smartly from cover point got Glaisby run out. Carter then came in but was quickly caught by Scott at third man, while the new-corner, Dr. Law, retired almost at once well caught by Bingham the younger off Metcalfe. At 53 Smith fell to Mitchell, and at 54 Mitchell again did the needful by bowling Dr. Nicholson with a grand ball. After this the bowling seemed to be anything but good, as Atkinson and Waterhouse were allowed to score very fast, but at last Waterhouse succumbed to one of Mitchell's fast "yorkers." The last man caused very little trouble, the innings ending for 77.

At 4 o'clock Mitchell and Naylor took the wickets opposed by W. M. Carter and Atkinson. At 16 Mitchell was forced to retire being extremely well caught and bowled by W . Carter. Bingham (2) then joined Naylor, but before making much of a score was unfortunately given out lbw. Whitby then paid a very short visit to the wickets, the first ball being too much for him. After this disastrous state of affairs Metcalfe went in and stayed a little time, during which Naylor was bowled for a steady innings of 8, and Scott being soon disposed of, Carter joined Metcalfe, who was soon after bowled . Of the rest the less said the better, as they all, Carter the one bright exception, seemed to have forgotten that it is necessary to stop a straight ball.

v. RIPON.

This match was played on our own ground in delightfully fine weather, and the result may be pronounced a decided success, the school winning the match by 6 wickets and 27 runs . The Riponites went to the wickets first and put together the substantial total of 128. The highest scorers were C. E. Ligertwood with 53, a very good performance, and Fenton with a well played 26. Of the rest, J. G. Ligertwood alone got into double figures. Metcalfe took 6 of the wickets.

Mitchell and Naylor started the batting for St. Peter's. The latter was unfortunately bowled off his pads after making only a single. Mitchell made a capital stand and was not disposed of until 68 runs were registered to his account, while Bingham (2) played well for his 24 . Whitby next came in and soon hit up 14 . Metcalfe and Scott, who were not out, should be mentioned for some nice scoring, the former hitting hard for his 35 .

V. YORKSHIRE GENTLEMEN.

The " event " of the season was undoubtedly this match with the Yorkshire Gentlemen when the school scored the magnificent total of 219. As might be expected the utmost enthusiasm was evoked when Mitchell made his second century against the good bowling of the Gentlemen. Whitby 's J7 was hit up in first rate style and he was very fairly backed up by the rest of the team who nearly all scored .useful figures. It would not have been a matter of very great surprise had the school team, of course making a respectable show, been beaten by an eleven containing such men as Lord Hawke, Capt . Lloyd, 'G. H. Aitkin, and A. Worsley. But tremendous excitement was manifested when the school by nice bowling succeeded in dismissing the first few batsmen and actually ran a very respectable chance of making a win of it. We ought here to mention specially the good bowling of Naylor and the capital fielding of the Peterites as a whole. Time unfortunately would not allow us to do as we hoped, and we had to rest satisfied with getting rid of the first 6 wickets containing the most dangerous men for 163, leaving a margin of 56 for the remaining 4 wickets. Of the Gentlemen, Lord Hawke made the highest score 6o, followed by Worsley and Aitkin who made 39, 25 respectively of course in very good style. Once more we offer our hearty congratulations to the team on the great success they have achieved in making so good .a show against one of the strongest teams we have met on the ,Gentlemen's ground.
