SCHOOL LETTER. Y the time this number appears in print, the Midsummer Term will have drawn almost to its close, and we shall be saying good-bye to many of those who have for a long time been the most prominent, both in School and out . It is a melancholy feature of this term that at the end of it there is almost always a clearance out of the old set ; and this year seems to be no exception to the rule . However, they leave their names and the remembrance of their many virtues behind them, '` pour encourager les mitres ."

The Cricket Season closed with a draw with the North Riding Asylum.

Except in the matter of School matches, in which we have been rather unsuccessful, the season has been a very successful one . It will probably be some time before another member of the School Eleven will be able to record an average of over so runs . Sullivan has made a couple of centuries again, and scores of ;o and upwards (amongst them an 8+ to Russell, and 6+ not out to Wheelwright). have been constantly registered, and the bowling average is again under ten . • The Sports took place on Monday and Tuesday.

July 26 and 27 . The Boat Race, which was postponed last term, took place on Saturday, my 17th . We congratulate the Old Boys on their victory, and sympathize with the members of the School Boat on their defeat after a plucky, if unequal race . The Library continues to be well-patronized in spite of the fine weather, which naturally takes people out of doors more . The School of course had a whole holiday on the jubilee Day, which was thoroughly

appreciated, and we are now hoping for an extension of the Summer holidays, which will be still more thoroughly appreciated by the boys at least, if not by their parents . Next term Football will be on us, and we trust that plenty of new players will come on to fill up the places of those who are leaving, to whom, iii conclusion, we wish as great success in the future as they have enjoyed in the past .

CRICKET. SCHOOL V . MASTERS.

This annual fixture was played on the School ground . on May 15th . The match always occasions some interest as in it candidates make their first appearance for the eleven.

The School won the toss and Sullivan was accompanied to the wickets by Yeld, and the two put on 89 runs before a separation was effected . Sullivan was bowled when he had made 44 by Mr . Lord ; having played in very good style, and with a good deal more strength than he showed last year . Wheelwright next partnered Yeld, and after hitting Mr . Lord for a three was clean bowled by Mr . Wilkes . Yeld continued to play well and carefully, but was left by Bingham after the latter had made four . Russell came in next and he and Yeld made another stand, until Russell had made zz when he was stumped by Teasdale off Mr . Yeld's bowling . The batting had been characteristically vigorous, and his runs were made very rapidly . After Kirke had made two not out, the innings was declared closed ; Yeld having contributed 6z not out to the total of r4S for four wickets, he had played extremely good cricket, and deserved his runs . The candidates were thus unable to show their prowess.

Mr . Lord and Mr . Wilkes opened the innings for the masters and hit Greeves and Yeld about until Mr . Wilkes was neatly caught at the wickets by Sullivan off Greeves . Mr . Robertson who went in next was run out when he had made three . Mr. Burrell succeeded him but was caught by Walker, again off Greeves, for four . The same bowler next got Mr. Lord's wicket by a good ball when he had just got his 5o, in his usual good

This match, the first of the Season, was played on May 15th.

As will be seen below, the scores were small . This was chiefly owing to the state of the wicket . The nights had been very frosty, and it was therefore unsafe to water the ground -a poor wicket was the result.

We batted first, and made a fairly good start, the fourth wicket falling at 311 . The rest of the team, mainly candidates, did little. and the innings closed for 56 . When the Asylum went in to bat, they, too, found it difficult to get runs . No lengthened stand was made, and the wickets fell at short and regular intervals.

DIilnthurpe and Best bowled well for the Asylum, the former taking 5 wickets for 1 1 runs, and the latter 4 for zo . For ourselves, Greeves took 6 wickets for 21 runs, Veld 2 for 18, and Walker NORTH RIDING ASYLUM.

Played at Ampleforth on May 20th . The day was line, and wicket hard and fast . Winning the toss Sullivan went in with Russell.

