SCHOOL LETTER. ITH only two more matches remaining, the cricket season may be said to be almost over, and the XI may be congratulated on another successful season . In one or two instances the hardness of the ground and the erratic playing of the pitch has materially affected the result, a matter which a more liberal use of the hose would probably have rectified . On good wickets some excellent individual scores have been made, and four " fifties" have been compiled, of which Hudson is responsible for two, with scores of 64 not out and 71 not out, and Wheelwright and Joicey, for the other two, with scores respectively of 63 not out and 8z . Sullivan, Hudson, Wheelwright (twice) and Nevile, have all made scores over forty, the first named being unlucky in missing his fifty by one run. We heartily sympathize with Durham, whose illness has prevented the fulfilment of our fixtures, and we wish them a speedy recovery. The Gymnasium has at last reached completion, and on Commemoration Day was formally opened by Major General Thynne . After he and the Dean had delivered two excellent speeches, two military gymnasts gave an exhibition of their strength and skill, an exhibition which we shall be glad to see equalled by all present members of the school . After this, the company adjourned to the cricket ground to witness the Old Boys receive

another " drubbing " though it is only fair to add that their team was not the best that could have been got together had more time been available. Since our last number we have lost Mr Burton, head mathematical master, who has left us for warmer climes, and we can wish him and Mrs . Burton nothing better than that they may be as popular and as universally esteemed iii Bangalore as they were amongst all of us with whom they came in contact.

COMMEMORATION DAY. OMMEMORATION Day was kept on Saturday, June z9th, (St . Peter's Day) at St . Peter ' s School . The day commenced with a celebration of the Holy Communion at eight o'clock in the School Chapel . The sacred building had been most tastefully decorated by Mrs . Handford, Miss Grantham, Miss Naylor, Miss Leaf, Miss Sullivan, Mr . and Mrs . Yeld, and Mr . B . Scargill. Matins and Ante-Communion were said at I0-30, several of the parents and friends of the scholars being present . Prayers were read by the Rev . G . T . Handford (head master), and the sermon preached by the Rev . T . R . B . Ferris, vicar of St . Matthew ' s, Nottingham, formerly vicar of St . Thomas', York, an " old boy" and formerly one of the Mathematical Masters at St . Peter ' s . The rev . gentleman took for his text " Nevertheless I am continually with Him ; Thou hast led me by my tight hand . Thou shalt guide me with Thy counsels, and afterwards receive me to glory . " Psalm Ixxiii ., 23 and z¢ . He said that it would be difficult for him to express the strongly mingled feelings that filled his heart as he stood once more in the pulpit in that building, which was associated with so many memories . There were very pleasant memories of people, some of whom were now silent in the grave, and incidents when he looked back over the past, which stretched to a point of 33 years . There were also unpleasant memories of words which ought not to have been uttered and of deeds that ought not to have been done . Memories of influences which had been exerted over

others the effect of which they could never recall and which might have made others less true, less real, and perhaps rebellious to their God . In dealing with his text the preacher said that all that was helpful in religion seemed to cluster around the thought of the fatherhood of God . They should never let anything rob them of the blessed revealed fact that they stood in the closest relationship with God—Father and child, so that nothing could stand in place of Him . They should never forget the continual presence of God, that the power of God could keep them, and constantly use the means of grace, Holy Communion, and mark each day by consulting the Word of God, and, all through their conflict with sin, unbelief, care, and sorrow, lean on God as they drew near Him in prayer. Lastly, let them ever remember that the true goal of life was not the winning of the success which they might desire, or the building up of the earthly home on which in early life they had set their eyes, it was the unfading glory of the heavenly home beyond. In the afternoon the new gymnasium was opened by MajorGeneral Thynne . The gymnasium is ()oft . by pit . and 33ft . high inside . At the entrance nearest to the school are two dressing rooms with gallery over . The building has an open timber roof. The style of architecture is late Gothic to harmonise with the existing buildings . The room is lighted by four tall mullioned windows on each side and by a large traceried window facing the Clifton-road, and others over the gallery . Over the west doorway are carved the arms of the Dean and Chapter of York, and over the south doorway a sun-dial and armorial bearings . The foundation stone bears the inscription :—" Almae Matri Alumnus Gratias . A D. MDCCCXCIV. Decano, A . P . Purey-Cust, Cancellario, J . Raine . Magistro, G . T . Handford ." Mr . Francis W . Bedford, A .R .I .B .A ., of Leeds, and Westminster, was the architect . The carrying out of the main portion of the work was entrusted to Mr . T . P . Barry, of York. Amongst those present were Major-General Thynne, C .B ., Mrs . Thynne, the Very Rev . the Dean of York, Lady Emma Purey-Cust, Captain the Hon . O. Lumley, A .D .C ., the Rev . Canon Machell and the Hon . Mrs .

