COMMEMORATION DAY. CHANGE in the weather just before Commemoration Day caused grave anxiety to most people as to whether we should have a fine day or not . Happily, though the early morning was gloomy, it brightened considerably later on, and the afternoon was as fine as could be desired . The usual service was held at half-past ten in the Chapel, which was very tastefully decorated for the occasion . Those who assisted in the decorations were Mrs . Handford, who did the altar and three east windows ; Mrs . Burton and Mrs . Miller, the pulpit ; Miss Veld, the lectern ; Miss Leaf and Mrs . Miller, the choir ; and B . G . T. Scargill, the choir stalls . Dr. Hingston, with his customary kindness, lent some beautiful plants which gave a most charming effect. There was a very fair congregation though we could have wished that more Old Boys could have been able to be present . The officiating clergy were The Head Master, the Rev . A . E . Burton, and the Rev . H . Griffith, vicar of Lockington . The service opened with the hymn "Disposer Supreme . " The lesson was read by E . IV . Clarke. The Rev . H . Griffith, who was formerly a Free Scholar of the School, preached from Joshua v. 13 and 14 . After describing the taking of Jericho, he said that life was a warfare, and the enemies to be subdued were the world, the flesh, and the devil . He bade his hearers take Christ as their Captain, and while aiming high to seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness . As he looked back he thought of those who had been school-fellows with him, of whom some had died, some held high positions, while some had failed and fallen short of their ambitions . Let them trust in Christ and obey Him as their

Commander, and at last they would reign with Him in Heaven . The hymn " For all the Saints who from their labours rest, " was then sung and a collection made . The service closed with a celebration of the Holy Communion . Mr. Sample presided at the organ. The Head Master and Mrs. Handford very kindly entertained at luncheon a large number of friends, the Masters and their wives, and the Old Boys' and Present Boys ' Eleven . Amongst those present were the Bishop of Beverley and Mrs . Crosthwaite, and the Dean and Lady Emma Purey-Cust . In the afternoon a large crowd was present to witness the Old Boys' Match, an account of which is to be found in another column . The weather was lovely and everything went off as well as and one could wish.

SCHOOL LETTER. RIChET is, of course, now in full swing . Looking back and reviewing the short past, who could feel dissatisfied with even the weather favouring us and hindering scarcely one day's practise ? True, at the beginning of the season, the horizon seemed shrouded with a cloud of gloom, but the Eleven at once dispelled it by their wellearned, though easy, victory over the North Riding Asylum . Then the tide of fortune turned — fortune, I say, for what else was it that made us lose the match with Durham, in spite of a fine not-out innings of 41 by our Captain, who deserves all praise for his plucky effort? Sea' variat Fortuna . I am sure we hope it will ; that defeat may change to victory ; one victory but the presage of many more to come. Our three Elevens thus we fain would cheer : but stay—there is the Second we forget, in their first match unlucky losers ; the Third too, quite an innovation by-the-way, as yet triumphant in success. And now, to turn to Boating . The new boats, as most of you will already know, the boats, long promised, have arrived at last, and now are safely stored in the Boathouse. But how can we, Present Peterites, thank the Old Boys adequately for their generous support—nay, for the warm, unselfish interest they have taken in the welfare of their old School ? We can but thank them all most heartily, and in the Boat Race wish them better luck .

And now, before bidding you farewell, I would remind the Present Members of the School that it is the duty of every one of them to support the School Magazine, and not to leave the burden of ex p ense upon the shoulders of a few ; let them show their patriotism by acts, and not by mere idle words, and so prevent the Pctcrite, which may once too often go to the brink, like the pitcher to the well, from some day dying out for ever .

