CO1MMEMORATION DAY. r '1-IIS day was marked by the same festivities and ceremonies as usual . There was a celebration of the Holy Communion at 7-30 in the School Chapel, which was profusely and tastefully ornamented with flowers and plants . The following kindly took part in the decorations . Mrs . Handford, who undertook the work of the east windows and altar, Mr. and Mrs . Yeld the nave windows, Miss Ridgway and Miss Leaf the pulpit, and Miss Keyworth and Miss Yeld the lectern and choir stalls, while assistance was also given by C . M . Miller, Esq ., J . F . Leaf, and K . E . T . Wilkinson . Dr. Hingston kindly lent the plants, and generous gifts of flowers were sent by Rev . W . O . F. Campbell, Rev . J . and Mrs . Williams, Poppleton, Rev . J . Isaacson, and by Mr . Ford, Mrs . Tute, Mrs. Allenby, Mrs . Burton, Mrs . Broadwood, and Mr . Crumbie. The com-• memoration service was held at 10-30 when a large congregation was present . The clergy who took part in the service were the Rev. W. V. Fausset, M .A ., Head-Master of Ripon Grammar School, formerly Foundation Scholar and Exhibitioner of St . Peter's, and Scholar of Balliol ; Rev . Canon Fausset, D .D ., Rev. G . T. Handford, M .A ., and Revs . A . E . Burton, W . O . F . Campbell, E . S. Carter, H . G . Hopkins, F . Peel and J. E . M . Young . The service opened with the singing of the hymn " Who are these like stars appearing . " The lessons were read by H . D . Naylor and H . H . Williams . After morning prayer and the singing of the hymn " Disposer Supreme," the Rev . W . Y. Fausset took his place in the pulpit The preacher took for his text, 2 Peter, I ., 5, 6. " Add to your faith, virtue, and to virtue, knowledge, and to knowledge, temperance " ; and said that there was a knowledge which it was incumbent on every man by the very law and conditions of his

120

COMMEMORATION DAY.

being to obtain the knowledge of the One God . " Virtue," " Knowledge," and " Temperance," might be expressed as " Manliness," the knowledge of the right, " and "self government ; and these qualities he bade his hearers cultivate . He said that the special thought of that day was that the members, present and past, of the School should be knit together by the sacred associations of the past into one body, and that the thought which hallowed such a society was that it was the type of that membership in Christ ' s body which is called the Church Catholic . In an age in which party spirit is rife, no less in religion than in politics, it would be well to learn from opening manhood the lesson of charity, to " prove all things, " that is to examine fairly, and without prejudice, the various efforts of the human spirit towards truth and goodness . He said that the text expressed in terms which appealed not merely to the instructed Christian conscience, but even to the moral sense implanted in every soul of man, the scope and purpose of a public School ; and he urged them to look at the examples which the ancients gave of unswerving and almost obstinate adherence to truth and duty, and to seek knowledge in its widest sense, knowledge of God and of themselves.

After the sermon, as usual, during the singing of " Hark the sound of Holy Voices," a collection was made on behalf of the missionary objects to which the offertories of the chapel are devoted . The service then closed . Mr. Sample presided at the organ.

We must not forget to mention the new altar-cloth, which we owe to Mrs . Handford's energy and the generosity of the Old Boys ; nor the hangings on the pulpit and lectern presented by Mrs . Sargeaunt, the bright colours of which, thrown out by the pleasing contrast of the tasteful decorations, presented a most lovely picture . A large number of friends were entertained at luncheon afterwards by the Head-Master and Mrs . Handford, including Lady Emma Purey-Cust, Canon Fausset, the Head-Master of Ripon and Mrs . W . Y . Fausset, Rev. E . S . and Mrs . Carter, the Masters of the School and their Wives and the Present and Past Elevens . In the afternoon, the Old Boys' Match was played, and as the weather was everything that could be desired, a large concourse of friends assembled to watch the cricket and the field presented a very lively appearance . An account of the match will be found in another column .

SCHOOL LETTER-CAMBRIDGE LETTER .

ilf

SCI-TOOL LETTER. HERE is very little material at hand to educe anything worthy of the

T above title, but as the turn for a " School Letter " has come, something must be attempted and, would that it were not so, something done. That we are losing Mr . Campbell is now old news ; yet none the less true, and none the less saddening . We all indeed wish him all happiness in his new sphere of usefulness, though we hope that his years of labour at St . Peter ' s have been and will be far from the least happy of his experiences.