Naylor, Misses Crosthwaite, Mrs . Fawkes (Escrick), Mr . G . Cotterell, Mr . W . Pearson, &c. The Rev . G . 'I' . HANDFORD said that as that beautiful gymnasium was pretty nearly fit for use they thought that the time was come when it might be opened They all regretted that the generous donor was not disposed to open it in propia persona . He had however, as they knew, expressed the strongest wish that his name should not be known . Though constantly longing to utter his name, he might not do so . It seemed to them that it should be opened by some one who had a more intimate knowledge of gymnastics than the majority of people, and General Thynne had been kind enough to consent to open it. General THYNNE, who was received with applause, said it gave him great pleasure to be there that day, and he felt it the greatest possible compliment to have been asked to open the gymnasium at St . Peter ' s School . In York, which was full of profound interest, he had met with universal kindness and consideration . When he came there he was told that that school was one of the oldest foundations in England, in fact he was told that it was founded 730 B .C . He hardly cared to swallow that, and then he was told that it was founded by St . Peter himself . He was still sceptical about it, and now he learnt from his friend Canon Machell that it really was founded in the year 730 . He believed it stood the oldest institution in the country that could historically prove its commencement . Canterbury he was told had a similar institution of similar antiquity, but it could not prove its origin, so that St. Peter ' s stands fac►7is princeps . It gave him greater pleasure to be

COMMEMORATION DAY .

there because he was educated at St . Peter ' s College, Radley, which was keeping its commemoration that day, to which he had been invited, but was unable to go . With regard to that gymnasium, all interested in St Peter's School, those who had sons there, and those who were being educated there, must be deeply grateful to the generous donor, who, with the true spirit of generosity, declined to give his name . There was no sounder proverb, if it may be called a proverb, than mens sang in corpore sand. If they wanted to do their duty they must broaden their chests and make themselves strong and hearty . He saw men there of his own age who were still able to make 6o not out, and the boys would not be able to do that at that time of life if they did not make themselves strong and active and keep it up . Having spoken of the beneficial effects of gymnastics on the young recruits in the Army, he declared the gymnasium open. The Dean of YORK proposed a vote of thanks to General Thynne for so kindly coming to open the gymnasium . He was told that some years ago, when it was first divulged that York was to be a military station, that the number of troops was to be increased, and a real live General was coming, the wise old people predicted all sorts of evil falling on the city. They said that it would be the means of disturbing society, and that they would all go away and leave the military alone . lle need hardly say that experience had shown that this fancy, like other fancies, had proved entirely baseless . A succession of Generals had come and had won the goodwill and regard of the citizens, and the only regret associated with them was that they had to go away to some other sphere of duty . The General represented military men, the spirit of discipline and order . He (the Dean) had been in York fifteen years, and although he did not say the character of the military was spotless he was bound to say that, as far as he was able to judge, all rinks of the army were thoroughly well conducted men, who behaved themselves as Englishmen should behave themselves, and there never had been any disturbance owing to the presence of the military . He went on to say that that gymnasium should represent

15o

CRICKET.

