SCHOOL LETTER. E are now rapidly drawing near to Christmas and its attendant joys and cares . The great topic of interest just now is, of course, the coming Theatricals . Though many of the actors will be young and new to the work, we nevertheless feel sure that, under the experienced and excellent guidance of Mr . Yeld, they will rise to the occasion and, with proper co-operation on the part of those not acting, will make this year's performance equal, if not excel, all that have gone before it.

The play will be " Twelfth Night ."

Our " Fifteen " has now had a fair trial and, on the whole, has proved itself worthy of the School . Every player in the team has, we believe, at all times, done his best for the success of his side and, win or lose, we have always given our opponents a good game.

Outside the School, O .P's . have been distinguishing themselves on all hands . Mitchell is still as brilliant as ever and has turned out with Kent twice this season . Russell, Sullivan, Yeld and I3ingham have all been playing for Yorkshire, Russell especially earning commendation from all quarters for his splendid forward work . In this connection we may mention that Walton would have frequently assisted Yorkshire this season had he been able to leave Oxford . A . M . Sullivan has been playing full-back for Cambridge University, and seemed safe for his "blue" until he

most unfortunately injured his knee in an inter-College match.

He has not played since . and his place has been taken by Sagar, an Old Dunelmian . We, one and all, sympathise with Sullivan in his unlucky and aggravating accident, and at the same time congratulate Sagar on his success at full-hack.

Since the issue of our last number two interesting events have taken place in connection with the School, of which full reports will be found elsewhere . The first is the gratifying victory scored over Pocklington Grammar School in gymnastics ; and the second is the visit to the school of Bishop Ridley, an Old Peterite, who is at present at work in British Columbia and the Klondyke district.

As this is the last number before the holidays we cannot conclude without wishing that all Peterites, past and present, may enjoy a merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year, no matter in what part of the world they may be spent.

VISIT OF THE BISHOP OF CALEDONIA. BISHOP RIDLEY was introduced to us by the Headmaster, and told us all about his missionary work among the Indians . He said he had great pleasure in coming to see us, and in talking about the churches in British Columbia, where he had been working twenty years . He had told the boys of St . Peter ' s of a former generation, of what had been done : how the missionary work had begun in a very small way and had gradually spread step by step, and now was in touch with almost every tribe in his diocese . The distances out there were very great, and his work extended over a country which was much bigger than England, very mountainous, and which could only be got into by the rivers and wild beast tracks, along which one had often to go on all fours ! The rivers, the biggest of which was the Fraser, were much larger than English rivers, and probably any one of them carried into the sea as much water as all the rivers in England put together. They drained the Rocky Mountains and flowed out into the Pacific . The country was covered with forests, and abounded in bears, wolves, moose, and all

kinds of game . That was the place to go to if one wanted big game shooting . The Bishop told the tale that the Queen, when asked by a savage chieftain the secret of England ' s greatness, ordered a Bible to be sent him with the message that it was their faith in that, that had made the English the nation they were ; and went on to say that it had been the earnest endeavour of himself and his helpers to bring the knowledge of this same Bible home to the Indians, and so teach them to lead nobler and truer lives.

He next described his journey to the further tribes in his diocese, how they had to go miles by canoes on huge rivers, up which you can go by steamers, for quite 100 miles . Four years ago they had to walk over the mountain passes on foot, but now they had got a railway, which ascended 2900 feet in ten miles, and was cut from the solid rock on the faces of what were almost precipices . It was now possible to go from Liverpool to Klondyke in 19 days, whereas a few years ago it would have taken over two months . He was visiting a settlement once, and found about S000 people living in tents, with their horses stabled on a frozen lake . He had been given a hundred and fifty pounds to get big tents to use for churches, and on one occasion he was very much touched to see some Indians, whom he had baptised nineteen years before, sitting among the congregation . It was astonishing to see how quickly settlements grow in those parts . The first week there would be only tents to be seen ; the second week log huts would spring up ; and the third, saw—mills would arrive, and after that hotels, restaurants, etc ., would appear.

He knew frequent cases of people walking 26 miles before breakfast so as to be able to receive the holy communion at 8 o ' clock.

He was on very friendly terms with the miners and had more than once tried his luck at digging for an hour or two, and on one occasion had secured gold dust to the value of fifteen shillings in one hour, although of course he was not a very expert hand.

Towards the end of his address he told us of the boys ' and girls ' schools which were fast springing into life, although the money had to be raised privately . The largest was in charge of three ladies, who had volunteered, and given themselves up to their work.

They taught the Indian girls to sew, and cook, and he had often

seen them actually scrubbing the floors to show their pupils how it ought to be done . They had now got a hospital, and trained nurses, and were in a very flourishing condition generally.

The Bishop then brought his instructive address to a close somewhat quickly, as he had to catch a train, and hurried away amid the cheers of the School.