Off the last ball of the over the former scored a one, but after getting three more was taken low down in the slips, 5-1-4 . Wheelwright carne next, hut seemed rather at sea, and at 27 he was caught and bowled 27-2-8 ; Meanwhile Russell was playing with great confidence, but had a near shave on more than one occasion in the long field . Veld fell at 50 . 50-3-6 . With Bingham in, Russell managed to play out time till the adjournment . After Lunch, the collapse came, Bingham went at 1. then Russell, 55-5-32, Kirke at 6z . Walker however stopped the rot fur some time, but could get no runs . Eventually the innings closed for the miserable total of 81 . Doubtless, without Russell ' s innings we should have made a very poor show, an innings which included some very fine, though at times careless strokes.

Greeves started the attack, and off the first ball Sullivan caught Briggs at the wicket . This decision did not seem to suit the onlookers, who murmured their disapproval . Connor came in <utd helped by loose bowling on the part of CTreeves, raised the total to zo, and then was lbw to Walker, 20-2-17 . Magoris, Stourton, and Cooke, aided by shocking fielding, managed to top our total, and in the end the innings closed for 123, of which Cooke compiled iq not out . Owing to the applause and signs of disapproval some of the fielders on the approach of a catch utterly lost their heads. and catch after catch fell to the ground almost unhindered at all.

No less than live catches were dropped, and Kirke (z), Veld Wheelwright :1), Russell (t) were the culprits . The less said about it the better as it was a disappointing performance . Score : Sr . Pt~rEa ' s.

ST . PETER ' S V . GARFORTH C .C.

This match was played on the school ground on May 22nd, the weather being exceptionally favourable . Sullivan won the toss, and Russell and Veld commenced operations . The former sheaved vigorous tactics, and 36 were put on before Veld was bowled by \V . Reede for 15 . The next wicket saw no increase in the score as Wheelwright was unluckily run out in attempting a short run.

However, when the Captain came in a lengthy stand was made, both batsmen playing good cricket, and 141 runs were registered before Russell was caught in the long field by Hurst, having played a lively innings of 84 . He gave two palpable chances, one when he had made 41, and the other just before his dismissal, but except for these, and two or three rather dangerous strokes, it was an attractive and useful innings . Sullivan and Bingham Increased the score by 1o, when the former was run out through an attempt at a short run . With Kirke as his partner, Bingham continued to make runs, until with the score at 18o, Kirke was out for obstructing his wicket . When five more runs had been added, W . Reede removed Bingham ' s bails . Walker and Nelson increased the score by three, and then the School Captain declared the innings closed at 188 for six wickets.

Garforth began with \V . Tate and G . Reede to the bowling of Yeld and Walker . The batsmen treated the bowling with comparative indifference and compiled 51 runs for the 1st wicket . At this point, Suldbe, who had been put on instead of Veld, got Tate out lbw, but w ith the arrival of Rodgers the score was considerably augmented . At , 1z2 Wheelwright brought offasplendid catch atmidoff, which disposed of Rodgers, and 3 runs later Dixon was caught and bowled by Nelson . G . Reeds had so far been the principal

scorer, though he sho,:ld have been dismissed while his score was . . by a chance in the slips, and again at 52 . However, when he and the newcomer Pickering had compiled .}z ru g s, he was bowled by Yeld, with his score four short of the century . AVatmough was soon caught and bowled by Walker, and then stumps were drawn with the score 175 for j wickets . Doubtless the absence of Greeves handicapped the School ' s attack considerably.

Scttoot . z' . LEEDS GRAMMAR SCHOOL. This match was played on the Leeds ground on the and of June . Sullivan won the toss, and going in with Veld, made a moderate start for the first wicket, 19 runs being scored before Veld was caught at the wicket by Francis for 9 . After a run had been scored Sullivan was bowled by Heald, and four runs later Wheelwright was also caught at the wicket, without having scored.

Bingham was dismissed first ball, and Russell was out to a catch

by Francis, making the third batsman who had lost his wicket in this manner . (2+-5-+ .) After Greeves had made a run, he lost his partner Harrison, who was run out in attempting a short run.

Walker gave no trouble, and when Greeves and Nelson appeared to he making a few runs, the former was run out . Nelson added 12 more rums before the innings closed for +q, and was 18 not out at the end . He must be congratulated upon his plucky innings at such a critical juncture.