the spirit of discipline and order, the lack of which had often blighted a young man ' s prospects in life . There was not an allegorical meaning in a gymnasium, but there were allegorical truths attached to it . In the gymnasium these were two ways of falling on their feet, and so in life . Many young men were said to fall on their feet when they came into some great property, but they very often did not know how to manage it properly, because they had not learned endurance, and how to fall on their feet in the right way . Lord Beaconsfield, when Mr . Disraeli, was once asked at an election what he stood on, he replied, " Gentlemen, I stand on my head . " He did stand on his head, and on account of his head won the election . He (the Dean) hoped that was a gymnastic feat those boys would learn, and by standing on their heads would secure an amount of stability which would make their future lives prosperous whatever their callings might be . It was a great pleasure for the Dean and Chapter to see that addition to St. Peter' s, and he hoped that the day was not distant when they would be able to do all they wanted to for the school . They were grateful to the masters, who were doing such real hard work, and maintaining the prestige of the school. Three hearty cheers were given for General and Mrs . Thynne, the Dean, and the donor. Sergeant WvLI and an assistant then gave a display of gymnastic feats, which they went through with great smartness . The gymnasium has been fitted with all the most approved apparatus. Yorkshire Herald," July Isl.

four . Runs however came very slowly and several were missed from want of judgment . Kirke was taken off for W . Carter, off whom Sullivan scored a couple of fours and brought on his brother . This got rid of Nevile, as after getting a cut to the boundary from the other end he was caught at fine leg, 4o-1-14. Wheelwright stood six overs and saw his partner get Whitwell twice to the wall on the leg side and was then cleaned bowled. Hudson arrived, and at starting was very shaky being let off once; however he improved aml with Sullivan put on 5z for the wicket, when the latter was caught at long-slip for a very correct innings having been in just about two hours, and having hit six fours. Shepherd did not stay long but Russell helped to put on 36 before being out at point, 5 for 164 . Four later Hudson was easily stumped ; the latter part of his innings had contained some really good hits ; it included one 5 and six 4 ' s . No one else stopped long with Joicey, who ought to have been out just before the finish . He put up an easy one in the middle of the pitch, both the bowler and wicket-keeper went for it and collided. D . Carter took five wickets for zo . The innings lasted about three hours and a quarter, closing at half-past five . This left about thirty-five minutes for play, in which Shepherd clean bowled two wickets, after Wood had been let off at point. Score and analysis : ST . Pi :ref's Scnool . .

ST . PETER ' S V . OLD BoYs. The day before this important match a team of Old Boys had not been got together, but thanks to the energy of Mr Lord, 11 men managed to turn up in time to commence on Friday. The School won the toss and sent in Nevile and Wheelwright, who were soon disposed of for seven runs . On Sullivan and Hudson getting together cricket became a bit livelier though Hudson was missed when he had made one . Sullivan had got well set when he was caught in the slips of 1\Ir . Lord . His 21 included five three ' s and a four . Shepherd was smartly caught at point by Leaf after surviving one or two overs and then Hingston and Bailey quickly fell . On Joicey coming in matters underwent a distinct change, runs coming very quickly from both, but Hudson, when three off his 5o, was unfortunately run out from a smart bit of fielding by C . Whincup . Joicey continued to get runs in grand style but slowed down a little as he approached his 5o . Watson following Russell soon got set and the score quickly ruse in spite of frequent changes in the bowling . After completing his 5o amid cheers, Joicey played more freely but soon lost his partner Watson . It was hoped J oicey would carry his bat ; the seemed to have got a little tired by his long innings and after Yeld had made seven he put a ball tamely into cover point ' s hands . His 81, including two singles and 1¢ three ' s, was only marred by one easy chance when he had made. The Old Boys sent in P . E . Lord and Birks to oppose Shepherd and Nevile . Lord began hitting in merry style, despatching Shepherd to the boundary twice in his first over . Birks, after making six was clean bowled by Shepherd who repeated the performance next ball by bowling Ruse . Mosley did not survive long and Whincup at first seemed anything but comfortable. Meanwhile all the scoring was being done by Lord who quickly completed his half century but lost Whincup who fell to a grand ball from Shepherd . Nobody else offered any resistance and the innings closed for 1 r~, of which 82 were clown to AIr . Lord's credit . He gave it doubtful chance to mid-on before he scored, but bar that his innings was a grand display of hard hitting .