THE DREYFUS CASE. " Of the making of books there is no end . " Nor perhaps is there any end of essays and sketches regarding this drama, which has aroused the interest and wonder of all the civilised world, in the last years of the nineteenth century . Yet we propose to add another to the number, not in reality an essay, but rather a short record of the actual course of events, the plot, so to speak, of the drama.

Thus we shall put aside political discussions, and forbear to plunge into the sea of religious conflict which has begun to rage around it . We shall only try to put before our readers a statement of what actually occurred in France during the years of Dreyfus ' martyrdom . So to our tale.

In France, as in other countries, there is an Intelligence Department, which has for its sphere the preservation of particulars of various new inventions and arrangements in the national army, and the collection of similar information concerning rival armies . To this department Captain Dreyfus, some five years ago, belonged.

He was at that time a young man of ambition and of decided opinions . Possessed of large financial resources he was somewhat independent, and in his own words did not " march behind" his superior officers . That is to say, he did not, when he saw an abuse, pass it by in silence and leave it to his officers to remedy or neglect ; instead he proclaimed it, and thus forced their hands.

We have said that he was ambitious, and in fact he desired to become a member of the General Staff. For this purpose, however, it was necessary to know something of other departments

THE DREYFUS CASE .

765

besides his own . Thus he acquired the character of an inquisitive and dangerous officer . In addition he was a Jew, and in France this is one of the worst of crimes.

One of the superior officers, of whom we have made mention, was Colonel Henri . This officer had for some time employed as a spy a woman, engaged in some menial capacity in the office of Colonel Schwarzkoppen, the German military attache at Paris . At certain intervals she brought to Henri the contents of the wastepaper basket of the office . Among these papers was found one day a document which had been torn in pieces . Henri pieced it together again, and was horrified to find that it was a list of most important documents, which had been sent to the German embassy by the writer.

It had already been noticed for some time that there was a 1 leakage, and here was the confirmation . However the only means of finding out the traitor was by the handwriting of this document, the famous " bordereau ."

For some time the search was unsuccessful, but one day an officer, on seeing the list, exclaimed " why, this is the writing of Dreyfus, I know it well ."

Some genuine letters of Dreyfus were obtained and certainly showed some similarity in handwriting. We may well believe that there was no lack of readiness to denounce the hated Jew as the traitor .

The case was entrusted to an officer of the name of Du Paty de Clam .

Summoning Dreyfus to his room he ordered him to sit down and write what was dictated .

Then he read out the actual words of the Bordereau.

The unusual nature of the proceeding, and the strangeness of the matter dictated, could not but cause Dreyfus great agitation.

In addition to this, he became aware that he was being watched by men concealed in various parts of the room . The weather, too, was bitterly cold . From all these reasons, as he wrote, Dreyfus ' hand began to tremble . This was seized upon as final proof of his guilt ; he was arrested and thrown into prison . There he was continually visited by Du Paty who tried, but in vain, to extort a confession from him . He was even visited in his sleep to see if in his dreams he would reveal what was looked upon as the truth.

Meanwhile the agony of his mind affected him to the verge of

766

THE DREYFUS CASE.

madness . But his behaviour convinced the governor of the prison who was experienced in such cases, of his innocence, and this officer, at the risk of losing his position, went to the General Staff and asserted that a mistake had been made, Nevertheless they ignored his statements and Dreyfus remained in prison . It was at first attempted to keep his arrest secret but the news of it leaked out, and the political organs of Paris, the gutter press, commenced to urge an immediate trial . By a threat to promote an interpellation in the Chamber, and to wreck the Government, they intimated the General Staff . Dreyfus was brought before a court-martial.

The Bordereau and specimens of the handwriting of Dreyfus had been submitted to experts, who declared that the writing in the different documents was identical . The chief of these experts was M . Bertillon, and he was one of the principal witnesses at the courtmartial .

Another was Du Paty, but their evidence was not sufficient to allow the judges to finally decide against the prisoner.

Then General Mercier achieved infamy . Without the knowledge of I)reyfus or his advocate, Maitre Demange, he communicated to the judges a number of documents which we know under the name These of the " documents secret dossier . " did not actually name Dreyfus but apparently implicated him, and decided the judges, who brought in a verdict of " guilty . " I t has since been proved that the majority of these documents were forgeries, and in any case General Mercier ' s action was completely opposed to all the usages of justice .

The prisoner was sentenced to transportation and solitary confinement for life and to public degradation . The latter part of the sentence was shortly afterwards carried out, and Dreyfus was no longer captain.

He never ceased to maintain his innocence, and even begged the reporters, who attended the ceremony, to proclaim in their papers that a mistake had been made . This appeal met with the brutal response, " Be silent, Judas, traitor, Jew !"

