SCHOOL LETTER. h: would call the attention of our readers to the interesting letter of the Bishop of Caledonia which was commenced in our last number and is concluded in- our present ; the school has for many years subscribed to his mission, and his account shows that it is a mission which deserves to be well supported. The cricket fixtures on the card have now all been played, and our record for the season shows 17 played, 6 won, 4 drawn, 7 lost . We refrain from needless comment, as full accounts of all but the last two or three matches will be found elsewhere : after a somewhat easy victory at home, we lost to Durham away : the Durham air must be at fault, as the football team met the same fate . Sullivan ' s batting has been the chief feature of the year : two centuries, one against the Yorkshire Gentlemen, the other against the Old Boys is an event that does not occur every year in school cricket, and «heelwright ' s two fifties in the same matches require a more eloquent tongue than ours to describe them. Commemoration Day was a great success, and the cricket match was well patronised : we were delighted to see the kindly face of the Dean of fork, both at the luncheon and at the cricket match. We cannot quit the subject of cricket without remarking on the excellent condition in which the ground has been kept this season, considering the dryness of the season, and the increased number of matches, this is especially praiseworthy and a great change for the -better .

The Athletic Sports will take place on July 28 and 29 . We hope that more will train this year ; last year Ford was allowed to win more than his share of events : he has now left the school, but with reasonable training the performances ought to be quite up to the average, though he was certainly a runner of more than average merit, not to speak of his jumping. In conclusion the editorial firm is about to he divided ; after a term of service of three years and two years respectively we hid yon a touching farewell . We leave you a balance sheet, the account of our stewardship for the past year and a half ; for convenience sake, as editors usually lease at midsummer, the publication of the balance sheet has been altered to that number. Dayhoy's subscriptions will he due next term, and, the subscription being now zs . 6d ., we hope that the school magazine will be taken in by every boy .
CORRESPONDENCE. (belle- from the Bi :v/mfr of Caledonia continued .; The heathen are dirty, ragged, dispirited, and though envious of the well-being of their Christian tribesmen, cannot be induced to emulate them. The paths in their villages are crooked trails so filthy that one must take good heed to his ways or soon find himself in a disgusting plight . The children stand at a distance in awe, huddled together, unwashed, unkempt, in tatters or hits of blanket. In the biting cold of winter I have seen two little ones under one scanty piece of blanket and nothing else to cover them ! Their houses are rotting, propped up and patched as if no future were before them . Squalid within and dismal without they faithfully indicate the physical and moral degradation of their ignorant and superstitious inhabitants . One mourns to see such misery and feel helpless to remove it until they believe our message of a Saviour's redeeming love . They, however, cling with a passionate resolve to their old ways, ready to die rather than give

them up . There are fine and noble possibilities in these remnants of an ancient race which clearly shine in those who believe in Jesus Christ. Nowhere that I know does the elevating as well as the saving power of faith in Christ so stand out as among the christian Indians who are in such happy contrast with their non-christian brethren. You would be surprised to see what pains the christians take to rescue them from their low estate . They start off when all the autumn work is done and winter supplies are stored for family use, to carry the glad tidings to their heathen fellow•Indian . They walk hundreds of miles each winter, as soon as the rivers and lakes are frozen, at their own charges, for no other object than to preach the gospel of peace . If you knew what they have then to endure you would understand their faith and love. Last autumn I saw some of the fruits of this volunteer agency at least 170 miles away from the Nass river christian villages. When at IIazelton, an important place about 200 miles from the mouth of the Keena river, I was urged by a tribe of Indians 6o miles further up the river to send them a missionary . They had heard of the wonderful love of Christ in dying for them from the liyensh native christians during their great itinerations. With me at the time was a young layman, son of an English clergyman, who instantly volunteered for the work . There he is all alone among the heathen, feeling it the noblest work a man can have to lead others to the Saviour . Truly, boys, it is a splendid vocation ? Now, a word about my voyages up these two rivers. The trip up the Nass was unpleasant because of the rain . It is a small thing I know, but I delight in the glorious majesty of Autumn on the river among the mountains, but the sunshine is wanted. The first night out my tent was pitched clear of the forest trees to avoid the drip that outlasts the rain . The great hank (or as we say here bar) of boulders had too thin a covering of sand to hold tent pegs, so I selected two small drift logs, laid them parallel to each other, weighted them with boulders to hold them