Leeds started well, R . Longley and Francis making 30 runs before they were separated by Creer, who had been put on in place of Greeves, Bingham effecting a catch at point . No one else seemed able to cope with Career ' s bowling and the innings closed for 50, or seven ahead of our total . Creer had the remarkable analysis of six wickets for 11 runs, which is the best thing that has been done this season by the school bowlers . The school fared somewhat better in their second attempt, and compiled 92, both Russell, Bingham, Sullivan, Wheelwright and Greeves reaching double figures, the last named hitting vigorously for 18 not out . The first three Leeds batsmen gave some trouble, +8 being registered before the third wicket fell . Francis was again top scorer with 24 . J . Longley and Proctor were then run out, with but three runs added, and nine wickets were down for 68.

However, we were not allowed to finish the match, which would have assuredly been won by us, its stumps were then drawn, leaving the game decided on the first innings . Veld took four wickets for 15 runs .

ST . PETER ' S v . BRADFORD TOWN. Played at home on Saturday, dune 5th . A splendid pitch had been prepared for this match, which fully satisfied all expectations.

Bradford won the toss and Robinson and Wass went to the wickets, to face the deliveries of Greeves and Soulby . They soon settled down, and the former had scored 26 out of 4.1, when he was bowled

by Creer, who had taken the place of Greeves . The same bowler, 16 runs later also got rid of C . Batchelor, the new-corner, by the agency of Sullivan . the latter effecting a very fine catch some distance from the wicket, and after the addition of 10 runs, Wass, the compiler of a slow but pretty innings of 19, was smartly caught

at point by Bingham . Scott made to, though he was missed one run before, and his dismissal took the form of a good catch by ('reer near the boundary, off Soulby's bowling. The last mentioned, who had resumed his task at the School end, now did remarkable well, getting rid of G . F . Braithwaite, who made t 3, S . T .ongbottont, J . Batchelor . who was finely caught by Wheelwright at mid-oft, and G hones in four Overs, all of which were maidens.

J . Priestman hit Greeves ov er the Wall for four, and despatched Soulbv to the boundary for three . but H . McGee was bowled by Greeves . and Kerry well stumped be Sullivan . and the innings closed for 97 . Soulbv had the fine analysis of six wickets for 18 runs.

Russell and Veld commenced operations for the School, but the start was disastrous, as with the total at 4, Veld was bowled by a fine ball from J . Batchelor ; however, upon the arrival of Wheelwright, matters begun to look lively . Boundaries came in quick succession, and though Russell was missed when he had made 25, the hundred went up for no further loss than that of Veld's wicket, and nine bowling changes were tried, but of no avail, as both batsmen completed their half-centuries, and played attractive cricket till the score was 131, when Russell, in attempting to hit a lob of Robinson ' s, was out to an easy catch at the wicket. having played well and vigorously for 61 . Sullivan made a single, and Wheelwright increased his score by S runs, when stumps were drawn with the score 14o for two wickets, Wheelwright being not out, 64 . Score and Analysis BRADFORD

This match, played on the School ground on Tuesday, the i 5th of June, was a complete reversal of the match at Ampleforth, and resulted in an easy win for St . Peter ' s . Sullivan won the toss and elected to bat, going in first with Russell . Runs came rapidly, 13 being scored off the first two ovcrs, although after the first over both batsmen treated Mawson, who throughout the innings howled well, with great caution Russell gave an unaccepted chance when he had made 24., but except for this his batting was faultless : At 64, however, he was caught by Mawson in the slips off the bowling of ,Alagoris, who had gone on in place of G . Farrell . He had made 4.2 of the 64 runs scored during his stay, and except for the escape mentioned, his innings was a well-played one, and of great service.

Wheelwright., the new-coiner, did not waste much time in settling down, and a prolific partnership ensued between him and the captain, who up to this point had played careful cricket . Seven bowlers were tried but to no avail, as the batsmen continued to hit merrily, and the score mounted to 172 at a fast pace until Wheelwright was well caught by Connor . running from cover point.

