SCHOOL LETTER. F last term's doings there only remain for comment the Athletic Sports, and the Prizegiving . The weather was fine and on the whole most of the events were up to the average, though we should like to see more entries for the junior events. most of which were not as good as in past years : only one competitor entered for the junior hurdle race and in consequence the race had to be given up . Nevile carried off the most events securing four 'firsts ." Several good finishes were witnessed especially in the quarter mile, half mile, and handicap hundred, the final heat of which had to be run twice, as the first resulted in a dead heat . We must not forget to congratulate Fausset on winning the mile for which he has struggled gamely so many years . The Prizegiving, as it always does, passed off most successfully. A word about the past cricket season would perhaps not be out of place : it has been on the whole a successful one, the batting power was perhaps above the average, though on one or two occasions, sad to relate, it did not `come off . ' Sullivan and Wheelwright were most conspicuous, the former amassing two centuries during the season which ended satisfactorily with a second victory over Homer's College on our ground when three members of the team made over 4o, namely, Wheelwright, Veld and Watson . A word of praise is also due to Greeves for his creditable performance with the ball . And now for this term ' s prospects . Football of course is the chief topic . Of last year' s team we shall have eight left (not nine as we thought, as Watson

the Secretary, one of the best forwards is not coming back this term), five of these are forwards and these with the four who fill the vacant places should form a strong and formidable set . In the back division we have two of last year ' s threequarters, and one half', thus leaving a full-hack, a threequarters, and one half to fill up the team, these though they may require time and judgment to settle, should in the end be successfully filled. Later on this term too are the Theatricals, but as the play is not yet selected it is rather early for remarks on this subject.
CRICKET. ST . PETER 'S v . RYBURN VALLEY. Played as before on the school ground on Saturday, July 4th. The visitors won the toss and elected to bat first on a soft wicket, Ambler and Hattersley facing the deliveries of Greeves and Yeld. From the first ball Ambler was taken by Nevile off Greeves, while at 1s, Avison was dismissed by Yeld off the same bowler . Runs then came freely and Hingston displaced Yeld . The change worked and Hattersley and R . Wheelwright fell his victims . 4-46. However when E . L . Wheelwright and Osborn became partners the aspect of the game was changed and they were not separated until they had raised the total to tot . D . G . Wheelwright then helped his brother to put on So more, when the innings was declared closed at 162 for 6 wickets, leaving the school a little more than an hour to bat Yeld and Hingston commenced the innings but at i6 both they and Joicey \here dismissed. Wheelwright and Sullivan however managed to raise the score to 68 and the innings closed owing to time for . for 5 wickets, Wheelwright being not out for a capital 42. RYSFRN. T. Ambler, c .

ST . PETER' S V . NORTH RIDING ASYLUM.
The return match was played at the Asylum on Tuesday, July 7th, in dull weather . Winning the toss our opponents put us in. Yeld and Nevile started for the school facing the bowling of Parry and Stenning . Play was at first slow but Yeld soon got to work and the pair raised the score rapidly to 28, when Nevile fell to Parry . Joicey followed and with five more added, Yeld shared the same fate as Nevile . Joicey and Sullivan with the help of Hingston managed to raise the score to 5o, and the innings closed for the miserable total of 58, no one else showing any resistance . The Asylum started well with Kershaw and Milnthorpe and with four wickets down passed our total . Subsequently owing to bad fielding on the part of the school they raised the score to 140. Of our bowlers Hingston alone proved successful, capturing five wickets for 28. ST . PETER' S. N . R . ASYLUM. R . M . Nevile, b . Parry 13 H . Kershaw, c . Joicey h . Hingston 16 In G . G .

