SCHOOL LETTER. T is our sweet duty, before proceeding, to congratulate Mitchell on his Cambridge cricket " blue, " or on his innumerable successes both in the batting and bowling departments of the game. Our own successes have been, we pride ourselves, by no means small ; for have we not beaten Ripon, Durham, in fact every school we have so far played, and also the Old Boys ? the Yorkshire Gentlemen, however, behaved to us in a manner far from gentle, but otherwise we have not much to sadden us. Nhincup, Sullivan, Hudson, and Clemons have been hitherto rewarded with fifties, and the team generally is covered with glory. The sight that greeted us on June i i really amazed us : hordes of begrimed workmen were busy with spades and other weapons digging the site for the gymnasium ; numerous old pots, flesh-pots, water-pots, flower-pots, and other Roman antiquities have been fished out by the workmen. The Athletic Sports will soon be here, and the editors cutely tip Partington as the winner of the quarter, pole jump, high jump, and scratch hundred ; Whincup ought to do good time for the mile, and win the throwing the cricket ball . We hope there will be " thirds " this year, and that the handicappers will deal kindly with the editors. Commemoration day was a great success, thanks to all parties ; we won the Old Boys match, though the splendid batting of the

SCHOOL LETTER.

brothers Lord was rather a thorn in the side of the School bowling ; the excitement at the finish was intense, when Crowther for the Old Peterites, with two to win, was bowled by Hudson. I (not the editorial we this time), have come to the end of my tether, and what else has happened lately I really forget : most of the School went as usual to the Gala, and spent much money in knocking off many cocoanuts off sticks, and other senseless divarsions . " We would fain add our poor voice to join the bursts of joy which greet the birth of the Duke of York's son : it is, indeed, a glad occasion which brings into the world a future king of England . How long 'I'tnE PETeRITE has been going we don ' t quite know ; but isn ' t it time we had a silver wedding, or centenary, or made some such foolish fuss r When its time for us to celebrate our first number please write. There are up to the present not the usual cross keys on this number ; this is not permanent ; a "block" was not forthcoming : next number you shall have cross keys. We glory in the success of the classical Naylor and Padel, and the legal Wilkinson, in their various "tripi" or "tripods" or whatever it is . One of the editors is leaving this term : mourn with us, friends, that he is gone, and for us that are left alone . He is going to Balliol C'oll ., Oxford : 'tis t otterell. There are breakers ahead, for the stumbling blocks of learned, hooded, stupid examiners are still to be steered through . We fear that the School letter is rather vapid, and we are quite sure we shall be told so : there is a certain well-meaning honesty in PETNRITE readers, that when we write anything stale they leave us no room to get conceited at all . You ask the reason why this is the case : the heat, reader, the heat has fuddled us, or " life ' s short, very very short," so we feel, just at this time especially, that there are more profitable was of spending it than writing a School letter. N .B .—We are sorry that Mr . Sample will no longer be organist at our chapel, after a faithful service of seventeen years .


COMMEMORATION i)AY .

COMMEMORATION DAY. NCL'' more St . Peter's Day came round, and with it brought the usual festivities . In the morning a Special Service was held in the School chapel, the boys all being present, and a large company of parents and friends.

O

The Chapel had been most tastefully decorated with flowers of all kinds as well as ferns most kindly lent for the occasion by Dr . Hingston . Great praise and many thanks are clue to Mrs. Handford, Mrs . Veld, Mrs . Richards, and the Misses Head, Veld, Scargill, Leaf and Ridgeway for the pains they took to make the Chapel appear as it did . After the short Service, Holy Communion was celebrated and a very appropriate Sermon was preached by the Rev . R . M . Ainslie, Vicar of St . Saviour's, Liverpool . Taking for his text the 16th chapter 25th verse of St . Luke—" Son Remember," he said that the life of St . Peter, the patron Saint of this ancient historical school, ought to have a special place in the mind of all those who had the honour of being Peterites . The preacher made a touching remembrance of his time at the School, and said that the festival brought back to his memory the happy times of his youth, but at the same time it recalled the many things he had left undone : and here he impressed upon the senior boys present that it was to their position and influence, and further to their force of character, that the junior boys framed their lives, reminding them that as Christians it was their duty first and foremost to live lives worthy of the name by shunning all dishonourable dealings, and by stamping out all that was impure . To them was entrusted the tone of their School, and so they should remember that their words and actions were always marked, though they might not think so . Continuing, he said that day was the birthday of the School, and they were all gathered together to join in thanking God for His care and preservation, and to pray for his abundant and continued blessing. After the sermon hymn 437 was sung by the choir, and a collection was made for the various missionary societies to which the School is attached . Later on Mr . Handford entertained a large party of friends and the Xl 's of the old and present boys to luncheon . An