There was but one chance in his innings, namely, when he had compiled 4 7, but apart from this, he had hit brilliantly, especially on the leg side . 'Veld then arrived, and hit a three to the boundary his second ball, but was then missed at the wicket.

The luncheon interval now came, and the score sheaved 18o for two wickets, of which the captain had compiled a meritorious 72, without giving a chance, and was deservedly applauded on his return from his innings . After luncheon, Sullivan decided to effect a closure, and accordingly Ampleforth went to the wickets, in the form of Connor and Cooke, the former of whom was missed before he had scored . They played a cautious game, and raised the total to 4.3 before they were parted, Cooke being compelled to retire by a good ball from Veld . lie had received two lives in his score of 17, one at i o, and one at i The next wicket added t 6, and then Greeves disturbed Farrell ' s stumps . Stourton gave no trouble, as he scored a single, and then his stumps also were wrecked by the

same bowler . Maynard was vyell caught by Russel! off his first hall, and 6 runs later the captain, Connor, whose innings of 27 was most useful to his side, was finely caught by Soulby . Mawson hit three threes and was then bowled by Greeves, with the score at 76.

The next wicket took some separating, but after r 1 runs had been made, Pecoul was caught by Kirke The next wicket fell two runs later . Time was now drawing near and two wickets to fall.

Played on the School ground, on Thursday, June 17th . Almondbury started disastrously on a bowler's wicket, Harrison neatly catching Southall in the slips before a run had been scored . A line piece of fielding on Harrison's part accounted for Heron's dismissal . Bairstow was the only one to make a stand, scoring 26 by hard hitting before being bowled by Soulby . Yeld accounted for four of the last men for 6 runs . The score only realised 50.

ST PETER ' S SCHOOL 7' . HYMER ' S COLLEGE, HULL. This return match was played at I-Iull on July 3rd . The morning was cold and very windy . The wicket was very dry and bumpy especially at our end . At that end it seemed very difficult to keep the balls down and many a batsman got hit on the hands.

Had all the catches given in the slips at that end been taken it is safe to say the scores on both sides would have been halved at least . St . Peter's won the toss and elected to bat ; but it was one long series of disaster till lunch time when six wickets were down for 30 . trashy- and Barton were the bowlers ; Grasby was keeping a very good length and aided by the cross wind and the bumpy wicket he required much watching . In his first over the second ball produced a bye, the third howled Russell ' s middle stump (1-1-o) . and the fourth got Wheelwright caught at long leg 1-z-o) . Barton ' s first over produced one run, then followed a maiden from trashy ; and in Barton ' , next Feld got him away- to leg for 4 and ; . But trashy's next over settled Veld, caught off his glove . He was the first of several victims of the bumpy wicket (11-3-8) . Harrison faced the bowing well, but after four overs he was clean howled by Barton ,22-4-6) . Nelson was soon caught at the wicket off his glove (25-5-2) ; and though there were hut few minutes left, another wicket fell feebly before lunch, leaving the score in the following unpleasant state, 30-6- :, Sullivan being not out 5, all singles, the result of 45 minutes play . After lunch Walker accompanied Sullivan to the wickets and it soon became apparent that the school were not out yet . Walker, although pla iug steadily . Jet did not fail to punish the loose balls, especially on the leg side . He soon got a couple of leg boundaries ; and Sullivan did the same, all off ( ;ras p y . When the score was about ;o, Walker and Sullivan both had a life in the slips . Then began the changes in the bowling and higher and higher the score rose . The bowlers pitched the halls very short else more runs would have come . At last, with the score at i fo, Sullivan was caught oil his glove, this being the tenth time he had been hit on the hand ( to-7-48 . His had been an invaluable innings ; for he played with judgment and coolness when wickets

were falling fast, and when it was very hard to keep the balls low.

