JULY, 1889 .

i. No . 81.

COMMEMORATION DAY. I' . Peter's day was celebrated with the usual ceremonies and festivities. In the morning divine service was held in the School Ch $pel, which was decorated for the occasion with choice floral delicacies by Mrs. Handford, Mrs . Yeld, Mrs . Gilbert, and the A] xoe Naylor and Scargill, the plants being chiefly lent by Dr . Hingston . The clergy taking part in the service were the Dean of York, the Ven . E . Barber, Archdeacon of Chester, Foundation Scholar of the School in 1856 and Exhibitioner in 186o ; the Rev . G. T . Handford, M .A . ; the Rev . C. R . Gilbert, M .A . ; the Rev . W. O . F . Campbell, and the Rev . G . H. Hewison, M .A . The service opened with the hymn " Disposer Supreme ." The Dean read the prayers and the Ven . Archdeacon took his place in the pulpit, the choir singing as an anthem " 0 God, whose awful praise is sung," The Archdeacon preached an appropriate sermon, taking for his text, " When thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren ."—Luke xxii ., 32 . He said that the text had a special application to a public school, for that was a little world in itself . As in the greater world outside there were ever those who by position and influence, or by force of character, commanded the attention of their fellows, and became their leaders and their guides, so were there those in such an institution . The words "strengthen thy brethren " might be addressed with peculiar emphasis to the senior boys, who had it in their power to influence those younger than themselves . They were called upon to do all they could to form a wholesome public opinion, to discountenance all that was dishonourable, ungentlemanly, and vicious, to stamp out all that was low, and to be the leaven that should leaven the whole school . The tone of the school must depend in a great measure upon them, upon their words as well as upon their

actions, and upon the tone of the school depended also in a great measure the future life, nay, more ! the eternal welfare of those who were passing through it . Character was moulded in school life in a marked degree, and the impress would be gained by a boy far more from his fellows than from his masters . Thirty years ago it was his privilege to occupy the most important position in this school which it was possible for any boy to hold, and how vain now were his regrets that he did not then do more to strengthen his brethren. He therefore enforced, with added emphasis, upon those who now occupied that place the lesson of his text . He bade them aid the defenceless and the weak, stand up for that which was just and true and pure, speak friendly words to those who needed them when first they experienced the strange world of school life, and cause no unnecessary pain by shafts of ridicule or taunting words or hard blows. They were to be their brothers' keepers ; and he bade them look to Christ for guidance and for help to fulfil the lesson of the text . At the close of the sermon the Dean offered up the brayer for the Church Militant and pronounced the benediction, which brought the service to a close. The offertory was on behalf of Bishop Ridley 's (New Caledonia) Fund, the Universities ' Mission to Central Africa, and the Emigration Fund of the York Industrial School for Boys, the last named being the home charity to which Mr . Handford has determined to devote the offerings of the school . The 7th Prose from the York Processional was sung as an anthem . Mr . Sample officiated at the organ, and the choir, with a complement of day boys, sang well and heartily . At the luncheon afterwards at the School House the Head Master entertained his colleagues, the Dean of York and Lady Emma Purey-Cust, the Yen . Archdeacon Barber, Canon and Mrs . Raine, Mrs . Veld, Mrs. Scargill, Mrs Gilbert, Mrs . Campbell, the Past and Present Elevens, and the Captain of the School. In the afternoon Mrs . Handford received a numerous company in the cricket field, where the match versus the Old Boys was proceeding. The weather, which was awful last year, and even compelled the spectators to take refuge in the school buildings, was all that could be desired . An account of the victory of the School will be found in another column .

SCHOOL LETTER .

435

SCHOOL LETTER.

ENTLE reader, your correspondent relies on your often-tried clemency to allow him to draw once more on that trite wellseasoned subject—the weather . For once we may say that so far the meteorological conditions have been all that could possibly be desired, and—for there is no rose without its thorn—even more so ; witness the bumpy wickets and parched cricket grounds . Consequently, there has been moderate facility for getting in cricket practice, and the result will be apparent on another page in the comparative success which has attended the XI.'s efforts . We have to regret, however, the stoppage of several interesting matches towards the beginning of the term— notably that with Ripon Grammar School, Durham, two against St. George's (Harrogate), am:1--x nnrrrfirer - against St: —Gecrrge's Collcgc, -Ila 1 4tc ; owing to an outbreak of measles in the School House, which, notwithstanding every possible precaution being taken to prevent such occurrences, were imported in a most careless and casual manner just after the Easter Holiday. It is our interesting duty to report a complete—we were going to say revolution—reform which has been carried out respecting the once august and otiose Civil and Military Department . ' The Civil ' has been split up and consigned to the various forms, each of which has now a modern side . We are sure of the tears of its quondam members being added to ours, while we lament the demise of the once popular and flourishing institution, 'The Civil and Military Department .' The Dean and Chapter are also offering this year a Scholarship, open to the members of the modern side, on the same conditions as the Classical Scholarships, of .4- 15 a year for two years, which will we feel sure infuse fresh life into the proceedings of its representatives A flagstaff has been erected on the hill opposite the entrance near

