SCHOOL LETTER. HE end of the term is rapidly approaching—too rapidly perhaps for one or two of us who are not coming back next term ; too rapidly also for the unfortunate editors, who are reminded that the end of term will require another number of the " Peterite."

Our first duty is to pay some sort of tribute to the excellent weather with which we have been favoured this term ; one match only has been stopped by rain, and sometimes the sun has been almost too brilliant.

St. Peter's Day was celebrated in very much the same manner as in former years. The chief feature of the service was the singing of the Special Commemoration Hymn, composed by Mr. Grigson and Mr. Alwyn. A full account of the doings of the day will be found elsewhere.

Cricket is now practically over, and though the School Letter is not the usual place for a Cricket Retrospect, in looking back over the season there is certainly more cause for congratulation than there was over last year's matches. We have won two, and had very bad luck in drawing instead of winning two others.

The fielding on a few occasions, notably in the match against Bootham, has been excellent.

We are pleased to be able to record a double victory over Bootham School at both Fives and Cricket.

COA1MENIORATION DAY.

As regards next term's football, it is perhaps not advisable to express any opinion. There will be four old colours left, as far as we can tell: Pickering, Colley, Schroeder, and Bulmer; but they are all forwards, and none of last year's regular backs are here now. The School will, unfortunately, again be without the services of E. E. Yeld ; he has been missed considerably in the cricket this term.

The progress made with the new buildings has been far in excess of our wildest speculations, and next term a large part of the new house will, we hope, be ready for occupation ; if not, we fear that people will have to live out of doors, since a great part of the house is to come down as soon as we have gone home for the .holidays.

We offer our sympathy to Mr. Yeld, who has been kept away from School for three weeks owing to an injury to his leg, and we hope we shall soon see him back again.

In conclusion, 'before handing on the pen to others, I should like to make the same old appeal for literary contributions. Surely the task of the Hebrews, to make bricks without straw, was light in comparison with the labours imposed upon the Editors of the " Peterite ; certain it is that their taskmasters were more lenient than ours—(no reference to masters is meant, please). Will no one help to lighten this burden next term ? Why not try ?

Just one more word :--we wish the pleasantest of holidays to everybody.

COMMEMORATION DAY. St. Peter's Day was celebrated in the usual manner on Wednesday, June 29th. Everything seemed to pass off most successfully, and the weather throughout the day was all that could be desired.

The day began, as usual, with a celebration of the Holy Communion, at which the Rev. E. 0, Owen and the Rev. G. T,

COMMEMORATION bAV.

1 93

Handford officiated. The chapel was charmingly decorated with flowers, and Miss Owen and the other helpers are to be congratulated on the very pleasing effect which they gained.

The Commemoration Service was held at half-past ten, the sermon being preached by the Rev. G. T. Handford. It was with very great pleasure that we had heard that he was to pay us a visit, and all the Old Boys who were there, and those at present in the School who knew Mr. Handford before he left us to go and live at Lissington, were delighted to see him again. The service was conducted by the Rev. E. C. Owen and the Rev. A. W. Richards, and G. A. Fisher read the lesson. The chief feature was the singing of the following Commemoration hymn, dedicated to the headmaster and composed expressly for the occasion by Mr. Crowther Alwyn, with music by Mr. Grigson.

COMMEMORATION HYMN. In honour of the Saint of old, This School his holy name did take, Who thrice denied, yet for Christ's sake Met death•, to win a crown of gold.

When duty's voice rings through the air, God grant we answer " We are here."

A thousand years and more have rolled, Since she into creation came Godly and glorious is the fame Of sons brought up within her fold.

When duty's voice rings through the air, • May we too answer, " We are here."

If on the earth be high our place, If we in turn do others lead, Remember then how we shall need A larger measure of His grace.

When duty's voice rings through the air, God grant we answer " We are here."

If humble be our path through life, If to the grave unknown we go, Yet may Thy Spirit on us flow, Transforming all our toil and strife.

When duty's voice rings through the air, God grant we answer " We are here."

i 9-4-

COMMEMORATiON DAY.

'Gaiust all that's wrong we will contend, And in love's armour boldly fight, Till trodden low is evil's might, And right triumphant in the end.

So when God calls us to appear, We all may answer " We are here."

The other hymns were " 0 God of Jacob, by Whose hand," and " For all the Saints."