fast, then pitched my little tent between and fastened the ropes to the logs . They are in some respects better than pegs in sand because they hold up the tent in a gale of wind more securely. It was not the rainy season though raining, and the river level was at least six feet lower, and quite forty-five paces away, so that I lay clown to sleep satisfied with me security . 'l'lhe pelting rain stretched the canvas as tight almost as a drumhead and drummed on it violently all night . A small rain sprang from the inside of the beaten canvas which made me pull my blanket over my head to keep it dry. I could not sleep . Just before dawn, when the darkness was thick, I had a creepy sort of feeling caused by a swirling swishy sort of noise as if the river were close up . I put out my head but could see nothing . I lighted my lantern, and holding it over me head I then saw that the water reached the " deadmen " as we call the weighted drift logs. At once I packed up, and without waiting to eat, quickly got all my belongings into the canoe, and with the breaking of the dawn started up the river . We had to pass the same spot next day and stopped to pick up a forgotten kettle, but found live feet of water flowing over the place where my tent had stood . My Indians had slept under the trees. Next night we were under a roof . It was a rough mission house, only used in April and May du r ing the great oolachan fishing, but deserted at other seasons . It was dark before we reached the place, and then had to climb up a very steep hank of clay about ten feet high from the river. We fixed the canoe mast against it, and having cut footholds in the bank with the axe, climbed up and got well plastered with the greasy clay. "Then, to get into the house, not having the key, we had to rip off three of the weather boards . Having sent the smallest Indian through, he took the lock off the door and we all entered, glad enough to get shelter from the rain . It was impossible to get up any cooking utensils then, so we took along some ship biscuits in our pockets for supper and breakfast . I took also a tin of sardines, being addicted to luxury .

The place smelt of vermin on entering, but tired men are indifferent to such matters . So I rolled myself iii my rather wet blankets in one room and the crew- in another. The rats soon smelled out my biscuits, and, I suppose, also attracted by sardines, they swarmed around . 'I`lie racket began as I began to doze, and my night ' s work was to save my breakfast from the devouring disturbers You would certainly be amused if 1 described what happened . I do not wish to dwell upon it . I really hate rats. Let us away to the Skeena River . Since I last wrote to you I think, a powerful stern wheel steamer, capable of ] 6 miles an hour, has been put on the river . She is built in eight watertight compartments, can carry about ioo tons of freight, and about 30 passengers. The most dreaded part of the voyage is the getting through the Canyon, where the river is wedged in by lofty rocks, so its to make the water very deep, swift and full of whirlpools. Our great difficulty, however, was just chore the Canyon, where there is a vast bank of boulders quite covered in the season of high water, hut in September it becomes an island because of the snow being all melted on the mountains, causing the lower water in the river. The force of the high water often carries away parts, or piles up fresh material from these great bars . We found a new spur stretching across the end of the main passage of the Canyon, in which the rush of water is too tierce for anything to get through. We had passed up through the smaller of the two Canyon channels, but could not steam through the river channel on that side of the island bar, because there was a shallow at the upper end. But to go up the further side of the bar into the main channel of the rr'er. we had to round the newly formed spur that overlapped the main channel of the ('an_run . To me it seemed impossible. 1 am doubtful if I can clearly explain the difficulty or the way we surmounted it. How to get round that spur without being driven on the opposite rocks is the thing to be solved .
300
CORRESPONDENCE.
It might be possible if we can make fast a strong cable ashore on the bar, and with it, as a radius, swing the ship through in an arc of about 6o degrees ; and then trust to being caught by the powerful eddy . Should such a cable hold we cannot be swept by the irresistible fury of the choked up river on to the rocks. Two 14-feet logs were cut from the forest, and after tying to each the end of a hemp cable, four inches in diameter, we buried the logs in the boulders, then they are called deadmen . The other ends of the cables are made fast near the bow of the steamer, one to the steam capstan, the other passing over an iron check close to the stern . We have now two radii from two very near together centres, and we have to move along the circumference. All is ready, and with a full head of steam in reserve, we creep along the lower edge of the bar, starting from about 8o fathoms from its spur . Two men, each with a sharp axe, stand by the cables to cut them through at a given signal . Gingerly the ship ' s bow enters the current near the point until its strength straightens the cables . The surges burst over the bow : the water rushes past us madly . If the cables hold the current itself will carry us round by a skilful use of the four big rudders . "Those ropes have an awful strain on them . What if the deadmen were to rise from their graves ? They have risen ! and the ship is carried by the current towards the rocks astern In a moment the axes fell, the cables tailed off in the stream just clear of rapidly revolving wheel turning astern with full steam power . It was a breathless moment as we rushed past those perilous rocks over which the river leaped, and a narrow escape from destruction. We rebury the deadmen in much deeper graves, splice the cables and try again. Other tactics must now be employed . The steamer is cautiously warped stern foremost right against the bar just inside the spur, and the great stern wheel is actually trade to dig into it . VVe were detained four days, and loosened more than a hundred tuns of boulders which the mighty current swept clean into the Canyon. Once again all is ready . We start from slack water at the dotted line ; and creep along the shore as close in as we can float .
COMMEMORA'IIO\ DAY .