Cricket claims our attention . We congratulate the team on their all-round improvement. Up to (late, they have already passed the hundred seven times, and their close match with the Yorkshire Gentlemen, stands out well as a success due not to any individual excellence, so much as a determined effort to do the best that could be done on the part of every member of the team.

Commemoration Day was a great success in every way . The weather was lovely, the attendance unprecedented . E. Procter played a fine innings of seventy-seven and the 0 .P's . won.

Lastly, we congratulate E . W . Clarke, H . B . Whitby and R . Garwood, on their appointment to the thankless position of editors . We have no doubt, indeed this number shows it, that their energy will produce a highly successful paper.

CAMBRIDGE LETTER. N old Peterite was promenading one of the principal streets of Cambridge on the morning of degree day, when his attention was arrested by the sight of two new B .A .'s-to-be robing one another in their bachelor's hoods . The same moment he heard a townee lady remark to her pal, " Whoy, they're a-dressin themselves outsoid . " Your correspondent was the aforesaid Peterite, and the reason he relates the story is to explain his own situation . An appeal came to him to write a Cambridge letter . In an evil moment, in a fit of generosity, he gave the promise ; but now he finds the running not quite so smooth—he has to " dress outside," or rather to draw upon his own memory, which is not quite so good as it might be, for the accurate information he is expected to supply the Peterite, the appeal

A

122

CAMBRIDGE LETTER.

having come too late for him to gather it from the annals of Alma Maley. The French have the proverb, Qui s' excuse, s'accusc—may we hope that the Peterite has not descended so low as that yet.

This term has been, above all others, a term of degrees—degrees of honour awarded and withheld degrees of special grace and ordinary worth—degrees of sunshine and degrees of rain—degrees of longitude and latitude, represented by an avalanche of fathers and mothers sisters and brothers, which descended upon Cambridge in the May week, like a wolf on the fold—literally true, if not very complimentary —degrees of many another sort, among which must be reckoned an honorary degree conferred upon Herr Dvorak, the great Bohemian _ composer .

Of the degrees which perhaps interest Peterites most, we noticed Whaley and Colby both obtaining first classes—Whaley in the and part of the Classical Tripos, thus obtaining his double first, and Colby in Natural Science, R . Crosthwaite, L . Hutchings, and A C . Clarke seconds, the first two in the Natural Science, the latter in the Classical Tripos, Hopkins and Young thirds in the Theological, and Hood the same in the Natural Science . C . L . Naylor too, took his degree this term . Therewith ends our tale of Peterite successes in the degree line up at the ' Varsity this year.

The degree day itself was remarkable for its dullness, there being nothing but bright costumes to relieve the absence of wit and sunshine.

On the other hand the reading of the Mathematical Tripos list gave rise to a great deal of excitement, and one wag was heard to ask, when the examiner read out a certain lady as being between 57 and 58 (in position), whether that had been notified in the census-paper.

In cricket the 'Varsity have been doing very fairly well, and ought to have no difficulty whatsoever in beating Oxford, who seem to be weaker than ever this year .* Our great victory has been over Surrey, who had not been beaten before this year, and was due in great measure to Wood's bowling and batting . St. Peter's are not, needless to say, represented in the team, nor can we point to any old Peterite as likely at present to find a place in it . We look to the present generation to remedy this deficiency in the future.

[-Since this letter was written the Lniversity match has fallen to Cambridge, as cur correspondent predicted.—Ed."

OXFORD LETTER .

I23

Boating has received a fair amount of attention from everybody, including the paters and maters, scours and freres this term, and a glorious wind-up came off in the May-week, during which Cambridge put on her best dress and succeeded in deciding for everybody, we cannot but hope, that life is worth living . Trinity Hall kept head of the river, and were never pressed at all by First Trinity who finished second . In the latter boat there were five freshmen rowing—among them, Kerr, of Durham—which, in a good boat like that, should augur well for the future of Cambridge rowing . Hutchings and Leaf both had places in their college boats, while Hopkin ' s coxing abilities were again utilized by St . Catherine's.