The Rev. G. T. Handford delivered an inspiring address from the text " Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them " (Matt. vii., 20). A school, he said, might well learn some obvious lessons from the life and growth of a tree, looking backward and forward as they did that day. No comparison of the kind must be applied obsolutely rigidly, for it must be noticed that, whereas the tree was mainly unchangeable of its kind, a school was not. That school, founded in the early days of Christianity, refounded centuries later, fostered since, sometimes with careful wisdom, sometimes with less, by the powers that were its keepers—such a school, still living and vigorous, must have been a tree planted in good soil ; its roots must be healthy, its trunk must be stout, and its bowels must be flourishing. But what of its fruit I That, under God, depended upon the boys themselves. It might be bad at one time, and it might be good at another. The masters could command them, and influence them, and compel them only to a limited extent, but their will was absolutely free. Their outward actions were more or less under control as long as they were at school ; but their thoughts, their hopes, their desires, which they could put into action when they left school, were uncontrollable. The question was what was going to be the fruit? Their life in school gave them power ; what would they do with it ; it would be very largely exactly what they chose. Their life there tended to fit them to become leaders of others. They would learn to known the exact word that would clearly and vigorously express their thoughts.

They learned also the word that would conceal thought. They learned the word that might cut the guilty like a knife ; it might be used to cut the innocant too. They learned the word that would persuade and charm another to consent against his previous

COMMEMORATION DAY.

determination. Would it be used for good or for ill, for their neighbour's benefit or for his hurt ? They learned to read between the lines of their neighbour's speech ; to judge his intentions from what he said and what he left unsaid ; and they learned to calculate cause and effect, and saw how to form a judgement of the probable success or failure of enterprises. They learned to take with ease the place to which their particular status, whatever it might be, entitled them. They learned to be leaders of some set of men, with whom they would be concerned. They had leaders' blood in them ; they were there because their fathers or grandfathers found their way to the front in some way. When they left school, and went to work in the world, they would find that many a time one of the great company of old schoolfellows that was a leader in his department would be glad to help them for old time's sake in one matter or another. They must also learn self-knowledge and selfcontrol, reverence for mind and body and knowledge of their own hearts and desires ; for on that, depended the fruit which they now were training to produce. They were training there to recognise the line which separated good from evil fruit. In days to come the names of some of the pupils, they might hope, would be blazoned on the scrolls of fame ; others, though they trusted not, might be blackened on the pillory of infamy. Those were the good and the bad fruit ; but what of the rest—the leaves ? Let them not think lightly of their position and their responsibilities, for they partly made the fruit what it was. If it was true to say of an individual " by his fruits ye shall know him," it was equally true in the case of any society, and perhaps most of all in the case of a school—" by their fruits ye shall know them."

At the conclusion of the service an offertory, amounting to £3 10s., was taken for the Organ Fund. Extensive and immediate repairs are needed, and the expense will be considerable, probably about L100 will be required.

A luncheon was afterwards provided, the guests including the Dean and Lady Emma Purey-Cust, the Bishop of Beverley and the Misses Crosthwaite, the Vice-Chancellor of Leeds University, the Rev, G. T. Handford, Canon, Mrs. and Miss Argles, Mr. and Mrs.

OLD PETERITE DINNER,

1904.

LONDON DISTRICT. The Bishop of Bristol presided at the Old Peterite Dinner in London on Thursday, the 30th June. It was held in the Duke's Rooms at the Holborn Restaurant, and the arrangements were made in accordance with the best traditions by F. P. Fausset.

Recent deaths and business engagements kept away several Old Peterites who would otherwise have been present, and the Headmaster was prevented from attending by the claims of Commemoration Day, with its visitors, and the presence in York of the Home Reading Society.

Letters of apology were received from Professor Clifford Allbutt, Archdeacon Stone, Rev. W. H. Milner, Frank Mitchell, and others.

The usual form of toast list was preserved, viz. :—The King and Royal Family, proposed by the Chairman ; St. Peter's School Past and Present, proposed by the Chairman and answered by Chas. Haigh ; The Chairman, proposed by P. B. Lambert and answered by the Bishop of Bristol; and the Hon. Secs., proposed

by Professor Reinold and answered by C. II. Chadwick and F. P. Fausset.

The speeches dealt with the history of the School and Old Boys, including references to the connection of St. Peter's with the Alpine Club through the Bishop of Bristol (President), Chas. Hudson, Tempest Anderson, and Mr. Yeld (Editor of the Club Journal).

OLD PETERITE DINNER.

Attention was called during the evening to the length of speeches on previous occasions, and a suggestion was made that in future they should be curtailed as much as possible.

The meeting, which was throughout enjoyable for an Old Boy who has not many opportunities of meeting his schoolfellows, broke up about 10-30 p.m., on the departure of the chairman.