CRICKET. SCHOOL \USTERS. This trial match was played on the School ground, May 1Sth and 19th . Bingham won the toss and elected to bat, sending in Partington and Nevile to face the deliveries of Messrs . Wilkes and Yeld . Partington skied the second ball he received, and retired for a cypher. Disasters did not end here, as with the score at 6 C . Whincup was unluckily run out. Bingham filled the vacancy and quickly settled down, getting Mr . Miller, who had come on in place of Mr. Yeld, away for 7 in one over . R . Whincup was caught from a very poor stroke, and Rose joined Bingham, who was playing capital cricket . These two quickly raised the total, bringing on Mr . Lord for Mr. Wilkes . Rose, however, was unfortunately run out when appearing well set, his 21 included six 2 ' S and a 3 . He played well for his runs, but was decidedly lucky with some strokes . The partnership had realised 56 . Mr . Miller now had his revenge, clean bowling Bingham with the score at S3 . His innings, although not quite free from fault, was an admirable one, and included a 4 and five 3 ' s. With the exception of Addis and Shepherd, who carried out his bat for a useful 16, the remainder did nothing . The innings closed for 1J4. After a somewhat lengthy interval, the masters commenced batting with Mr . Miller and A . M . Sullivan . The start was more disastrous than that of the school, as with 4 on the board Sullivan unluckily hit his wicket . Mr Handford filled the vacancy, but lost Mr . Miller, who was out for an appeal at the wicket . The decision was a doubtful one . Mr. Lord was out in a similar way the very next ball . Mr . Wilkes u

then joined Mr . Handford, but with 12 added, the latter was caught by Addis ; the fielder misjudged the catch, but managed to secure it . Mr. Yeld joined Mr Wilkes, who was playing good cricket, but he slid not survive long, being caught at point by Bingham. Mr . Burton came in only to see Mr . Wilkes caught and bowled by Shepherd for an invaluable 2o . Mr . Sworn, who followed, was very unfortunate in being run out 4 runs later . The innings then quickly came to a close for 51 . Bingham's bowling proved irresistible, he capturing 5 wickets for 7 runs . The fielding of the School team was very good, and it would be unfair to single out any one individual. The masters had just failed to save the follow on, being 83 runs in arrears . Nevile and Sullivan opened the innings, the bowling being shared by Bingham and Addis . Bingham ' s third ball proved too much for Sullivan, as a later one did for Nevile . Messrs . Miller and Handford put on S runs, when Mr . Miller was splendidly caught by Hudson . With the total unaltered, the same fielder caused Mr. Handford's dismissal . Mr . Lord made matters lively whilst he was in, but was out from a good ball by Bingham . Leonard and Mr. Yeld added 17 for the last wicket, but when a change seemed advisable, Leonard put one up and was caught, the masters suffering defeat by an innings and 37 runs. TILL SCHOOL. II . R.

YORKSHIRE GENTLEMEN. Played on the Yorkshire Gentlemen 's ground on Tuesday, May 3oth, and resulted in a win for our opponents by 117 to 37 . Bingham won the toss and sent in Addis and Partington, the attack being shared by Landon and Wood . The second ball of the first over got Partington lbw to Landon, the same bowler sending C . Whincup back the next ball but one . Bingham scored a little off Wood, and brought on A . Worsley in his place . Addis and Bingham brought the total up to 15 before the latter was taken at the wickets . The next two wickets went down without any further addition to the score, and 21 was telegraphed at the fall of the 9th wicket . The longest stand of the innings came now, the last wicket realising 16 runs, Nevile playing very well, although he sent two chances before Hudson was bowled. Having despatched the School for 37, the Gentlemen sent in Schofield and Maughan to face the deliveries of Bingham and Bailey, the former batsman being clean bowled by Bingham ' s third ball . At 5 . W . H . A. Worsley, who had joined Maughan, was taken at the wickets, and his place was taken by Young, who proved rather troublesome and brought on Addis and Nevile, in place of Bingham and Bailey . In Addis ' second over R . Whincup got his lip badly cut by a fast leg ball, and had to leave the field, Eastwood taking his place at the wickets whilst Mr . Lord fielded as substitute . At 62 Young was taken at the wickets, and at 77 Landon, who had replaced Maughan at 35, was well caught at mid-on . After Captain Savile had been caught in the long field, Captain Luke and A . Worsley made a stand, and took the score to 95 before they were separated . The last two wickets put on 22, and so the innings concluded at 117. The School went in again in the same order, Addis being dismissed at 11, after which Partington and C . Whincup and then Partington and Bingham made a good stand, taking the score up to 5o before Partington fell a victim to A . Worsley. Rose and Shepherd were both sent back without scoring, and 55 for 5 wickets was scored when the game concluded . In the first innings the School made rather a poor show in the batting line, but in the second was considerably better. Bailey was very successful with the ball, and Nevile proved useful with his slows, getting two men caught in the long field, one at mid-on, and another at square-leg . The fielding was good, and some fine catches were brought off.

z' . DURHAM SCHOOL. Played on the School ground, on Saturday, June 3rd . The weather was all that could be desired, and a large number of spectators were present . Bingham lost the toss, and Durham batted first, sending in C . Adamson and Fawcus to face the bowling of Bingham and Nevile .