Before his departure from France he wrote a letter, protesting his entire innocence, to his wife, and besought her to use every effort to discover the real culprit . Then he was taken away to Devil's Island, and for a time the victory of the General Staff seemed complete . Two years passed, and Colonel Picquart, a man

THE DREYFUS CASE .

767

of honesty and uprightness, became Head of the Intelligence Department . The German Embassy was, of course, still watched, and one day a spy brought a telegraph form, taken from Colonel Schwarzkoppen ' s office . This form was the " Petit Bleu" of which much was heard afterwards . It ran somewhat as follows : "I wish to speak to you shortly . Therefore pay me a visit or let me know where I can see you . " The signature was that of Schwarzkoppen, Colonel Picquart at and it was addressed to Major Esterhazy . once made enquiries with regard to that officer .

He found that he had a bad record in the army, was in great need of money, of dissolute character, and no Frenchman .

Ile came of a noble Hungarian family, who for some years had refused to acknowledge him . This was at once reported to General Boisdeffre, and he ordered Picquart to institute an enquiry . Some letters of Esterhazy were procured, and the colonel, glancing at them, was at once overwhelmed by a startling truth . Ile had not taken any great interest in the Dreyfus case previously, but he had seen the Bordereau . He now recognised the writing of that document in these letters of Esterhazy, and realised that a great mistake had been made . At once he despatched the Bordereau and a specimen of Esterhazy' s handwriting to experts, who emphatically pronounced that the writing was identical . This matter was at once reported to the General Staff, in the expectation t hat they would at once try to do justice to Dreyfus . But, to their shame, they refused point blank to re-open the case, and one of them, General Gonse, made this infamous remark to Picquart, " Granted that, as you say, a mistake has been made . Yet thousands were killed in the last war, what does one man more matter ? You are the only one who knows of this discovery ; if you keep quiet, no one else But willColonel ever know . " Picquart was a man of another stamp . " General, " he cried, " I will not live my life, and go T down his to my grave with this was secret upon my soul too ." much for the General Staff . Lacking the moral courage, to acknowledge their mistake, they determined that Picquart must be silenced at any cost . For this purpose--they despatched him on a fanciful mission to Algiers.

But the agitation for truth had begun .

768

THE DREYFUS CASE.

Mathieu Dreyfus, brother of the captain, denounced Esterhazy as the culprit, and demanded that he should be brought to trial.

This demand was taken up by a more influential man, M . SchurerKestner, and he could not be ignored . A court-martial was held, but the witnesses were carefully chosen, and the evidence of certain experts was bought . Esterhazy was found " not guilty, " and left the court completely cleared by his judges . But Colonel Picquart, who had returned, publicly proclaimed himself dissatisfied, and again accused Esterhazy .

Thereupon the latter, inspired by the General Staff, challenged him to a duel .

Picquart refused to so honour him, and then received a challenge from Henri . This he accepted, and, in the duel that followed, wounded him in the arm.

Then the General Staff accused Picquart of forging the " Petit Bleu, " and kept him in prison without trial for the next eighteen months.

But another accuser sprang up . Emile Zola, head of the realistic school of novelists, published a letter entitled " J ' accuse, " in which he denounced the experts as bought men . He was at once prosecuted for libel, and, despite a splendid defence by Maitre Labori, lost his case .

He was sentenced to a heavy fine and a short term of imprisonment .

Thereupon he left the country, vowing never to return till justice was done.

In the meantime, M . Cavaignac had become Minister of justice.

He was known to be a man of upright character, and the General Staff, fearing for their secret, determined to convince him, at any cost, of the guilt of Dreyfus . For this purpose they published a series of letters, purporting to be the correspondence between Colonel Schwarzkoppen and Colonel Panizzardi, the Italian Military Attache, with regard to Dreyfus, and incriminating that officer.

This convinced M . Cavaignac, and he determined to strike a final blow at the agitation for revision . He ascended the Tribune during a sitting of the chamber and declared on his honour that he believed Dreyfus to have been rightly condemned, and vouched for the authenticity of the correspondence . Such an avowal from such a man had tremendous weight, and amidst wild enthusiasm a vote was passed that this speech should be printed and published For a time the movement in favour of throughout the country .

THE DREYFUS CASE .

769

revision vas crushed, and we will leave it to see how Dreyfus fared in Devil ' s Isle.

This is a small and rocky island in French Guiana, and Dreyfus lived in a hut near the guard-house . At first he was allowed to wander at large on the shores of the island, but his guards became fearful of an attempt at escape, and by order of M . Lebau, Minister of the Colonies, a narrow space in front of the hut was enclosed by a high palisade, and Dreyfus was confined to this . Shortly afterwards the cruel order was given to put him in irons, which were attached to his bed . All this time he wrote many letters to the President of the Republic, asserting his innocence and demanding that the real culprit should be sought for . Most of these letters were however intercepted by M . Lebau, and never reached the President.