The Old Peterite Club Album and several photographs of the School and masters were exhibited, and by special request all fees to waiters were and will in future be included in the dinner tickets.

The thanks of all Old Peterites are due to F. P. Fausset for the way in which he organised the dinner and scored a success under difficulties.

The following Old Peterites were present :— The Rt. Rev. Bishop of Bristol • Needham, F. Newbery, H. J. Ainslie, W. Nevile, E. F. Brady, N. P. W. Reinold, Professor.

Chadwick, C. H. Roy, D. W. Draper, B. Taylor, Rev. J. W. W. Fausset, F. P. Todd, P. A. Foxley, A. Watson, C. W. Haigh, C. Watson, S. Hudson, G. Wharton, H. Lambert, P. B. BALANCE

CRICKET, ST. PETER'S V HYMER'S COLLEGE, HULL.

Played on the School ground on Saturday, May '21st, on a raw, cold afternoon. Our opponents batted first and soon ran up a good score, but after the interval for lunch the School bowlers asserted themselves and got the other men out for a total of 147. Young, the captain, had played a good innings for 40, and the next highest score after that was 21 by Johnson.

G. A. Fisher and B. H. Pickering commenced batting for the School, but the latter was unfortunately hurt when he had made 20, and had to leave the field. He was followed at the wickets by Ackroyd, who had only added 2 when he was caught. Greenhow and Peters came in next, but made no addition to the score. A stand, however, was made by Blenkin and Eardley, the former being lbw when he had made 6. Eardley played very carefully for 13. This took the score to 55 for 5 wickets. Of the rest, Wilcock made 3 and Bulmer 1, whilst Clegg was not out for nothing ; thus the innings closed for 67. The visitors decided to put the School in again.

The great event of the second innings was Greenhow's 47, which included 5 fours and 7 threes. Wilcock, too, made 21, and Eardley added 18. Fisher was, unhappily, judged to be lbw when he had made only 1. The full score was 114.

Played on the Gentlemen's ground on Wednesday, May 25th.

The outlook had been very threatening all the morning, and play had barely been started when there was a heavy shower. This was followed by a fair interval, but in less than an hour the rain began to fall very heavily, and continued for the rest of the day.

Blenkin played well for 17, and Fisher had bad luck in being lbw when he had made 8.

ST. PETER'S SCHOOL V DURHAM SCHOOL.

Played on the School ground on Saturday, June 4th, in brilliant weather. Durham won the toss and decided to take first innings.

This match proved to be the most exciting of the season, except perhaps, that against Bootham School. The first two wickets fell for 39 runs, and then Jackson came to the rescue, and added 41 to the score before lunch, Stewart being his partner and making 22.

At the interval for lunch, the score stood at 100 for 3 wickets. But on the restart, Stewart fell a victim to Mossop's catch bowling in the first over : the next wicket went down with an addition of only 19 runs. Trevor was the next man in, and he added a valuable 56, being not out at the conclusion of the innings ; the other four wickets producing only 30 runs, Greenhow being responsible for three of the wickets, and Ackroyd dismissing the other ; Mossop took three wickets, and Clegg one. The innings closed with the score at 193. The School then went in ; we must say under very discouraging circumstances, especially when Pickering was run out when the score was only one, and that a no-ball. They had been fielding for almost three hours in the hot sun, and only two hours remained in which to make the necessary runs. Blenkin succeeded Pickering, and for ten minutes managed to keep his wicket up, but was at last bowled by Carr. It was soon evident that Fisher was in splendid form, arid with Ackroyd as his partner, he quickly completed his fifty ; he was however, caught soon afterwards at mid-on with a well played 63 to his credit. Eardley then came in and played a very cautious innings which helped Ackroyd to add runs. But he was caught when he had made five, Ackroyd being

202

CRICKET.

out soon afterwards for 68. Time was now very precious, and Peters did not waste much time before succeeding him. He was quite up to his old form and made 11 in a very few minutes ; his wicket was, however, put down by the bowler. Greenhow was bowled, owing perhaps, to his anxiety to make up the score.

Anderson also did his utmost to make the remaining runs, but was caught by Carr. Mossop and Wilcock were in for the last over, which was a maiden. The score was 189 for 8 wickets. Thus, the match ended in a draw, very greatly in favour of the School.' Five runs were required to win and two more wickets were to fall. The team are certainly to be congratulated on the way in which they fought, as it seemed against fortune.

deceptive slow balls. He was followed by Best, who was out first ball. Runs continued to come very slowly, and six of our opponents' wickets had fallen for 64 ; but now a stand took place between Hill and Hugill, the former making 54 not out, and Hugill 62. Bulmer at last bowled Hugill, and the next wicket fell without another run being scored. The home captain now decided to declare with the score standing at 184 for 8 wickets. Mossop got 5 wickets for 63, and Bulmer 3 for 62. The School had almost two hours before them to make the runs ; at first it appeared as if they would succeed, the first wicket falling at 2i, and the second at 34. The hope however, was short-lived and it was soon evident that the thing to do was to stay in and save defeat if possible.

