SCHOOL LETTER. HE Summer term, which always brings a touch of sadness in its wake for those that are leaving, this year has brought with it cause for regret to the whole School ; for, after a seven years' residence at the School, Mr . Lord has left us to take Holy Orders . Both in School and out, he had won and affection of everyone, and we felt that he was a the respect part of the School itself. In the football and cricket he used to take an active part, and the last output of his energy was the series of School Concerts which enlivened the Easter Term. Mr . Lord ' s refusal to accept our testimonial prevented us from giving any substantial token of the esteem in which he was universally held. The Cricket Season has been very fairly successful . Our worst opponent at the beginning of the term was the rain, which stopped four matches . For the first time the Ryburn Valley match was finished and resulted in a good win for the School . There were some good individual scores, both B . Nelson and Bingham making centuries, the one against Garforth, the other against Durham School . The Second XI . won three matches and lost four ; one resulted in a tie . Of the Sports and the Prize-giving more hereafter .

Commemoration Day passed off as successfully as usual, and the cricket match, though somewhat spoilt by the weather was still very interesting, the School, however, being well beaten. We hope that Bingham will have a more successful football team this year ; age and experience should make a big difference to his men, and as B . Nelson is, we hear, staying on a term, the back division should have some good stuff in it.

Played at York on Saturday, June 11th . Nelson won the toss and sent in Bingham and P . Kirke . Ten runs were scored in two overs . 13ingham was missed from a difficult catch in the long field when he had made seven, but after that hit with marked vigour, Kirkeallthe time playing pretty but morecareful cricket . The score advanced at a great pace, Bingham passing his half-century in a little over half an hour . The hundred appeared on the board some time after, and Kirke reached his fifty with the score at 1¢6, but at 156 he was bowled . His score of 59 was a very pretty innings made in an hour and to minutes, his "glides" being particularly fine, and his cuts excellent . Otley came in and Bingham reached his century after an hour and a quarter ' s batting. The luncheon interval then interrupted further play . Upon recommencing, Bingham and Otley hit vigorously, till the former was stumped at I n+ . I l e had made 125 by hard and well-timed hitting, and though he gave some three chances, all were really hot ones, and there was considerable excuse for missing them. "Thirteen runs later ()Bey was bowled, and but seven more had been put on when Smith was similarly treated by Turner after hitting a three and two singles . Nelson made 12 before he was caught and then Creer and E . Kirke added 33 tuns, each making 18 not out, before the innings was declared with the total 255 for six wickets . Durham started well, .}z being made before the first icket fell, Price being then howled by Otley for 14 . Henderson only made j, hut Cumber-loge and Sagar brought the score up to q6, Sagar being then dismissed by a capital catch by Creer, who took the ball with one hand, running at full speed . Ile had played a very good innings of 6z, though marred by one chance at 24, sheaving himself a good batsman all round the wicket. Elphick hit a three, but was clean howled by ()Bey before any

more runs had been scored . At 116, Cumberlege cut a ball hard towards the boundary, but Smith stopped it with his left hand, and throwing in well, ran him out . Though missed at 14, he had been of great service to his side, and had hit well . The rest of the side gave little trouble, and, though 'Fhurlmrn played pluckily at the end, the innings closed for 163, St . Peter ' s winning by 92 runs. Otley took five wickets for J5 runs .

Played at Ampleforth, June 14th, 1898. Nelson won the toss, and elected to bat, taking in with him P. Kirke, The two played careful but good cricket, gradually raising the score to 36, before Nelson \' as bowled for a useful 20. Otlev succeeded him but shared the same fate after raising the score to 56 . Smith made four when he tamely returned the ball to mid-on who easily held it . (60-3-4) . Creer followed but was soon dismissed for 3 . Soulby hit two 3'S but was then disposed of by a good catch in the long field . E . Kirke made 5 before he was caught at the wicket (97-6-5) and at this juncture P . Kirke was dismissed by a splendid catch on the boundary at square leg.