HIS the opening match of the season was played on May 22nd, on the Asylum ground . The School went in first, and made but a short stay, Whincup making top score with 14, when he was caught by Waterhouse . None of the other batsmen offered any satisfactory resistance to the good bowling of Messrs . Best and Kershaw, and the innings closed with a total of 35 . The Asylum then sent Messrs . Borras and Hingston to the wickets, and the former was despatched by Nevile with 7 to his account, while Hingston scored z I before he was caught off the same bowler. Shepherd bowled well for the School, and the innings ended for 72 . The School went in again, and did better than before, Hudson and Whincup scoring 20 and 36 respectively, the score being raised to 105 before stumps were drawn at six o'clock . Thus the game ended in a win for the Asylum by 37 mots.

N . E . COUNTY SCHOOL.

Plaved at Barnard Castle on Saturday, May 26 . The weather Nvas bitterly cold with a strong wind blowing, and the wicket was slow but easy after the previous night's rain and heavy showers in the morning, Hudson and Sullivan began the innings, and scored zo off six overs before the former was caught at point . Shepherd helped to raise the score b 'v a similar amount, and then left for the same number . The third partnership produced 28, and then a good ball dismissed Sullivan for a neat innings, in which leghitting was a frature . Nevile had scarcely joined the captain when heavy rain drove the players to shelter, and no more play was possible before lunch, the total standing at 70 . On resuming, Nevile was immediately caught at point, which let in his brother, and 78 were put on for the next wicket . Whincup hit the bowling about freely, though some of his strokes were uppish ; still he gave no actual chance until his total reached .}o, when he ought to have been caught from a skver to mid-on . Soon after he was again dropped, and was finally caught in the long field at 1¢8. Nevile scored much more slowly, but made one drive off a long hop for which five were run . Two more wickets fell rapidly, and the innings was closed . Nearlv two hours remained for play when the home team went in . The first wicket fell at q, the second at z .} ; then Garthwaite and Alexander put on i o, at which point Hudson took three wickets quickly . Then the play became very slow, and was only- redeemed by a dashing display by Parker, a player of only a few inches . 1?ventually all were out ten minutes before time . Score and analysis :—

SCHOOL V . I (BURN VALLEY.

June zznd, on the School ground . The match, a new fixture, reminded one of an aquatic carnival . The visitors, winning the toss, elected to bat, sending Villiers and Osborne to face the deliveries of Hudson and Nevile . IIudson's third ball Villiers feebly returned to the bowler . On Hamilton partnering Osborne, runs began to cone freely till the score reached 3 g , when Osborne was clean bowled by Hudson . The next stand was made when Whitley joined Hamilton . Runs coming pretty fast brought on Shepherd, but still no separation was effected till Hamilton hit his wickets . The rest caused little trouble,—being quite unable to cope with Nevile ' s bowling, which, considering the sodden state of the pitch, was excellent, as his analysis s p ews . After partaking of tea, the School, with hardly an hour to knock-up the required no, sent in Sullivan and I Judson . "These two treated the visitors to some lively fielding . The rain now coming down faster, and with only fifteen minutes to play and 58 runs to make, it was decided to draw stumps, leaving the match a draw—decidedly in our favour .

ST . PETER ' S V . POCKLINGTON.

Played on the 7th of June, at York . The Home team won the toss, and Hudson and Sullivan went in first . Hudson was soon dismissed, but on Shepherd joining Sullivan a splenid stand was made, and 69 runs were registered before Shepherd was dismissed for 39 . Whincup then joined Sullivan, and hit eight twos and a one, when he was caught by Harrison . Partington whipped in, but was soon bowled by Harrison . Sullivan ' s wicket was the next to fall, but not before lie had scored a well earned 52 : he had played careful cricket, his runs being mostly made up of ones and twos . The rest were soon out, and the innings closed for 135. Pocklington sent Wright and Taylor to the wickets after the interval, and though the latter soon succumbed, the former scored 15, when he was caught by Yeld . Owing to good bowling, as usual, by Hudson and Nevile, only one other of the Pocklington team, Harrison, made double figures, and the innings closing for 53, a follow on resulted . Harrison with Taylor went to the wickets, and this time put on 37, when he was caught by Sullivan ; 30 more were added by the rest, 16 of these being scored by Iles (not out) : thus the 67 runs scored failed to avert an inning ' s defeat . Bailey bowled excellently for us . Scores and analysis :—

