SCHOOL LETTER. NCE more we . have assembled for another school year after a much needed rest from labour. The cricket season is now a thing of the past. The Old Boys' match, which was played at the end of the term, was a great success, and a good game ended in an even draw. The results of the season, which have been hardly satisfactory, will be found elsewhere. Our energies are now turned to football, and the season bids fair to be as successful a one as there has been for the past few years ; and we wish the XV's. every success. Now, as the winter is once more drawing near, we realise fully the advantage of our new studies, and how a cup of cocoa with a friend, after a hard night's work, is enjoyed in the privacy of one's sanctum. The list of concerts and lectures is not yet made up, but we believe that November i i th has been fixed for the first concert. We note with regret that the Rev. W. W. Dodsworth, who has laboured so earnestly in the parish of St. Olave's, has had to resign his living owing to a break-down in his health. A Confirmation will (D.v.) be held in the School Chapel this term, the date of which will be published in due course. We have now exhausted the topics with which our readers may or may not commence this number, and another of our numerous editorial tasks has been—let us hope satisfactorily—accomplished.

OLD PETERITE CLUB NOTICE. THE ANNUAL DINNER IN YORK. The Annual Dinner will be held in York on Wednesday, December zoth, when J. HERBERT DANIEL will preside. The Secretary of the Club will be very glad to receive the names of any Old Peterites who would like to have invitations.

THE PRIZE-GIVING.

THE PRIZE-GIVING. Many parents and friends of the pupils attended the distribution of prizes at St. Peter's School, York, on Wednesday, August znd, the Dean of York, who took the chair, being accompanied by Lady Emma Purey-Cust, and others supporting him being the Sheriff of York (Alderman W. Bentley), the Bishop of Beverley, the Rev. Chancellor Temple, the Rev. Canon Argles, the Rev. Canon Greenwood, Mr. John Newton, the Rev. E. C. Owen (Headmaster), and the members of the teaching staff. The DEAN OF YORK introduced the Bishop of Beverley as one well-known to nearly all those present as a Suffragan Bishop of their own diocese, and a very useful member of the governing body of the school, whilst he was also known on account of the distinctions he himself gained at Cambridge. The receivers of prizes would know that they came from a cordial well-wisher and one who had set them a very bright example. The BISHOP OF BEVERLEY, who of course had the heartiest of receptions, said he was educated to begin a speech with the words " Unaccustomed as I am to public speaking." His first recollection of the school was when his own was beaten by it at cricket, so that when he first came to see St. Peter's, he went back feeling that they had had a good drubbing which was no doubt deserved. At Cambridge he had many friends who were old Peterites, some of them people of very great distinction, and he hoped the school would keep up the traditions of the past and send out a great many boys to do well in the world. St. Peter's had an ancient history. He believed that a high authority once thought they were the oldest school in the country, and first thoughts were perhaps best, but he was now of opinion that they were only the second in point of age. The Bishop said that in performing this duty he felt that it would have been so much more interesting had six of the elder boys been selected to say what they thought of the school and about the masters, if they would only speak out and say exactly what they felt. There was a great deal in the remark of an American Ambassador that boys went to school not to be taught how they should presently earn a living, but to be taught how to make a life. A bishop had also said

THE PRIZE-GIVING.

373

that " the only true wealth is life," which was another way of saying that " it is not what a man has, but what a man is that counts." The same man said that we must always have before us the highest possible standard, because " unattainable ideals are the guiding stars of progress." If they set before themselves the highest possible standard they might not always win to it, but they would rise higher than if they had no ideal. The American Ambassador to whom he had referred, laid it down that the perfection of life was a combination of the old Anglo-Saxon reverence and respect for character with the modern Anglo-Saxon capacity for seizing opportunities as they came. We were sharper and keener than our fathers in some ways, but we must not forget the past. England had become what it was to-day mainly because of the character which English people strove to make their model, rather than because of any great eagerness for honour or distinction. People were questioning all sorts of things nowadays, but things which had stood the test of time would probably go on doing so. Archbishop Thomson was talking to another American Ambassador, and asked him if he were at all disturbed by the questions of doubt and difficulty that arose about religion. The distinguished American said, " No. I am not. I am a man of a legal turn of mind, and when a case has been settled I do not care to see it reopened." Christianity, he meant, had been on its trial ever since its foundation, and each succeeding generation had given a verdict in its favour. And he believed every generation to come would give a similar verdict. Quit yOu like men," continued the Bishop, were the words over the gateway of Selwyn College, where his son now was. We all wanted to be men, and the best way to do it was first of all to be what boys ought to be. His advice to them was to be thorough in work and play, avoid loafing and shirking, put their whole strength into what they undertook, and have a modest idea of their own powers. He hoped the success of the school would continue both in games and work, and that the boys would have a very pleasant holiday. The Headmaster then read the list of Honours and announced the award of the Scholarships, which was as follows :—