Ninety runs to the good, the School started on their second innings on Saturday morning with Bailey and Shepherd . The former was soon out, being followed just after by Shepherd out lbw. Things looked very bad for the School, as four wickets fell for 26, but when Hudson and Russell got together they brought the score up rapidly, Hudson doing most of the scoring . Russell was playing well but was beaten by Mosley after getting a useful 11. Hingston was a long time in making 10, leaving the run getting to Hudson, but at 76 a heavy shower of rain caused an interval of about zo minutes Shepherd then determined to declare, leaving the Old Boys 166 to get to win . Lord and Whincup went in determined to make a bold bid for victory . Runs came apace and 5o was telegraphed before a separation was ef fected by Shepherd bowling Mr. Lord, who had compiled z8 in as many minutes. After his departure the fast rate of scoring considerably fell off though Whincup was quite at home and was punishing the bowling unmercifully until Hingston going on at the bottom end, bowled him . After his departure none except Mosley, who played very careful cricket for his 21, could play the tricky deliveries of Hingston . Half an hour before time the School had won by 49 runs .

Played on May 21st, on the Asylum ground . The home team batted first . Runs came quickly, and the first wicket fell at 83, of which number Dr . Kershaw, the retiring batsman had made 40. The second wicket fell at 84, and then another long stand was made, Best and Milnthorpe taking the score to 145, when the latter was caught at the wicket, he had made 76 . When the score was 175 for 6 wickets the innings was declared closed. Nevile and Wheelwright opened the batting for us . When the score was 7, Nevile was caught . Sullivan joined Wheelwright, and by steady play they raised the score to 31, when Sullivan was caught at the wicket . Wheelwright was out " leg before " the same over . Shepherd and Hudson then took the score to 56, when Shepherd mowed at a straight ball and was bowled . Hudson left next, being bowled at 84 by a straight " long hop" which he

tried to pull . The wickets now fell quickly, and when stumps were drawn we had lost q wickets for qq runs . Yeld was very successful with the ball—he was not put on to bowl until the score was 1+5 two wickets only then being down), and he secured the rest of the wickets which fell before the innings was declared.

Played at Pocklington on Thursday, May 30 . Shepherd won the toss and put the home side in, with a view to becoming acquainted with the pace of the ground, presumably . Nevile started bowling well, taking two wickets in successive balls in his second over, and repeating the dose in his fifth, with another in his sixth : three fell at 19 . After this the home captain Taylor, who had given a difficult chance at the wicket, made a stand with Murray, and pulled the total up to 4o before being bowled . The next wicket put on zq, and then the end soon came . Our fielding was not as clean and smart as it might have been . When our innings began, Nevile was soon caught at the wicket ; Sullivan and Wheelwright rapidly put on 25 before the former was bowled off his pads. Russell and Hudson stayed with Wheelwright some time, especially Hudson, who was in whilst 35 were added At 8z Wheelwright was bowled by a good length ball for a thoroughly good and useful

Played at York June 6th . A late start was made, and it was nearly three o ' clock before Sullivan and Nevile went to the wickets to face the bowling of Evans and Speight . Sullivan was run out before we had scored, but Nevile playing carefully, with Wheelwright as his partner, the pair put on z6 before the latter was bowled for 15 . Hingston and Hudson put on five and eight respectively. Then followed Shepherd and Russell with a pair of spectacles ; Joicey had hard lines in being out leg before, and Yeld whipping in just got into double figures before he was neatly caught at mid-on by Rosamond . The innings closed with Nevile's wicket unmolested, he having lasted the innings out and scored 4z not out. In the College innings Shepherd followed up his performance against Ampleforth by securing five wickets ; of the other five,

ST . PETER' S V . YORKSHIRE GENTLEMEN.

