OXFORD LETTER. S every undergraduate member of the Peterite community up here has been in the Schools this term, and therefore has been at the call of duty and necessity more or less oblivious of the gay world around him, the Oxford Letter is rendered a more difficult task than usual to compile. To carry the shattered fragments of what once might be called a memory as far back as the Eights, for the first three nights they were rowed in most disagreeable weather, and so favourable to heavy and powerful crews, whilst proportionately disadvantageous to form without strength . Corpus, with Hornby, Clemans, and Carter, as expected, went ahead, while Exeter, who had lost nearly all their old men, descended from the position they had for three years maintained with the greatest ease. to that of fourth . New College—on paper as usual, an exceedingly strong boat, including D . and H . MacLean, Bourne, and Fothergill—rose four places . Of the lower boats Oriel was the most successful, and at the close of the week was able to celebrate their six bumps with a prodigious amount of feasting and fireworks. So dense was the smoke on the Oriel quad ., that after a while it was impossible to see the pyrotechnic display at all . The neighbouring

college of Merton, who had gone in for a most lavish expenditure in training their eights, among whom the manly form of C . G . Wade might be descried, suffered a severe disappointment, for all the bumps they were concerned in were much too near stroke to be considered a cause of rejoicing . The flag of Queens also, who carried on board twoand-a-half vegetarians, had to be lowered a few times in the course of the week. At Henley we shall probably be represented by Corpus, Magdalen, and O riel . The two MacLeans are in for the Pairs, while Unwin will probably meet Pitman for the Sculls .

OXFORD LETTER.

The cricketing season has thus far been most disheartening for us. The Eleven is almost the same as that which beat the Australians last year, and won every match but one . Only Kemp and Hine Haycock have gone, but their loss is irreparable . Kemp ' s judgment, determination, and discipline have been greatly needed, besides his and Hine Haycock ' s batting abilities. Of the freshmen, Cochrane is an excellent bowler, and might be made a very good bat . D'Aeth and Cole also are fair bats, but cannot be relied on . Our great need has been a good fast bowler—Whitby unfortunately has cut a tendon in one of his fingers, and has not sufficiently recovered to bowl with his usual speed and break ; he will probably be all right later on, but perhaps too late . Godfrey is fast enough and dangerous in his own way . On a wet wicket he can bowl well enough, but he cannot bat . On a dry wicket our bowling is useless, however good our uncertain batting might be . So in the bowling line Cambridge will score off us pretty considerably, I expect, if it is fine . With Brain, O ' Brien, Hilyard, Page, Buckland, Newton, Key, and Cochrane, we shall be, or we ought to be, decidedly superior in batting, only they have never come off more than two or three at a time. We have not thus far won a match ; indeed we have only once, in the return v . M . C . C ., been near winning . Diver and E. T . C . Studd have each raised over loo against us . The most creditable match we have played was against Surrey, who helped themselves to 464 runs, but this was not surprising, since the day was fearfully hot, the wicket true, and the ground as fast as lightning . For a long time the runs came at the terrific rate of 5 per over on an average . But to have gone in on a rather cut up wicket on a dull day, and to have raised 282 runs against their strong bowling is about the only worthy deed of the dark blue eleven of this year. The first Lancashire match we might almost have won with steady play . A curious feature of it was that each innings was commenced by two left-hand bowlers, Barlow and Nash for them, Cochrane and Bastard for us . Crossland, though unsuccessful, elicited most unfavourable comments from the "town ." A proposal has been carried to construct fourteen new cricket grounds in the parks for the colleges, to be allotted like the football grounds, which are still to be maintained . It is needless to say this will revolutionize Oxford Cricket, which will be removed from the Yorkshire pudding-like grounds of

CAMBRIDGE LETTER.