Adamson should have been run out the first ball of the match, but the first wicket did not fall till Fawcus was lbw to Nevile at is. Cumberledge came in his place, but Adamson was well caught in the long field before another run was scored . After Cumberledge had been dismissed for q, with the score at 24, Sadler and Mabane by careful cricket took the total up to 52, when the latter was clean howled by Addis . Afdeck went first ball, and Thornton joined Sadler, only to be caught at mid-on four overs later. When the score was at 61 for 6 wickets, the game was stopped for lunch, Sadler and Wilkinson being at the wickets . After lunch these batsmen made a long stand, and playing very carefully look the total up to for before Bingham effected their separation by bowling Sadler . Wilkinson soon followed, being well caught at third man, and the last two wickets put on 17 more runs, making the total 1'9 . The innings lasted two hours and three quarters. :Addis and Shepherd went in first for the School, C . :Adamson and Wilkinson sharing the bowling . The innings opened rather disastrously, Shepherd being clean bowled at five and C . Whincup being taken at long-off when the score was at 1 r . Bingham then joined Addis, and these two more than doubled the score before Addis was given lbw to Wilkinson. Rose hit a three and then had rather hard lines in being caught at square leg, and Partington was sent back two runs later. R . 1Vhincup then joined Bingham, who had been playing very steadily, and seemed like making matters rather lively, but was not long before he was clean bowled by Adamson, though that wicket had made 17. The next wicket put on 16, Bingham cutting Wilkinson to the boundary several times, the score at Eastwood's dismissal being 76 . At 78 Hudson was out, and then Nevile and Bingham made a long stand, not being separated till Nevile was bowled by Adamson at rob for a well-played 15 . Bailey then partnered Bingham, but ran himself out before many more were made, and the innings concluded for 113, Bingham being not out . The chief features of the game were the innings of Sadler and Bingham, though the former should have been out more than once when his score was only small . Bingham ' s was a fine display of cricket, and if he had only gone in earlier the result of the match might have been different . On the whole the fielding of both sides was good .

This continued till lunch, Addis having taken the ball from Nevile at the School end . A separation was not made till some time after the re-commencement, Addis beating Curran with a splendid delivery, when the total was at ioo, this partnership realising 82 runs.

The next six wickets went down only adding 8 runs to the total, and at 2r Sullivan and Bailey began to score, putting on 15 runs before the innings closed by the latter being clean bowled, ten minutes before time to draw stumps . Bailey hit freely and made some very good strokes on the leg side, but nevertheless had a certain amount of luck. On both sides the fielding was extremely good, but both our batting and bowling was far below the usual standard. AMI'LEFORTII COLLEGE.

BARNARII CASTLE SCHOOL.

This match was played on the School Ground, on Saturday, June Loth . Bingham won the toss, and at 12 o'clock sent in Addis and Shepherd to face the deliveries of Morton and Paynter . In the first over, with only four on the board, Addis was bowled, and C . \Vhincul, filled the vacancy . Two overs later, however, Shepherd was well caught low clown in the slips . Bingham partnered \Vhincup and drove Morton to the on for three, and cut him for a couple . \Vhincup drove Paynter to the off for three, but returned one tamely to the bowler a run later. (3 for 24) . No one stayed long with Bingham until R . AVhincup arrived, the score then being 39 for 6 wickets . Runs now came quickly, Bingham playing especially well, whilst \Vhincup treated both bowlers alike. 50 went up at 1-lo, but 11 runs later, Bingham jumped out at one, missed it, and was bowled . The outgoing batsman having made 28 by good cricket . \Vhincup was caught in trying to drive at 6S, and Sullivan who had joined \Vhincup returned one to the bowler at 75 . Newton whipped In and drove Imeson finely for three.