Played on Tuesday, June 11th . The Gentlemen batted first. Hudson and Shepherd started the bowling, and were very successful at first . Nevile was called upon to bowl instead of Hudson in order to try and separate Kirke and Landon, who made a long stand . The change worked well, for Nevile took 4 out of the 5 remaining wickets for 25 runs. The School began their innings badly—Nevile being bowled by the second ball . Only Sullivan, Hudson, and Bailey offered any resistance to the bowling . Sullivan played very carefully, and was run out owing to a little hesitation in deciding whether to run or not . Yeld was also run out . He hit a ball to Mr . Lord, at cover point, and then stood out of his ground until he and his companion batsman had discussed the question of running . Before they had decided, however, the ball was returned and the wicket put down. Hudson must have batted more than half an hour for 3 . Bailey

ST . PETER ' S V . DRIFFIELD TOWN.

Our first fixture with this team was played on our ground June 15th . Shepherd won the toss and elected to bat . Sullivan and Nevile opened the innings . The first two overs were maiden, but in the third the former drove Storer off his second ball to the boundary for three . Sullivan played carefully, but was dismissed for 8 . Shepherd was soon out lbw, nor did any of the others offer any opposition to the bowling of Messrs . Storer and Lazenby. Nevile played most carefully, and repeated his performance against the Yorkshire College by playing right through the innings for 14. The innings closed for 54., of which 13 accrued to us from extras.

Dickinson and Berry batted first for Driffield . The first ten was barely hoisted before Dickinson was bowled by a good length ball from Hudson . Lazenby, the well-known Malton professional, for a long time defied the bowling, and with six wickets down the match was won by Driffield . With his score at 19, Lazenby was smartly caught by Wheelwright off Shepherd Of the rest, Stead, by some hard hits, had scored 12 before he was run out, and then the innings closed for 85 —a victory for Driffield by 31 runs.

Played on our ground June zo . Crowther had the assistance of three of his fellow Peterites, Whitby, Carter, and G . Crowther. Shepherd won the toss, and sent Nevile and Sullivan to the wickets . After a maiden over Sullivan hit a three, and the third over saw Sullivan facing the bowling of Southall . He did not, however, seem at home, and the third ball of the over dismissed him, clean bowled Wheelwright and Nevile made a short stand, and Hudson livened up matters until an adjournment was made for lunch . On re-commencing, Hudson was caught at point first ball, and Russell a few minutes later was dismissed with

five to his credit . The fast deliveries of Southall came off with deadly effect, and the innings closed for 72 . Whitby and Sykes began the innings for Crowther ' s XI ., the former batting very prettily for his 16 . A good catch by Sullivan dismissed Carter for nothing, and the next wicket also falling for nothing gave the School hopes of victory . Horsfall, however, made 20 before he was smartly caught and bowled by Shepherd. Crowther and Bairstow had a long innings, and knocked off the rest of the required runs for their team.

ST . PETER ' S V . RYBURN `ALLEY.

Played on the School ground on Saturday, June 22 . Shepherd again won the toss, and went in with Wheelwright . Thirteen runs were scored before Shepherd was caught at point, left hand. Hudson came in and soon settled down . Twelve scored off an over from Paskin brought on Walker at the School end . The change produced little effect ; in fact the pair put on 6o before Wheelwright was caught at long slip from a long hop . He had been in fifty-fiveminutes, and scored 45 out of 73, with three chances .

CRICKET.