CRICKET. ST . PETER ' S V . HYMER ' S COLLEGE, HULL.
Played on the School ground on Saturday, July 1rth . This was the first time to meet them on our own ground and so great interest was taken in the match . We won the toss and batted first, Nevile and Sullivan making the first attempt . Sullivan soon lost Nevile but joined by Veld the score was quickly raised to 84, when Sullivan succumbed to a full pitch . Veld and Joicey continued to put on the runs . Finding the bowling to their liking several of the school team managed to raise their averages. Wheelwright, Yeld, and Watson in particular . Eventually we declared for the creditable total of 265 for 8 wickets . The visitors, owing to our misfielding, started well, but against the bowling of Nelson and Greeves only realized 8z . Rudd . Brittain, and Wilson alone making any resistance whatever. HYMr.R ' s COLLEGE. ST . PETER' S. 4 W . H . Rudd, b . Nelson 15 R . M . Nevile, b. Askew A . M . Sullivan, b. Barton 39 R . Brittain, c .

'The HEAD MASTER said that he should like to point out that the had mentioned altogether eleven names . Several of them occurred more than once, but eight out of the eleven joined the school in the first form . He called attention to the fact because he had reason to know that an impression prevailed to a certain extent— how produced he had an idea—that boys should not join the school until they were old enough or advanced enough to join the second or third, or even the fourth or fifth forms . He would

say nothing more beyond mentioning the above fact . He called attention to the list of schools, recently published in a London daily paper, giving a list of the schools gaining exhibitions and scholarships . He did not approve of the publishing of the lists, because it was liable to give a false impression of the work and only apply one test . However, they had no reason to complain of the position they occupied in that list . Having mentioned that some of their more valuable scholarships were now made open ones he said that the health of the school had been for some time past of the most satisfactory nature . He alluded in feeling terms to the death of the Rev. Canon Raine, whose place on the governing body it would be most difficult to fill. The Rev . F . W . SPURLING, one of the examiners appointed by the Oxford and Cambridge Schools Examination Board, gave a report of his examination . He was happy to say that both in regard of individual boys and the character of the work done he could very heartily say that there had been a good amount of progress made during the past year. The Rev . G . EDMUNDSON, one of the examiners for Foundation, Free, Hey Memorial and Modern Scholarships, reported that this year the work was fully up to the level of former occasions. The reports of the other examiners were of an equally gratifying character. "The DEAN, before calling on Canon Temple to distribute the prizes, said that it was impossible to exaggerate the services to St . Peter's School of the Rev . Chancellor Raine . But for him, humanly speaking, St . Peter ' s would have been ruthlessly overwhelmed under the new scheme of the Charity Commissioners. The Rev . Canon TEMPLE spoke of the fact that when he was at school no prizes were given because they were likely to cause jealousy . His belief was that the principle of prizes worked yvell. As a schoolmaster lie was never able to trace that jealousy . He proceeded to defend clerical headmasters against the charge that they had no ambition to rise in their profession, but only sought preferment in the Church . He then distributed the prizes according to the following list :—

THE OLI) PETERITE CRICKET 'POUR. Six matches were played tins season as against our of last year, the additional games being Dr . Kershaw's XI . at the Asylum and Malton . Thus there were three one-day and three two-days matches . The results chew three wins, one draw and two defeats. Beginning with form that was too had to be true, we finished in magnificent st) le . We made a sad exhibition against York, being had all round—did better at the Asylum, and fairly well under adverse circumstances " at Malton—played up the first day against the Gentlemen, failing on the second—but when we got into Derbyshire there was no holding us . To beat the Friars by nine wickets and Burton by eight, was a great performance—the second half of it the more meritorious possibly . At no time was the scoring high, lyre' s 59 in the first innings at Derby being the highest ; Rhodes, Lord, and Wheelwright also got over 50 at different times. Crawshaw and Sullivan too, could generally be relied on for runs. Bingham never seemed to get fairly set, and Whittam was unlucky with two ` run outs ' and one lbw .' Whincup was only ` outed once in three innings—a pity he did not play the whole tour. In bowling the main work fell on Rhodes, who took 36 wickets for 1 5 each . Cater only played in the two-days matches . No more