One night Dreyfus was awakened by feeling the barrel of a revolver pressed against his forehead . Fortunately he made no movement and thus escaped death . It afterwards transpired that orders had been given to shoot him if he made any attempt to leave his bed, on the pretext that an American ship had approached the island, and an escape was feared . During the five years of his captivity Dreyfus was allowed to speak to no one, except the doctors who twice visited him, and it was on their recommendation that he was released from the irons.

However, as we shall see, his deliverance was at hand . Six weeks later M . Cavaignac's declaration, Colonel Schwarzkoppen formally complained that the letters, which he asserted were deliberate forgeries, had been attributed to him . M . Cavaignac made enquiries and found that the letters had been produced by Colonel Henri . He at once sent for that Officer, and as the result of a rigid cross-examination extorted from him the confession that the letters had been forged " to preserve the honour of the army ."

Henri was at once placed under arrest, and M . Cavaignac, as an honest man, acknowledged in the Chamber that he had been deceived . Henri was thrown into the Mont Valerien prison, and three day s afterwards was found with his throat cut—a doubtful case of suicide. It is provided by the law in France that, before

770

THE DREYFUS CASE.

any case can be re-opened, some new fact, bearing upon the case and unknown to the judges at the time of the trial, must have come to light . On the ground that the confession of Colonel Henri constituted such a new fact, Madame Dreyfus now applied to the Court of Cassation for a revision of her husband's case.

Madame Dreyfus had always been fully convinced of the innocence of her husband, and from the first had been the mainspring of the cause of revision.

The decision of the Official Reporter of the Court of Cassation was entirely in favour of the Appeal, and accordingly the Court sat to revise the case . From the evidence given before them, they realised almost immediately that there was absolutely no case against the unfortunate officer, and ordered him to be at once brought back to France . Finally they submitted his case to a fresh court-martial, to sit at Rennes, with a strong recommendation, which should have been sufficient to secure his acquittal.

About this time a new ministry, under M . Waldeck-Rousseau, had come into office, and it was soon apparent that this was better than any that France had enjoyed for a long time . Its Minister of War was one of the most famous generals of France, de Gallifet, a man of a very different stamp from the _notorious General Staff.

Energetic measures were taken to preserve Dreyfus from the danger of assassination, and, if possible, to secure him a fair trial.

He was landed under cover of night at a small fishing village on the south coast, and taken at once to Rennes to await his trial.

At length the sitting of the new court-martial began . Surely never in the whole course of the world's history has there been such a mockery as this trial . Throughout the case not a particle of genuine evidence against the prisoner was brought forward.

Instead, member after member of the General Staff came forward and asserted his unalterable belief in the guilt of Dreyfus . Before civil judges they would have been laughed out of Court, but here the judges were men who had been accustomed to regard these generals as their leaders . In them "the honour of the army " was attacked . They must be defended at any cost.

During the trial Maitre Labori, the heroic defender of the prisoner, was shot by an unknown assailant, and was for some time

THE DREYFUS CASE .

77 1

absent from court . However, he recovered in time to continue the case This dragged on for weeks and it is hard to realise what must have been the suffering of the unhappy officer, when he heard so many witnesses rise in turn and assert their own valueless opinions with regard to his guilt . No wonder was it that at times his agony drew from him those passionate exclamations, of which we have heard.

But even this farce could not last for ever, and after a magnificent speech from Maitre Deimange for the defence, the judges retired to consider their verdict . To the amazed disgust of the whole civilised world they brought in a verdict of "guilty o ith extenuating circumstances . " Such a decision was at once culpable and ridiculous . The crime, of which they had found Dreyfus guilty, was such that there could be no "extenuating circumstances ."

But the evidence, or lack of evidence, had most emphatically shown that he was not guilty . However, such was the verdict, and Dreyfus was sentenced to ten years imprisonment . His sentence involved a fresh ceremony of degradation, but when the judges realised this, they at once appealed for a remission of this part of the sentence, and in so doing revealed their belief in his innocence ; for to a man convicted of betraying his country, no mercy could be shown . It was evident that their devotion to the honour of the army " had been too strong for their sense of justice . But in sentencing him to a fresh term of ten years' imprisonment in France, they had believed that in consequence of a rule, which makes one year's captivity abroad equal to two years' in France, he would shortly be set at liberty . In this way they hoped to save the " honour of time army " and at the same time to spare Dreyfus any further torture . Instead, they had still more disgraced the army, and left the prisoner to resume his misery . Fortunately for France, however, there was a higher power . President Loubet had long been firmly convinced of the innocence of Dreyfus, and he wished at once to set him free by means of a pardon . This desire was frustrated by the fact that Labori had appealed against the verdict immediately after the trial . The law in France provides that no pardon can be given while an appeal is still undecided.