Both batsmen hit out, and the score had been taken to 96 when the luncheon interval arrived, Hudson being not out 14, and Newton seven. Continuing at 2-20, runs came apace, the roo going up amid cheers. At 112, however, the partnership came to an end, the last two men having added no less than 37 runs . Hudson carried out his bat for 26. After the usual interval, Paynter and Burn opened the visitors innings to the bowling of Bingham and Nevile. The start was a most disastrous one, as Paynter was caught at point, and Thompson bowled before a run had been scored . At three, Burn returned one to the bowler, and eight runs later Alexander was finely taken by the wicketkeeper . Humble was caught from the first ball he received, making half the wickets down for 12 . Manisty was foolishly run out at 19, and the seventh and eighth wickets fell at 20 . Dixon and Imeson put on 18 by careful cricket for ninth wicket, but both left at the same total. The innings closing for 38. After the usual interval, Burn and Paynter opened the visitors second essay, they having had to follow on in a minority of 74 . Paynter was snapped at the wicket with only one on the board . Thompson joined Burn, who began to hit out freely, being especially severe on Newton. Neither batsmen could do much with Addis . Bingham came on vice Newton, but a few overs later handed the ball to Shepherd, who effected a separation, Thompson being taken at point . (2 for 25). On Alexander appearing, another stand was made, and Nevile took the ball from Shepherd, this produced a rapid change, he clean bowling Burn at 46, for a useful, although lucky innings of 27 . Addis bowled Alexander six runs later . Humble played carefully, but Nevile proved to much for the remaining batsmen, and when stumps were drawn there were 9 wickets down for 6r . The visitors being still 13 runs behind, with one wicket to fall. Nevile was the most destructive bowler, taking altogether 8 wickets for 27 runs . The School batting was very uneven, although Bingham and Hudson played well, and Newton and R . Whincup hit hard for their runs . The fielding was on the whole very good, except, perhaps that there was a slight slackness in the visitors' 2nd innings . The catching was very good, Whincup being especially conspicuous in that respect behind the wickets . In addition to Nevile, Bingham and Addis bowled very well .

v. POCKLINGTON G . S. Played at Pocklington, on Wednesday, June 14, and resulted in a disgraceful beating for the School . An early start was made, about 10-30, and Whincup getting the best of the spin sent in Addis and Shepherd to face the deliveries of Harrison and Taylor . Addis soon began to score off Taylor, but neither batsman could get Harrison away, his deliveries being very straight and well pitched, and Shepherd soon was his first victim, caught from a very tame stroke at mid-off. C . Whincup joined Addis, and playing steady cricket, soon brought English on vice Taylor . At 16 Addis was bowled, and two runs later Rose and Partington were sent back without scoring . R . Whincup made three singles, and Nevile saw the score at J4 before he left, C . Whincup falling a victim to mid-off at the same total. Sullivan and Newton each subscribed a single, and the innings closed for the small score of 36, the last three wickets not adding to the total. For Pocklington, Marshall and Rowley first represented the School at the wickets, Addis and Nevile sharing the attack . Marshall played the second ball on to his wickets, letting in Snowden to partner Rowley. At 15 Rowley was clean bowled, and after Butt and Harrison had been despatched, Addis got Snowden lbw for a well played 11 . The next wicket (Swindell) was obtained in rather a peculiar manner. The batsman after running a single strolled out of his ground, and Addis promptly threw at his wickets . The next three men were sent back before they had scored, and English added a 3, the innings closing for 35. After lunch the school went in again, and it was almost a repetition of the first innings, Partington alone reaching double figures . We compiled the meagre total of 41, and then Pocklington knocked up 90 for the loss of 6 wickets, chiefly through the instrumentality of Marshall, Snowden, Iarrison, and Swindell. It may be as well to say that we were without the services of our captain and Hudson on this occasion, and perhaps this may in some way be responsible for the wretched exhibition of cricket we showed .