With this we feel we have done our duty, and with a gentle reminder to all intending Cantabs-to-be, that they will be heartily welcomed by Cam ' s present sons from Eboracum, we would subscribe ourselves under the noon de plume of M . N . L.

OXFORD LETTER. IHE chief topic this term, in the ancient city, is the University Eights . Brasenoee showed good form throughout the contests, and still remains head of the river . Pembroke perhaps caused the greatest excitement during the struggle, making no fewer than six bumps . On the strength of this success, the same crew intend rowing; at Henley . AV'e are glad to see that Guy Nickalls and his brother, the, ° promising freshman " mentioned in a December number of the Peterite, are also down to contend in the pairs at IIenley.

To turn to the cricket, we can but lament the fact that the season has been most unsuccessful for the Oxonians . The team nevertheless is very good in the field, and, in this department of the game, perhaps better than last year . E . Smith, who at the time of writing is playing for the Gentlemen z'. Players, at the Oval, has without a doubt proved himself an able batsman, and is at times very destructive with the leather . Bassett, who unfortunately was not playing in the earlier part of the season, is evidently the most deadly bowler in the team, seldom failing to come off.

Oxford Peterites in residence have this term kept amazingly quiet.

This quietude perhaps is the calmness of contemplation previous to some great achievement . Let us hope this is the case.

DURHAM LETTER.

Commemoration week was as gay as ever, crowds of visitors " in summer suits and silks of holiday " lining the banks of the river on the day of the procession of the boats . At the Encomia Mr . Balfour was deservedly invested with the degree of D .C .L , honoris owsa . IIe was greeted on his entrance into the Sheldonian with the universal chorus of " For he ' s a jolly good fellow ." After the function, when all was silent—a rare state of things on an occasion like this—a gentleman in the gallery was heard to remark in a clear but feeble voice . a ° Dr. Balfour will now say a few words . " This was followed by a prolonged cry of " Speech! Speech ! " But the M. P . contented himself with smiling divinely . Numerous attempts at wit were made daring the proceedings, but there was no very " excellent pass of pate . " News of Oxford Peterites is scanty, and difficult to collect .

P.

DURHAM LETTER. HERE is an old adage which tells us how difficult it is, if not impossible, to draw blood from a stone . The Petrrite Editors, however, demand that this impossibility be overcome, and that a letter be written on the doings of three . First then Bulman has been elected captain of the D .U .1~ .F .C . for the ensuing season . Wide on the river, in the ' Varsity races, he rowed 3 in the University College boat which won the Senate cup . And again, at Sunderland Regatta, in the Durham City boat, he did much towards winning' the Grand Challenge cup . At Hatfield, Chilman rowed 3 in the first boat, and made a plucky attempt to retain the Challenge Pairs. For the failure the river shallows must be blamed, and not the O.P . oar . Ile alao represented the 'Varsity at Sunderland . While Cook stroked the Hatfield 2nd which won the Inter-Colls . Such the chronicle of their doings by flood and field. For prowess in the schools we must wait till next December, when one of the trio takes his finals . And here we are glad to congratulate O .P ' s . at Cambridge on their many and great successes.

And so with these pleasant thoughts for all Old Boys, as well as for the School, I am fain to close my letter .

THE OLD I'ETERITE DINNER. (LONDON DISTRICT .)

T

IIIS annual meeting was held in the Ilolborn Restaurant, on Tuesday, the 80th June, under the direction of the O .P . Club.

The chair was again taken by Canon Elwyn, who was supported by the present Head-Master and a representative committee of 0 . P . ' s.

-After dinner and the usual loyal toast, the Chairman, in one of his happiest speeches, called upon the guests to drink to the success of St. Peter's . Referring to the distinctions gained by O .P . 's, he said that one of his greatest pleasures in former days was to see James approaching the study window with one of the telegrams which were front time to time sent by Pete] . lies announcing their success at the universities or elsewhere, and at the same time to think that it was not only the clever boys, but also the less distinguished ones, who reflected honour on the School . The position held by St . Peter' s was well illustrated by the letter lately received by the present IIeadMaster from the Principal of the Agricultural College, Aspatria, as given in the Pe/et-de of May last, offering in flattering terms an entrance scholarship to be attached to St . Peter's . The absence of Mr . Stephenson from the meeting would be felt by all who knew hint as a loss, but in future years it was to be hoped that both he and Canon G . F . Browne, one of the four distinguished canons of St. Peter's, would be able to be present. The living recently presented to Mr . Campbell must be held to be a recognition by the Dean and Chapter of the valuable work done by him, and under such masters St. Peter' s must continue in the old path of success . In conclusion, he coupled with the toast the names of the Head-_Master, and Messrs.