useful pair could be desired, the only time they were really collared was in the Gentlemen ' s second innings when the ball was soaked. At Burton, they bowled finely, taking to wickets each and howling all the time with the exception of two overs from Bingham . The last-named was a very useful change, in fact with another change or two the bowling strength would be complete . The fielding every now and then collapsed—notably against Yolk, catching and ground fielding being equally bad . At the Asylum and i\Ialton it was not great, but after that it improved, and was good at the end. The two most wonderful catches were Carter ' s c and b of Dent, and Bingham's dismissal of Evershed at mid-off. Eleven other catches were made by Carter, eight of them at short slip, and next to him came Eyre who made eight including two or three really well judged efforts in the long field . These two missed nothing ; it is doubtful whether any others could say the same . The wicketkeeping was shared by Crawshaw and Sullivan . With one or two more reliable bats, another bowler or so, and a genuine wicketkeepe r , the results would he even better . At any rate the tour is now an established fact . It is a pity that some of the older members of the Club cannot manage to assist . Appended are the leading averages, and detailed accounts of the matches. BA TING AVERAGES.

One wicket fell at 17 and after that the fielding went to pieces—many catches were missed and the ground fielding was most unclean . Rhodes kept up his end pretty well, but the rest of the bowling was not very dangerous. Going in again with an invested order we did a little better in a had light .

XI . August 7. Played at the Asylum on a good wicket . We lost the toss, but began well as Pride was well caught at cover-slip from the third ball sent up . Ford and Milnthorpe aided by luck hit up 32, and brought on Bingham, off whom l\Iilnthorpe was caught in the long field . In his second over Lansdonne was neatly taken at the wicket . Rhodes then bowled Kershaw and four were down for 5 5. Waterhouse then stopped with Ford and several changer of bowling were tried . At last Rhodes bowled Ford after going all round his wicket . 9+-5-58 . Two more wickets went at the same total and another at 97 . Waterhouse played a good not out innings . We made a fair start with 37 for one wicket ; Bingham and Sullivan put on 34 and then were both out . However Rhodes and \Vhittam soon settled matters, scoring at a great pace. \Vhittam was unluckily run out at 127 and Eyre clean bowled. Rhodes was leg before at 143 for a hard-hit innings and then rain stopped play for nearly an hour . On resuming, Wheelwright scored fast but after he was out the end soon came .

The Gentlemen, who had a strong side won the toss —we were strengthened by W . M . Carter . Milligan soon began to hit and at the fall of the second wicket had made 39 Out of 56 . The next wicket put on 47 though many of Walker ' s strokes were fluky. However, at lunch, five were out for 1 14. On starting again runs came freely and the total had reached 183 before Firth was very well stumped . Lawson-Smith was soon after caught at slip from a bumping ball . Our catching and fielding was much better in this innings than it had been . A good start was made, our first wicket falling at 53 . With his score at eight Lord hit one of Milligan's into cover point and was let down, and soon after from the same end Sullivan was given ` in' to a palpable catch at the wicket . Bingham was well caught and bowled at 66 and soon after Rhodes ' arr ival Lord was clean bowled . 89-4-48 . Crawshaw stopped while Rhodes scored freely and the wicket put on 26. At 151 Rhodes was bowled for a good 43 . The last wickets all got into double figures, the innings finishing on the second morning. After two maidens Milligan and Dent scored very fast and it was not until 72 that the former was out to a well judged catch in the long field . Two showers of rain after this thoroughly soaked the ball and run getting was easy . Dent was out to a magnificent catch . After lunch runs came faster than ever, so much so that Lawson-Smith closed the innings at 3-30. Lord was finely caught left-hand at 12, Sullivan bowled at 29 and Bingham at 44 . Six were clown for 72 when Crawshaw and Eyre made a great effort to save the game . For about an hour they remained together but at 124 Crawshaw was caught behind the wicket .