Greenhow made 14, and Eardley, Clegg, and Mossop made a noble effort to save the game, Clegg especially playing well for five not out. The other two, with Bulmer. were unable to resist what were apparently, balls off which to score, with the result that Lennox captured Mossop's wicket, whilst Eardley and Bulmer succumbed to Milnthorpe. Thus the Asylum Won, only about three minutes before the time agreed upon to draw stumps.

CRICKET. T. PETER'S SCHOOL V F. C. CROWTHER'S XI.

Played on the School ground on Wednesday, June 15th. Our opponents won the toss and decided to put the School in on rather a wet wicket. The School started badly, Pickering being caught in the slips when he had made two. Fisher was out three runs later, returning an easy catch to Shaw, who was bowling, when he had made four. There was some excuse for this, however, for he had received a nasty blow on the knee and another on the hand in the previous over. Ackroyd came in and hit a three, and was then bowled by Grist, the ball being fast and keeping quite low. The rest of the team made a very fair display ; Eardley batted very carefully for 28 and was unlucky in being run out.

E. C. Peters and Mossop made !1 and 10 respectively. The innings closed for 98—not at all a bad score, considering the state of the wicket. F. C. Crowther's team now went in, and the captain and Grist made a useful stand. Grist defied the School bowlers for some time and hit freely all round the wicket. HiS dismissal however, was at last brought about when he had made 34, by Ackroyd. Sykes and Middlemost made 14 each, and the School score was passed with three wickets to spare, our opponents making in all, 112. They were two men short, and J. L. Fisher and E. T. Heap played as substitutes.

Played on the School ground on Saturday, June 18th, and after an exciting match, in which the issue hung in the balance till the end, the School proved successful by the narrow margin of 3 runs.

Having won the toss, the School began disasterously by losing three wickets for 2 runs.. However, Pickering and Ackroyd somewhat improved matters, and the next wicket did not fall until 15 had been added, of which Ackroyd claimed 11. Meanwhile Pickering was keeping his end up, but -was finding it very hard to score, and no one making much of a stand with him, 8 wickets were down for 31. Mossop, however, hit well and scored 14, and Bulmer was not out with three to his credit, our total eventually reaching 48.

Bootham started with Rowntree and Littleboy, the former being well stumped by Eardley with the total at 10. With their total just doubled the second wicket fell, and Fisher, making a fine catch in the slips off Bulmer, and Eardley doing another good piece of stumping, five wickets were down for 25. Another- wicket soon fell, Peters making a splendid catch in the long field off Mossop, and with eight men out for 38 the match became very exciting.

With Baker run out our opponents wanted 10 to win, and there was only oue wicket to fall. When six of these runs had been obtained Fisher caught the last man off Mossop's bowling, and we won an exciting match by three runs.

Our victory was certainly due to our bowling and fielding, very few runs being given away. Mossop and Bulmer bowled unchanged throughout the innings. Below will be found the full score and

POCKLINGTON GRAMMAR SCHOOL.

Played at Pocklington on June 25th. Fisher won the toss and elected to bat, taking in Eardley with him. The wicket was soft, rain having fallen, which delayed the start until after 12. Fisher faced the bowling of Robson, getting him nicely through the slips for two, but with his fifth ball Robson bowled Fisher with a beauty. This disastrous start was never retrieved, Eardley being •

top scorer with seven, for which he played very steadily. St. Peter's were thus all out for 40. Pocklington started with J. Dalton and Brice-Smith,.and with the score at 13 Dalton was caught off Clegg.

Brice-Smith and P. Dalton hit off the remaining runs, though the latter should have been out when lie had made one After these two had gone wickets fell fast, eight being out for 93 ; the next, however, caused some trouble, putting on 39 runs before Abbott was caught in the long field by E. C. Peters off Ackroyd. With the total 154 for 9 the innings was declared closed. St. Peter's had 11 I to make to save an innings defeat, and though the first wicket did not fall till 20, the innings closed for 42, of which Fisher claimed 21.

Thus we were beaten by an innings. The following is the score

OLD PETERITES.