the School House, and in such a position that it can be seen from Bootham, on which, on matches and other red letter days a blue and white flag is hoisted ; this, together with small flags which mark the boundaries on the cricket ground, add greatly to the tout ensemble of the field on match days. We had almost omitted to mention that this is the gift of Mrs . Handford. Apropos of cricket, we may mention that it has been remarked by those whose long acquaintance with the School entitles their opinion to

436

OXFORD LETTER.

consideration, that never in the course of their connection with it has the fielding of the XI . been so consistently smart and accurate, and that the appearance of the field has never been so satisfactory. At the beginning of the term a boat consisting of Metcalfe, Mitchell, Chilman, and S . O . Bingham practised with a view to competing in the York Regatta ; but that was found to clash with a cricket fixture and so had to be abandoned . It was attempted to arrange—and in fact it was partially effected—a race between Durham and the School, but Durham were unable to put a boat on the river at the date we suggested, consequently this idea had to be given up. We may congratulate the School on the accumulation of honours which it is our pleasant duty to record—a list which we venture to state has never, at all events of late years, been exceeded . Thompson's success, for which we heartily congratulate him, is perhaps unique for a longer period than we feel competent to vouch for.

OXFORD LETTER. HE Summer Term was ushered in by a spell of glorious weather. and has died away in a halo of glory . It is, however, the duty of a poet and not of the editorial pen to describe the beauties of the famous town of Oxford . The summer eights have of course been the feature of the term . Better rowing than that between B .N .C . and New has seldom been witnessed. The latter were by far away the strongest boat, and it was only the indomitable pluck of the B .N .C . stroke, hent, that enabled them to remain ahead . The top boats were really far above the average. As nearly all the New men will be in residence next term the prospects of the Varsity crew are decidedly rosy . St. Peter' s was represented in three boats : W . G . Wilson rowed 6 in the Worcester boat, W . Cobb manned the 3 thwart in the Hereford crew, and J . H . G . Wilson officiated in a similar capacity among the Queen's contingent . O . W. Whiteman, who will be remembered as acting as referee in the O .P. race, also rowed 7 for Exeter, and made four bumps, and but for bad luck would have gone up every night. In the cricket field the School has not shone, its shining light, H . W . Rhodes, pre-

ferring to transfer his energies to legal studies instead of rattling up centuries, breaking wickets, and maiming batsmen . The Varsity XI. has probably never been so bad before . H . R . Jardine was the only

CAMBRIDC ;E LETTER .

prominent freshman up, and has turned out the most reliable batsman in the team . Football, which had almost been forgotten, was brought before the University world by a proposal to establish a Rugby Cup. A meeting was held to consider the question . After an animated discussion, in which the only Peterite present took a prominent, we may almost say virulent part, prejudice triumphed, and the proposal was rejected. The festivities of Commemoration proceeded on the even tenour of their way . Various balls took place, Worcester, amongst other colleges, having decided to give the numerous fair dames who have flocked era masse to the ancient city an opportunity of displaying their waltzing abilities. The past term has only had one drawback . The proctorial system has long been a nuisance, but these last few weeks has out-Heroded Herod . Never have proctors been so abnormally active . Not a few young gentlemen have been relegated to the joys of the country . The Schools have come and gone . A . Wade, W. G . Wilson, C . Cobb, and H . W . Rhodes have all essayed their torments . It has been well said that Oxford without schools would be Paradise . The serpent has R. verily entered therein ; who will crush it?