This was pointed out and the appeal was withdrawn, so that ten

772

days after the completion of the trial, Captain Dreyfus was once more set at liberty . On the day after his release he published a letter to the French people, in which he declared his determination to devote the rest of his life to the clearing of his name from the stain left upon it by the iniquitous verdict . General de Gallifet ordered the General to submit to the decision of the President, and affirmed that the incident was closed.

But this can hardly be, while Major Esterhazv is still at liberty, and Dreyfus is still held in execration by half the French people as a despicable traitor . No, there can be no final closing of this memorable case till the absolute innocence of Captain Dreyfus is recognised by the whole French nation, and Esterhazy is expiating his crimes on Devil's Isle .

So mote it be .

ST . PETER ' S SCHOOL 7' . LEEDS GRAMMAR SCHOOL.

Played at Leeds on Oct . z 1st . The ground was greasy on the top and hard underneath, making the ball difficult to catch, and falling unpleaant . Leeds kicked off from the far end, and play settled down in St . Peter ' s half for the first few minutes . The Leeds forwards, though rather smaller and lighter, were more successful at getting the ball, and the result was that they attacked fairly consistently for some time, and all but scored, a wing threequarter on one occasion being held up when over the line . After this the York forwards woke up a bit and took play to the other end, where Leonard spoilt a fine chance of scoring by a knock on .

774

FOOTBALL.

Scott, on the right wing, on one occasion nearly got over, being pushed into touch near the line . Give and take play followed in the middle of the field, and half-time arrived with neither side claiming any advantage, though the superior strength of the visitors seemed likely to give them the benefit in the long run . Resuming after the interval, play settled down in the Leeds half, though not for some time did either side look like scoring . About zo minutes before the end, Nelson got Light away from a line out near the "25 " flag, and scored between the posts, Otley converting . For a moment or two after this Leeds pressed fiercely, Nelson on one occasion saving by a touch-down . Two good dribbles by Wilson, however, relieved the pressure, and the York score was increased by a neat dropped goal from Harrison . Just previous to this, with about ten minutes left for play, Stephens was so unfortunate as to fracture his collar-bone, and had to leave the field . Pulleyn having retired earlier with a damaged knee, the game was finished with only thirteen men on the York side . Leeds, however, were by this time quite worn out with their exertions, and the game continued to be fought out in their quarters . Harrison had another drop at goal, this time unsuccessful, and the game ended with the score nine points to nil in favour of St. Peter' s.

The game was not altogether satisfactory from our point of view, as the School forwards showed a considerable falling off from the form displayed against the Old Boys . They lacked dash, and did not seem to use their weight, several showing a tendency to `wing,' which They must get rid of. The outsiders were fair, though showing a tendency to hold the ball too long . Their passes should be sharper . Robinson at full–back was satisfactory.

On Saturday, October z8th, we journeyed to Durham for the first of our two matches with the school, and were defeated by

FOOTBALL .

775

three goals, five tries (thirty points) to one goal (five points).

Durham won the toss and elected to play with the wind, which was fairly strong, though slightly across the ground . Otley kicked off, and the game began in the Durham half, but was quickly worked up by their forwards to our twenty-five, where, after some exciting play near the line, Cumberlege struggled over and scored.

Pearson failed to convert . ()tley dropped out, the game continuing to be fought out in our twenty-five, the wind preventing our outsides from giving relief by kicking . Several times Durham were only prevented from scoring by the poor play of their centre three-quarters, who invariably drove their speedy left wing on to touch-line before passing . Nelson brought relief by a run from our twenty-five well into the Durham half, being then collared by the full-back, but the advantage was only temporary, a smart round of passing enabling Barrow to romp right round and score behind.

Cumberlege added the major points . The pressure was still kept up, Pearson scoring again from a forward rush, Cumberlege again converting . A free-kick to York for "picked-out " gave a little relief, but the ball was again worked up to our quarters, where, after a touch-down, Bell scored from a scramble . This try was not converted . From now to half-time nothing further was scored, a rush led by Harrison even bringing us close to their goal line.

Superior weight, however, always brought the ball hack, and halftime was called with the game near the centre flag . the scores reading : Durham, 16 points ; York, nil . With some advantage from the wind, which had gone down considerably, York showed up better at the re-start, and even got the ball in the scrimmage once or twice . For some time play was in mid-field, but an attack by the Durham outsides led to a further score by Cumberlege, whom Leonard should have stopped . Pearson missed the kick.

