and Wilson ii . In History Hopkins obtained full marks, and Stephenson ii . and Wilson ii . 40 out of 50 . The average in Divinity was very good. One complaint I must make with regard to both these forms . The spelling, with two or three exceptions, was very bad, and the writing was very careless. In the upper first there is a good deal of variety ; the work at the top of the form was very good, especially that of Flower ii ., Malcolm ii ., and Johnson, whilst at the bottom the work was rather poor. Johnson, Flower, and Malcolm, all did excellent Latin exercises, and,

233
in fact, did well throughout the whole Examination . In Divinity, Chadwick obtained full marks, whilst Flower and Cook obtained I,S and 42 respectively, out of so. "In the lower first, also, there is a considerable amount of variety. Rymer, Smith, and Hewson, did very fair Latin exercises ; in Classics Smith and Birks did best ; in History and Divinity there was some very fair work, Smith and Birks again doing best, the latter obtaining full marks, and the former 45 out of so in History. " In the lower second the average work was decidedly good ; several very good Latin exercises were sent up . In the Latin subjects only three obtained less than half marks, and in Greek only one . In these two subjects Haynes ii ., Moss, Bloomfield, and Watson, did very well indeed . In History and Divinity the average was equally good ; in the latter there were only nine marks between first and eleventh, and in the former the first five boys were very close together . " Mr . Wells wrote as follows :—" I have had the pleasure of examining the fifth and the upper and lower fourth forms of your School . On the whole, the result was decidedly satisfactory . There was everywhere abundant evidence of careful teaching and thorough work, and, moreover, considerable promise of ability, which seems likely to do your School very great credit in time to come ." Mr. Thorley wrote :—" The Greek History is very satisfactory, the work showing a distinct improvement as compared with that of last year . There are no positive failures, the average reached is high, and the papers of three of the boys are very good indeed . " Mr . Wallace, who was present, gave a satisfactory report concerning the examination he made, and stated that, as a result of the whole, Piggin and Wade were higher than the others . Several of the other boys also did exceedingly well. Appended is a list of the honours obtained since July, 1879 : G . H . WADE, elected to the first open Classical Exhibition at Balliol College, Oxford. J . H . PIGGIN, elected to the first open Classical Scholarship at Trinity College, Oxford. J . H . MALLINSON, elected to an open Classical Scholarship of 130 a year at Christ ' s College, Cambridge. J . H . Cou .INsON, proxime nccessi/ in the Examination for open Mathematical Scholarships at Queen ' s College, Cambridge. J . P . HunnmRsTv, Scholar of St . Catherine ' s College, Cambridge, thirteenth in the First Class of the Classical Tripos. W . Y . FAUSSET, Scholar of Balliol College, Oxford, obtained the Gaisford Prize for Greek Prose Composition .

THE DISTRIBUTION OF PRIZES.
R . C . 'WILTON, Fifth Form ; J . CHADWICK, Fourth Form and C . and M . Department, passed in the First Division in the London University Matriculation Examination. M . J . GREENER, placed third in the Final Examination for Honours held by the Incorporated Law Society, with First Class Certificate and Prize of Books value five guineas adjudged to him.
The Very Rev. the DEAN was then called upon, and received a cordial greeting . He observed that he had come to discharge what was a duty and a pleasure . First he thought it was his duty as Dean of York to do what he could to assist on such an occasion a School which had been closely connected with the Cathedral Church to which he had the honour to belong . He had not yet had sufficient time to make himself acquainted with the history of the School . But looking at the report of last year there was enough to make all connected with it have reason to be proud of the School to which they belong . (Applause .) He thought no one could look at the list of distinguished men who during the last thirty years had been members of it without seeing this . Although he could not say he had in his past life met a great many of those who had been educated there, yet he had met several ; and one thing in which they were unanimous was in their cordial regard and appreciation of him who was then their Head Master, whom there they would call Archdeacon Hey, but who was always known amongst his later pupils by the cordial and affectionate name of " Billy Hey ." (Laughter and applause .) He (the Dean) felt it was a pleasure to be present, because he himself was an Old Boy . Although he was afraid it was many years ago since he was a boy, the had not forgotten the time , and an occasion like that brought up treasured memories of days gone by, and enabled him to feel great interest in the duty in which he was called to take a part . (Applause .) Speaking of the reports, he congratulated the Head Master and the boys on the candour shown in them . While it was very pleasant to hear one ' s supposed virtues, it was very useful to have one ' s attention called to deficiencies which they were thereby enabled to remedy . No doubt it was very disagreeable to have one ' s name mentioned as having done work slovenly, but, depend upon it, slovenly work was not only a hindrance in an Examination, but in other things . He congratulated those who had not only succeeded in gaining some valuable prizes as books, but also those who distinguished themselves in the University Examinations. At the same time he trusted they would not rest satisfied with what they had achieved, and that they would not lack in perseverance. To the truly noble spirit success was hilt an encouragement to further