Cowley Marsh, where most colleges have their grounds, and be brought into close proximity to the 'Varsity ground— an improvement beneficial in many ways . Perhaps if some of the ' Varsity Eleven had not been so keen about slogging up 5o 's, against weak college bowling on the dead grounds of Cowley, but had been content with honest practice at the nets in the parks, the scores of the Eleven might have been considerably larger . The chief offenders were those who should have set a better example. More than a few words about the schools are intolerable to those who have just fled from their tortures. Of Peterites, in the Final Schools, B . G . M. Baskett has been among those "qui Izonorem ambiazzt in Schola jizris~rudentizo, " while G. H . Wade and H . C . B . Clayforth have essayed the perils of Litcrea Ilunzaniozes (human/ores is surely a cruel piece of irony) . In moderations, E . W . Clayforth was our only representative . CALLOS.

CAMBRIDGE LETTER. INCE the last Cambridge letter was written, another wave of Cantabs has rolled away to make room for its successor in October . The total number of matriculations (luring the past academic year was close upon a thousand, being ten more than in the previous year . Let us hope we shall have quality with quantity in October. The end of the May term is one mass of examinations—Mays, Triposes, Specials, etc., followed by a few days of thorough enjoyment in the shape of balls, concerts, etc . During the former many miserable faces can be seen, and the answer " Oh, miserably," to "Well, how did you get on?" grows tedious . The Mathematical Tripos contained some well-known names, Rock among the Wranglers, Pitman, Perrott, and Bicknell . We must congratulate Peters on his place at the head of the Junior Ops ., bracketed with a Pembroke man . N .B .—Better than being bracketed with a Newnhamite or Girtonite . In that case it is often suggested that the bracket should be made permanent. The attendance at the races was as large as ever, and the scene very pretty . There were none of the upsets, which characterised the Lents, when fourteen eights were counted floating upside down between the Railway Bridge and the Boat Houses after the last race . An eight

CAMBRIDGE LETTER.

of the 'Varsity VI . rowed down, stroked by Hawke . Jesus easily maintained their place at the head of the river for the eleventh year in succession . Trinity Hall I . with Hardacre, Coke, and Swann at stroke, 7 and 6 respectively were a strong boat to look at, but they never pressed Jesus ; in fact, they had some difficulty in keeping away from Third Trinity I ., who were stroked by Pitman . Corpus I ., with Peters at 3, gained and lost one place, so that they remain where they were left in the Lents. Rumour has it that our boat next year will be much altered from our last . Pitman has been elected President of the C . U . B . C ., and Haig Secretary . Fairbairn, who rowed 7 in Jesus I ., in the Mays and in the ' Varsity two or three years ago, was proposed for the former office, and was defeated by one vote . It is probable that he will be 7 next year, Bicknell stroke, and Pitman 6 . Bicknell has proved himself an excellent stroke, and after his distinguished career in Jesus I . he deserves a trial . We are well represented this year at Henley, and if Pitman and Unwin meet in the final heat of the Sculls, excitement is sure to run high. Now for cricket . Strange to say our only victory was that over Oxford . For this we have to thank Wright and Bainbridge . Their record stand for the first wicket must have done much to give our men confidence, and they deserve all praise . They generally opened the innings in the trial matches, and almost always made a good stand . Wright will be missed next year . His scores in the four Oxford matches in which he has played have been 17 and r not out, 1oz and 29 not out, 16 and 34, and 78 and 15, these giving the splendid average of nearly 49 . Kemp should prove a useful man. Ile is quite a boy in appearance . At Shrewsbury he had not such a good average as Burbury, who has not come on much . The C . U . C . C. has lost its new President, Rev . E . 1V . Blore, who was elected last year . He was an old " blue," and took great interest in 'Varsity Cricket. An agitation was raised last term about a Universal Blazer . The various Colleges were canvassed, and a large majority declared in favour of it . Two or three specimens were on view in one of the principal shop windows . One was a " blue " of a darker shade than the ordinary "blue . " This was very properly rejected . Another was the ordinary "blue " trimmed with white, with the College arms on the pocket . This was felt to be too near an approach to "the blue . "

THE SCHOOL LETTER .