OWEN proposed a vote of thanks to the Bishop of Beverley, and said they would derive a great deal that was elevating from this address. Having just mentioned the opening of the new Schoolhouse, Mr. Owen said the examination reports were not yet to hand, as they were not due until about the end of August. The chief examiner had, however, been down to the school, and he gathered that the past had been the most satisfactory and most promising year of the last five. A close examination of the marks seemed to show that there was a general rise of the average pass standard throughout the school, and he had to thank Mr, Swift and Mr. Walker, his two new colleagues, because he believed the standard of mathematics had been perceptibly raised during the last two terms Referring to the complimentary remarks of the examiner as to the all-round knowledge displayed by some of the junior boys, the Headmaster said a higher standard of general intelligence was the one thing which was going to save education. They were no going to save it by mapping out the subjects, giving so much time to one, and so much to another, but education would be saved when they had good teachers teaching promising material. If the material were not promising it must make itself so by taking an interest in every conceivable thing, from a railway engine to a frog " Be interested, and everything else will come." At the presen moment the most promising men at the Universities were no becoming schoolmasters, and every year the number was becoming less and less, and he would remind those who were leaving schoo 1

that teaching would be a profession more worth following than in

THE PRIZE-GIVING.

377

the past, because there was not going to be the same competition. The sole reason why there was such an immense falling off in the supply of first class men was that they found they could get a far higher salary and far greater security in other professions. The country had now to choose between a good education and a cheap education. There was a constant tendency now-a-days to cut down, and the result of that in education was to kill the goose which laid the golden egg. Unless the country as a whole realised that if they wanted a good article they must pay a good price for it, then there would be nothing for it except to give up having University men altogether—because they would not be obtainable—and have elementary school masters. We were in the midst of an absolute crisis—he did not modify the word—and lie hoped the country would face it, though he did not wish to see it done by rates. The people should see that they must be prepared to make bigger sacrifices in other things than they had hitherto if they wished education to remain first class. He did not say that the price of education was going to be raised, but it was impossible for it to continue good unless the fact was faced. When a boy left school he should have a sufficient intellectual reserve to prevent crystallisation and stagnation, and it was from 15 to 19 that two-thirds of his education was gained. Pleading for the lengthening of the school life, Mr. Owen urged that education in America and on the continent was only better than our own because it was longer. The REV. CHANCELLOR TEMPLE seconded the vote of thanks, congratulated the Governors upon the erection of the new buildings, and compared the conditions of to-day with those within his own recollection. The resolution was adopted with cheers, a similar demonstration being given in honour of the Dean and Lady Emma Purey-Cust, the Governors, the Headmaster and Miss Owen, the Visitors, and the Masters.

CRICKET. ST. PETER'S V. AMPLEFORTH COLLEGE.

Played at home on July 6th. The visitors won the toss and elected to bat. The start was by no means good, as Chamberlain was bowled by Jones with only 14 runs on the board. The next wicket caused considerable trouble, but six wickets were down for However, Barton and Ward defied the bowling and put on 129. 5o runs without being parted, when the innings was declared closed with the score 179 for six wickets. The school had rather more than two hours to bat, and Ackroyd and M. W. Peters began scoring at a great pace, but with the score at 4.2 both batsmen left. However Jones and Kirby played well and put on 21 runs for the third wicket, when Kirby was caught (63-3-10. Greenhow came next, and in company with Jones raised the score to roc) without losing another wicket, but one run later Greenhow was stumped for a useful 19, and with the score at 1o5 Jones was caught for an invaluable innings. Anderson and Ede soon left, but Wilcock and Clegg kept together for a short time, and when the former was bowled the score was (117-8-3). With still five minutes to go the school were not out of danger, but Clegg and Windle proved equal to the occasion and kept their wickets intact, a good game thus ended in a draw in favour of the visitors.

DURHAM SCHOOL.