The next noticeable feature was a dribble by Otley, which unfortunately ended in touch-in-goal, the ball thus crossing the Durham line for the first time . Encouraged by this partial success York played up with vigour, and had a good deal more of the game . Durham, however, had not yet finished ; working down to our line they scored on three further occasions, twice by Cumberlege, who played finely throughout, and once by Barrow . Keeping hard

at it to the finish York made a further attack, this time successful ; Leonard, from the half-way flag kicked across, and Kirke following hard up succeeded in touching the ball down after the Durham full-back had missed it . Otlev converted . The game ended soon after with the score as stated above . Durham owed their success to their heavy scrum, which enabled them to get the ball almost every time ; in forward rushes they showed up well, and would have scored very much more frequently but for the fine play of Harrison and Nelson . The former was brilliant throughout and did an immense amount of work, while Nelson was in his best form . Robinson saved pluckily at full-back, and the three-quarters, playing behind a beaten pack, were very fair . To the forwards considerable credit is due for their efforts under disheartening circumstances ; they showed great improvement on their Leeds' form, G . C . Otley and Wilson being most conspicuous.

not playing the ball . But the School did not gain much advantage from the kick, and Headingley pressed again, when Harrison and Lawrance saved well .

Scrums in our " 25" followed, and Wilson brought a man down just before the line .

Harrison kicked down the field, but passing among their backs brought it back again and presently we were forced to touch down .

The ball was brought back to our " 25" after the drop out, and we again had to touch down . The next event was a try by the Headingley right wing three-quarter, whom Leonard should have collared, but the kick at goal failed . An exchange of kicks followed which ended in touch at the halfway flag . A dribble by the School forwards then took the ball into Headingley territory, but one of their backs relieved by a kick which rolled into touch owing to Leonard fumbling.

Their right wing then nearly got in, but dropped the ball . Then Headingley were conspicuous for good dribbling, but Wilson saved well . One of their men got over the line, but Nelson pushed him into touch in goal After the drop out Harrison made a splendid run to their " 25," but as nobody backed him up the effort ended in nothing . Neilson damaged his knee at this point in the game, but continued to play . One of the Headingley threequarters got away from a line out and scored after a long run . The kick at goal failed . After the drop out Neilson made a good run, but his pass was intercepted by a Headingley back, who was brought down by Scott after a long run . After some loose play in our territory half-time was called with the score :—Headingley 1 goal 2 tries (r i pts .) St . Peter' s nil.

Headingley had the wind second half and completely outclassed the school, especially in the back department .

Otley kicked off and the ball was returned into touch at half-way . Headingley presently scored and converted . After the drop out a free kick gained us some ground, but they soon pressed again, and the School had to touch down . Another try to Headingly soon followed . A good rush by our forwards took the ball into our opponents " 25," and Otley picking up got over, but was pushed into touch in goal.

After the drop out Headingley made a good dribble, but Harrison relieved splendidly . Robinson was conspicuous for good tackling, but Headingley scored 3 more tries, z of which were converted .

This match was played at York of Saturday, Oct . z ith, in a strong wind . The school were without Wilson, Stephens, and Scott, whose places were filled by Robinson, E . Kirke, and Richards .

Otley lost the toss, and kicked off against the wind, but play soon settled in our " 25 ." Hard scrimmages on our line followed, where Harrison relieved by a kick into touch .

They soon scored however, but failed to convert.

Otley dropped out, and Yarnbury returned well into our i 0 25," and a series of scrums ensued in front of our goal .

After a kick we were forced to concede a minor .

Yarnbury pressed after the drop out, but we were awarded a free kick, owing to one of our opponents refusing to play the ball .

One of the school forwards, however, got in front and a scrum in our " z5" followed, after which we were obliged to touch down .

Good combination by the Yarnbury backs ended in King scoring . The shot at goal hit the post but did not bound over the bar . They pressed again after the drop out, and from a free kick awarded to us, King made a mark for them, but the shot at goal went just outside the posts.

After a good deal of scrummage they scored far out, and landed a splendid goal . The school now played up and kept in their " 25 " for some time, but their defence was too sound for us to score . Their forwards then rushed the ball down the field to our " 25," and presently they scored close in, but failed to improve.

Half-time then arrived with the score :—Yarnbury F .C . 1 goal 2 tries ( 1 1 pts .) to the School, nil . The School now had the wind behind them and played much better, though at the start Yarnbury pressed and were awarded a free kick, but the shot fell short, and Neilson kicked into touch about half way . They continued to press, till Nelson relieved with a good kick, and presently we were

779

given a free kick, which took us into our opponents " 25 ." Neilson about this time got his knee badly hurt, but went on playing.

Play remained in the Yarnbury " 25" for some time, till a bout of passing by their backs brought them to half way where Richards got dangerously kicked, and had to be carried off. Near the close of play we were awarded a free kick, and Otley, aided by the wind, landed a goal, from half way ; after this they crossed our line once more, and placed the goal . Time was then called with the score : —Yarnbury F .C ., z goals 3 tries (19 pts .) St . Peter' s, i penalty goal (3 pts .) The following represented the School : Full Bark, M . W . Richards ; Three-quarter Backs, A . Neilson, E. St . G . Kirke, H . Leonard, B . G . Lawrance, Esq . ; Halfbacks, C. Nelson and R . Harrison ; Forwards, G . C . Otley (capt .), E . D. Teasdale, R .

