SCHOOL LETTER. HE football team has done fairly well this season, having won seven matches, lost eight, drawn none, and having scored a total number of z .}5 points, as against 171 points scored by their opponents . We are glad to note the renewal of the fixture with Giggleswick, and must congratulate the fifteen on having played better in that match than they had done, till then, during the season . Perhaps the best match was against E . J. Joicey's fifteen, when the school played their hardest right up to the call of time. This term we have been without the services of B . Nelson, G . N. Longbotham and W . N . Bennett . The loss of the first named has been very much felt, both in drop-kicking and try getting, as last term he created a record, by scoring more points, individually, than any one has ever done for the school before, in one season. We regret to say that the criticism of the school play has not come yet, so it will have to stand over till the next number . The play was as successful as ever, which fact was a great deal due to the able coaching of G . Hudson, Esq ., who assisted Mr . Yeld in his onerous task. To turn to boating, which is the chief topic just now, we ought to have a very good crew, since three of last year's colours are left (including "stroke"), namely, Moiser, Teasdale and Bingham, and with regard to the fourth place, Roy was a candidate for it last year,