CRICKET .
He had played a splendid innings for his side, going in first and being seventh wicket down . His display was not marred by a single chance . (110-7-36 .) C . Nelson succeeded him and hit vigorously all round the wicket . He was ably assisted by Walton who made 18 in t o minutes, the pair adding 25 . Kirby was caught, having made four, and Moiser only having one or two balls the side was out for 146, by no means a despicable total, considering the bad light which prevailed throughout the innings. Shortly after lunch Ampleforth started their innings with Connor and Hayes, but with only two on the board, Connor was out lbw. Nine later Hayes was thrown out from square leg by E . Kirke. Nor did their misfortunes end I ere, for with only another added Coonan was clean bowled by Soulby (3-Iz-o) . Maynard and Weighill then made a plucky effort to save their side and added 17 in as many minutes, when Weighill was dismissed by a good catch in the long field by Walton . Maynard was dismissed by Otley 5 later and at the same total two more wickets fell, and the innings finally closed for 57, leaving us victors by 89 runs. Ampleforth went in again and made .}o for 4 wickets, when stumps were drawn . Score and analysis : AMPLEFORTH.

At I'ocklington, June 23 . Pocklington won the toss and went in; Lipscomb and Mortimer facing the bowling of Soulby and Otley. When only seven runs had been scored, Lipscomb was out lbw . to Otley, and in the next over, Baxter who had succeeded him, was clean bowled by Soulby (8-2) . Leonard then came in and hit freely, soon raising the score to 33 . At this point Soulby beat Mortimer with a fine leg break . How replaced Mortimer, but almost immediately Soulby was too much for him . A Smith, the new corner, played steadily, and shortly afterwards, Leonard after hitting two fours, was taken by Smith off Soulby . Brown came in and hit a three, but in the next over Otley got him lbw . I ' Anson joined Smith, whose stumps were disturbed by Soulby in the following over, 45-7. Dryden partnered I'Anson, runs coming very slowly . However Dryden was somewhat later bowled by Soulby, and Green came in, but I'Anson was soon afterwards lbw . to Soulby J3-9 . Hudson took I'Anson's place at the wicket, and in conjunction with Green raised the total to sixty-four ; bringing on B . Nelson instead of Otley . The change was efficacious . Nelson quickly bowled Hudson, the Pocklington innings closing for 6¢ . Most noticeable was Soulby's 7 wickets for 33• R . G . Bingham and Kirke started for the School, but in Dryden ' s second over Bingham was caught by I'Anson . B . Nelson now partnered Kirke and the score was raised to t 8 ; then Hudson, who was getting rather badly punished, was replaced by How. The good form which Kirke was displaying was deceptive, as he was shortly bowled by Dryden, 2-18 . Otley partnered Nelson, who in the same over was caught by Leonard off Dryden. Creer took Nelson's place, but after hitting a two, returned the ball to How . E . Kirke came in and was bowled in Dryden ' s next over, 26-3 . From this point onwards the bowling of How met
598
CRICKET.
with no resistance, the rest of the School wickets quickly falling for 8 runs . How secured 3 wickets for 9 runs, and Dryden 4 for 12. Pocklington restarted, Lipscomb and Mortimer facing Soulby and Nelson . Lipscomb hit a four off Soulby, but was clean bowled by Nelson in his first over. From this point onwards the Pocklington second innings was a wearisome repetition of the first ; stone-walling was the order of the day, and only Mortimer, Leonard and Brown reached double figures . The School bowling was very good, Otley getting 5 wickets for 15 runs, Soulby 3 for 21, and Nelson z for 24. The Pocklington innings closed for 72, the School thus having 103 runs to get to win, in not much over three-quarters of an hour. Bingham and Kirke started, Dryden and How bowling ; off Dryden ' s first over Bingham hit two z's and a single, and off How ' s first ball he also scored a single, Kirke was however clean bowled by How's next ball . Otley succeeded Kirke and began to play steadily and with confidence, Bingham then dismissed How fot a four, and prospects began to look rosier ; appearances were deceptive however, for Bingham was soon caught by Lipscomb, off How, 2-17 . Nelson took Bingham's place, and immediately began to hit all round the wicket, Otley contenting himself with keeping his wicket up . The score rapidly rose to the half century, and Green came on instead of How, and shortly after Hudson came on instead of Dryden . The change was however of no avail, Nelson several times scoring 8 or q runs off an over, and on one occasion r o runs off one over . The score rapidly rose, and eventually there were six runs wanted to win, and three minutes to time . According to the rate of scoring up to that time, this could easily have been done ; but apparently the Pocklington umpire and captain did not think so, as they immediately rushed off the field, utterly disregarding the objections of the School umpire, who had, it should be noted, set his watch by the Station clock. To leave this unpleasant subject and to return to the actual cricket. Nelson was not out 65, all of which had been scored in 14 overs ; 78
CRICKET .
599
out of a total of 97 had been made in the last 14 . Dyers . Too much praise cannot be given to Nelson for his magnificent forcing of the game . Otley also deserves great credit for contenting himself with keeping up his wicket under great temptation to hit . We may under the circumstances undoubtedly claim a moral victory, and although the accompaniments were unpleasant, the cricket of the School, the bowling in the two Pocklington innings, and the batting in the second innings of the School, is something to be proud of.

