THE PRIZE-f;IVI\G .

Referring to the chief events of the year, he said he had to regret the loss of Mr . AVhittam, who left last Christmas, after being science master at the school for more than four years.

He then stated that the School was visited by an epidemic of influenza in the Easter term, which had incapacitated himself, and thereby had had a serious effect on the work of the Sixth Form.

Mr . Barnby, who had taught music at the School for many years, was going to retire from the work, and Mr . Miller, who had been at the School for four years, was leaving . Mr. Sworn also, who had been science master for only two terms, was about to leave.

He then made a few remarks as to the satisfactory state of the games, mentioning that we again held the Yorkshire Schools Cup, and alluding to our victory over the Yorkshire Gentlemen.

The reports of the Examiners were now read : Mr . R . D . Hicks (Oxford and Cambridge Examination Board), who examined the Sixth Form in Classics, congratulated Clarke on his work, and expressed his regret that Scargill was not well enough to go in for the examinations . Ile thought Cotterell had it in him to excel in Classics, if he had not shown such a taste for Mathematics.

He wished that there were more boys in the middle of the form to produce more competition for the upper boys and to show the younger ones the way.

The Rev. J . R . Lunn (Oxford and Cambridge Board), who examined the First Division in Mathematics, was greatly pleased with the work of Cotterell . He presented a very favourable report, but said that Cotterell was far better than anyone else in the division.

Mr. V . H . Veley (Oxford) reported favourably on the Chemistry and Physics Board Examination, though there was only one candidate (Eastwood) in for it.

The Rev . J . S . Serjeant (Cambridge) sent a very commendatory report of his examination of the 5th and 4th Forms ar,d scholarship candidates in Classics.

The reports of the Rev . G . Edmundson, examiner of the and, 3rd, and 4th Divisions in Mathematics, and also of the forms taking

THE.

PRIZE-GIVING.

French and German, and of Mr. J. C . Willis, who examined the 5th and 4th Forms in Science, were read, and were also of a satisfactory nature.

The Dean expressed his pleasure at being present at the prize-giving, especially at a school like this that had such a long standing and honourable prestige . I-ie said that in a great many ways the boys of the present day were reaping the benefit of lessons learnt and educational difficulties solved at the time when he was at school . He said that it was once thought that the School (lid not date back farther than the time of Philip and Mary, but now it had been proved that it was the oldest school in England, and traced back its foundation to at least the year 700 .

All praise was due, he said, to the masters for the persevering way they had worked in spite of various difficulties, and he hoped the School would long continue in the high position it at present occupied.

The prizes were now distributed.

Cheers were given for the Dean and Lady Emma, the Head Master, &c ., and a large number of guests were afterwards entertained by the Head Master and Mrs . Handford at a garden party .

SCHOOL LETTER. T was not till August 3rd that our weary spirits were set free to roam at pleasure, or to rest in peace ; things have gone on very well I think since then ; true . we had some very hot days in August, but then there was no Oxford and Cambridge Board to pester us, and we could stretch ourselves out for repose without fear of the School bell

summoning us to fresh efforts . The sports were a success, though no band attended ; Partington led the way in most of the senior events, but nevertheless there were some remarkably close contests . The Prize giving was held on the day after the sports, and after various reports, list of honours, etc ., had been read, the prizes were given away by our ever kind and faithful friend, the Dean of York. Then followed, what is usually a garden party, but this year owing to the inclement state of the weather, the guests were regaled in the School building; and a very gay aspect the old School hall presented ; and once methought I saw a grim smile of approbation spread o'er the grizzly features of those wooden heads that watch unceasingly from the roof of the School hall ; the VI . form and the teams were there too and were never seen to greater advantage ; in fact, the hospitality of our host and hostess was heartedly appreciated, and deservedly too . Thus ended a very pleasant term, though unavoidably a long one, and though holidays are dear, some enthusiasts perhaps grudge an inroad into the popular football term . Mr . Miller, 1V . Form master, is leaving us and our hearty good wishes will follow- one, who has proved so valuable a help to the school in work and sports ; while Mr. Sworn, a later acquisition, has obtained a head-mastership, and we shall therefore see him no more ; F . M . Bingham the captain of the house, cricket and football teams, and R . A\lineup a member of both cricket and football teams have also left ; both we shall sadly miss ; but still let us hope to keep up the reputation of St. Peter' s at football during the coming term, and for another year hold the Challenge Cup.