That adopted is a white flannel blazer trimmed with blue, with the College arms on the pocket . It looks very pretty . One shopkeeper in King's Parade had eighty-four orders on his hands a few weeks ago. Thanks to the House of Lords, Undergraduates above the age of twenty-one are to have votes for the borough . This result is no doubt due to a petition numerously signed, which was sent to that House praying it to reverse the decision of the House of Commons . Your correspondent went to hear Lord Randolph Churchill address a meeting in the Corn Exchange . After standing for some time on the top of a corn merchant's desk, which was rasher weak in its legs, he was rewarded by hearing some local celebrity appeal to the audience to "'Old up yer 'ands," which many refused to do . Owing to the confusion, there was nothing for it but to elbow a way up to the platform, where Lord Randolph in a low voice was deprecating the increase in the spirit duties . Your corr espondent was disappointed, but as his Lordship had a long speech to make at the Carlton Club later in the (lay, he was perhaps right in reserving his eloquence. We are to have another Ladies' College in Cambridge, intended for those who wish to become teachers . Surely two are enough.

STOIC .

THE SCHOOL LETTER. HE term is fast drawing to its close, and with it one of the most successful cricket seasons the School has ever enjoyed . We are certain that if such success is not quite unprecedented in the School records, it is certainly unsurpassed . This is the more surprising when we reflect that this year the eleven has practically done without a professional, as the professional engaged for the season was incapacitated from further play by a severe sprain after the first fortnight of the term. Out of the to matches we have so far played, we have won 6, drawn 3, and lost r . We signally defeated Durham and Leeds Grammar Schools —the former by an innings and 85 runs, the latter by an innings and 13 runs. The Yorkshire Gentlemen were disagreeably surprised to find that instead of dismissing the " boys " for the usual small score and then knocking the School bowling about for the rest of the afternoon, they had to endure leather hunting until the School had compiled 232 . In

CRICKET.

a similar manner Mr . Walker's team did not see the last School wicket fall till 229 runs had been registered on the telegraph . The old Peterites, judging from the opinion we heard them express at lunch time as to the issue of the day, must have been considerably disappointed to find that eventually they were in a minority of 34 runs. We have heard it remarked that this is certainly a most successful season, but in all probability it will be succeeded next year by a poor one . From what we have seen of the Second Eleven play, we feel inclined to disagree with this, and to confidently hope that next year ' s cricket will be what this year ' s has been . The Second Eleven has played 4 matches and gained a decisive victory in each case . The largest score of the season was made in the last of the four by Martin, who went in first and was not out till the 9th wicket for 83 . In School matches, the School House has been defeated remarkably easily by the School, but the School House Junior has so far proved too much both for the Day Boys Junior and for Mr . Gilbert's Junior . The Football Team of last year was summoned to a meeting the other day to elect a captain and secretary in the place of P . E . Lord and H . \V . Rhodes. The result of the meeting is that J . Wilson is captain-elect and R. Crawshaw secretary . Commemoration Day passed as successfully as ever, the sermon being preached by the Rev . T . Adams . The School was delighted to see him again, and he was warmly welcomed wherever he went .

ST . PETER'S SCHOOL : PAST v. PRESENT. This match was played yesterday on the School ground in warm but rather dull weather . Mr . Gray won the toss, and sent in Procter and Greenhow to the bowling of Rhodes and Lord . Procter cut Rhodes twice for 2, but Lord with his first ball bowled Greenhow . Gray followed, and with Procter made a determined stand, bringing on Dunkerly and McClellan vice Lord and Rhodes . At 74 Gray was missed at short leg off McClellan, but with only five runs added he was

caught in the long field off the same bowler . Stevenson followed, but was bowled by McClellan after scoring 9 . Sharpe and Procter took the score to 91, when Procter ran himself out . Rhodes here replaced Dunkerly, and soon bowled J . R . Wood, who had followed Procter. Sharpe, after driving the same bowler twice for 2, was bowled at 121. Crawshaw and Walker soon followed, but Ware and Robinson, the latter driving both bowlers for four and a couple of 2 ' s, took the score to 148 before Lord, who had taken McClellan's place, caught and bowled Ware . R . Wood followed but, after a lively hit for four, was bowled by Lord, the innings closing for 152 . Lord and Wilson were the first to represent the Present, Procter and Ware sharing the bowling. Lord began by a fine late cut for two off Procter and a single to leg off the same bowler, and in Ware's first over made a drive for four . Wilson hit the same bowler for three and a good stand was made, bringing on Gray, Sharpe, and J . R Wood in tur n . With the score at 65 Lord was bowled by Sharpe for a good innings of 38. Procter followed and, after hitting Wood for four and two, was clean bowled . Two for 81 . Botterill and Wilson continued to score, bringing on Stevenson vice Sharpe . The former in his second over got Wilson's wicket . Three for rot . McClellan joined Botterill, but soon lost his partner, who was well caught at cover point . McClellan was run out after scoring 1o, and Noble was bowled at 122 . Rhodes and Crawshaw now became partners, and added 23 runs before Rhodes played a ball into his wicket . Dunke rly was bowled after scoring a single, but Little and Crawshaw continued to punish the bowling, bringing on Stevenson vice Sharpe .