FIFTH MATCH .-V . THE DERBYSHIRE FRIARS.
Getting into Derby soon after to o ' clock overnight, we were up and on the County ground in good time and began about 12-20. We won the toss and lent the Friars two fielders . The order of going in was altered with successful results, as after a maiden 49 were hit off the next eight overs before Lord was out to a catch by Carter at square-leg off Exham ' s lobs . Bingham was bowled off his pads, and at 94 Rhodes was out, after hitting a 6 . Eyre was next to go for a well played 59, made in about an hour and a half. Just before lunch Sullivan was out to a one-handed catch at fine leg, making five wickets for 1+7 . Two more wickets fell for f o runs after lunch, and then Crawshaw and Wheelwright made a long stand, both playing good cricket, and putting on 6z before Crawshaw was bowled . Wheelwright stopped till another 32 were added, and was then stumped off the lobs, after an excellent innings. On the Friars going in Barrington was promptly caught at short slip, and at i8 Estridge was out to a one-handed catch at mid-on. Exham hit z fours and a two, and was finely held in the long field. Tomlinson and Schwind ran the score up to 89, when both were out, I3inghanm having gone on in place of Rhodes . Peach was soon out, but !he next wicket put on 33, the score at time being 125 for 7 wickets. Next morning the side was completed by the addition of Curgenven and Salt, but Rhodes and Carter soon finished off the innings . Following on, Barrington was once more caught at slip, making three times out in the same way in three innings . Salt fell next over, but Curgenven and Tomlinson stopped together . The former was especially lucky, putting up Carter ' s bowling on the offside frequently, but the ball never quite came to hand, though Wheelwright once almost caught him left-hand . Tomlinson also had luck ; amongst other things, Rhodes hit his off stump without removing the bail . At 88 Carter bowled Curgenven, and soon after Tomlinson tripped and fell, putting his knee out, the result of an old football accident . Schwind came in and runs were being scored fast at lunch time . After being photographed, we got Exham out, caught behind the wicket . Estridge stayed whilst 30

were put on, but was bowled at 188 ; eighteen later Schwind put up a ball to mid-on, and retired for a hard hit 64 . Rain then stopped play for a little, but only 8 more runs were added. Having 109 to get, we went in again with just undur two hours to play, but a prospect of rain necessitated forcing the game. Thirty-five were scored in to minutes and 70 off the first ten overs, but at twenty minutes past five, after three quarters of an hour, rain came down hard, the score standing at 88 . Luckily, about six the rain stopped, and we were able to win, though Barrington had offered to go out and finish in the rain . At too Lord was yorked, but the runs were hit off without further loss . Only 112 balls were required to make the 109 runs, both hitting and running being rapid . The wicket was beautifully true and fast all through, and much credit is due to our bowlers for getting so good a batting side out twice over . It will be noted that Eyre scored 109 for once out .