At Ampleforth on Tuesday, June 1zth . The ground after the recent heavy rains was in a very wet state ; and the home team having won the toss put us in, a doubtful policy, though it promised well at starting . The usual pair began, and Hudson was bowled with the second ball sent down . Shepherd followed in, and did not last very long, being also bowled with the score at 5, all of his own making ; these two wickets fell to what were suspiciously like half-volleys . Whincup and Sullivan mended matters considerably, and by lunch the score had reached 29 without fur ther disaster, the captain being not out 16 . After the restart he added four and then was well caught at mid-off from a hard hit . Farrington showed much improved form, and made some good on-drives ; whilst he was in, Sullivan scored at a quicker rate than before, but was at length bowled for a steady

and well-played 27 . With Nevile in runs again calve freely, and at 0, Partington was bowled off his pads ; he had given two chances . Clemons was caught by the longstop in hitting to leg at too, but Whcelwtii ht and Nevile raised the score to 127, before the latter was bowled . Whittcup then closed the innings Wheelwright having scored his 15 very quickly . A minute or two before five o ' clock Ampleforth began their Innings, and Johnstone hit freely at starling with some luck . After he was out, nobody offered any resistance to Nevile ' s bowling, but time ran out with only seven wickets down . Another quarter of an hour would most probably have settled the issue .

The away match was unavoidably played two days after the home match ; the attendance was small owing to other attractions. We were anxious to repeat our victory, while Durham, the match being the last under the old head master, wished to atone for their previous defeat . We won the toss, and Sullivan and Shepherd went in first ; the latter was soon given out lbw, hard lines! On Sullivan being out for 7, Whit cup joined IIudson and made matters lively till the latter was despatched with zo runs to his name . Of the rest I'artington made 12, and Henson but no one else broke their duck . Whincup played a sl+leald ;d innings and barring a chance to long off, when he had made 6, it might be almost considered faultless ; thus our score mounted to 138. Durham then went to the wickets, but excepting 21 by Sadler, 20 by ('lark, and 18 by Thompsrin, there was nothing worthy of comment, and when the innings closed for So we were left victors by 58 runs .

ST . PETER ' S V . OLD BOYS. Played on Commemoration Day in most glorious weather . The School team was considerably handicapped by the absence of Nevile and Shepherd . Bowling was never felt the lack of more. Commencing at 12 p .m ., the Old Boys vvent in on a batting wicket, sending in Naylor and Sharpe . In Hudson ' s first over he clean bovyled Sharpe . Rev . R . M . Ainslie came next and fell a victim to Bailey . NVhcn Rev . W . W . Dodsworth came a short stand was made, Naylor getting the runs, but unfortunately his partner was run out . Heaven filled the vacancy, but lost Naylor, who was beautifully caught at cover point . P . E . Lord whipped in, and now there was a long stand ; Whincup went vice Bailey, but no separation was effected, and when luncheon-bell rang the score stood at 7o for 5 wickets . Resuming about 2-30, Heaven was soon smartly caught at the wicket, having made 14 by very careful cricket . When the brothers Lord got together runs came very rapidly, Bailey taking the hall from Whincnp ; but zoo vv as telegraphed in a very little time . Several changes were made, but still the two batsmen scored rapidly, fours and threes coming in

quick succession . At last, after about 2 hours lively cricket, T . B . Lord was caught and bowled by Whincup . Soon after P. E . Lord fell to a grand delivery from Hudson, who had resumed at the bottom end, his innings of 115 was a fine display of hitting, only marred by a hard chance at the wickets . At this point James " further revived the weary fielders by bringing the Challenge Cup full of claret, which in the intense heat was extremely welcome . The rest caused little trouble and the innings closed for 242 . Clemons and Sullivan by careful batting made I b, when Sullivan was caught and bowled by T . Lord . Hudson came next but did not stay long, and \Vhincup, after making 13, was clean bowled by Sharpe . When Partington came the score rapidly rose in spite of frequent changes, until, after a fine innings of 38, he was caught at point . Benson and Clemons played out time, the latter playing exceedingly for his 27 . The match was resumed on Saturday, and before luncheon the School were all out for 146 . Clemons played extremely well for his 5o, his cuts being very noticeable . The second innings was a great improvement, Hudson, Partington and \Vhincup severely punishing the bowlers in spite of numerous changes . The rest doing nothing worthy of mention, the innings closed for 188, leaving the Old Boys gz to win . The School were favoured by good luck, owing to the enforced retirement of Ainslie and the absence of T . B . Lord. Excitement was great as with one wicket to fall and 8 runs to win P . E . Lord joined Crowther . The former made six of these, when Crowther was bowled amid tremendous cheers, thus leaving the School lucky winners by 2 runs, a task which at one time seemed impossible .