This usual two days' match was commenced on June 28th. St. Peter's took the first innings, Fisher and Eardley opening the batting against the bowling of Hicks and Whincup. Runs came

zo8

CRICKET.

steadily, and it was not until T. C. Ne'vton came on that the attack was successful, Eardley being bowled for 13. Blenkin made 19 out of the next 30 runs before being bowled by Yeld. Then Fisher and Ackroyd becoming associated, treated the bowling with scant respect, but when Fisher had made 38, he was finely caught and bowled by T. C. Newton, who held a hot return with his left hand, the third wicket having put on 44 runs in 20 minutes. Ackroyd soon followed being well caught by Verini, his 43 included eleven three's. The fifth wicket fell at 132, Pickering being bowled by Yeld. E. C. Peters and M. W. Peters put on 34 runs before Yeld claimed another victim, M. W. Peters being lbw. Greenhow made 16, and Mossop 11, the total eventually reaching 199. The Old Peterites started badly, Rose being out with only seven runs -on the board. T. C. Newton and Bailey then made a short stand, the second wicket falling at 23. Whincup was out without any addition to the score. Hicks played very carefully, and when the fourth wicket fell at 42, he could only claim four out of the 16 runs 'put on for that wicket. The score reached 70 before another wicket fell, T. C. Newton being lbw to Bulmer after a well played 36.

With the score unaltered W. M. Newton was bowled by Mossop, Yeld being treated in the same way first ball seven wickets were thus down for 70 runs. Such was the state of affairs when the first day's play came to an end.

On the Wednesday, the overnight not-outs, Verini and Scott brought the score to 81 before Verini was bowled by Bulmer.

Daniel made 13 in three hits and was then bowled, the innings closing for 101.

The School thus started their second innings with the useful lead of 98. Ackroyd and Fisher made a good start, the first wicket falling at 48, but with no addition to the score two more wickets fell, Dr. Hicks claiming three victims in one over.

Ackroyd again batted well, and Pickering made a useful 11. With the score at 93 Eardley retired, receiving a nasty blow above the eye by a ball from Hicks.. Greenhow made a lucky 32 not out, and Clegg was not out 13, the innings being declared with the total 147 for 9.

209

The Old Peterites had to get 246 to win in less than two hours, so obviously their best plan was to play for a draw. It seemed that the School were to have no difficulty in getting the Old Peterites out in time, three wickets quickly falling for two runs.

However, T. C. Newton and Hicks played very cautiously and gradually raised the score, and it was not until the score had reached 97 that Newton was bowled by Clegg for 57, although missed in the later stages of his innings he had played with confidence at a critical time. A draw was now inevitable, but another wicket fell before the end, the total being 104 for five, the Old Peterites being still 141 behind with but five wickets to fall.

Hicks batted well, and showed great patience, for 33 not out.

DURHAM SCHOOL.

Played at Durham on July 2nd. Durham won the toss and elected to bat, Henderson and Hicks facing the bowling of Clegg and Mossop. Runs came fast from the outset, and it was not until Greenhow came on that the attack was successful, the first wicket falling at 51. Two more wickets fell, both being clean bowled by Greenhow. The next wicket was more troublesome, and it was not until the total had reached 109 that Jackson was run out.

Pollard soon had 30 to his credit, and with Trevor well caught and bowled by Bulmer, six wickets were down for 166. Roberts and Stewart then made a prolonged stand, and it was not until the score was 202 that 'the seventh wicket fell, Stewart being caught off Pickering for 71, his chief hits were a six, 2 fours, and 15 threes. Soon after the fall of the eighth wicket the innings was declared closed, the total being 237.

The School made a good start with Fisher and M. W. Peters, and when Fisher was out the total was 26. Ackroyd played very steadily, Peters doing most of the scoring and playing the bowling

CRICKET.

with confidence. With Pickering in the rate of scoring became faster, and it was not uutil the score had reached 93 that the fourth wicket fell, Pickering being finely caught by Hodges. Four runs later Peters was stumped in playing forward to Trevor, he had played a sterling game for his side, and had hard luck in just missing his fifty. Only ten more minutes remained for play, and Greenhow and Peters managed to play out time, the last ball of the day, however, bowled Peters. At the drawing of stumps St. Peter's were still 1 36 runs behind and had but four wickets to fall.

The School were handicapped in not having Eardley, but Ackroyd kept wicket very creditably. The following is the score and analysis :— ST.