LEEDS G . S.

Played at Leeds in splendid weather, on Saturday, July 1st . Leeds won the toss, and sent in Johnson and Matthews to oppose the attack of Bingham and Nevile . In the second over Johnson returned one hard to Nevile, who failed to hold it, and the next over was badly missed in the slips . With to on the board the same batsman was given out caught at the wicket, though the decision was thought to be rather dubious .

Three runs later Barber was caught at point before he had scored, and Matthews and Roberts took the total to 30, when a separation was effected by Addis bowling the former off his pads . Roberts saw the next two men out, and then fell a victim to Addis . Thorp being the only man to score after this . With Leeds all out for 43, Shepherd and Addis went in for the School, but the start was a very bad one, Addis being clean bowled by Thorp before a run had been registered.

C . AV'hincup started with an off drive for 5 off Hewetson, and took the total to 17 before he was dismissed . Bingham came in next and soon began to punish the bowling, getting Hewetson away to the off for 4, and sending Thorp to the boundary on several occasions . He lost Shepherd soon, and Partington was sent back the next over, Rose remaining till the score was 31 . R . Whincap joined Bingham and raised the total to 39 when lunch-time arrived . Starting again at two o ' clock they put quite a different complexion on the game, and treating both bowlers alike, the score rose rapidly, till at 69 Bingham was well caught in the long field . After Hudson had been sent hack, Whincup ' s merry innings soon came to an end, being caught at mid-off from rather a tame stroke—S7 up . The last wicket but one put on 19 runs before Nevile was caught at point, and Newton was sent back first ball by a fast delivery from Bettany, the innings closing for rob.

After the customary interval, Leeds followed on, being 63 to the bad, Johnson and Matthews going in first, as before . Johnson sent Bingham for 5 the second ball, but was taken in the slips off the same bowler next over but one . Barber was dispatched without any addition to the score, and then Roberts joined Matthews . A stand was now made and both bowlers (Bingham and Addis) were well punished, and when Newton took the ball from Addis runs still came freely, Nevile then came on vice Bingham, and the innings came to a close with wonderful rapidity . In his first over Nevile drove Matthews on to his wickets, in the next sent back Portway and Bettany, and in the third dismissed Thorp and Hewetson, as yet not a run had been scored off him . In his fourth over Newstead was missed at mid-off, but North was clean bowled next ball, and so the innings closed for 63.

The School now wanted one run to win on both innings, and Shepherd and Addis again went to the wickets . The former obtained a single off Bettany ' s first ball and the School thus won by io wickets.

The fielding of the School was not as good as usual especially in Leeds second venture, and several catches were dropped.

AMPLEFOR'I'II.

This match was played on the School ground on Tuesday . July 4th.

The visitors won the toss but put us in, Addis and Shepherd bein g opposed by Hines and Blackledge at 1r-o . The start was disastrous Shepherd succumbing to the second ball sent down by Hines . Matters (lid not improve as C . Whincup was bowled by Blackledge with only 1 on the board . L'ingham joined Addis and both played carefully but runs were hard to get . With to up Addis was caught at the wicket and Partington was foolishly run out at the same total . Rose joined Bingham only to see him clean bowled by Hines . R . Whincup, the new corner, was brilliantly caught at long leg and Hudson was out to a good catch at 14 . Rose played very carefully and was quite fifteen minutes before making his first run . Eastwood was unluckily run out at 21 and Neville bowled by Blackledge a couple of runs later.

Newton joined Rose but with 6 added, the latter' s leg stump was shot down by Curran . Rose's innings was a careful and invaluable one.

The innings closed for 29 . Blackledge took 4 wickets for 10 runs.

At 12-20 Curran and Blackledge opened the visitors' venture, the bowling being entrusted to Nevile and Newton . The start was as bad as our own, Blackledge being snapped at the wickets at r and Powell caught and bowled by Newton 5 runs later . Hind stayed some time with Curran, who was playing very good cricket, although scoring somewhat slowly . Sixteen were added before Nevile found his way to Hind's stumps, and with Hines in our score was passed with only 3 wickets down . Curran played well and steadily, but lost Hines at 35.