The return match was played on our ground, July the 3rd. The visitors won the toss, and went to the wicket first . The success mostly lay with us, for excepting a well played innings of 4 2 not out by Johnstone, in which he hit nine threes, not one of our opponents reached double figures . With 87 to win we then sent Sullivan and Clemons to the wickets ; the innings opened badly, for three wickets were down for five runs : an improvement was then made, but with seven wickets down for 53 the match still looked an open question . Then E . Nevile partnered Henson, and runs came freely ; these two added 3S and 24 respectively to the score, thus gaining for us an easy victory . Joicey made some good hits in his 14 not out, and the innings closed for 1 45 . A follow on for the visitors was the result, and Bailey and Shepherd being in good form for us in the bowling department increased our victory to an innings and four runs . Scores and analysis :—

CORRESPONDENCE. To

THE EDITOR OF " THE PETERIrE . "

SIR,

I write to make a suggestion about the scratch fours. It is that they should be rowed off in future, if we are to use our own boats, i1] the boat-house reach . The only advantage of the present course is the nearness of it to Hill's yard . If we do not use Hill ' s boats, there is scarcely a reach on the river that would not be more suitable . In the present course the stations are seriously unequal ; and even the gift of a guessed half-length to the near side boat does not set the matter altogether right. p lay I suggest also that the crews should not be drawn until mid-day of the day of the races . There is nothing to be lost by postponing the drawing ; and this year, for instance, five or six Old Boys who wanted to row were omitted. K . E . T . WILKINSON.

May 2 9, ' 94• Seeing you invite the opinions of O . P . ' s in re the Cricket colours, I should like to register my strong objection to unnecessary change. In my day, 1869-1874, we wore not coats but shirts (dark blue and white stripes) . I am sorry to hear that the O . P .'s do not stick to their colours, but that seems to me no valid reason for present P . ' s letting them go . Personally I should be sorry to cone to the Old School and see the Eleven playing in different colours. I believe myself to be a Socialist, a Radical, and a Progressist in the Christian (though not altogether perhaps in the modern political) sense, but am Conservative enough to dislike change till I know good reason for it . I think the " onus " lies on those who wish for the change to shew cause. 1\Iy interest in the Old School, to which I owe much (perhaps the least not being free board and education under a prince of Head Masters), must be my excuse for trespassing on your space .

MARRIAGE

A "CIRCULAR TOUR ." EOPLE in our line of business (we are a Clerk in Holy Orders, are apt at times, if our business is of the dimensions that it ought to be, to get our voice and head, to say nothing of bode and spirit, so overwrought that we need recreation and renewal . Even machines need repair : much more the delicate and complex machinery of body, soul, and spirit, of which the human being is composed. So, on the fourth day of the sixth month in the year of our Lord, 189 4 , it came to pass that we, the shepherd of the flock, left our sweet (albeit distant) wilderness in search of sedative air iii the sunny South . No steed of flesh and blood bestrode this modern Don ; with him went no Sancho Panca : alone and unaccompanied he rode the poor man ' s horse—the blessed Bicycle . Look not, reader, for adventures such as befell Lord i\lunchausen, I\lungo Park, Livingstone, or Stanley ; for Bicyclistus scales neither Alpine nor Gwalian heights, fords no streams, and penetrates no jungles, loving rather the dead level, or at most the rolling plain, the easy down grade rather than the toilsome upward climb . What marvel, since he is human nature, " out for a lark, " on pleasure—only secondarily on business—bent. June the .1.tli, though dawning brightly, relapsed on second thoughts into teeming rain . The iron steed, thirsting for the road, was therefore fain ignominiously to rail to Doncaster, and there to kick his metaphorical heels, and champ his figurative bit, with his