P . E . LORD, ESQ .'S XI. In consequence of the inability of Ripon School to visit us on Saturday, June 17th, Mr. Lord got together an eleven to play us, including five of the masters. We won the toss, and batted first, Shepherd and Addis opening the proceedings, opposed by Messrs . Yeld and Miller . Shepherd soon began to punish Mr . Miller, cutting him for a 2 and driving him to the off for 3 in the first over, Addis meanwhile contenting himself with singles and an occasional 2 . After a few overs Platt superseded Mr. Miller at the School end, runs still coming, but more slowly . A separation was not made till the total was 58, the second wicket going down at the same score, and the third a run later. This left C . \Vhincup and Partington at the wickets, 110 being reached before Mr . Yeld broke through Partington ' s defence . R . AVhincup joined his brother, and when that wicket put on 23 they both collapsed within two runs of one another, the sixth wicket being down for 1J5. Nothing more happened till Sullivan and Newton raised the total from 137 to 152 for the last wicket but one . Messrs Miller and Williams went in first for our opponents, the latter being taken at the wickets before he had scored. The next three wickets took the score up to J5, and Messrs. Lord and Padel, by dint of good cricket, raised it to 43. Mr . Handford then joined Padel, and 63 was up when the latter was dismissed, the last three men being sent back without scoring. After an interval, Mr . Lord ' s XI . followed on, doing worse than previously, 5 wickets falling for 16 runs . Appended are the scores : TIIP: SCHOOL. J . Shepherd, b Platt R . B .

v . YORKSHIRE GENTLEMEN. Played on the Gentlemen ' s ground, on Tuesday, June 20. The School batted first, Addis and Shepherd opposing the bowling of A. \Vorsley and Landon . The score rose quickly, Shepherd hitting in grand style, and the total reached 20 before Addis was taken in the slips ; Shepherd almost immediately afterwards was given out leg before. Bingham and C . AVhincup were now together, and runs came quickly, Whincup punishing the bowling severely . The pair took the score up to 63 before \Vhincup was bowled for an excellent 28, letting Partington in, who soon hit up 7 and then was bowled by \Vorsley. Rose partnered Bingham, who appeared to have settled down by now, and the score was slowly taken up to 93, when Bingham was given out caught at the wicket for a well played 31 . None of the rest did much except Hudson and Eastwood, and the innings closed for 123. The Gentlemen started batting with Parsons and Fox, to the bowling of Bingham and Nevile, but the former did not stay long, being well caught by Bingham in the slips, and Fox had hard lines in

being run out . A. Worsley now partnered Palmer, who was presently splendidly caught by Rose in the long field, the fielder taking the ball over the Pavilion railings, and falling over the seats with the ball in his hand . Landon joined Worsley, and the score rose quickly to 30 before the former was bowled by Nevile . \V . H . A . Worsley did not survive long, and with Fairfax well caught by Rose, and Captain Luke bowled, the score stood at 54 for 7 wickets, and the eighth wicket fell at 56, A . Worsley being taken in the long field for an excellent 24 . Firth and Schofield were now together, and the score rose rapidly, Firth hitting Bingham for 13 in one over . Newton took the ball from Nevile, and got Firth caught in his first over, and soon afterwards Lord was captured at square leg off the same bowler, the School being left victorious with 30 runs to spare. The fielding of the School was excellent. SCIIOOL. R . B . Addis, c Landon, 1) A . Worsley 1 . Shepherd, lbw, b Landon . . . . C . P . Whincup, b A . Worsley F . 1\1 . Bingham, c Luke, b Firth I I .

OLD BOYS.

This, the annual match with the Old Peterites was played on the School Ground, on Thursday, June 29th. The School went first to the wickets, at 12-30, Addis and Shepherd facing Crowther and Lord . The first five overs produced 30 runs, and Crowther then handed the ball to Metcalfe, who bowled Addis with his second ball . With 7 added C. Whincup, who had filled the vacancy, lost the services of Shepherd . The outgoing batsman had made 2 r by hard hitting . Bingham was bowled off his pads at 45, and Partington left with the total unaltered . Lunch was now taken, the score being 45 for 4 wickets. Rose who had come in just before lunch, partnered Whincup at the resumption at 2-30 . He stayed while 20 were added for the fifth wicket, although only contributing 4 . R . Whincup now joined his brother, and some lively cricket was witnessed, when 21 had

396

CRICKET.

