SCHOOL LETTER. HIS term has started most inauspiciously for Cricket; the severity of the weather has to a large extent stopped practice-games and nets and considerably curtailed our match-list. Garforth C.C., Leeds G.S. and Hymers College, with the exception of an hour's play in the latter case, have all been abandoned. The match with Bootham School had to be scratched for other reasons. Still the results are fairly promising. Our new fixture with Sheffield Collegiate ended in a crushing defeat, but our opponents had the advantage both in the wicket and light. A splendid victory over Durham after a most exciting game concluded our matches up to the present.

Except for an hour's play at Leeds our Second Eleven have been compelled to abandon all their matches without a ball bowled.

The Athletic Sports, which had been put off from last term, were held on May 10th and 12th. Crosthwaite for the second time succeeded in securing the cup for the Victor Ludorum. The Final House Hockey Match, likewise postponed, was played on May 3rd, and ended in a win for the School House.

We welcome the Rev. G. H. Smith, late of Exeter School, who has been appointed to the place on the staff vacated by Mr. Robertson.

Further we congratulate D. W. Roy on his First Class in the Natural Science Tripos, and also F. Mitchell on his successful appearance against the Australians at cricket.

PYGMALION AND GALATEA,

Finally we must also congratulate the builders engaged on the New Science Block. The buildings already exhibit an almost recognisable appearance. Some of the more juvenile of us live in hopes of seeing the completion of the building about which some people were pleased to be so sarcastic and sceptical a short time ago.

PYGMALION AND GALATEA. The skilful hands ply slowly, day by day In solitude : the marble grows alway ; Wise to interpret all the Master's thought, A virgin figure, exquisitely wrought.

Love drew the lines ; the lines new love inspire ; Pygmalion's self Pygmalion sets on fire.

Narcissus bending by the human brook Narcissus saw, and languished on the look : Pygmalion so, for yonder wonder fair, His sculptured soul, must pine in all despair ; Till lids too closed a human love-light shoot, And tender breath distil from lips too mute. " Hear me, high Heaven ! " the radiant Grecian prayed ; " Grant her to live. grant me to wed the maid ; " Impelled by pangs that would unbidden start, " The world-old longings of the lonely heart, " I fashioned all the feminine in me, " Manhood's defections, to the thing ye see ; " Soul of my soul is here, and mind of mind, " Self, and not-self, in Parian pure enshrined. " Two such in bonds a being were complete. " Was ever spousal sweeter, or so sweet ? " Oh, if ye grant this loveliness to live, " Oh, if to me this loveliness ye give, " Then at your shrine thro' life's long nuptial day, " Pygmalion and his Galatea will pray."

LOVE looked at ZEUS ; ZEUS felt the youth forlorn ; The marble quickened, and the maid was born ; In eyes first oped a wondering childhood woke, And innocent breath thro' lips first parted broke.

ATHLETIC SPORTS. The School Athletic Sports were held on Saturday and Monday, May 10th and 12th, on the School pound. It had been originally intended to have them at the end of the Easter Term, as was the case in 1901, but a postponement was necessitated by the outbreak of measles at the school, which sent us home earlier than was expected. On both days we were threatened with rain, which, however, fortunately held off, and permitted a large number of spectators to watch the events. The ground, owing to the deluges to which we had been treated during the three preceding days, was very wet and the going heavy ; this fact prevented the times from being so good as they might otherwise have been. They were, indeed, quite creditable, considering that there were only five days in which to train between the beginning of the Midsummer Term and the day of the sports.

The proceedings were opened by Putting the Weight, which was won by A. B. Sale. The winner had put considerably further in practice. Sale also started in promising fashion by winning the next event—the 100 Yards Open—and by getting placed second in the Long Jump. The heats of the Junior 100 Yards were then run off, and excited much interest. What is usually the most interesting event of the day—the Mile—unfortunately proved a fiasco, as Crosthwaite won easily, and Cadle had no one to challenge him for the second place. On the second day there were some splendidly contested races, the Quarter-Mile Open and the Junior Quarter being possibly the best from the spectators' point of view. We congratulate Crosthwaite on again winning the Victor Ludorum Cup. At the conclusion of the proceedings, an adjournment was made to the Hall, where Mrs. Yeld very kindly gave away the prizes.

THE SCHOOL V. YORK H.C.

Played on the School ground on Satinday, March 29th. York brought a much stronger team, including two county men. York at once attacked but all their efforts were frustrated by Sale and Mr. Wilkinson, Clark in goal stopping some hot shots. The School halves then broke away and fed their forwards who, however, were stopped by Hood, who was playing a splendid game for the visitors. Twice, however, in quick succession goals were scored by our opponents. This was the only score up to half-time, although the umpire did adjudge a shot of the visitors, which obviously entered at the side of the net, to be a goal, but by the courtesy of the visiting captain the point was conceded us.