,r30
efforts. Alluding to those who had not succeeded in winning prizes, he remarked that he knew what it was to work very hard for prizes and to fail, but he ventured to think that the best thing that could happen to them in life was early disappointment . He thought they would find that some of those who had achieved the most brilliant success in after life had been those who had met with the greatest reverses in early life ; and if they only acted in a courageous spirit under their failures, they would gain substantial prizes in the fUtnl 'e. (Applause .) He believed there was always something very valuable, perhaps even more valuable and useful than these beautiful books, to be derived by those who worked for it . In concluding, the Dean said it had afforded him great pleasure to have the opportunity of continuing one of the prizes which was established by his reverend predecessor, and given to the best in Mathematics for the last twenty years . In coming to fork he succeeded a man who was honoured and respected by all who had the pleasure of knowing him, and it would be a great pleasure to him to endeavour as far as possible to maintain the good works which the late Dr . Duncombe established amongst them . (Applause .) He wished them a happy holiday, and trusted they would return witli renewed vigour and energy, and with a determination to make themselves famous in the School and also in that position of life to which they might afterwards be called . (Loud applause .) The prizes were then delivered to the successful boys, who, as they came forward to receive them, were greeted with rounds of applause by their school-fellows. EXHIBITIONER .—F. T.

The e'en . iz('HDL.ICOS Ili; subsequently proposed a vote of thanks to the Dean, observing it was a great encouragement to have the countenance of the governing body . During the past year, added the Archdeacon, they had lu=t one who was always a cordial friend to the School, and who always tool: a great interest in its affairs ; and one consolation they had in leis loss was, that they had to welcome one who was so willing to tread ill his steps, and who had manifested
THE SCHOOL CONCERT .
`
such cordiality and sympathy with the feelings of the boys, in the address he had given them . The e 'en . Archdeacon alluded to his former connection with the School, and spoke words of encouragement to those who had not succeeded in obtaining prizes, reminding them that the principle which should actuate them was to do their duty to the utmost of their powers, and then their reminiscences of their School days would be happy ones . (Applause .) The Rev . H . M . STEPHENSON, in seconding the motion, referred to the reports of the Examiners, observing that the days were gone by when flame-coloured reports were considered the only ones which could be made, and that the reports which simply praised would be an insult to any first-grade School . (_Applause .) The proceedings terminated with the usual rounds of clieering for the Dean, the Head Master, etc. One agreeable incident that occurred during the distribution of the prizes must not be passed over . The IIEAU MASTER, in announcing the names of the successful candidates for the Composition Prizes in the Sixth Form, referred to the lamented death of the Rev . W. Robinson, by which the School had been deprived of the annual prize for an English Essay . The Ven . Archdeacon Hey, who was sitting just behind Mr . Stephenson, whispered a few words to the latter, who thereupon announced that the Archdeacon had volunteered to continue the prize . It is hardly necessary to add that the seasonable generosity of the popular ex-Head Master was acknowledged with loud applause.
THE SCHOOL CONCERT. FTER two postponements, the Concert in aid of continuing the improvements in the interior of the School Chapel took place oil 1londay, July 26th . The hall was tastefully decorated by Mr . Yeld, and all arrangements were carried out without a flaw . The large and fashionable audience showed in a most unmistakeable manner their appreciation of the entertainment . We must, however, express our regret at the unavoidable absence through indisposition, of 1lajor Sliaw-Hellier, who had kindly promised two songs, The following programme was gone through :

Almost every item on the programme was received with loud applause, and the audience would not rest contented without encores. In the first chorus we must notice C . H . Cobb ' s solo, which was very well given . The powers of the maturer performers are well known, and it would be invidious to single any one out for special praise. Mr . Bellerby, Mus . Bac ., conducted, and Mr . Sample presided at the piano. In our next number we hope to be able to give some particulars as to the pecuniary results of the Concert . In the meantime, we may suggest that we see no reason why a Concert at Midsummer should not become one of the regular institutions of the School .

THE ATHLETIC SPORTS.
VVT'
thought to be able this year to have our Sports (in accordance with old precedent) on the last Saturday of the term, but before we had got half through them, the rain interfered, and we were obliged to put them off, in spite of the disappointment it caused " the large and fashionable " assemblage . The Judges were Mr. W . S . Cadman, Mr . A . H . Griffith, and Mr . E . L . Haynes, and the Starter was Sergeant-Major Kinneavy. The following events were decided on the Saturday : 1 .-Putting the Weight (16 lbs .) 16 entries. Prize given by Col' Malcolm . F . T . Griffith (z8 ft .) t ; W . J . Kaye, 2 ; L . E .

The ground was in a terrible condition, and the times of the races were very much lengthened, particularly the Mile, which was done in such shocking time that we hardly dare insert it—perhaps, as we say, it was owing in a very great measure to the -tate of the grounds . The events were as follows : VIII .—High Jump (open) . Prize given by W . F. Rawdon, Esq. The High Jump, which had been begun on Saturday, was resumed with the following result :—C . H .