been added R . Whincup called his brother for a short run, and lost his wicket . He had made 25, by good cricket, and was apparently well set . R . Whincup did not long survive, being easily caught at 87. Hudson was bowled at 99, and Eastwood left at 106 . Nevile and Newton made an unexpected stand for the last wicket, 16 being added before Newton was taken off Lord's bowling. The innings closed for 122, Nevile carrying out his bat for a useful 13. After the usual interval, Lord took Naylor to the wickets to face Bingham and Nevile . The slow bowler got rather severely punished, Lord treating most balls the same way, driving and cutting them for 2 ' S and 4 ' S . Naylor was content with singles, but defied all efforts to dislodge him . Boundaries wete frequent, and Lord was constantly applauded for his fine driving . When 57 Lord gave a chance to the wicket-keeper, which was not accepted, this mistake proving very costly. Naylor was unfortunately given out leg before wicket with the score at 120 . He played very well for his 32, and it was a good display of patient cricket. Lord and Birks put on 33 for the 2nd wicket, of which number the latter only contributed a single . No one stayed with Lord till Metcalfe arrived, and then the cricket became of the liveliest character . Lord hit one up to the fives court, and another to the school, which received due recognition from the spectators. Metcalfe also hit out merr ily, although, perhaps, luckily . He left with the total at 2J5, an increase of 57 since the fall of the last wicket. Hancock stayed some overs but allowed Lord to do the scoring . With Crowther ' s advent, Lord ' s magnificent innings came to a close for 193. Although not free from fault, as he was let off by the wicket-keeper at 57, and by mid-on at S6 from a lofty hit. Otherwise, his cricket was of the best, his hitting being well timed and hard . He scored at much the same pace all through, except, perhaps, towards the close when anxious to score his 200, and then his hitting slowed down a bit. This is probably the largest individual score ever made on the school ground, and thoroughly deserved the round of applause which greeted him on his return from the wickets. With Lord's dismissal the innings quickly came to an end for 270 .

CRICKET .

397

The School bowling was really better than the analysis shows, as when the extras, and Lord ' s score are taken away only 70 remains for the other ten men. The School fielding was very good considering the long time they were in the field. Bingham bowled the best, and his balls were generally straight. Although ending disastrously tor the School they have no need to be discouraged, as Lord is well acquainted with their bowling. OLD BOYS.

CAMBRIDGE LETTER. (A'\IBRII)GIE for the last three weeks has been devoted to visitors and frivolity. Third year men . released from the cares of Triposes, have been discovering how much more difficult it is to idle than to work satisfactorily, and have been trying to forget their apprehension or their disappointment in the society of cousins and aunts. The School has not been conspicuously successful in examinations :—Metcalfe has passed the Theological Special, and Fasten has gained a third-class in the Mathematical Tripos ; in the Classical, Wilkinson appears in the second-class, first division of the First Part ; Leaf in the first-class of the Second Part . These facts are now ancient history, but the Cambridge correspondent may nevertheless be permitted to record them . Caius College had this year the honour of owning the Wooden Spoon . After the fortunate man had taken his degree, the spoon, looking it must be confessed more like a spade than a spoon—emblazoned with the college arms and decorated with ribbons of the college colours, was lowered in due form to him from the gallery, and then he was taken round the town at a high rate of speed, riding in state on a handcart, holding the spoon for sceptre, and seated under the shade of a large Japanese parasol . At the Honorary Degrees, Lord Roberts was most enthusiastically received, and next to

him, the Indian Prince, gorgeous in jewelled turban and purple velvet. The gallery wit was of the smallest. In the boat races this year the most remarkable feature was the downfall of "blues " Trinity Hall I . containing two " blues " and several trial caps was discovered to be slower than the second boat of the same college, and at the last moment changed places with it ; even then it descended two places . First Trinity I . were unquestionably the fastest boat on the river, but were unable to catch Trinity Hall' though they generally came near it. Next year we shall be glad to see Clarke in residence as a scholar of S . Catharine ' s, and to welcome Mitchell to Canis, where we hope to see him achieve the athletic fame which we know to be his due . G . C . C.

OXFORD LETTER. T seems that not even in the sanctity of the Long are we to be safe from the importunities of the Pelerite Editor, for even as we stood with trembling heart upon the very threshold of " Collections" we received one of his dreaded demands. We suppose the Summer Term was as all Summer Terms have been and will be, except that to judge from the ever increasing influx of visitors, Oxford is fast becoming a mere suburb of London . We had the inevitable Unionist L)emonstration at the beginning of Term. The torch-light procession produced many Falstaffian stories, and proved a very mine of wealth for the tailors. Though the Eleven can scarcely be said to have had a very prosperous season, still on one or two occasions, more especially against the Australians, they gave a good account of themselves . Leveson Gower has shown himself to be an excellent bat ; and let us hope that \Vilson and Berkeley, with Bathurst and Arkwright, will once more put to shame those who say that Oxford has no bowlers. The Eights were as exciting as usual, Trinity's success being the most phenomenal, every-one thought they were going to bring off the highest possible in bumps till their victorious career was stopped by Queen ' s .