Newbery and Anderson, the former a well-known member of the Indian Civil Service and the latte r an ornament of the Bar. Mr . Ilandford, after referring to his position as represented by the figure of Chiastnus, gave an account of the recent successes in the Triposes at Cambridge, and dwelt upon the fact that with the expectation of improved facilities for teaching natural science, still

1

THE OLD PETERITE DINNER.

better results might be hoped for in the immediate future . The willingness of the Dean and Chapter to erect new buildings, which are to be commenced in the autumn, sheaved the views which they entertained of the progresi of the School, and although a generous offer from a correspondent to build a gymnasium had been checked by the unfortunate attitude taken up by the owner of adjoining land and his refusal to sell any part of his property, it was now a subject for consideration whether such a building could conveniently be erected on the present limited playground.

Mr . Newbery spoke of himself not only as a past Peterite, but an imperfect, a pmterpluperfect, and some might say, even an old gerund . Ile attributed his success in life to the education at St. Peter' s, where the boys learned not to look for opportunities for showy exploits, but to do their duty steadily like Englishmen . This was the spirit that induced so many of them to accept ill-paid livings in the Church and pass their lives among the poor . But still there were distinguished members to be found in the Army, and the legal and other professions . In the Crimean War three Peterites, whose names were still retnemhered in the Guards and the 92nd and 22nd Regiments, climbed the heights of the Alma, and won glory for themselves and their country . So, too, in the Indian Mutiny and elsewhere O .P .'s were to be found to the fore.

Mr . Anderson regretted that all the good things had been said for hhn 1)y the previous speakers, but as no reference had been made to t wo pillars of the School, who had now passed away, he would call attention to them . Mr . Richardson's system of education, though it might be called eccentric, laid the foundation of character in his boys.

For him there was no middle course between right and wrong ; p'v always was "indeed" and " but, " and any deviation from this standard led to the bottom of the Lower Fourth . In those days there was a creed to believe and swear by, but now the boyish mind, is schooled to grammatical agnosticism by shades and inflections of meaning that it cannot grasp, and when the grammar is dropped the agnosticism remains, light, vain, and undecide 1 . In the same spirit Ilerr Ilabersak used his own phrase book for French in plain everyday language, which could be and must be remembered verbatim for immediate use.

THE OLD PETERITE DINNER .

4127

The Rev . T . II . Gregory, rising to propose the Health of the Chairman, " declined to keep up the character of a country parson by probing, but would give them the toast as shortly as possible . He was not an old pupil of Canon Elwyn's, but an old boy who recognised the keen interest shown for the School by him.

After an interruption of some minutes caused by a simultaneous uprising to drink the toast, a hearty rendering of " He ' s a jolly good fellow " and vociferous cheering, Mr . Lambert formally seconded the toast, and remarked that he was now out of place, and nothing but the magisterial authority of Mr . Handford which called upon him could induce him, after such a demonstration, to add his ex post facto testimony of the admiration felt for Canon Elwyn by all who knew him, and many others who had not that privilege . IIe would, however, bear witness to the value of the system of education in former days, and, in a well-turned anecdote of Herr Habersak ' s conversational methods, he shewed the use to which well-trained boys might put the famous phrase book. In conclusion, he expressed a hope that they might for many years to come see Canon Elwyn in his place amongst them.

Canon Elwyn, in acknowledging the toast, spoke of the pleasure that he had deriA ed from Mr . Lambert's racy speech and anecdotes, and of his own experience in French masters, and saying that whether in York or London it was always a pleasure to attend the OP . dinners.

He invited all Peterites in town and country to be present on the next occasion.

The Chairman then declined to allow the party to separate without drinking the health of the IIon . Sec . (London), and this having been done, and acknowledged, the meeting broke up about eleven o'clock.

The following is a list of those who accepted invitations : Abrahall, 13 . If . ; Alingtou, V . AV" . ; Anderson, Y . ; Atkinson, Rev. E . W . ; Bayly, F . W. ; Chadwick, C . H . ; Clayforth, E. W.

