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 .