SIXTH MATCH .—V . BURTON, AUG . 14, 15.
We found the Burton ground in a much better state than last year . They had what they called ` a pretty warm side,' though Herbert Evershed was away . We started as usual with a neat catch by Carter, at short slip off Rhodes . At 28, Rhodes caught and bowled Tomlinson (brother to the damaged Friar), and at 33, Eyre made a fine catch from a hard off drive of Robinson, the Cambridge Blue . Without any addition, Curgenven was easily held at point . and Richardson out first ball . Goodhall and Evershed hit about a little, but the latter was out to a terribly hot catch, at mid-off, Bingham taking the ball as it rebounded off his chest. Goodall was out to a skier, and Gould bowled at 6o Eadie also put up a skier in the slips . The last wicket added 19, and Rhodes and Carter divided the wickets with almost identical analyses . We had about 25 minutes batting before lunch, and lost Eyre from a leg-stump yorker . After lunch things went well, though Robinson and Gould both bowled well . The score was up to So, and a double change of bowling had been made before Lord was caught and bowled low down for a well-hit 46, including one hit out of the ground . Bingham soon followed for a steady 18 . Sullivan and Rhodes then put on 58, the latter was let down in the long field from his first hit, but afterwards gave no chance but put plenty of power into his strokes . The original bowlers returned at opposite ends and the game was stopped owing to Rhodes getting a nasty blow from Gould . On resuming, Sullivan was out for a neat 20, and Rhodes at 158 was clean bowled, seeming to
O 34 6
.P . TOUR.
still feel the effects of the blow . He had made 53 by 2 sixes, 6 fours, 3 threes, 3 twos, and only z singles . After this, wickets vent down with a rush, leaving nearly an hour and a half for play. This time Evershed and Curgenven began and scored pretty fast, till Carter bowled the former with a fast ball at z8 . Robinson was beautifully caught at short slip, and Richardson again went first ball . Next Carter bowled Curgenven, and then Salt and Tomlinson doubled the score, bringing on Bingham for Carter . However, Rhodes effected the separation by means of another difficult slip catch . Goodall came in and hit to off the rest of the over. The umpires were persuaded to allow Rhodes another over, and with the third ball he clean bowled Salt, making six down for qz . Next morning the remaining four wickets added 31, and we were put in to make z8 . One wicket fell for 3, and two for 13, and then by some sharp running the required total was reached.

FOOTBALL PROSPECTS. We start this Season minus seven of last year's team, viz :— Metcalfe, Watson, Nevile, Ford, Fausset, Moiser i ., and Moiser ii. We want, therefore, a back, a back, a back, and four forwards. It would seem at first sight then that the team must be inferior to last year . But on looking round the chief difficulty appears to be in arranging the back section ; for with the exception of Watson we have the pick of the forwards still left, and for the vacancies in the scrum we have two candidates who appeared more than once last year, viz : Greeves and Russell ; so that the chief anxiety of our captain will be with regard to the arrangement of the team behind the:scrum . As Walton is able to play again the difficulty is decreased as far as the number of places to be filled up is concerned . Sullivan and joicev have had a season ' s experience in working together, and this factor ought to have great weight in arranging the three-quarter line . At present there seems to be a very decided weakness in tackling behind the scrum, and taking this into consideration it may well be considered whether it is not advisable to have four three-quarters . This could easily be done by taking some one from the scrum, especially as most teams we meet play only eight forwards, and we should still have a strong nucleus left to give a good account of themselves in the pack. Coning is well worth a trial at full back . At any rate it is very necessary that the new hands should be played regularly in the places they are thought likely eventually to fill . One feature of last years' pick-ups calls for a radical change ; it is that an effort should

be made to get sides in which a greater interest can be taken as to the result of the games . This could be done by getting repesentative sides, however fanciful may be their titles . This would avoid much of the slackness that so often shows itself in practice games when hardly anyone cares which side wins . If only the keenness, of which there is no lack, can be sustained right through the season, there is bound to be much improvement, not only in the interest of the games themselves, but especially in the class of the team we hope to turn out . Punctuality in starting is still conspicuous by its absence ; it does not tend to arouse enthusiasm in new players to find themselves kept waiting ever so long after the time advertised for the games to begin . Let the interest of the team stand first and that of the individual second, and then we may look forward to an even more successful season than last .
CORRESPONDENCE. DEAR SIRS,
I should like to call your attention to a state of affairs which I think ought to be remedied ; I allude to the " sloping" of the juniors from the pickups . How will the football 1V. keep up its old renown if the younger members of the School systematically keep away from " the " school game, either on the plea of not being allowed to play, or of having a dancing or fencing lesson? If the captain or the secretary was to keep a list of fellows in the School the could find out, either, if they are not allowed to play what their imaginary ailments are, or, if they are allowed to play why they don ' t play . In this way there could be decent Junior pickups, and as a result of a good number up, the games would not be such farces as they are at present . Hoping to see this rectified . I am, Sirs, AN INTERESTED SPECTATOR.