S . PETER ' S r' . RYRURN VALLEY C .C. At York, July znd . Rvburn Valley won the toss, and elected to bat ; Crossley and Wheelwright facing the bowling of Soulby and Otley . When only 5 had been made, Wheelwright succumbed to a delivery from Soulby, Bingham taking the catch some way from the wickets ; Jenkins then came in, and he and Crossley began to knock the bowling about, quickly bringing up the half century ; at 7 0 Crossley was taken by B Nelson off Otley . Hamilton succeeded Crossley, and shortly after Jenkins registered his 5o, bringing on B. Nelson at the bottom end, and somewhat later Smith at the top end. At 121 Smith got Hamilton caught at mid-off, and G . G . Yeld taking Hamilton's place was quickly run out . Creer now succeeded Smith and very shortly, clean bowled Jenkins, who had made 69 (129-5 .) After this there was no great opposition, Creer getting Houldsworth caught ; Nelson in the last two balls of his next over bowled Stanfield and N . Nugent, and in the first ball of his next over he bowled E . Crossley, thus completing the " hat-trick . " The last man was run out, and the innings closed for i45 . Chiefly noticeable were Jenkins ' 69, Nelson ' s 3 wickets for 23, and Creer ' s
2 wickets for i r. Bingham and Oticy started for the School, to the bowling of Jenkins and Hamilton . Bingham hit a three in his first over, and soon began to lay in to the bowling in his usual style . Otley hit a single, a three, and a two, and then hit a ball from Hamilton into the long-field, where it was well taken by Houldsworth (19-7). Kirke succeeded Otley, and runs came quickly, but at 47 Jenkins clean bowled Bingham (47-2) . Nelson came in and hit one or two boundaries ; Kirke a little later returned the ball to Jenkins, having made 13 (56-3) . Creer replsced Kirke, and almost immediately Nelson was bowled by Hamilton, having made 9 (56-4 .) Smith came in, and in conjunction with Creer, made things look more hopeful, rapidly raising the score to the century . Yeld came on instead of Jenkins, but was unable to effect their separation ; however at 102 Jenkins bowled Creer for a useful 25, which included one chance at I f (102-5 .) Soulby succeeded Creer and hit some opportune boundaries . Smith was run out at this point, having

Nelson apparently thinking time was short, hit two fours, a three and a two in his next over ; I .ongbotham made three, and the innings was brought to a close for 151 for 8 wickets . The School thus winning by 6 runs and 2 wickets . Most noticeable in the School innings were Creer's 25 and Bingham and Smith ' s z1 ' s ; C .

ATHLETIC SPORTS .