Oxford is at present suffering from an _Esthetic revival . Strange garments of divers colours, hats bedecked with lilies . masculine Firms bedizened with bracelets are to be seen on the Cherwell, while uncouth langua g e concernin g " greens " and amethyysts " in tones " and • ` keys " .spirit may once more be heard in the High . The Lamps, that organ of Neo-Hellenic Culture, inspired by the " man of a coarse habit of body and still coarser habit of mind, " Oscar Wilde, produces periodic '" Impressions " in French, and last moonings of J . A . Symonds. Its Philistine " and banansic " rival, the Isis, bids fair to become an Oxford " Granta, " notwithstanding that it reeks not of the higher Philosophy and discourses of questions, evident to any normal capacity " such as " Is Cambridge played out ? " The Union Debates have been quite above the average, but the President has had rather a bad time in Private Business . However, it was too much to expect that members would refrain from the opportunity of "ragging " a noble Earl. Koptic is still the prevalent language at Oxford, but in addition to the " —ger " termination, " bladder " is now put on to the end of every word, and we heard a two-horse tram described as a "double-ogger trigger-bladder " the other day. Oxford O .P ' s . (we can use the plural) congratulate Cambridge OP' s. upon their many and various successes.

CORRESPONDENCE. [To

THE EDITOR OF THE " PE'1'EI:I"1'E .",

DEAR SIRS,

I hope you will give me space to say a few words in answer to K .G ., who seems to be considerably annoyed with me . I will promise to avoid all personalities, an(I will not speak of " petty cavils, " " complete ignorance, " or " sheer perverseness, " nor will I suppose that difference of opinion necessarily means loss of common sense and even of morality. I must first apologise to R .G. for hurting his feelings by reading one sentence of his letter in connection with another . I beg to inform him that I not only read his letter with care, but examined it closely, and reading in one place that " the Day Boys are regarded as too insignificant a factor of the School for any serious consideration, " I thought,

CORRESPONDENCE.

without any wish to mis-state or pervert, I might reasonably take the expression "combination of folly and favouritism," as his opinion of the late system . If the above sentence does not charge the authorities with favouritism, I cannot imagine what it means . I leave it to your readers. I hope R .G. will see that I had no wish to deliberately misquote him, and, if he will explain what other construction to put on his words, I shall better understand his present indignation . That the new system may be a present success, I strongly hope ; that it will be a permanent one, I cannot expect or desire . Whatever R .G. thinks, I maintain my statement that House contests are recognised as the best means of encouraging the keenness necessary for athletic success . May I quote one whose name may carry weight even to the mind of R G .? Mr . Edward Lyttelton says :—" To set House against House is a sure and certain way of provoking interest . A glance at boys playing in these and at others playing in pick up games will detect the difference in the zest and keenness of the combatants . " But hatever may be thought on this question, I think we shall all condemn the maxim that men are to give up whenever there seems no chance of success . Yet R .G. says :—" It is impossible that men should be found to practise regularly, or even row at all, when they have nothing to look forward to but hopeless defeat . " Such a view I have no hesitation in describing as utterly un-English, and opposed to every tradition of Public School life. However, I will not waste your space in arguing such a question ; I am only writing to clear myself from the charge of misquoting, and to sp ew R .G ., if possible, that because I differ from him about some particular system, I do not necessarily support favouritism or wish to ensure the continual ill-success of any section of the School . We both desire the welfare of the Boat Club, and, if we differ as to the modus operandi, there is no need to show a spirit of bitterness. To conclude, the Day Boys have been strong enough to beat the Houses before, and with careful practice may soon be strong enough to do so again ; at any rate the success of their second boat this year looks like it. Meanwhile, adopt any plan that seems likely to improve matters, and let your energy be devoted to hard and unselfish work without continually harping on favouritism .—I am, yours truly, GEORGE H . EYRE .