pneumatic nose (pardon alliteration's artful aid) to the manger in the pleasant stall of a country vicarage in the plain of Doncaster. For the lions of that rapid, aye, race city the reader is referred to the pages of (not Lindley) Murray . "There we tarried, weather bound, till the 6th, and even then the still heavy roads compelled steed and self of course much against our will after a short but sweet ride together to Doncaster, to part company while, and rail again to the Land of Nimrod, the brickbats and blackbeetles, the looms and jennies of the working centre of the hunting shire of leisurely Leicester . Biding there a night in the midst of a veritable nest of hospitable aunts, "Thursday at last saw us awheel, " en circle " for the land o' the leal, the city of spires, our Alma Mater, Oxenford the blest . But 0 tell it not in Gad), nor to the scorching Goth) we only rode to Wesleyan Lutterworth and Rugby, since rain still threatened, and our understandings were not yet in " fettle, " no time having been available before starting for " preparation ." Still it was a beginning, and we were able on the smooth rolling road to in a measure) test the potentialities of ours Pneu " (Quadrant No . 22), which went like the " Pneuma did ' nt in its tyres . It was nearly saying " she . " I love her so I) went—to use a not very polished but expressive Yankee phrase— "like the lightning" that all day was hovering round, only—more so—" greased . " Rail again from Rugby to Oxford, there to find neither bag nor telegram arrived, owing to an error in direction. We did not, however, suffer, for old friends put us up for the night " as we were ." Pleasant talk with them, and calls on friends at Iieble, Pusey, and homely Somerville, occupied us till 2 on Friday. We were delightfully surprised to find Keble clad in Virginian verdure in spite of Butterficldian decree . We were not so well pleased to see the Chapel marbles (some of them) hidden by tapestry hangings . The College is fast losing the spotty appearance of its early days, which won it the opprobrious title of the " Small-pox Hospital, " and is getting to look in its red and green bonnet quite respectable bemiddle-aged, not to say " Gampish " and " Grundyish, " though we understand that the latter is not at all the present character of the College . Coming as we did from the progressive North, we marvelled not so much as some might

have (lone to see the number of sweet girl " undergraduates " (presumably) simply and sensibly bestriding speedy cycles . We hope that the prejudice against the female on the ( ycle may ere long follow that which used to exist against the duly educated woman, or there will certainly be a well-deserved revolt of revolving and revolutionary daughters wishful for the wheel . For further information respecting New Oxford mile Lib : It : in : Oxon: passim ; again, latest edition ; for speak it sub rosa, there are trams and electric lights and performances by undergraduates at the Theatre on behalf of Church schools, and (presumably again) " whirling dons, " or dons on wheels, in plenty . Tempera mu/an/our indeed : seal fin-tuna in ilhs . We can't stand still, if indeed we would ; if we do, we stick in the mud : like the " untyred " Tory of old, who was never blessed with a bicycle, and never tried a tricycle . Paradoxically, our strength is to sit still, but at the same time to " move on," or we shall be " run in " or " run over " by the coming Robbers or " Roberts, " as perhaps they will euphemistically style themsel v es . 1'erbumsap . But we must move on, or our little tittillating tale will ne'er be told . Railing unriieel to Salisbury, we wheeled and walked up to the level of Salisbury Plain, and then literally whirled like the wind to our destination that night, the Druidic altars at Stonehenge, there to offer next morning sacrifice at the scene of our nativity . Amesbury is in some respects like the unchanging East . Changes there may have been (a few) since the Druids worshipped there, but Stonehenge changes not, standing in all its rugged and rural dignity still the same as of )ore . Having worshipped at the Christian shrine of our baptism, we started with the carriers ' carts on our way to our next stopping place, Bournemouth. Speeding under the summer morning sun, yet scorching not, we quickly overtook the earliest of the carts, and scudding past Old Sarum and the site of the ancient Cathedral, we soon regained New Sarum and the Wilts metropolis . There we lingered long enough to do our necessary shopping, glance round the graceful Cathedral (already known to us), lunch and amicably discuss with a fair and friendly Anabaptist the subjects of the Death Duties and the Poor Peoples' Plunder Pill, which we imagine the country

will find it so difficult to swallow, and then left for Fordingbridge and Ringwood . Nothing of note occurred, the journey over a dead level and rather too gravelly road being only enlivened by riotous ringing of our Bicycle Bell to avoid running down (Village) Belles' frantic attempts on the part of the spiders to keep out the frequent fly . A somewhat toilsome pedal against a strong head wind for about forty miles brought us at length to that Bourne whence no traveller wishes to return, there to meet with a wifely welcome from " saeva con jux•," and a truly fraternal one from our brother-in-law and his hospitable spouse . Tub and dinner put the needful finishing touches to a really charming scurry through a lovely country, which we would recommend anyone who can to try for his or her self. The mystic circle was completed by a prosaic peregrination in company with " saeva con jux " aforesaid on (train) wheels to lovely wilds in fertile Worcestershire, and a like unpoetical procession back to our home in the chilly North, and to the blasts of rude Boreas. And now for the parting shot . You may have heard (or you may hear) or " The Church Lads' Brigade . " I saw the other day that Sedbergh School sent a collection to the IIead Quarters of "The C .L .B ." If S . Peter's would do the same, the School would be encouraging a most deserving object much in need of help, and at the same time indirectly assisting the writer, an O .P ., who is just starting a Branch of the Brigade in his Northern parish ; and last, but not least, be contributing somewhat to the true solution of the Social problem .