CRICKET. v . RIPON GRAMMAR SCHOOL. This match was played on the School Ground on May 3oth . The School winning the toss elected to bat, and sent Whitby and Procter to the wickets to face the bowling of Bland and Daniel . The former batsman was soon disposed of, being well caught by Coupland, and

CRICKET .

Bingham, who followed, returned without scoring . Naylor then joined Procter and they stayed together for some time, causing Wrangham to goon in place of Bland . This change soon caused another wicke t to fall, as Naylor, after playing well for his so, was cleaned bowled by Wrangham . Whincup followed and stayed in some time, runs coming very slowly, but he eventually fell to Fenton, and Procter soon followed, having played very well for his 16 . Carter and Padel hit up the score well, but after scoring to 1'adel had hard lines in hitting his wicket, but Carter continued to raise the score till he was bowled by 11 - rang-ham after a merry 26 . Stephenson and Atkinson gave some trouble for the last wicket, but the former, after staking 6, fell to a good ball from Daniel, and the innings closed for 89 . Ripon opened their innings with Ellis and Fenton to the howling of Naylor and Carter. Ellis soon fell to a catch off Naylor, but Bland raised the score steadily with Fenton, who was batting very well, till he was well caught by Naylor for 12 . Coupland was soon bowled by 'Whitby and then Day came in and put to runs to his credit before he was caught by Bing-ham off Carter ' s bowling . After W rang-ham had made 8 Daniel joined Fenton and together they raised the total to 14o before the former was bowled by F . M . Bingham . Fenton was soon after howled by a good ball from Whitby, having played well for his Io5, and the remainder of the team not doing much, the innings closed for 177 . We were thus beaten by 88 runs.

z' . YORhSHIRE GENTLEMEN. This match was played on the Yorkshire Gentlemen 's ground on June 4th . The School won the toss and went in to bat first, the light being very bad indeed . Little can be said of the School ' s innings which was a most unhappy display . No one was able to offer any resistance to the bowling of Dodsworth, and our score only reached the very moderate total of 39 . It must be confessed, however, that our opponents placed in the field one of the strongest elevens at their disposal . Of the Yorkshire Gentlemen, Cayley and Jones were the highest scorers with 35 and 36 respectively . Rain stopped play at 5-3 0 , when they had put together 121 for 5 wickets.

CRICKET .

v . MR . J . C . WALKER'S XI. This match was played on the School Ground on June 9th . The School lost the toss and went out to field . The first three wickets offered little resistance, but when Wisker and Glaisby were together a long stand was effected, which might have been broken sooner had the numerous chances offered been accepted . Dr. Law and Pope played well for 20 and 18 respectively . No one else proved very formidable, and we may congratulate the team on dismissing a strong batting side for the very moderate total of ro6 . Whitby and Procter opened our innings . The former was soon sent back, but F . Bingham and Procter made matters more lively, and the score was quickly raised to 33, when Bingham was unfortunately run out after playing well for 23 . Peel, Naylor, and S . Bingham paid short visits, but another stand was made when Carter joined Procter . Carter soon settled down to work and he and Procter raised the score to 61 before the former was caught . With the total at 71 for 8 wickets, Hancock came in five minutes before time, and in the short time indulged in some lively hitting, sending Wisker for two 2's in one over and for 4 in the next . He and Procter were still together when time was called, and the match thus ended in a very creditable draw . Procter 's innings was an exhibition of good and steady cricket, going in first he was still not out when time was called, and though scoring slowly he defied every change in the bowling and played with care and patience. \IR .

v . N . R . ASYLUM. Played on the Asylum ground on June 11th . Losing the toss the school went out to field . Carter and Martin opened the bowling for us . In Martin ' s first over he dismissed Best, and Glaisby fell in Carter' s second . Streatfield and Dr . Law gave some trouble . After hitting Carter for three 4 ' s in one over Streatfield was out lbw . Drs. Nicholson and Law made a considerable stand but the former had soon to retire to the bowling of Whitby Dr . Law played well for 27 belt none of the others gave much trouble and the innings closed for 83.