CAMBRIDGE LETTER. E find ourselves unable conscientiously to complain of the too great importunity of Peterite editors of these latter days in the matter of Cambridge letters, and so though deprived of our pet grievance, with a benediction on their heads for past mercies, we begin our task. For the last few days Cambridge has been in full enjoyment of the May week delights, consisting mainly in the appearance of examination lists, in "having one's people up," and the May races, probably so called from the fact that they always take place in June, on the same analogy as that by which a certain mariner was familiarly known as "Italian Bill," the reason as set forth by one of his fellows being— "Course we call him Italian Bill, why his father was a Frenchman and his mother a Swede ." Disregarding their title, let us take the races first . As was thought likely Third Trinity caught Trinity Hall on the

43 8

CAMBRIDGE LETTER.

first night and went ahead, a position which they found no difficulty in retaining, while the Hall had to give way on the third night to First Trinity, who finished second . Of the boats in which Peterites were engaged Pembroke with Crawshaw at bow was, early in practice, considered one of the best, if not the best boat, but they subsequently fell off, and suffering one bump descended to fourth place . Selwyn, stroked by Hutchings, did great things, rising every night and mounting from the second division to a more or less secure position in the first. Hopkins, our only other representative, ably coxed St . Catherine's, but there must have been a little something wanting in the rest of the crew, as they ultimately carried off the wooden spoon of racing matters. Our own correspondent may be expected to give his own special opinion on cricketing matters, which, when the veil of anonymity is drawn over his personality, is as good as any one elses . At the beginning of the term and during the triposes, which drew off some of our best men, the 'Varsity matches did not show us up to any great advantage, but in the meeting with Yorkshire two innings of over 200 runs a piece were played, the runs on the two occasions being got by different men, which would seem to prove that batting power is not lacking. In the bowling line we have four reliable men, though Woods, to judge by results, is not in quite such form as last year. We are not aware that there are any cricket doings of O .P . 's to relate; now that Lord has left us, we believe we are right in saying that the well-rolled field knows none of our number. Three O .P ' s . take their degrees this June, and four are going down for good. We anxiously await the result of numerous scholarships . X.

CRICKET. v. BRADFORD GRAMMAR SCHOOL. HIS, our first match, was played on our own ground . We were favoured with a lovely day, and the wicket was fairly hard—a very rare occurrence last season . Very few of last year ' s colours are left with us, so the XI . was principally composed of new blood. Unfortunately we were without the help of W . M . Carter, a bowler of last year's reputation and of much promise . Our opponents, winning the toss, batted first . No one was able to make any stand against Crowther and Metcalfe, except Ellis . Crowther succeeded in bringing off the hat trick, and he ought to prove a valuable bowler . Our first attempt was marked by the first-class innings of Wellburn, who, after making 53 by good sound cricket, was unfortunately run out . Keeling bowled very well for Bradford, and often beat our batsmen . Thanks to Keeling our opponents reached 70 in their second innings We finally scored a victory by 9 wickets ; Mitchell knocking off the required runs in fine style .

v. DONCASTER GRAMMAR SCHOOL. This match was played on the School ground, on May 21st . The School Captain won the toss, and elected to bat on a hard and fiery wicket . He took \Vellburn with him to the wickets, and the pair ran up 25 before Vellburn was yorked by Brundell . Hudson did not afford much trouble to the scorers, but when Crowther came in the score was rapidly taken to 76, when Mitchell had to leave . He gave a hard chance to cover point before scoring, otherwise his innings was played without a mistake. Metcalfe hit about vigorously and knocked up 34 by some very clean hitting . Bingham added 12 when the innings was declared at an end . Crowther 's 20 was perhaps the most correct innings of the game . Those who had an innings shewed more dash than is usual in the School batting. Little need be said of the Doncaster innings, except that they helped to raise the bowlers ' averages . Their fielding was fair . ST . PETER'S SCHOOL. F . Mitchell, b Brundell . .

443

on to Cundall . His 23 was very vigorous ; it included one 4 and six 3 'S . After this no one made much of a show until nine wickets were down for 50, when Whitby joined Naylor . The pair shewed very good cricket, Whitby especially being very dashing : he deserves great credit for his very plucky innings ; and no less can be said of Naylor, who is about as energetic and persevering as it is possible to be . The score reached IoI, out of which Naylor, Whitby, Mitchell and the never failing extras contributed 83 . What have the other eight to say? Two-and-a-quarter runs apiece ! The School went out into the field after a shower of rain, Crowther and Metcalfe facing Twineham and Tate . Runs came quickly, and at 21 Wellburn was put on and bowled Twineham in his first over . Law was next, and another stand was made, in consequence of which Mitchell came on and bowled Tate, which brought the call of time . The school fielding was good . The bowlers had not a fair chance owing to the greasy state of the ball. ST. PETER'S SCHOOL. F . Mitchell, b Cundall F . Wellborn, c and b Nicholson . . .. W . A. Hudson, c Muchall, b Nicholson F .