The deadmen will never rise again ; they are so deep . Foot by foot the ship ' s bow passes the now rounded point or spur into the swift current . The axes are ready, the steam hissing, the cables as rigid as a bar of steel ; the captain ' s hands, and three pair more, are on the spokes of the seven foot steering-wheel in the pilot house . He signals full speed ahead so as to get steering way in case of again breaking away. The frantic water roars as it leaps past or over the bows ; astern the revolving wheel adds to the uncanny tumult . We are in the full sweep of the down rush, and to judge by the water ' s speed past us, we were going at railroad pace ; but not past the land, only over the stream . Snap . away goes the after part of the iron chock like a stone from a catapult . The sudden jerk of the cable pulled out the great oak cleat six feet long, the big iron bolts being drawn from the deck beams as pins out of cheese. A double strain was now put on the remaining cable which seemed to cry out in pain . We are flying through the baffled water . The signal is given : down comes the axe ; back jumps the cable, the end untwisted like a trundled mop, and in a trice are caught by the strong eddy and swept past the dangers into peace and safety ! The mental tension over, a loud hurrah rings out joyfully ! In descending we had to pass through the same peril, but God brought us home safe and sound. I am, very sincerely yours, W . CALEDONIA.

COMMEMORATION DAY. As June zgth, St . Peter' s I)ay, fell this year upon a Monday, it was deemed advisable, for many reasons which need not be detailed here, to hold the celebration of it on the Tuesday after . The hapel was tastefully decorated for the occasion with flowers and plants, and we have to thank Mrs . Handiord and those ladies who
302
CRICKET.
also gave their services for their successful exertions . The Service, which was attended by a large congregation, was read by the Bead Master, and included the 89th Psi ., and the Hymns: " Disposer Supreme " and " ° dust as I am . " The Sermon was preached by the Rev. G . L . Le Maistre, an Uld Boy of the School, who took his text from Nchetnia 8, 1o . " The joy of the Lord is your strength . " The preacher told how the Israelites were encouraged by the prophet and stirred up to fresh endeavours by these words, which were also especially applicable to the boys of a public school. True happiness was the real aim of religion, and this happiness could only be obtained by living pure and noble lives . All could not be great, but all could be noble in whatever station of life each one might be called, and life at school was the training ground for the battle of life outside . In conclusion, he referred to the days that he had spent at the School, and wished success in all their undertakings t.o all who, now united at school, would soon be scattered throughout the world. A celebration of the Holy Communion was held immediately after the Morning Service. The cricket match was continued at 12-30, and about an hour later an adjournment was made for luncheon, at which, besides the cricket teams, many visitors were entertained, amongst whom we saw the Dean and Lady Emma. In the Afternoon the attendance at the match was very large, a record one in all probability, and the spectators were rewarded by seeing some very plucky batting on the part of the School, in what was rather an uphill fight . The weather was luckily all that could be desired, whilst the dresses of the ladies added much to the gay appearance of the field . The match, as recorded elsewhere, ended in a win for the old Boys, by seven wickets.