Stephenson gave away the prizes, several of which were very handsome, and after the usual amount of howling, bellowing, and clapping, the meeting, which by this time had become pretty large, dispersed . Amongst Old Boys present we noticed, T . R . Terry, W. E . Moore, W. H . Jackson, F . E . Watson, M . Newby, W . Crosland, not to mention others who live at York, and who were, therefore, on the spot . At the Distribution of the Prizes on Tuesday evening also, we were glad to see J . P . Hubbersty, who is not very often able to visit us .

SCHOOL LETTER.
"A LL joys come to an end,
" and this term has proved no exception to the rule : we at last have been compelled to quit those buildings which, I am sure, must have endeared themselves to every one of us, and are forbidden for seven long weeks to enter again their sacred precincts. The Cricket team cannot be said to have enjoyed a season of uninterrupted success, yet we have proved ourselves superior to any team which Yorkshire schools have brought against us . Hornsea and Flaxton, too, have had to acknowledge themselves defeated. ra 6'aXAct o tyw . For further particulars I must refer my readers to the detailed accounts which have figured so extensively in the Peteritc. 'We might, and probably should have made a better show had we been fortunate in securing a professional . A . P . Chadwick has got the " Batting Average," and A . R . Stephenson the " Bowling ." In the Richmond match, the " average " of Stephenson's bowling was four wickets for three runs . We had hoped, too, to have been able to have added to our list of victories the Old Boys' match, which was fixed for July 26th, but unfortunately could not be played, owing to the drenching rain which fell during the whole day. The York Regatta took place on Tuesday and Wednesday, July 27th and 28th, but we had no boat on the river. The Concert, the proceeds of which are to be employed in improving the School Chapel, passed off with considerable eclat . There was a large attendance, and several of the songs were loudly encored. Major T . B . Shaw-Hellier, to the great disappointment of all, was unavoidably absent. We regret to have to state that we are losing three very prominent members of the School this term, Wade, Mallinson, and Piggin, the last of whom was one of the School Editors of the Petal/ e. " WHISKERA\DOS . " P.S .—I take advantage of the request of " Whiskerandos " that I should add a postscript to his letter, if it is only to assure enquiring friends that I have survived the scandalous attempt recently made by the Oxford and Cambridge Schools Examination Board to annihilate me with their stern requirements. As I have made mention more than once of a Regatta Boat, I suppose I ought to apologize for cheating my readers with what was only the baseless fabric of a vision . Several attempts to get up a boat were made, but disappointment followed disappointment, and the result was—nothing. " LITTLE ALEXANDER "—positively his last .

CORRESPONDENCE. FOOTBALL. To THE EDITORS OF " THE PETERJTE . " DEAR Sias,—Before we meet again, the Football Season will have begun, and I therefore seize my opportunity, asking you to spare some small space in your "valuable magazine " for a few rules which were taught me, in the days of my football playing, by a veteran in that noble game . He used to tell me he had often been exasperated by seeing so much passing : he was very careful to impress upon me this rule, which I shall call No . i :
i .—Never pass the ball, for it breeds a spirit of servile dependence and reliance upon others. z .—Always swear on all possible occasions, for that is manly, and makes spectators think what a fine fellow you are. 3 .—If you are playing on a strange ground, find what fault you can, for that raises a good opinion about your own School, and that is patriotic. 4 .—If there is by any chance an altercation, vituperate as loudly as possible, for then you will appear brave ; but take care to keep outside of the ring that will certainly be formed, for it would not do for you to come to blows ; that would bring discredit on your School. , .—If you transgress rule 1, and pass the ball, never pass it to the backs, for that would tire them, and would be selfish. 6 .—Always scatter over the field so that you may collar ally one who is running, and never let two or three try to collar a man together, for they might hurt each other. 7 .—If you are a forward, and see a l u u of the opposite side running, keep out of his way ; you may harm him, and that would be cowardly. 8 .—If you see a man of your own side running, whom you do not like, collar him at once : people will think it mistaken zeal, and will praise and pity you for your mistaken enthusiasm. 9 .—Let your forwards play back a little, in order to relieve your backs ; but a back should never run past the half-way flag, for that would be selfish, and make people think he was trying to get all the glory for himself.

NOTES AND ITEMS .—CRICKET.
io .—If you do not feel up to doing your duty, limp off the ground and lie down : you will be thought an hero, and you can display Spartan courage and Stoicism (especially if you are not hurt). I might enlarge : but these fiw good sound rules will enable you, if you stick to them, to win many matches, and generally raise the credit of the School and team . Yours, &c ., LINKUM FIDELIUS.
IGNORAMUS would be glad if any reader could inform him, through the Editors, of the derivation and application of Rol d' YvetOt.

The Editor, _pro. terra ., ventures to call the attention of the cricket authorities to the ingenuous simplicity which characterizes the score book . That production has come under the notice of the Editor in consequence of the passive resistance which has thwarted all his efforts to obtain the scores, etc ., from any Official of the Cricket Club . The Editor, in consequence, will not feel called upon to apologise for any error that may have crept into the scores. The same attitude of masterly inactivity prevents the appearance in the present number of the Peter/le of a review of the Cricket Season . OXFORD : PRINTED 1W W . R . BOWDEN, ;q, HIGII STREET.
