SCHOOL LETTER. HEN we got back, the general conditions looked as little like cricket as possible, as, owing tet heavy rains, the groundsman had hardly got the ground under control, and it has systematically rained on every possible occasion since . However, by conyulsiye efforts, the ground has been ruade to look very well, the turf apparently being in good condition . The first match was against the North Riding Asylum, and resulted in a win for the Asylum by z runs . Considering the absence of Nelson, and the vaunted superiority of the Asylum bowling, the score of 8+ which the School compiled is not at all despicable. Of last year's first NI . four remain, viz ., Nelson, Soulby . Bingham, and Creer ; of these, two at least ate bowlers, and from the other two a wicket keeper will be forthcoming we should imagine. Seven places are left to be filled up, but there is plenty of good material left from last year's znd XI ., and we have heard rumours of other new corners . There seems to be plenty of bowling talent, but it is early yet to make any comment, and by the time this comes out the season will probably be at its height, and anything which we may have correctly prophesied, will be put down as having been written after the event ; it is safer therefore to keep our forecasts within bounds .