Played on the School ground on July the 9th. Leeds won the toss, but did not make a good start, Broadbent being caught when only 12 had been scored. linings and Sykes however, improved matters, but with the score at :16 the second wicket fell, Hinings being well caught by Greenhow off Mossop. The score still mounted rapidly, but with Duffitt on, wickets began to fall faster, and 8 were out for 113. The last two wickets put on 29 runs, the

2t3

CRICKET.

total eventually reaching 142. Duffitt was the most successful bowler, taking four wickets at the cost of a trifle over ten runs apiece.

The School, with an hour and three-quarters to bat, made a fairly good start, Fisher and M. W. Peters put on 21 for the first wicket, before Peters was bowled by Broadbent. Two runs later Fisher was bowled by Eastwood, and without any addition to the score, Blenkin was .similarly treated. Eardley (lid not stay long, but Pickering and Ackroyd made a short stand before Pickering was bowled by Broadbent. With six wickets down for 35 the School did not look like getting more than 50 runs, but E. C. Peters kept his end up for a short time, while Ackroyd, who was now playing the bowling with confidence, did the hitting. With Peters caught in the slips off Eastwood, seven wickets were down for 50. Mossop saw 15 added for the eighth wicket before he was well caught in the slips by linings. Duffitt and Ackroyd hit merrily, and our chances were materially increasing when Ackt oyd was unfortunately run out, having batted well for 33. After this . the end soon came, Duffitt being caught and bowled by Brbadbent for 14. We were thus beaten by 48 runs. The following is the score and analysis :— LEEDS GRAMMAR SCHOOL.

BOOTHAM SCHOOL 2ND XI.

Played on the Bootham ground on Saturday, June 18th. Our opponents won the toss and took the first innings, Cash and Jones meeting the bowling of Sullivan and Duffitt Cash's wicket was captured by Sullivan's third ball, Fisher ii. catching him at coverpoint. Runs for some time came very slowly, and three wickets were down with only 10 on the board. Stansfield and Williamson then made a useful stand, and the score reached 42 before they were separated. The rest were soon disposed of, Haughton being the only one who was able to withstand Sullivan's bowling. The total score was 71. Sullivan had bowled splendidly and .obtained six wickets for 32 runs. Heap and Schroeder started for the school, but the latter was unfortunately bowled by Cash before any runs had been scored. Heap played steadily whilst Wilcock and M. W. Peters added the runs. A. useful partnership took place between Duffitt and M. W. Peters, the latter making 19, and Duffitt 12. With seven wickets down for 54, and eight for 59 matters began to look serious, and when Groves went in with the score at 63, it seemed extremely doubtful which side was going to win. Sullivan, however, made 12 not out, and the game was won by two runs. This is the first time for three years that the 2nd have won a match. The following is the score and analysis ST. PETER'S 2ND.

G.S. 2ND.

Played on the School ground on Saturday, June 25th. The morning lied been wet, but the weather cleared sufficiently for a start to be made soon after two o'clock. Pocklington won the toss, and chose to bat first. Runs came very slowly, and the wicket appeared to be difficult from a batsman's point of view. Sale was out with the score at 18, Kirby catching him at point off a very loose ball of Colley's. Guy then carne in, but seven runs later Colley clean bowled Fraser ; his next ball, however, was lifted over the wall, and a partnership took place between Moore and Fisher, the latter making 33 before lie was caught by Schroeder at the wicket, off Duffitt. Carr and Hicks were soon disposed of, Carr being run out, Phillips throwing him out, but Quirk and Bowes were more difficult to deal with. Clarkson made five and then returned a ball hard to Wilcock, who held it successfully. The total score was 130.

The School started badly, Duffitt returning the ball to Guy when lie had made three. The only real stand of the innings was between Heap and Wilc,ck, the former being unfortunately run out ; Wilcock made 22. Kirby and Sullivan with 10 and 12 were also useful. Colley made three and then knocked his wicket down.

Phillips went in when there was half-an-hour to play to save defeat. Ten minutes of this passed before the interval for tea, but with Donovan's third ball after tea, he was caught by Clarkson at point. It certainly was a splendid catch, Clarkson stretching and getting it- with his left hand. This innings_ thus closed for 68.

The School fielding wi:s rather poor, at least seven catches being dropped, but Duffitt, Heap, Phillips, and Wilcock fielded well.

Duffitt, Colley and Wilcock had the best bowling average.