v . YORK. Played on York Ground, resulting in a draw . York were the first to bat, and sent in Breed and Dudley, to the bowling of Lord and Rhodes . From the first ball Dudley was caught at cover-point, and the wickets continued to fall fast, Breed being the only one to stay, until Riley came in and a stand was made, the latter quickly hitting up 30 . The last few wickets were soon disposed of, and the innings closed for 149, two men making 1o6 out of the total, Breed, who went in first carried out his bat for a splendid innings of 76 .

CORRESPONDENCE. [To the Editors of the Pefcrite .] DEAR SIRS,

It was my duty as captain of the C .C .C .B .C . early in this term to protest against a slight mistake in the first number of the Peterite issued since the Easter vacation. The mistake I refer to was the heading of one of the paragraphs. " The School v . Corpus Christi, Cambridge . " Far be it from me to detract in the least from the credit the school gained by the handsome manner in which they beat the crew I brought against them . Still, I think, it will be evident to everyone that the title given to this crew by the writer of the River Notes in the Pcterite was, to say the least, misleading . The crew which met the school were all Corpus men, but the boat was not a representative one, nor in the least authorised to risk the credit of the club for good or bad . That the crew was not a representative one is obvious, since only two members of it rowed in the college 1st eight ; and the reason why it became my duty to enter this protest is because it is a rule of the club that no crew shall engage in any race under the club ' s name without the sanction of the committee. You will therefore see, sirs, that the appearance of this number of the Peter/1e caused me some uneasiness, and I saw at once that it was my duty to make a slight protest of some sort in your columns, otherwise I might reasonably be accused of having when captain of my club infringed one of its rules. I hope I shall not be misunderstood in making this protest . I do it simply as a matter of duty ; a duty which is the less pleasant because we were beaten ; as this fact might suggest to some a doubt as to my real motive in thus protesting. All that now remains for me to do is to apologise for the late arrival of this letter, which should have appeared several weeks ago. Yours, etc ., ARTHUR PETERS, (ex-Capt . C .C . C .B .C .)

of Gateshead High School for Boys, has been appointed to the combined offices of Principal of Bishop's College, Lennoxville, in the Province of Quebec, and rector of the Grammar School, vacant by the resignation of Dr . Lobley . Mr . Adams graduated as 19th Wrangler in 1873, and was for nine years Senior Mathematical blaster at St . Peter's School, York .—Guardian. CANON ELWVN, formerly master of St . Peter's School, has been

elected to the Mastership of the Charterhouse . Church Bells thus refers to the matter :—" By the election to the Mastership of the Charterhouse, held on Wednesday, Canon Elwyn, a Carthusian of Carthusians, is placed in Dr . Curry' s seat . The canon's claims to the post stood so high that but little room for choice was left to the governors, for, apart from his known distinction as a scholar— he was a Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge, and Senior Classic —the fact that he was formerly Master of Charterhouse School placed him at once in the forefront of the candidates . The canon, who is at present vicar of Farleigh, is also examining chaplain to the Archbishop of Canterbury ." Mr Elwyn was most popular at York, where he resided for eight years, from 1864 to 1872. He was prebendary of North Newbald from 1571 to 1873 . On leaving York he was appointed to the vicarage of Ramsgate, and in 1SSo was made Rural Dean of Westbere, in which year he was appointed to the vicarage of East Farleigh.