As so often happens after a long stand, Walker went at the same total, out through an unfortunate piece of misunderstanding (11u-8-30 . It is impossible to overrate the value of his innings to the side, and although he had three lives in the slips, yet his careful and steady play under difficult circumstances fully entitled him to his colours which Sullivan gave him on returning to the pavilion . The end soon came, as Greeves' hitting did not long avail him, and Soulby was caught after getting a nasty knock on the knee . The final score was 127, a very much bigger one than had seemed within our hopes at the interval.

The Homer's innings should have been of short duration, for in Grecvcs ' first over, before he had scored, Tomlinson was badly missed by Veld at short slip . However . the first wicket fell at nine ,9-1-z) . Then followed a long and stubborn stand by Tomlinson and Greenwood, neither of whom gave a chance.

They kept together for nearly an hour in spite of change after change of bowling amongst Greeves, Veld, Creer, Soulby . At last . alter two appeals in one over . Tomlinson was caught at the wicket . Ile had played well and the fielding side had plenty of time to regret thr mistake which let him off before he had scored. yY .}-2-24) .

T'i next wicket fell at the same total, and after that there was no long stand and the whole side were out for So, leaving S . Peter's victors by 47 after a most exciting match.

Veld and Creer had the best analyses . The fielding was not perfect, Russell and Bingham being at fault ; but Nelson and Harrison did some very smart pieces of fielding . Appended is the score : ST .

PETER' S SChooL %' . OLD BOYS.

The usual two days' match—School v . Old Boys—was played on Tuesday and Wednesday . The game begun each day about 12-15 . There had been some rain during Monday night and early on Tuesday morning, which affected the wicket at the start, but the rest of Tuesday was very fine, and Wednesday, though not so bright, was not an unpleasant day . The School batted first and found scoring difficult, for the wicket assisted the bowlers and enabled Mosley to get a good deal of work on the ball . Yeld was the only one who made a stand of any length, his 58, under the circumstances, being a valuable contribution . The innings closed for 137 . Mosley and Jones were the most successful bowlers, the former taking five wickets for 52, and the latter tour for 40.

P . E . Lord and B . Hudson made a good start for the Old Boys, the former being first to leave at 4 . Jones played well for 20, and Shepherd and Humphreys quickly made 17 each, but no one else stayed long except Henson, who was the " stone-wall " of the side, and, assisted by E . F . Nevile, took the score from 1 1 9q to 146 for the last wicket . The successful bowlers were Creer (5 for 3 .}), Greeves (z for 4.3(,, Soulby (2 for 39), and Walker (1 for 3).

In their second innings the School, on a much improved wicket, gave a better display, Sullivan, Wheelwright, Bingham, Russell, Walker, and Harrison playing very well for their respective scores.

Jones ( . for 61) and Mosley (3 for 82) again proved the mainstay of their side in the bowling department, but Lord (3 for 15) had the best average . The Old Boys—in their second venture—were very unfortunate in having Hudson and Mosley run out, and when Lord was well caught by Soulby at 70, their hopes of winning dropped . Jones, Eastwood, and Henson, however, made a plucky attempt to stave off defeat, but were unsuccessful . Veld

-I-37

took three wickets in three balls, while Sullivan clean bowled the last man . The score only reached 133, and the School therefore won by 76 runs . G . V . Birks and E . F . Nevile were absent on Wednesday, owing to the death of a brother, and their places were taken by J . F . Leaf and C . A . Coning.

Here a curious thing happened . Leaf played vigorously at a ball, and by the fall of his straw hat disturbed his bails . Thus Yeld performed a typical hat-trick.

A large gathering of friends watched the match on the first day, and were entertained by Mrs . Hand ford with her customary hospitality.

Y .—Far too eager to score hits across at nearly everything ; would make a wicket keeper if he would stick to it ; can bowl ; has proved himself an energetic and keen captain.

P . S . KIRKE .—A very pretty straight hat, but will not stand up to fast bowling ; smart ground field, but poor catch ; came on with the ball towards end of the season. .—Good bat, especially on the leg side ; right arm .

Smrrtr C. S medium bowler ; poor field.

C . NELSON .—Promising all round man and has helped to a large extent the success of the team.