ATHLETIC SPORTS. The Annual Athletic Sports took place on the last two days of the Midsummer Term, July 27th and 28th . The first day (Wednesday), was brilliantly fine ; on Thursday there was a steady downpour all the morning, and the outlook was anything but rosy. Fortunately, however, the ground was too hard to be seriously affected, it was perhaps even improved by the rain for the purpose of the day ; and the afternoon proved, if anything, finer than the preceding . The weather being so favourable, there was quite a large company of spectators . The first clay was, as usual, devoted largely to the running of heats . Many of these were of an uninteresting character . For, as the rule is that the first two in each heat run in the final, and as in some heats there were only two competitors, the result was more like a walk over than a race. The Senior throw, we are sorry to say, again fell short of qo yards. The best events were the Pole jump and the Mile . In the former, Walton, jumping in excellent style, cleared 8 ft . 6 in ., winning easily with ► 5 inches to spare . The Mile was notable for several reasons . A great many competitors turned out to run, and what is still more gratifying, persevered to the end ; further, it was not so much one race, as two races in one, the contest for the third place being as keen as for the first . (if the individual runners, Bingham the winner, ran with excellent judgment and in excellent time (5 minutes), whilst liirke, Gibbons, and Garland ran pluckily. Finally, we must not omit to congratulate Yeats cn his indomitable perseverance, which, if we are able to judge by a recent example, is a sure prognostication of ultimate success . The junior racing was not so interesting as that of the seniors . The entries were too few, and there was much inequality among the competitors . Both on this and the following day, Bennett, Leonard, and Harrison showed the most promise . Thursday opened with a disappointment, 'I'easdale, who cleared over 5 ft . last year, appears to have lost his cunning and was beaten by Wilson, who only got over :}. ft . r t in . The Quarter Mile was done by Walton in the excellent time of 55 secs . ; Bingham was a good second, whilst Kirke was a good third . The Sack Race proved as popular as

ATHLETIC SPORTS.
ever with the juniors, of whom Harrison and P . Veld displayed the most conspicuous skill . The Half Mile recalled the Mile of the previous day, alike for the number of competitors and the closeness of the racing . Besides the winner Ro_v, Kirke and Gibbons are deserving of special mention . 1'he Ohl I3uv .,' Rice was a great success, the number who turned out being quite unparalleled in recent years. At the close of the proceedings the Lady Mayoress very kindly distributed the prizes. The details of events are as follows : The events were on the whole better than last year . The best events in the first day were the Mile, won by R . G . Bingham in 5 minutes ; Long jump won by R . "Teasdale, 17 ft . 8 in . ; the Pole Jump won by E . j . Walton, 8 ft . t, in . Of the junior events, Long Jump, under 15, \V . Bennett jumped i+ ft . 9 in . Second Day . The High jump was a failure due to the slippery state of the ground . M .

PRIZE-GIVING, PRIZES DISTRIBUTED BY LORD CHARLES BERESFORD. The annual distribution of Prizes took place on July- 28th, in the large schoolroom of the institution .

Miss Powlett, Miss Milner, Miss Fairfax, Sir Christopher and Lady Milward, and a numerous company of ladies and gentlemen. The Rev . G . 'F .

The Head Master then said that the must take that opportunity of acknowledging the indebtedness of the school to his assistant masters, e ithout whom that list of honours could not have been gained . He mentioned the fact that Mr . Lord was leaving the school with the view of taking holy orders, and devoting himself to the work of a parochial clergyman . The loss to the school would he a very great one, but he believed that the gain to the Church of England would be as great or even greater . The health of the school dur ing the year had been good . He was glad to be enabled to mention that the Old Peterite Club had taken upon themselves to further beautify the gymnasium, by panels inscribed with the lists of the elevens, fifteens, and school boats . The great event of the year had of course been the preparing and passing of the new scheme for the government of the school . He believed that the only possible result of that scheme would be good . He said that the scholarships would be definitely provided to be retained, so that there would be no alteration for the worse in the status of the school . He wished to say that, because people asked
612