CRICKET. ST . PETER ' S V . YORKSHIRE GENTLEMEN
Played on opponents' ground, May z8th, in fine weather . The Gentlemen batted first, and the hard wicket proved of advantage to the batsmen . Messrs . Walker and Cox made 21 & 31 respectively. the former being bowled by 1Iingston, and the latter retiring. Landon and Wood were in good form, the latter hitting nine fours in his score of 5S . After eight wickets had fallen, the Gentlemen declared their innings closed, and with z!; hours to play the School had 256 runs to get—not an easy task. Nevile and Sullivan went first to the wickets, but Jones, in his fourth over, bowled Nevi le for one run, and the stand of the afternoon was then made by Sullivan and Wheelwright . In Wheelwright' s display there were only eight singles, his hitting being without a fault ; with 70 runs to his account he was lbw to Wood ' s bowling . Turning to Sullivan ' s century, a score which was last made against the Yorkshire Gentlemen on the same ground by F . Mitchell, we observe three hard chances, two of which were in the slips and one at the wicket : he was at length caught by Walker. joicey followed with 15, and it was seen that there would be an exciting finish . Russell and Yeld made a good stand, and when stumps were drawn at 7 o ' clock, Russell being caught of} Lawson Smith, the School required 19 runs to win, with four wickets to fall.

Sr . PETER ' S V . POCKI .INGTON G. S. Played at York on Saturday, June 6th . The visitors batted first, a great advantage, and ran up the very satisfactory total of 1 .4.6. Allison and .Murray displayed good cricket, and almost every member of the team played with a straight bat. Nevile and Sullivan then opened our innings, and whatever hope we had that our opponents' total would be passed soon vanished, for one after another, in quick succession, succumbed to the deliveries of Allison and Cautley, and our total only reached 39 . We therefore had to follow on, and, although a little better start was made, we were all dismissed for 38. The bowling of Allison and Cautley was apparently too good and straight for us, and met with a very feeble resistance . In our second innings some of our batsmen adopted a kind of " Don ' t care " style, and hit wildly at everything--a method which met with the usual result . Our defeat was as complete as it was unexpected, but we hope to make a better fight in the return match. Score and Analysis : I

ST . PETER ' S V . ALMOND11URY OLI1 Boys. This match was played on June 19th, at York . Nevile and Sullivan went in first, runs coming slowly . Sullivan was soon disposed of for 4., but Nevile and Yeld made a long stand, adding 34. and 32 respectively . An unaccountable collapse then took place, Metcalfe alone showing any resistance to the bowling. Sykes and Walton made most of the runs for the visitors, and with seven wickets clown for 6o, there seemed considerable prospect of victory . Heron and Cameron, however, hit oft the remaining runs . and Almondbury won by I2 runs. Scores and Analysis : Sr . PETER ' S'' .

'I'lhe School were without Wheelwright . which of course was a considerable handicap . The Gentlemen won the toss and Firth and Marsden opened the innings to the bowling of Kingston and Greeves ; Marsden was bowled by Hingston for one . but Firth scored freely, mostly off Greeves whose bowling was rather erratic, and made 79 ; he gave several difficult chances before being finally caught by Greeves . In spite of numerous bowling changes the scoring continued at a rapid pace, the fielding being partly to blame for this .

With two hours remaining for play, the School commenced their innings at live o ' clock with Sullivan and Nevile, who made so good a start that the first wicket did not fall until 78 had been put, Sullivan being bowled after having made .5 in just an hour in his usual good style and without a chance . Joicey then came in and made a hard cut for . . off his first ball Nevile was caught at the wicket for 34, he seemed to find Wilson difficult at first but afterwards played with confidence and was not tempted to hit by the proximity of the field . Joicey returned one to the bowler when he had made 25 which was mostly made up of hard hits . The next four wickets did nothing, but when stumps were drawn at 7 o ' clock the School had still three wickets in hand. Cass was one of the most alert in the field. YORKSHIRE GENTLEMEN . Sr .

DURHAyI

SCHOOL.
This return match was played at Durham, on June 131111 . The weather was fine and warm and the wicket in good condition. Durham won the toss, and had half-an-hour's batting before luncheon . Hingston and Greeves started the bowling to Sagar and Elliott . After getting each bowler to the boundary, Sagar was bowled ; and three ovens later Hingston got Elliott's wicket ; whilst just before the interval Yeld, who had replaced Hingston, clean bowled Price, 3 for zo . At this time matters looked very well for S . Peters, and on resuming two more wickets quickly fell, and half the home team were out for .} . Meanwhile Clarke had been playing a very free game, but though he made plenty of runs, especially from Yeld, yet he was very lucky in putting up balls just out of reach of the field . Two wickets fell at 89, and then Yates stayed with Clarke till 125 was on the board, when Yeld had his revenge by bowling the latter with a beauty . The innings ended at 128. As in Durham ' s innings so in ours, at the beginning we seemed absolutely safe to win . Nevile and Sullivan took the score to 49 by very steady cricket in about an hour . Sullivan scored the first