ST . PETER ' S V . GIGGLESWICK SCHOOT..

Played at home on Saturday, Nov . I Ith, in a dense fog . It is quite impossible to give any sort of account as one could hardly see from touch-line to touch-line, much lees from goal to goal.

The Giggleswick backs combined very well and scored twice in the first half, from which tries i goal resulted . They scored two very soft tries in the second half, and finally won by z goals z tries (16 pts .) to nil.

Our forwards quite held their own in the scrum, and put in some very fine rushes . Otley, Wilson, Dunning, and Teasdale were best . Scott played a very good game at three-quarters, repeatedly collaring a man on the other wing, and saving one or two tries in this way.

allowing their opponents to pass the ball out to the three-quarter line, who combined well . There was some improvement in the tackling, though better kicking might have prevented at least one of their tries .

PETER ' S V . RICHMOND SCHOOL.

Played at York on Nov . z5th . From the outset it was evident that the school team were much too strong for their opponents, who, however, did not seem to play up as well as they might have done . It is hardly possible to give any account of the match, as it was a mere fiasco, but perhaps a few remarks will not be out of place . The forwards left little to be desired in their dribbling and wheeling, though inability to obtain the ball in the scrum took half the value away from many fine rushes . There was very good passing shown among them, and it is hard to single out any special one, but perhaps G . C . Otley, Wilson, and Teasdale showed up best . All, however, were good . The backs might have done more passing perhaps, but in a game in which scoring was so easy, such selfishness may be excused . Nelson and Harrison at half completely outclassed the opposing pair, who were much smaller. Of the three-quarters Robinson and Kirke showed some improvement, but Neilson was not quite up to his usual form, though he gave one or two very good passes . Scott returned into touch very nicely at times, and resisted the temptation to run from our " 25," which he is rather apt to do.

The following scored for the school :--G . C . Otley (5) . R. Harrison (4), C . Nelson (3), W . H . D . Wilson (z), C . P . Scott (3), E . D . Teasdale (z), E . St. G . Kirke (z), T . E . Pulleyn (z), J . H. Robinson (z), Neilson and E . J . Otley (i each) . G . C . Otley kicked 8 goals, Wilson, 4, and Teasdale, i . The score was L3 goals (i from a mark) 15 tries (109 pts .) to nil.

ST . PETER ' S SCHOOL 2ND XV. V . Sr . JOHN' S COLLEGE 2ND XV. This match was played on Nov . r 6th on the school ground . St. John ' s kicked off, and Leonard returning found touch near our opponents " 25 . " St . John ' s were gradually gaining ground when a free kick was given to us, which, however, did not help us, as one of our men got in front . Play settled down in our " 25," and the visitors two or three times nearly scored, but at last one of their men attempted to drop a goal, resulting in the ball going over the dead line . After the drop out the game returned to our " z5, " where one of the visitors kicked the ball over the line, and, Richards failing to hold it, St . John's secured a try, which was not converted .

Play of a somewhat uneventful character ensued, but soon a good rush by our forwards brought the ball near our

opponents' line .

Here a free kick was given against St . John's, but Dunning failed to kick a goal from a difficult angle . The game remained in the visitors ' " 25" for some time, until some faulty passing by our backs enabled St . John's to bring play up to half-way., . Here Kirke . made a good run and was collared near their line, where, after several scrums, the ball was touched down by one of the visitors .

Soon after the drop out another free kick was given to the school, and Dunning by a good kick carried the game again near our oppenents' line . A St . John ' s man made a long dribble, which, however, was pluckily stopped by Richards, who kicked well into touch . The game now came into our z5," when a kick by Armstrong, followed by some good forward play, in which Otley was conspicuous, took the game to half-way .

Here Kirke made another good run, but, kicking the ball over the full-back's head, St . John ' s just managed to touch down . Half time went, the score being :—St . Peter's School, nil ; St . John ' s College, 3 points.

St . John ' s kicked off, and a good rush by their forwards resulted in the ball being kicked over our line, but Richards did not fail to touch it down . The game now settled down in our " 25," where Mellor and Armstrong were conspicuous for some fine defensive play . Pulleyn made a good run, and, kicking the ball into touch, we looked like scoring . But St . John ' s forwards relieved, and play returned to our " 25 ." Here a free kick was given against us, but our opponents failed to kick a goal . Several scrums ensued on St . John ' s line, where our forwards were seen to great advantage.

The visitors, however, took the game to half-way by a kick into touch . Here Dunning was prominent with a dribble, but play soon returned to our " z5," where Richards saved by some good tackling . Another free kick was given to St . Peter' s, and a kick into touch took the game into our opponents ' quarters, where Mellor, after several good rushes by our forwards, secured a try.