v . YORKSHIRE GENTLEMEN. The School opened the batting with Mitchell and Wellburn to the bowling of Bramall and Fox . Mitchell at once began to hit, and got 13 out of the first r8, at which total Wellburn was lbw to Allcock, who had gone on vice Fox . Hudson was next, and was run out at 26; on Crowther joining Mitchell a little more life was put into the game, and the score travelled to 45, when Mitchell, who had made 31, was bowled in trying to pull Garforth. Crowther made a useful ro and went the way of all men . Garland's 9 was also good . Again the noble eight made 21 . They are about to raise their average to three each . The innings closed for 71 . Mention must be made of the really splendid catch at square leg which dismissed F . M . Bingham . The Gentlemen opened their innings with Brogden and Jones, the former of whom was dismissed with the total at 7 . Cayley came in, and the School bowling had rather a rough time of it . The score was taken to 65 when Crowther bowled Jones, whose 19' included a splendid leg hit for 5. Mitchell then went on, and dismissed the next three batsmen in a short time, when rain put a stop to the game . The fielding was good, Garland and Whitby being especially good . Mitchell ' s wides were by far the most successful in the bowling way. ST . PETER'S SCHOOL. F. Mitchell, b Garforth . . F . Wellburn, lbw, b Allcock . . W . A. Hudson, run out . . . . F . C .

v. LEEDS GRAMMAR SCHOOL. This match was played on June 8th, on the School ground, in lovely weather. Leeds won the toss and elected to bat . Before a run was scored Tannett was run out, and, after getting a single off Carter, Westcott was bowled by Metcalfe. Johnson scored 12 by steady play, and at lunch time the score was 45 for five wickets . After the interval three wickets fell rapidly at 55, but, thanks to the last two men, the score reached 77, Hodson making a splendid 20. Carter, who made his first appearance this year, took seven wickets for 40 . His great fault is that he sends down one leg ball, at least, every over . Crowther, made a splendid left hand catch at mid-off standing near in, and, on the whole, the fielding was good . Mitchell, as usual, was accompanied by Wellburn, and the score was raised to 9 when Mitchell was bowled for 7 . Crowther made but a single and let in Bingham . The latter, with Wellburn, shewed very good form, and they raised the score to 39 before Wellburn left for a very good 16 . Then came a collapse, five being down for 43 . Bingham however stayed and raised the score to 61 before he was caught at point. His 24 was a very plucky innings. The innings closed for 68 . The Leeds men came again in the same

446

CRICKET.

order, and were all dismissed for 51, Westcott making II and Thompson ro . Carter bowled well, taking six wickets for 22 . The fielding was very smart throughout the innings . An hour was left for play, the School requiring 61 to win . Mitchell and Metcalfe went first, and in three overs got 19 runs, when the latter was run out for a very useful I1 . Mitchell went at 24, having made 12 by some good hits . The next wicket fell at 27, and the excitement began to be great . Carter got 5, and then Garland and Naylor got together, and it was chiefly through their efforts that the School won . The winning hit was made by Naylor amidst great enthusiasm a quarter of an hour before time . Great credit is due to Naylor and Garland for the plucky way in which they played and ran. ST .

v. YORK REVELLERS. The School won the toss and went in on a rather fiery wicket. Wellborn and Mitchell were dismissed in two balls, and indeed no one save Crowther and Whitby did anything to the bowling of Barnett and Stephenson . The innings closed for the paltry total of 38, which we hope will be the lowest this season . The Revellers, thanks chiefly to Masterman and Brown, scored 77 . Carter bowled very well, but it is a great pity that he bowls so many leg balls . The School fielding was very smart . Mitchell achieved the unenviable distinction of a pair of spectacles . Wellburn played a very good innings for 20, and Metcalfe got to in about five minutes . While on the one hand we may tear our hair and throw dust on our heads for our wretched batting display, we may congratulate ourselves that we dismissed such a good batting team for 88 . ST.

v . OLD BOYS. This match was played, as usual, on Commemoration Day . The day was all that could be desired ; the wicket was rather fast in consequence of the continued dry weather. The Old Boys won the toss and decided to bat first . Their team was more numerous than had been expected, for great difficulty was experienced in collecting the men . The batting of the Old Boys was not very formidable . Carter was the only one who gave much trouble; Hutchinson and Walker however played well for ro and IS respectively . Metcalfe bowled well, getting four wickets for q runs, while Mitchell got two for 7 . The fielding of the` School was smart and good all round . The Old Boys scored 86 altogether . The innings of the School opened inauspiciously, but Wellborn and Crowther improved matters, and Metcalfe made a good stand, hitting hard and well for 5 7 before he succumbed at last to the deadly " sneaks " of W. G . Wilson . Naylor stayed in a long time for a patient and careful 22, .and Howgate quickly knocked up 14 . The score of the School reached a total of 16o . The Old Boys then went in a second time and made