On resuming, play was very fast and even, each end in turn being repeatedly attacked. The School goal was subjected to an especially hot bombardment but Clark managed to remain unbeaten. Cadle, towards the end, broke away and scored a neat goal for the School. The latter now pressed strongly but failed to utilize several good opportunities. An interesting game ended with the score 2-1 in favour of the visitors.

TEAM-A. E. Clark, Goal; A. B. Sale, J. G. Wilkinson, Esq., backs; G. A. Fisher, W. H. Crosthwaite (Capt.), E. E. Yeld, halves ; G. J. Armstrong, L. M. Cadle, T. C. Newton, C. V. Crombie, M. H. T. Roy, .forwards.

THE SCHOOL

V.

THE MASTERS.

This match was played on the School ground on the last day of the term and afforded much amusement to the spectators ; the play was not of a very high standard. Play was very even in the first half, Mr. Wilkinson defending the Masters' goal well, while the School halves and backs stopped all the attacks of their opponents.

At half-time there was no score.

In the second half the School soon got the upper hand and contrived to score three goals, two by Newton and one by Roy. The School thus won by three goals to nil.

HOCKEY RETROSPECT.

No one was particularly brilliant for the School. For the Masters Mr. Wilkinson and Capt. Ingles were conspicuous, and Mr. Richards.

TEAMS-THE SCHOOL : H. R. Phillips, goal ; A. B. Sale, A. E. Clark, backs ; G. A. Fisher, W. H. Crosthwaite, E. E. Yeld, halves ; G. T. Armstrong, L. M. Cadle, T. C. Newton, P. H. Yeld, M. II. T. Roy, forwards.

THE MASTERS : J. G. Wilkinson, Esq., goal ; Capt. Ingles, Rev. E. C. Owen, backs ; B. R. Beck, Esq., G. Yeld, Esq., Rev. C. Robertson, halves ; Rev. A. W. Richards, C. V. Crombie, W. S. Senior, Esq., E. B. Laughton, E. C. J. Green, Esq., forwards.

HOCKEY RETROSPECT. The formation of a proper hockey eleven and able coaching on the part of several Masters, especially Mr. Wilkinson, have worked a wonderful improvement in the hockey of the School. Of four matches, three were won and only one, against a very strong York team, was;lost. The eleven, too, was unfortunate in being without Newton on several occasions to his absence the weakness of the forward line was partly due. Still it was very slow and its shooting unreliable. Newton and Roy were the only exceptions and the latter at times was rather wild. The whole back division played consistently well, though they were always inclined to hit too hard and thereby spoil their forwards' chances. Sale and Mrs Wilkinson at back were practically invincible, and Clark in goal, if slow, was very safe. Crosthwaite proved himself throughout the season a judicious and energetic captain.

CRICKET. This year we shall have six of last year's colours left ; T. C. Newton, M. H. T. Roy, W. H. Crosthwaite, G. A. Fisher, E. E. Yeld and A. B. Sale. All these should do well with the bat ; and Roy and Yeld we hope will again prove the mainstays of our bowling. Our great difficulty is the small choice of suitable candidates to fill up the remaining five places in the team. L. M. Cadle, however, is decidedly promising, both with the hat and ball ; and we expect him to justify his selection early on in the season. Of the other candidates G. Armstrong, who might knock up some runs, J. E. Farrow, P. H. Yeld and M. Richards are the most likely at present ; none of these last are very good, but will improve no doubt with careful practice. Farrow might make a break bowler if he learns to pitch the balls up more. Let us hope our fielding, that much neglected but most important branch of the king of games,' will be thoroughly satisfactory this season. We must remember how largely it contributed to our success over Pocklington last year and how often we have suffered owing to deficiency in that respect. We hail Mr. Green and Mr. Wilkinson as valuable coaches ; and deplore the loss of Mr. Robertson, remembering what a keen interest he took in our cricket. Our much desired new ground down Burton Lane will enable us to keep more juniors employed on half-holidays without danger of overcrowding, and will also serve to keep the match field in better condition. There only remains now to wish our elevens the best

Success.

ST. PETER'S SCHOOL V. DURHAM SCHOOL.

Played at York on June 14th, on a wet wicket, which seemed to favour the bowlers. St. Peter's won the toss and sent in Crosthwaite and E. Yeld to face the bowling of Gough and Fitzgerald.

Neither of these batsmen were at all at ease, the balls hanging on the pitch very considerably, and making it difficult to time them properly. Crosthwaite was the first to succumb to Fitzgerald with the score at 12, and E. Yeld soon after was clean bowled by Gough (2 for 13). Wickets then fell fast, Newton placing a mis-timed ball

CRICKET.