Priestman was smartly caught by Bingham with one hand off his own bowling at 47, and Mackey who succeeded him retired for a cypher at 52 . R . Whincup caught Pentony low down a run later but then Dawson stayed with Curran till the lunch bell rang, when the total was 6o for 7 wickets . On resuming at 2-20 both played well and the score rose quickly until at 97 Dawson was secured at cover point the pair having added 44 for the Sth wicket . The last two wickets added 12 and the innings closed for 109 . Curran carried out his bat for a well played 73.

Eighty behind, the School commenced their 2nd innings . Addis and Shepherd again going to the wickets to face the deliveries of Hines and Blackledge . Addis was bowled in the first over without scoring by

422

CRICKET.

Hines . But on C . Whincup joining Shepherd a much better complexion was put on the game, boundary hits being frequent, when both appeared well set, Shepherd tamely returned one to the bowler, the score being 35 . Whincup did not survive much longer being bowled

by Hines at 39, for an excellently played 27 . Bingham after making 8 of the next 12 was caught off Hines and Rose failing to score five wickets were down for 59 . R . Whincup after hitting one square for 3 knocked down his own wickets . Hudson joined Partington who had played very patiently, but after making 5 was easily caught. Eastwood on coming in, quickly got Hines round to leg for 3 but lost Partington who retired with 13 to his credit . Eastwood greeted Nevile's arrival by another good hit to leg, but was almost secured off his hand an over later . Nevile was caught at the wicket and Newton joined Eastwood.

Newton got 2 by a lucky snick but was almost immediately afterwards bowled by Pentony . Eastwood carried out his bat for a well hit 16.

The total was 97.

With I S to make Curran and Dawson faced Nevile and Addis.

With 5 up Dawson was bowled and Hind came in only 5 minutes to time . The score had reached 17 when time was called . The match of course counting on the 1st innings . The School did wretchedly in the first innings, no one seeming able to face the fast deliveries . A word of praise is, perhaps, due to Rose for his plucky defence . The School fielding was also very fair and at no time was any mastery got over the bowling, as Curran did the greater part of the scoring, only one other obtaining double figures . Nevile bowled well as the analysis shows.

v. DURHAM SCHOOL. This match was played at Durham, in anything but agreeable weather, on Saturday, July 29th.

Bingham lost the toss, and Durham batted first on a somewhat soft wicket, sending in Graham and Fawcus to oppose the bowling of Bingham (School end) and Nevile.

Graham was badly missed at the wickets off Nevile ' s first ball, and the total rose slowly to 16 before the first wicket was captured, Fawcus being smartly taken at point . Nevile, whom most of the runs had been scored off, retired in favour of Newton, and runs came with great effort . The next two wickets went down at 21, good catches at the wickets and point dismissing F . Adamson and Cumberledge respectively, and Sadler, who was now in, stayed till 29, when Newton found the way to his stumps with a good delivery .

Graham, who had been playing very carefully, was sent back by a magnificent catch at square leg, having, with the exception of a chance behind the wickets early in the game, played well for his 2o.

C . Adamson and Mabane were now facing the bowling, and the liveliest cricket of the day was seen, both bowlers being sent to the boundary on several occasions . Adamson then put Newton out of the ground to leg and brought on Addis in his place, the change producing the desired effect the first over . Thew partnered Mabane, but the latter was taken in the slips eight runs later (63 for 7). It was now getting very dark, and the game was continued amidst vivid flashes of lightning and loud peals of thunder, but no rain had as yet fallen . The next three wickets only produced two runs ; Bingham captured two of them, one by a slyer to cover-point and the other by means of the wicketkeeper, and Addis the third, so the innings closed for 65 . Afte r lunch Addis and Shepherd went to the wickets at half-past two.