The try, however, was not converted .

After the drop out we carried the ball again into their " 25 ."

Here Pulleyn broke away from a line out and scored a try, which Mellor converted . Soon afterwards time was called, the final score being :—St . Peter ' s School, 8 points, St . John's College, 3 points .

2ND XV . V . LEEDS GRAMMAR SCHOOL 2ND XV.

Played at York and resulted in a win for us by 32 points to 6.

The School kicked off and Leeds returned . Soon after the start Leeds dribbled over and scored, but the attempt failed . Another try followed owing to mulling by the full-back . The School then pulled themselves together and remained in the Leeds " 25," Hutchinson finally scoring . E . Yeld converted . Half-time arrived with the score : Leeds G . S . 6 points, York 5 points.

In the second half the School forwards let the ball out to the backs and we crossed their line seven times . E . Kirke got 4 tries, Armstrong, Black and Harrison one each . Black kicked two goals and E . Yeld another in addition to his first one . The final score was York, 32 points, Leeds, 6 points.

Notes .—The School forwards were all over the place the first half, repeatedly kicking into our opponents' feet . One or two showed a strong tendency to "wing" and shirk the scrums, and three or four times, when on the Leeds line, kicked the ball straight through instead of heeling out ; consequently, as the Leeds forwards were as heavy, if not heavier than ours, we were one point behind at half-time.

In the second half they worked together much better, and heeled out a few times . Crosthwaite, Hatfield and Garland were the best, the two first-named especially at line-outs.

The School znd XV . was as follows : Back, R . G . Newton ; Three-quarters, E . St . G . Kirke, R . W. Hutchinson, M . H . T . Roy, P . H . Vold ; Halves, G . Armstrong, T . J . Black ; Forwards, W .

GYMNASTIC COMPETITION. 2ND XV . V . DURHAM 2ND XV.

Played at York . Durham were, as usual, much heavier than the School team and had matters mostly their own way, their outsides combining well . Armstrong again played a very good game at half, and Richards at full back was good . Crosthwaite and Hatfield were the best of the forwards and should be good when they get more knowledge of the game . Durham won by 39 points to nil.

GYMNASTIC COMPETITION. ST . PETER ' S V . POCKLINGTON SCHOOL.

On November 1st, a contest that had been looked forward to with much keenness and not a little anxiety took place in the Gymnasium at Pocklington, resulting in a great triumph for the School . The competition was arranged, after some discussion, on the following lines : two seniors and two juniors (under 15), to represent each School, both sides to do one set exercise each on the horizontal bar, horse, parallel bars and rope, and one voluntary on the same, except the rope, the set exercises being mutually agreed upon by the respective instructors . The conditions of the contest being finally settled about the second week in October, about three weeks were left to get ready . Four seniors and three juniors worked steadily during this period, P . Kirke and E . Kirke being finally chosen as seniors, while Richards and G . Fisher were the junior representatives.

A substantial lunch of roast beef (we hoped our boys were beefy enough already) preceded the contest, which began at 2-30 p .m ., before a large audience, consisting of the Masters and Boys of Pocklington, some ladies from the neighbourhood, and one enthusiastic Old Peterite . Major \Vitherby, who has taken a great interest in our Gymnastics, and Mr . Fennell kindly acted as judges, Colonel Fox, who had promised to referee, being unable to do so

from stress of business . The parallel bars were taken first, both sides doing the set exercises well, Pocklington perhaps rather the better . In the voluntaries Kirke I . was quite the best ; Richards should have scored heavily with a long arm balance, but unfortunately only got it at the second attempt . Following the parallels came the horse, at which S . Peter's were rather the better, Kirke II . showing up well . One of the Pocklington juniors, hesitating between two exercises, performed a medley and ended on his head . No harm was done . Next came the horizontal bar ; on this we established a strong lead . In the set exercise both Kirkes did well, the younger slightly better than the elder, but the latter ' s voluntary was the triumph of the afternoon, a stiff exercise done perfectly . Richards also did well for the juniors . On the rope, which followed, marks were given only for the distance climbed, and not for style . Pocklington had the best of us here, as by much kicking. and spiderlike struggling they succeeded in covering a greater distance.

The marks were announced , by the Headmaster, Mr . Hutton, who congratulated us on our victory, which was substantial enough to satisfy us . Pocklington had the satisfaction of heating our juniors .

We are lucky enough to have a gymnasium as good as any school possesses, while the Sergeant, to whom we owe in a great measure our victory over Pocklington, is as smart and keen as one could possibly desire .

We may be certain that Pocklington will want to compete with us again next year, and it is our business to be ready for them with a team of eight accomplished gymnasts, that being the usual number, not four only, as in the last contest.

There cannot be a boy in the school who does not wish to become a strong man, and here is his opportunity ready to hand.