113

into Gough's hands at point. Fisher too did not resist long ; but Roy and Sale brought the score to 23 before Roy was caught and bowled by Fitzgerald. The remaining batsmen were none of them at home to the bowling; but succeeded in carrying the score to 41, Sale being not out 3, after a very patient display.

The Durham fielding was good ; while Fitzgerald took 5 wickets for 23 runs, and Gough 5 for 16.

After an interval for lunch, Durham commenced their innings with G. W. Stewart and Callinan, to face E. Yeld and M. Roy. Off Yeld's first over Callinan was admirably caught by Newton at point, with only one run scored. Again, after a maiden off Roy, G. Stewart was bowled by a good ball from Yeld ; Fitzgerald also succumbed to the same bowler, while Gough, after gliding the ball three times to the leg, was nicely caught at the wicket by Crosthwaite off Cadle, who had superseded Roy (4 wickets for,.8 runs).

On the arrival of Jackson and Richardson, runs came rather faster, but the former was bowled by E. Yeld, when the score was standing at 18. The same bowler also proved too good for the remaining batsmen, while M. Stewart was run out. Richardson was last out, after making 13 runs, he being the only batsman to play at all confidently. Our fielding was distinctly good, while Yeld's bowling, as the figures show (seven wickets for nine) was excellent. St. Peter's thus had a lead of 14 runs on the first innings.

Cadle and Crosthwaite opened our second innings, and were much happier than in their first venture, not being separated till the score was 26. Newton again failed to score, but Fisher made a useful 8 being caught in the long field off Gough (three for 40).

Yeld also fell to the same bowler, as did also Cadle, who deserves the highest praise for his score of 25 on such a difficult wicket.

Then G. W. Stewart replaced Fitzgerald, and was instrumental in obtaining our last four wickets, Sale again playing very patiently (10 for 56).

Thus with our lead of 14 on the first innings, we were 70 runs to the good. Our opponents' game was now evidently to hit, as not quite three-quarters of an hour was left for play. With this

I

CRICKET.

in view, Jackson and Fitzgerald were sent in, but did not fare much better than before, as Cadle bowled the former with 12 on the board. Gough was the next victim (two for 23), and Fitzgerald and Richardson were disposed of by Yeld, without any addition to the score, the latter well caught by Roy in the deep field. After G. Stewart was well thrown out by Sale, and M. Stewart easily captured by Newton off Roy, time was called with our opponents' score at 41 for six wickets. St. Peter's thus won a well deserved victory on the first innings, the game throughout being most exciting.

ST. PETER'S SCHOOL V. POCRLINGTON G.S. Played at Pocklington, on June 21st. St. Peter's won the toss and elected to bat first, sending in Crosthwaite and Cadle to face the bowling of Mitchell and Gilbert. In the third over Crosthwaite was bowled, with the score at 7 ; but with the advent of Fisher a most useful stand ensued. This pair of batsmen, who were playing with great confidence, were not separated until they had brought the score to 47 ; Cadle then being given out caught off a ball which many thought had hit the ground before lodging in the wicketkeeper's hands. Fisher was out soon after trying to pulverise a ball from Skene, and Newton had bad luck in being bowled by a ball which pitched half way across the pitch, the bowler slipping in the act of delivery and disconcerting the batsman (4 for 58). Roy then came in, and in conjunction with E. Yeld, took the score to 73, both batsmen hitting out well. Roy was then bowled by Skene.

Another very useful stand was made by Yeld and Sale, the board registering 95 for 6 wickets, when the former was bowled by Mitchell. Armstrong had bad luck in being run out, and P. Yeld was bowled without any addition to the score, but Laughton kept up his end well, and he and Sale brought the score to 108. Sale was then well caught by Dalton, after a most useful innings. The last wicket put on 5 runs. Our total was thus 113. The Pocklington fielding was good throughout.

H. Gathorne and Dalton opened the innings. The former was soon caught by Newton at point (1 for 5) ; but then a useful partnership took place between Dalton and Mitchell. These two men were responsible for the appearance of 40 on the board ; when Dalton was bowled by Roy (2 fur 40), E. D. Gilbert the next comer, looked dangerous for a time ; but was caught by Laughton off Roy, with the score at 56 for 3 wickets. Skene and Mitchell then advanced the score to 71, before the former was nonplussed by Newton. The game now began to be exciting, especially when two more wickets went down with only 10 added (6 for 83).

Mitchell was next bowled by a good ball from Roy, after making an invaluable 48 (7 for 83). Sherwood and Smith became associated, and brought the total to 24 by very careful play ; while

16

the former player, who had survived two appeals for l.b.w., and C. Gathorne must have been in together quite 20 minutes.

Sherwood was then caught by Sale off Yeld, after making a most useful 19, at the most trying part of the game (9 for 109). The last man was directly after, well caught at slip by Roy, without any addition to the score. wimuniumummunpmemopormminim 4