It was now almost too dark to see the ball, and the wicket was very much worn, but . notwithstanding these disadvantages, both batsmen soon began to score off the bowling of C . Adamson and Graham . With the score at 22 for the loss of no wickets rain stopped the game, but in about half an hour's time Shepherd and Addis returned to the wickets in almost nocturnal darkness . Fawcus took the ball from Adamson and sent a maiden down, and with the last ball of the next over Graham got Addis at mid-on . Rain drove the players to shelter again before the next batsman arrived, and in a short time the ground was literally under water . so the game was abandoned, leaving it a draw in our favour.

v. POCKI .INGTON G . S. The last match of the season, played on the School ground, on Thursday . July 13th . Bingham was again unlucky with the coin, and Pocklington sent in Butt and Taylor at about a quarter to 12, the attack being entrusted to Bingham (School end) and Nevile . Butt sent Bingham's second ball out of the ground to leg, and repeated the performance with his fourth . Nevile sent a maiden down, and ilingham's second over was let alone till the last ball, which Butt put over the fence in the same direction as the other two . After another maiden from Nevile, Bingham had his revenge by upsetting Butt's sticks . (i for I2) . At 78, Nevile beat Taylor with a good ball, and 6 runs later, Holbrooke was nicely held at square leg . Swindell fell to mid-off when he had contributed 6, and Snowden who was now in, went in for some hard hitting, and brought on Newton z'ice Nevile.

Snowden continued to score, and saw the next four men out tor very small figures, before a fast delivery from Addis, who had come on instead of Bingham, sent his middle stump out of the groand . At 64, Newton took the last wicket.

The School started disastrously, for with only 2 on the board, Shepherd was clean bowled by Holbrooke . At 5, Taylor sent C. \Vhincup back and let in Bingham to partner Addis, but at rr, the latter fell a victim to Holbrooke. Rose came next, and with Bingham, the score rose to 26 before a separation was effected, the latter retiring for a well hit 14, though he never seemed at home with the bowling.

At this total, Partington was taken in the long field and \Vhincup and Hudson clean bowled by Harrison . A slight stand was made for the next wicket, and Taylor took the ball from Harrison . In eight overs Rose contributed a couple of twos and Eastwood one, and at 32, the latter, in endeavouring to get Taylor away to leg, played one back into the bowler's hands . An extra was the only further addition to the score, Nevile being clean bowled and Newton taken at the wickets without scoring, and Rose carried out his bat, having been in 20 overs for his 6.

31 to the good, Pocklington made their second essay, but none of the batsmen could keep up their wicket long against the bowling of Bingham and Newton, Marshall alone reaching double figures, and that after being let off with only 2 to his credit . They were dismissed for the small score of 4o, and the School went in a second time, wanting 71 to save a defeat . A little better than a repetition of the first innings was seen, a rot seeming to set in from the beginning . R . Whincup and Nevile alone got two figures to their credit, and the innings closed for 54, leaving Pocklington winners by 17 runs.

lIETLOSPEC'I'.

Whatever else the Eleven of 1893 achieved, it reached a very high standard of fielding, especially in catching : the chances missedexcluding those to the wicket-keeper, which are uncertain, could be counted on one hand, and in only one match had bad fielding an effect on the result . We give a list of catches made :—R . \\'hincup (wicket-keeper) 1J 7 Addis 12, Bingham 9, Partington and Shepherd 7.

C . Wilincup and Rose 6, Hudson and Nevile 5, Eastwood and Newton 4. The bowling, too, was of good quality, as will be seen from the averages ; the four chief bowlers were all under 'ten runs per wicket . The only total over 1 so scored off the School bowling in 14 matches was that of the Old Boys . Their performance in getting rid of a fairly strong batting team of the Yorkshire Gentlemen for under too speaks for itself . It was in batting that the weakness lay .

Bingham and Partington have both gone down in average, and the Whincups have not risen to the standard of Atkinson and Carter of last year .

There was a lack of pluck and straightness about the play of most of the eleven, and the reason is not far to seek .

The dryness of the early part of the season thoroughly exposed the badness of the practice wickets . The match wickets

were good enough—the Old Boys especially—owing to the care bestowed upon them . Something really must be done in the way of systematic rolling all through the Easter term if the batting is to improve . Nobody can be expected to 'play well out on the ball if he has to consider the question of its bumping . The consequence is either the shifting of the right foot or the pulling away of the body, both equally fatal . Supposing the ball is clear on the off side the batsman does not get the value of his stroke, as there is no telling whether it will jump, or twist, or shoot. As a result everybody is inclined to wait until the ball has finished its vagaries and play back.