ST. PETER'S SCHOOL 2ND XI. v, DURHAM SCHOOL 2ND XI. Played at York on Saturday, July 2nd. A heavy thunderstorm . hadpseovrYkinthmg,soeafthwick may easily be imagined. As the Durham team had missed their train it was impossible to get more than half-an-hour's play before lunch. The School took first innings, and Heap and Sullivan faced the bowling of Marley and Blumer. Sullivan" was out when he had made three, but Heap with his customary steady and cautious play made 13. Kirby only survived a few balls and was caught in the slips when he had made two. Two wickets were thus down for seven, but J. Fisher and Heap made a useful stand of 32.

Anderson contributed seven and was then caught in the slips.

Schroeder, Groves, and Phillips each made three, the latter being caught in the slips off his hand. Colley was not out for nothing, the total being 67. For Durham, Thompson and Elliot commenced, Duffitt and Sullivan being in charge of the attack. The first wicket fell at 17, and the next two at 18, but a stand then took place, Jones making 63 and Blumer 18 ; Jones, however, was badly missed before he had scored. Aleck made 29 ; and the innings closed for 192. Below will be found the full score and analysis.

AMPLEFORTH COLLEGE 2ND XI.

Played at York on Tuesday, July 5th, on a very wet wicket.

Ampleforth won the toss and put us in first. Colley and Heap went in first, but Colley was out in the third over when the score was six. He was succeeded by Phillips, who with Fisher made a good stand of 21 for the third wicket. Fisher's innings of 25 was excellent, and he was out to a splendid catch at square-leg by Sharp off Smith's bowling. Wilcock made 7 and then got two nasty blows on the knee ; he was then caught. The score at lunchtime was 62. and 7 wickets had fallen. Only 6 more runs were added on the restart, and then began a most exciting time. The first five wickets for Amplefort ► went down very quickly for 20 runs, Dutfitt claiming all the 5 wickets for 5 runs. Then their captain, Ilesketh, cause in, and with Chamberlain made a stand which won the game. Hesketh was missed at the wicket off his first ball, and Chamberlain had at least one life in the slips ; he was not out for 30 at the conclusion of the innings. The chief feature of the match was Duffitt's excellent bowling ; he obtained 8 wickets for 28 runs, and two chances were missed off his bowling.

After the match he received his Second XI. colours. The following is the full score, &c.

LEEDS GRAMMAR SCHOOL

3 .5 20 12

2nd XI.

Played at Leeds in brilliant sunshine on Saturday, July 9th.

Unfortunately the School lost the toss and had to field first. The first wicket fell in Sullivan's second over with the score at 13, the next at 20, and the third at 32. Then Stockdale and Fletcher made a stand and were together for the next forty runs ; Calvert played a very lucky innings of 36 not out, and Heaton ought never to have made his 31. Anderson caught three good catches at cover-point, and Colley a neat one in the slips. Against the large total of 154, Heap and Colley commenced fur the School, but Heap was out when he had made three. Fisher took his place, and for a few minutes runs came merrily enough, Fisher making 12 before he succumbed to Horsfield's left hand bowling. Before the addition of any more runs, Colley came out after a very creditable six.

Schroeder only survived one ball (4 for 22). Kirby and Phillips were in together, the former naking three and Phillips four.

Sullivan, Groves, and Shaun put o n 19 for the last wicket, the total score being 52.

A FAREWELL. Now at last the longed for day in sight appears, Soon fond voices will be sounding in our ears, When we're thus rejoicing as when shedding tears, Orate pro nobis.

Some of us there are who returning never, The links of schoolboy's life will shortly sever, And a happy time will have fled for ever.

Orate pro nobis.

While fresh and new to all our changed conditions, While brightly burn the fires of our ambitions, Still, whatever be our various stations, Orate pro nobis.

Some, too, there are who back again are coming, Our cares and places soon to be assuming ; In faith we sing to them as we are parting, Orate pro nobis.

And other boys not yet come, are coming, In the days now on our horizon looming, That we may prove their comrades true and loving, Orate pro nobis.

SCHOOL REGISTER AND RECORDS.

SCHOOL REGISTER AND RECORDS. The Editors propose to publish from time to time, under this heading, short notes about the early history of the School and Old Peterites. Contributions, which will be thankfully received, may be addressed to the Editors of the " Peterite," St Peter's School, York.

The following were educated at the School, viz. :— Under ' John Fletcher, Headmaster 1575.

Wm. James, M.A., Headmaster 1575.

John Pulleyn, B.A., 1575 to 1591. *Wright, Wm., born 1563, died 1639. Son of John, an apothecary of York. " Went to school in his native city until he was about 20 years old."

Under John Johnson, Headmaster 1614 49.

Cartwright, Christopher, born 1602. -Went to Peterhouse Cam-

bridge. Died 1658.