17, and then he stood still while Nevile got is, and then again Sullivan began to score . Things were going very well with us till, at .} ;, Sagar went on to bowl . He at once got Sullivan, who had had none of the bowling for some time, and then Wheelwright who hit across at a straight one, 2 for 5 t . Then Joicev helped Nevile to take the score to 71, the cricket being very dull . In fact Nevile was at one time twenty-five minutes scoring one run . After Nevile left, an unaccountable rot set in . There seemed no other reason for the wretched cricket displayed, except that a few runs were wanted . With the exception of a little hitting by 7tletcalfe, the batting was as feeble as can well he imagined, and after so bright a start we were all out for o6, and had lost the match by 32 runs.

Sr . PaFER ' S V . POCKLINGTON SCHOOL. We journeyed to Pocklington on Thursday, July 2nd, anxious to wipe out our defeat itt the first match, and we fully achieved our desire, winning by 72 runs- Nevile won the toss and this time decided to take first innings . The start was very bad . Nevile tvas caught at the wicket at 3 and Sullivan clean bowled at 7 . Then -V eld and joicey began a long partnership . Playing very steadily indeed they kept the ball low and gave no chances . Coining when

it did Yeld ' s f z was an invaluable innings . The wicket was very bumpy and the bowling wanted careful watching . At the interval the score stood at }9 for 3 wickets, Joicey not out zz . On resuming it was soon evident that the batsmen meant scoring and Joicey got a grand hit to the square leg boundary . The fourth wicket fell at 77, having added 35, strangely enough the same as the third wicket produced . Then Wheelwright, after a pretty innings, was very well thrown out by Allison . Next Watson played a free innings of 16 . Metcalfe had his usual knock and eventually the innings closed for the respectable total of i zg. When Allison and Lipscomb began for Pocklington, Greeves and Yeld were the bowlers . Yeld was very short at first and Allison hit him for two and three ; but Greeves was bowling very well indeed and in his fourth over bowled Allison and got Murray caught at the wicket . Two for 7 . This was promising, but two overs later Greeves dismissed Iles and Simner with successive balls . His analysis so far was .} wickets for z runs . The sixth wicket fell at 18, all having fallen to Greeves, five clean bowled, and his figures now read 9 overs, . . maidens, 6 wickets, 7 runs . In the same over Barber was badly missed in the slips by Hingston . Three other catches were missed and Greeves seemed to lose his head and the score was taken to 30 when Nutt was run out . Then again there was a stand, till Hingston, going on at 5 z, in his second over got the last three wickets, all at 57. Following on, Pocklington fared as badly, five wickets being down for 18 . but time prevented us winning by an innings, the score at the finish being J9 for 7 wickets . This time Nelson took 6 wickets for zo, five being clean bowled. It was an almost exact reversal of the match at York, and we may be pardoned for repeating a remark overheard on the Pocklington ground . It was this, " I ' m glad they don ' t come here every day ."

Though at times I've rather grumbled, Mother Earth has not been kind, Unexpectedly I've tumbled Rather solidly behind. 3 To von ' ladder in the corner I was hanging by my toes, When the law of gravitation Drew me down upon my nose ; Fortified by fond ambition I tried the feat afresh, Burt descended with contrition To my bones and ribs and flesh. 4 When I had by perseverance Gratified my fondest hope, Made a fav'rable appearance Having climbed a risky roi,e, I had reached the dizzy summit, When that brutal Billy Brown In a manner quite demented Hindered me from coming down. It is wondrous what encouragement I get from Sergeant Wild, It seems that in a century Or less (to draw it mild) I could double up my person In inextricable wreaths And turn such charming somersaults With skill and graceful ease. 0
But I hear a generation Of fickle fading man Has but thirty years' probation, Which is far too short a span ; So I shall eschew gymnastics As I had the grief to find, That by certain living creatures I am sadly left behind .

7 The fact is, there ' s a creature, (I've seen it at the Zoo), It has a special feature Not given to me or you. If I could but secure it To win I shouldn't fail, I'd be a champion gymnast If I only had a tail .