Of course this year the ground was worse than usual owing to the long-continued dry weather . Another year the rolling should begin as soon as the frost is out of the ground and efforts made to get decent wickets.

The results of the 14 matches are a little curious ; 6 were won, 7 lost, I drawn . The Yorkshire Gentlemen were beaten in the second match, after an easy victory for them in the first ; against this must be set two bad defeats from Pocklington, where funk' had a deal to do with the result . Ampleforth beat us twice, Durham once by six runs ; the other defeat was by the Old Boys . The other victories were over Leeds, Barnard Castle, the Asylum (twice), and Mr . Lord's XI. The draw was against Durham, where the rain put a stop to what looked like a victory for us . Calculated from the batting and howling averages below, the value of the School wickets was 6 . 98 each, of our opponents ' 8 . 59 . We give this year also the averages of the Second and Third Elevens . In the Second XI., Clemons, Russell, and Sullivan all promise well, and Nevile, if he could develop some patience .

Bailey's bowling was very successful. The most noticeable points in the Third N_I . are Atkinson's batting and the wonderful results attained by all the bowlers ; several of the smallest in the team showed the best form.

CHARACTERS OF THE XI. (Captain).—Hardly so successful as last year; is a good bat and scores fast when set ; played with more care, but had bad luck ; has a weak stroke off his legs ; bowled a very steady length and straight, might have bowled himself more ; a good field anywhere ; energetic captain .

F . M . BINGHAM, 1859

C 43 0 RICKET.

1892 .—Never quite seems to do himself justice; tries to hit too soon, and has an awkward back stroke ; ought to make a good bat ; a fine field at cover, with a smart return; works hard always.

H . R . PARTINGTON, 1S92 .—Has the fatal fault of moving the right foot ; is in consequence often bowled off stump ; must try to get over this and his nervousness ; can hit if he likes ; a magnificent field ; perfectly safe catch.

R . AVHINCUP, 1892 .—As a bat does not play quite straight, and has a most curious back stroke ; drives well at times ; has improved in his wicket-keeping, though still uncertain.

C . P. WHINCUP,

W . A . RosE .—lmproved a good deal up to the middle of the season and then went back ; perhaps a had hand had something to do with it ; a good field, and brought off at least one wonderful catch. .

SHEPHERD .—Has some good strokes, but plays back too much.

J often getting under the ball ; wants to hold himself up more ; a good field at point, and might make a bowler.

R . B . ADDIs .—A steady bat, plays straight, but is apt to get in front of his wicket ; bowls a fair length, with a doubtful action and some spin ; fields well generally at mid-off.

B. Hunsox. — Hits hard, but should learn to play forward ; is in too great a hurry to score ; has made some good catches at short leg, and is a good field ; bowls a little.

R . M . NEVILE .—A very promising bowler, left hand slow with a fair break ; should be very good with care and more fielding to his own bowling ; bats better in matches than in practice ; with more strength should make runs ; moderate field on the ground, catches well.

A . W . EAsTwooD .—Always plays hard on the ball, with plenty of pluck, and much straighter than he used to ; a good runner between the wickets ; stiff in the arms both in batting and fielding.

C. 1V . NEwTov .—A very fair fast bowler with an ungainly action ; did well on fast wickets, coming back nicely ; a hitting bat and a moderate field.

It is expected that of these C . P. \Vhincup, Partington, Rose.

Shepherd, Hudson, Nevile, and Eastwood will be available next year, so that the chief loss to be made up will be bowling .

FOOTBALL. HAT sort of a team shall we have this season ? Last year we only lost one School match . in '91 we lost none ; can we keep it tip ?

Of last year ' s colours we still have six available ; and three more who played against Durham in the Easter team : of the six, four are in their third year in the team, while the other two are no passengers.

Though we shall feel the loss of such players as Bingham, Tute, Clarke, Winn, and Scargill, all our survivors were prominent members last year, and will make a good basis for this year . Behind we shall probably be as follows :—Back, A . W . Eastwood, 1891, 1592 . Threequarters, IV . .1 . Rose (Capt .), 1S91, 1892 ; H . R . Partington, 1891.