questions which showed a very imperfect acquaintance with the nature of the changes likely to be made . He extended a hearty welcome to Lora Charles Beresford, M .P. The Dean of York, in introducing Lord Charles Beresford to present the prizes, referred to him as a man of brilliant ability, undaunted courage, and recognised singleness of purpose. Lord Charles Beresford had an exceedingly hearty reception. Having congratulated the school upon the list of successes read out, he said there were many things of which they were proud of in this country, but few of which they were prouder than they were of the British boy . The British boy was a first-class boy . Ile did not say that other nations did not produce first-class boys, but they believed the British boy was the best boy the world produced He had very many manly characteristics . He was generally in robust health, gentlemanly in thought, courteous to those below and above him, and above all, the had a spice of mischief in him. As the had often explained to those he had had to do with in the Seri ice, he liked the boy or young man—he was afraid the headmaster would not agree with him—who had the pluck to get into a row . And when the British boy did get into a row and knew he had clone wrong he was not ashamed to say so, especially if another boy was likely to get into trouble for him . As long as these characteristics remained they had no need to fear for the future of the race, and he was certain they would be able to hold their own for chivalry, honour, and courtesy. By way of advice to the boys before him, he would urge them, whatever they went in for, to do it with all their might . Even in private enterprise they might reflect a great deal of honour upon their country . When they were beginning life as young men they should learn all they could. Their masters could teach them a good deal, but they could teach themselves more . In these days of democracy it was brain power which won . Many men who had reached a certain age regretted that they had not learnt more when they were young . He himself often found it a loss to him that he did not know languages . He could have learnt French and German o hen he was at school, but for some boyish reason lie did not think it worthy that he
t'RIZE-GIVt\G .
61
3
should learn ant- other language but English, and he was not sure even that his English was as good as it might have been. lie would point out also to those who were beginning life the necessity for being scrupulous and very nice about money matters. The present love of money which he saw in his own country was a great danger . lie saw people in high position-, people who ought to know better, accepting money for what was called value received, and he deplored it . It was to be hoped that the younger generation would take them back to the chivalrous days when money was not everything, but when straight running and straight dealing were counted before mere wealth . Dealing with the importance of healthy sports and gymnastics, Lord Charles said it was here that boys learnt self-denial and self-control, how to win and how to lose . I-Ic had always found that a healthy body meant a healthy mind . They should also take care that they were kindly and courteous to those below then ;, and at the same time deferential and respectful to those above them . Individuality had always played a great part in the history of the world, but let them preserve their independence and at the same time recognise that outer people had the same right to their own opinions as they had themselves . Ile advised the young fellows he was addressing to run straii4ht, even if it appeared for the moment to be to their detriment_ They should not be arrogant in giving their pinions and laying down the law, but whilst they held their own opinions they should he courteous and recognise the opinions of others . It was the boy who was most unselfish at school, who was most respected in after life . If they took the advice he had given them he felt sure that the benefit would not only be felt by their country generally, but they would also benefit themselves.

to be there that evening . He said that he could not remember while at that school having taken more than one little obscure prize . There were no functions of that kind in his day . He was there to propose a very hearty vote of thanks to Lord Beresford, for not only coming there to give away the prizes, but for giving what was far more admirable and of greater value to boys, the advice which would carry them high up in whatever walk of life they might choose . He would emphasise Lord Charles Beresford ' s advice as to the necessity of keeping their hands clean in money matters, and to paying attention to gymnastics. Sir Christopher Milward seconded the motion . He said that the City of York looked up to St . Peter's School, which had always been a credit to the city . If the boys would only keep in mind what Lord Charles Beresford had told them they would be very much better for the remainder of their lives. The Dean of York said as representing the ancient governing body of the school for the last time, for next year they would find a governing body of a rather different kind established, he would add his thanks to Lord Charles Beresford, who had shown them the power of courage, efficiency, and unselfish independence of character, and had given advice to the boys for which they could not be too grateful. The motion was carried with hearty cheers, and the proceedings terminated. Mrs . Handford then held a reception on the lawn, which was tastefully illuminated with coloured lamps.

FOOTBALL PROSPECTS,
away home away home
18 9 8 -99 .
The prospect this year of a successful season is considerably brighter than last . There are eight of last year's team to form a good basis and plenty of promising candidates to fill up the seven vacant places. The " pack " ought to hold its own against most teams, with five of last year ' s forwards . Among the candidates who play forward the most promising at present are Wilson, Scott and Meek. Unfortunately both last year's " halves ” have left, and Walton ' s loss will be greatly felt . The most promising halves among the candidates are C . Nelson and Harrison. Three of last year' s threequarters are still at school and the other place in the line should be taken by 'I'. E . Nelson. Full-backs seem to be conspicuous by their absence, the only candidate who shapes at all well is Bennett, who kicks with accuracy but is rather weak in tackling, perhaps on account of his size. The Second XV . will be rather below the average in size but with practice ought to make up for it by a thorough knowledge of the game. 1\1r. Laurance will be of great assistance in club matches, both by his play and also by his valuable instruction in the game. The old colours are Bingham, Teasdale, Moiser, Smith, Longbotham (forwards), Nelson, Roy, Otley (threequarters) .