Calvert, Thos., born 1606. Sou of John, of York, baker. Went to Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge. Chaplain to Sir Thos.

Burdet. Died 1679. Uncle of Jas. q v.

Calvert, Jas. Son of Robert, grocer and Sheriff of York. Went to Clare College, Cambridge. Chaplain to Sir Wm. Strickland, of Boynton. Died December, 1678.

Hill, Matthew. Went to Magdalen College, Cambridge.

Emigrated to Charles County in Maryland, 1669.

In Gent's History of York it is stated that St. Anthony's Hospital in Gillygate '. stood on that plat of ground over the road that leads to Monk Bar. Next to it on the north was a Chantry, built in the time of Henry II., one of the first pulled down at the dissolution and converted to a Free School of which there are (in 1730) very little remains."

Burton Lane, now called Burton Stone Lane, and originally Chapel Lane, derives its name from a family named Burton, who in the 17th and 18th century awned much land there.

Burton Stone, in 1856, was known as Mother Shipton's Stone. It was originally a stone cross to mark the city boundary.

In 1756 Joseph Randall kept a school in the new school room on the upper floor of Thursday Market Cross. It was pulled down in 1784.

122

SCHOOL REGISTER AND RECORDS.

Finkle Street, in Thursday Market, was known as Mucky Peg Lane. This name and Whipma Whopmagate are familiar to old members of the Fourth Form.

It is said by Symeon, of Durham, that Theodore, Archbishop of Canterbury, and Adrian, the Abbot, traversed England, and founded schools of religion and secular learning among all the settlements of the Angles, so that all who wished to learn should have masters at hand to teach them. This was in the early days of Wilfrid I., the Archbishop, and probably describes the foundation of St. Peter's School.

The holiday given during the early fifties in honour of Godfrey, of Bouillon, was on the 1st October, and commemorated the foundation of a Chantry in the Minster by him. On the dissolution the funds were used for the free education at St. Peter's School, of five singing boys of the Minster Choir.

The school cricket field originally was a circular patch surrounded by " rig and furrow " in the playground. When the Chapel was built an additional strip was bought and added on the north side, and a square patch was levelled. About 1873 the whole of the " rig and furrow " was levelled, and football was removed to " Robertson's Cricket Field " in Water Lane, Clifton.

In 1856 the Cricket XI. played in bright blue caps. It was then an innovation to play a match against Leeds Grammar School.

Benjamin Scott originally kept the tuck shop in Bootham, afterwards managed by his widow and then by Mrs. Bedford.

Before the present Chapel was built the School attended StOlave's Church.

In a letter of 8th December, 1605, preserved in the Record Office, it is stated that "I understand by Wharton, who knows Faulx of long time, that his mother is yet alive and is married to one, Fostr, an obstinate recusant, dwelling within three (2 two) miles of Yorke, and that Faulx hath a brother by the mother, bred in London, in one of the Inns Of Court. Wearby telleth me further that Jhon and Christopher Wright were schoolefellowes with Faulx and neyglibor's children. Jesmond, the

NATURAL HISTORY SOCIETY.

223

Jesuit, was at that time schoolefellow also with them so as this crew have been brought up together His name is Oswald Jesmond and he was born in York."

In 1802 the Rev. John Bell, Rector of St. Crux, Pavement, was Master of the Grammar School at York endowed by Win. Houghton. He died 20th September, 1802, and was succeeded by the Rev. Wm. Jenkinson, Fellow of St. Catharine's College, Cambridge.

Mr. Chas. Ccesar de Meuron was at the school for some years after 1845 as stated on p. 178 ante. He was a French emigrO of the old school and was succeeded by Mr. Ilabersak.

A list of members of the School Football Club when it was first established has been preserved. It contained about 54 names.

The rules which were prepared after communication with other schools were printed in 1856.

NATURAL HISTORY SOCIETY. Various changes have been made in the Society this term. At a meeting held on June 16th, Mr. Owen proposed (i.) That a subscription of ls. per term should be paid by every member during the first week of each term. The funds thus provided to be used solely for the filling up of the Museum, and preparing specimens. A further sum to be fixed by the Committee, as small as possible, to be levied for the annual excursion, but no one to be eligible to go on this whose ordinary subscription has not been paid at the right time. ( carried).

(H.) That the affairs of the Society shall be managed by a Committee of not more than ten persons, of whom two shall be Masters—one being the Curator, and the other the Chairman of the Committee—the others shall be boys each representing one branch of Natural History or kindred subject. (carried). (iii). That the Committee shall be :Mr. Squire (Chairman and Treasurer), M. Richards (Curator).