1892 ; H . Leonard . I lalves, J . E . Shepherd, 1892 ; J . Metcalfe . Of these Eastwood has been most successful as " custodian," his kicking is getting longer, and his weight increasing : he has always been most cool and reliable : in fact he is far away the best back we have had since Brandt . Let us beware of moving him up to three-quarters after our experience at Giggleswick last year . Rose will presumably play in the centre, as he showed great aptitude for the position towards the end of last season . IIis saving and tackling improved immensely, and he passes and feints well ; his pace too is good . His chief weakness lay in kicking, and occasional uncertainties in taking passes ; this latter ought not to trouble him any more, judging from what we saw in the cricket field . Partington in a winning game is very fine at all points : his defence wants improving . He waits for his men too much ; with his pace he should be able to smother any opposing three-quarters before they can get going . Leonard showed good promise in the matches in which he played last year, he tackles well, but wants dash in his running, and should practice kicking . Shepherd has put on weight lately, which joined to his knowledge of the game, should be of the greatest service : we hope great things of him, if he will get rid of that fault of passing wildly anywhere, which sometimes appeared last year.

He and Metcalfe should make a good pair, as the latter gets away quickly and runs well, but requires to pay more attention to feeding his behinds . There is no doubt that the backs ought to be very strong, and better than last year's . There is much more pace, and we hope to see plenty of good passing and running . Of the forwards C . \Whincup and Newton still survive, with the exception of Bingham, the best all

V

FOOTBALL.

round forwards of last year, they will set a really good example to the new corners . Bailey and Romans played in the Easter term last season, and are both likely forwards . Bailey's pace should be of use, he has clone well at three-quarters in the second team . Romans wants to use his head more, he has any amount of pluck and dash . Last year's second team forwards were a good lot, and from them the choice will have to be made . The likely candidates should be Dobson, Fausset, Haworth, Henson, Hudson, Nevile, Roy, and Williams . The chief falling-off from last year will be in the matter of weight, which will be of most consequence in the club matches . This deficiency must be made up by a high quality of combination . Let the passing both amongst forwards and backs be quick and short, and plenty of it ; for with our probable lightness it will be to our advantage to play an open game, and get the ball out to the backs as much as possible . The tackling improved last year, but is still a little wanting ; let there be no waiting for the man . go for him at once and hard . Forwards take a leaf out of Newton and «"hincup ' s book in this respect ; both tackle very hard and safely . Behinds, mark your men, if possible before they get fairly moving. Once more to all, play together.

were again fortunate enough to secure the attendance of Canon Elwyn and the present Headmaster, and, as a concession to those who wished to see the conclusion of the Oxford and Cambridge cricket match, the dinner hour was altered from 7 to 7-30 o'clock.

The speeches after dinner were limited to the regular toasts of the Royal Family, St . Peter 's Past and Present and the Chairman . Among the letters expressing regret for the inability of the writers to attend, Canon Elwyn produced and read those of Mr . Tomlinson, Professor Allbutt, His Honour Judge Price, Messrs . Anderson, Lambert, McClellan and others, dwelling in particular on Mr . Tomlinson' s exhortation to the young men to emulate the deeds of their predecessors and (lo honour to the old and famous school.

The toast of the evening, " St . Peter's Past and Present " was proposed by the Chairman, Canon Elwyn, and responded to by the Headmaster and Dr . F. Needham . Among the topics dealt with were the recent deaths of the Rev . G . W . Lees and Mr . E . P . Allanson, the history of the School (luring the past year, and the progress of the negotiations between the Governing Body and the Charity Commissioners.

Mr . Chas . Haigh, the Recorder of Scarbro', in proposing the health of the Chairman, said that he could only speak as an old boy of the cordial relations between Canon Elwyn and all Old Peterites . These relations were established at the first cricket match between Past and Present Peterites after Archdeacon ' s Hey ' s retirement 30 years ago, and since that time Canon Elwyn has never turned his back from the plough nor ceased to encourage the esprit de corps which promotes success.

Mr . Leonard Marshall, as an old pupil under Canon Elwyn, seconded the toast, which was received with musical honours and enthusiastic applause.

There were loud and unanimous cries of dissent when Canon Elwyn in his reply suggested that if only for the sake of variety a change of Chairman might be desirable in future.

The health of the Hon . Secretary was then proposed and duly acknowledged, and the Company dispersed shortly before eleven o'clock .