With Sullivan in, Hudson scored faster than previously, chiefly by good drives, for some of which he scarcely got full value . The hundred went up after seventy minutes' play, and despite numerous changes the two continued to score until 132, when Sullivan was run out Two more wickets fell rather easily, and finally Shepherd declared the innings closed . Russell managed to give three chances in his brief innings . Hudson had only offered one —a return to the bowler just after completing his fifty . He had played a very steady innings, scoring more freely towards the finish, having been in about an hour and three-quarters . Ryburn Valley were left with little more than an hour to bat . Nevile got a wicket with the last ball of the first over, and Shepherd another at 9, but after that matters went better . The third wicket fell at 31, and the fourth at 44, but E . Wheelwright was playing very well, and at half-past six was still not out. RYBt1R N. ST . PETER ' S . J . Shepherd, c Paskin . b Nortcliffe 6 G. Wheelwright, I) Shepherd . 1; S .L .

PETERITE ADVENTURES, No . I. [The writer of this article suggests a series of adventu res of old Peterites : plenty of them must have had funny experiences, and we should be very grateful for the narration of such adventures to be immortalized in our pages .]

Jr was in the island of "Tanna . I wonder if any present Peterite could tell us off-hand where Tanna is situated . I know that in dear old Archdeacon Hey's time we were not very strong in geography, but perhaps things may have altered in these rapid days of advancement . At all events it was in Tanna, and in the South-West Pacific, and he came for me, brandishing a long black-handled tomahawk . And it was not fair, because I had been

PETERITE ADVENTURE.

awfully good to him, about as good as an old Peterite could be to an outsider, and I did not admire his proceedings . Nevertheless he came dancing, yelling, and gesticulating, and whirling this great long weapon round his head, and plainly meaning to have my scalp . I did not like to pistol him, because, if I had, all the fat would have been in the fire, and there would have been a general commotion, which would certainly have resulted in nothing less than the wiping out of our entire party ; for there were only four of us, and there must have been at least forty of these naked ruffians all armed with rifles and spears, and only wanting an excuse to polish us off and collar our box of "trade . " But my mate, John Macdonald, was equal to the emergency, and before you could say Jack Robinson he had bent down and charged the blackguard full in the stomach with his head I saw not the result, for the simple reason that the tomahawk, performing a revolution in its owner ' s hand, came down, happily not on its edge, on my left temple, and knocked me senseless on the sand When I recovered I was in the boat, and good old John was pouring sea water on my head most liberally out of his hat . I had a beastly headache for a day, and a slight dent I can still feel on my skull. When he saw that I was no worse John went off into fits of uncontrollable laughter, in the intervals of which he described the agony of the black beast, whose stomach must have felt a new sensation from the effects of John ' s Nova-Scotian skull . John said that he fell like a bullock, and yelled with pain, whilst his friends, so far from sympathising, were so diverted that they surrounded his miserable carcase on the beach, and greeted his groans and yells with peals of laughter . It was the funniest method of warfare they had ever seen . I don ' t know whether they afterwards adopted it themselves or not . At any rate the next time I landed on Black Beach I had a very civil reception, but John was not with me then . He had gone the way of all flesh, and that in a tragic way, and in my service . If you care to hear how a brave old Blue-nose met his end, and died true to the core, T .13 . W . I will tell you some time .

GYMNASTS

LAMENT.

A " GYMNAST'S" LAMENT. I. As I view the oaken portal Of this muscle-raising pile, As I think how many a mortal Will that threshold white defile : Then in humble adoration Grateful thoughts within me rise, For so lib ' ral a donation-Whose it is we can ' t surmise. II. But a kind of hesitation Mingled with this sentiment, Drives na' near to desperation, As I make this sad lament : Vaulting horse, ' tis my ambition High to vault with nimble toes, But I fear I'll cause derision And shall come down on my nose !

Wooden. bars in you there ' s reason, But my courage here ' s at fault : It will be a distant season That I ' ll turn a somersault. Though some Blondin at the gala Can perform on a trapeze, My attempts will prove a failure, This my mind ' s clear vision sees. IV. If against a boxer pitted, ' "wouldn ' t need a Jemmy Mace For me quickly to be fitted With a sadly swollen face. To fence me all are eager, ']'hough I'm not one of the best ; Their sport—I call it meagre— Is to stick me in the chest .

THE OLD PETERITE DINNER. V.