Mention must be made of the excellent catch which dismissed Leckenby_ Prospects looked bright when the school opened their innings, but alas ! though the fielding of the team showed a marked improvement on that of the previous match, in the batting department they unaccountably collapsed . No one save Carter was able to stand up to the bowling of Best . Carter's innings was the most lively cricket he has treated us to yet and he gave rise to hopes of victory when he hit Best for six in one over and seven in the next . Our total only reached 53 .

LEEDS GRAMMAR SCHOOL. Played on the School ground on June loth, before a large number of spectators . Johnson won the toss and elected to bat first on a hard wicket. He and Shillito opened the innings for Leeds facing the bowling of Carter and Martin . In Carter's second over Johnson was disposed of by a catch at cover-point . Bousfield joined Shillito, and by steady scoring, raised the score to 31, when the former returned a ball into the bowler' s hands . On resuming after lunch, Shillito and Thompson were together, the latter hitting with great freedom . This

1 36

CRICKET.

brought on Bingham and Whitby. In Whitby 's third over Shillito was caught in the slips . Three wickets for 52 . With the score at 59, Bingham got Whincup secured at square-leg . The next ball he disposed of Hill, l .b .w ., and in the third ball Peel caught Johnson at point, Bingham thus accomplishing the hat trick . Naylor for Whitby was the next change . Soon after Bingham bowled Thompson, who had played a good innings, for 29 . With the score at 83 Richardson was very well caught by Peel, who fielded well throughout the innings . Yeadon and Hammond gave little trouble, the former out to a catch at the wickets, the latter well caught by Whitby . Together with the contribution of the never-failing extras, the Leeds score reached 122 . The School fielded as well as we have seen them this season ; with two hour's play before them the School began their innings, F . Bingham and Procter going first to the wickets . The beginning was most inauspicious, as off the first ball he received, Bingham was easily caught behind the wickets from a high catch . Peel joined Procter, but the latter was soon bowled by Yeadon . Peel played well for 9, but soon retired after Whitby's arrival . Whitby and Padel soon settled down to business, but when Padel was playing very well he unfortunately played a fast ball on to his wicket . Naylor joined Whitby and at this point a long stand was effected ; both batsmen played with great confidence and freedom, and brought on Bousfield in place of Richardson . Soon after Whitby was caught by Thompson after a very good innings for 28.

Carter followed and quickly made i9 ; he and Naylor raising the score very rapidly until, with half an hour's play remaining, the century was telegraphed . Thompson bowled Carter and S . O . Bingham came in with the score at ror . Naylor continued to punish the bowling severely, but Bingham after adding a couple was caught by Shillito amid much excitement. Requiring 15 runs to win and with about ten minutes left, Hancock came to the wickets . After the latter had hit Johnson for 3 Hammond went on to bowl ; Naylor hit him for 3 and the next ball Hancock sent away for a similar number, and five minutes before time Naylor made the winning hit . Through some misunderstanding however, on the part of the scorers, it was thought that the school still required 3 runs to win, and consequently Naylor and Hancock returned to the wickets and the latter was howled by the second ball he received . The excitement was now very great when Martin went in .

CRICKET .

I 37

After Martin had snicked Thompson for two, Naylor von the match a second time by a short run . We were thus left victorious with two wickets in hand . Naylor must be congratulated on his excellent innings . Going in when the score was only 32, he hit very freely, and in spite of many changes in the bowling, gave an exhibition of good and live ly cricket . It was practically by his efforts that the match was won .

Shortt fell to Martin in the first over, being well caught by Peel, and Lodge was clean bowled by Carter in the next . Price was bowled with the score at 4, and Adamson retired to a good one from Martin 4 runs later . Robinson and Booth were then together and raised the score to 37 when the former was well caught by Procter, and Thompson was caught and bowled by Whitby the next ball . Cumberledge then carne in and quickly hit up 23, being then bowled by Martin . No one else gave much trouble with the exception of Thew, who made and the innings closed for 84 . For the School Whitby and Procter went in first, and began scoring at once . Both batsmen hit freely and raised the score to 29 for the first wicket, Whitby being then caught at point

by Robinson . Procter continued to play very good cricket and slowly raised the score, though he did not get much assistance from the other batsmen, till he played on to Kendal after a good 27 . Lodge bowled extremely well, and after the first two men were out had not much difficulty in despatching the rest, taking the 3 last batsmen in consecutive balls . We were thus beaten by 23 runs.