P . S . KING .—Useful with both bat and ball, has good swinging action ; capital field. \\- . M . NEwToN .—Good . but rather unlucky bat ; hits hard, but rather across.

J . Kixnv .—Hard hitter ; useful in the field and as a change bowler .

THE BOAT RACE. Last Term, owing to the illness of Veld and Tomlinson, the Old Boys' race had to be abandoned ; and it was decided to postpone the event till the present term . Training operations began in the last week of June . Tomlinson, Thompson, Teasdale, and ;rloiser being chosen to represent the School . The great difficulty, which since the acquisition of the light ships has proved almost insurmountable, of sitting the boat and keeping her steady, was this year overcome much earlier than usual . The crew were therefore able to devote their energies to acquiring speed, length of stroke, and form . They were very light ; but were keen and ready to learn and came on wonderfully in the short period of training available, and though their stroke was never quite long enough, and their beginning had not so much dash as could have been desired, they had by the date of the race developed into a neat crew, and could travel at a quite respectable rate.

The race took place on Saturday, July 17th, at half-past three.

The weather was on the whole favourable . It was, it is true, a hot close afternoon ; but there was no scorching sun, and above all no wind, no small advantage to a light crew . However, Tomlinson won the toss, and therefore had the best of the sides . The Schoolboys made rather a poor start ; whereas Garwood's crew got oil very well and went away at a great rate, rowing a very fast stroke. llaylight was soon visible between the boats, and at the Iugs ' ditch the Old Boys were far enough in front to take their opponents ' water ; and steadily increased their lead to the Scope.

By this time it was evident that the race was practically decided .

44'1

THE HOAT RACE.

The Old Bob s were several lengths to the good, and though Garwood diminished his rate of striking, continued to increase their advantage Meanwhile the School-boys struggled on behind, spurted at the Scope, at the White Rose boat-house, and again below Scarborough bridge, but in vain : and the winning boat finished just after the School boat passed Marygate . Thus, as in 1895, the race was a procession.

Nevertheless the performance of the School boat was quite creditable . They stuck to their work gamely, kept a fair length. preserved their form up to the end, and never went to pieces . In fact as regards form, they were distinctly above the average . But they had the misfortune to be pitted against a very strong crew, and were hopelessly overmatched in age, weight, and experience.

Our best thanks are due to C . B . Cotterell (O .P .) for his valuable aid in Coaching the boat, and to Dr . Long for kindly acting as starter and judge The following were the weights of the crews :-OLD Boys .

COMMEMORATION DAY. THE SERVICE. The service this year began at 10 o'clock, and was attended by a large number of friends . The church was beautifully decorated, the work (ill which Mrs . [landlord was assisted by Mrs . Veld, Mrs . Robertson, Miss Leaf. Miss Scargill, Miss Quinton, Miss Sullivan, Miss M . Yeld, and Mr . Yeld) having occupied the whole of the preceding day . Dr . Hingston again kindly lent plants.

The Preacher was the Rev . S . H . Bennett, an O .P ., Vicar of St . Mary's Bishophill, who took for his text, " Render therefore unto Ctesar the things which are Caesar's, and unto God the things that are God ' s. " ( .S't . 171a/I. xxii ., v . 21 .) In applying the

GINNER OF 01,n PfitER11ES 1\ I,ONI)O\ .

-4%

text the Preacher said there were unsafe occasions in a boy ' s school life when he must decide between (sod and the world, and therefore many opportunities of rendering unto God the things that are God ' s.

After the sermon the Headmaster dedicated to the service of God a new stained-glass vyiudow, which has been given by Henri Cowling-, Esq O .P . The window bears the following inscription :

Then followed a Celebration of the Hole Communion, at which the Headmaster was assisted by the i'cv . C . Robertson . the Rev. S . H . Bennett, and the Rev . W . U . E . Campbell . A large number partook of the Sacrament.

THE LUNCHEON. Mr . and Mrs . Handford gave their usual luncheon, the guests including the Dean, Lady Emma Pure_y-Cu,t, the Bishop of Beverley, and the Rev . Canon Watson . v%ho succeeded the late Canon Rain ..