Played at Durham on Saturday, July 8th. The school won the toss and Ackroyd and M. W. Peters opened the batting. With but six on the board the latter was caught at the wicket, and six runs later Jones followed out bowled by Jackson. Greenhow and Clegg both stayed in for a short time keeping up their ends while Ackroyd did the scoring. With Kirby run out for five the score stood at (88-5-5). With the total unchanged Ackroyd was caught in a most unlucky manner, returning the ball at a terrific pace to Carr, who getting his hand to the ball passed it accidentally into the hands of Hicks at mid-off. The outgoing batsmen had made 71 out of the 88 made while he was in. None of the other batsmen were able to stay long except Wilcock who made five not out. Our total thus reached 103. The Durham innings requires little comment. After Hicks had left at 16, Jackson, aided by dropped catches, in company with Carr, put on runs at a great pace and passed the school total without losing another wicket. However, with the total at 118 Carr was caught by Greenhow and z+ runs later Caesar was bowled by M. W. Peters. The innings was declared with the score 139 for three wickets.

OLD PETERITES.

Played at the end of last term, July 3i st, and August 1st. Crowther won the toss and G. A. Fisher and Sale opened the innings for the Old Boys. With the score at z6 Fisher was bowled by Jones, and I z runs later Sale was thrown out by E. C. Peters from third man. Pickering and Crowther did not stay long, but A. R. Fisher and Cadle caused considerable trouble until the former was well caught by Anderson. With Cadle bowled the innings soon ended, the score reaching 97. Jones bowled splendidly, his seven wickets costing only six runs apiece. The school started disastrously, five wickets falling before a run was on the board. Ackroyd and Anderson improved matters somewhat, and with a useful I I from Ede the score was taken to 63, when Ackroyd was bowled for an invaluable 35. With a useful partnership for the last wicket the total was brought up to 80. Thus leaving the school only 17 in arrears on the first innings, a much smaller deficit than seemed likely from the way in which the batting broke down at the commencement of the school's innings. The same two batsmen opened the second innings for the Old Boys, and with but three runs scored Sale was bowled by Jones, G. A. Fisher and Cadle took the score to 2+ when the latter cut a ball into the hands of E. C. Peters. M ith the two Fishers in a stand was made, and it was not until the score had reached 7o that A. R. Fisher was bowled by Greenhow, who had been bowling very well, and had had hard lines in several times beating the batsman without hitting the stumps. G. A. Fisher left four runs later (74.-4-39). Crowther and Nelson put on 35 runs for the fifth wicket, when both batsmen left. Pickering and Yeld raised the total to 115, when the innings was declared, leaving the school 133 runs to win with about an hour and three-quarters left. Ackroyd and M. W. Peters opened the batting, and no liberties being taken the score rose slowly till at 19 M. W. Peters was bowled. Windle came next and stayed in some time, bringing the total to 32, when he was bowled by Crowther. With Kirby in, Ackroyd who had been playing steadily began to hit, and the score mounted rapidly. Bowling changes were tried but it was not until 54 had been added that Kirby was caught for a useful I I. Jones seemed likely to keep his end up, but off the last ball he was

caught. The total being 1 oo, of which Ackroyd had scored a fine innings of 71, marred only by one hard chance. Thus the game was drawn, the school requiring only 33 more runs to win and six wickets to fall, Crowther having given us a good sporting chance by declaring.

CRICKET RETROSPECT. Again we take up the pen to summarise in a few lines the results of the past season. We cannot say that eight defeats out of 14 matches is satisfactory while we can only claim two victories. We failed badly in both the Durham matches, while Hymer's College

CRICKET RETROSPECT.

383

and St. John's College out-played us, with these exceptions the team has performed well. Against Garforth, F. C. Crowther's XI., and Romany a good fight was made, whilst Pocklington School, Ampleforth College, and the Old Peterites were well contested. With the exception of Ackroyd the batting has been weak, though Anderson, Kirby and Ede did well for their first season. Too much praise cannot be given to Ackroyd, who has been the mainstay of the batting, he exceeded the half-century on four occasions, viz., 81 against F. C. Crowther's XI., so against Pocklington School, 72 against Durham, 71 not out against the Old Peterites in the 2nd innings. The rest of the batting has been disappointing, none of the old colours making an improvement on their last year's figures. The inability of Blenkin to play has weakened the team, but we hope he will be able to play next season. We have had plenty of variety in the bowling department, where the chief work has fallen on Jones, M. W. Peters, Greenhow, and Clegg. Jones has bowled exceedingly well, while M. W. Peters has been a success, notably in the Ripon match, in which he did the hat-trick.' Neither Bulmer nor Clegg have realised the hopes entertained of them, while Greenhow has proved expensive. The Second XI. have had quite a good team, Knowles, Fisher, Phillips and Shann having done well with the bat, while Colley has been a most successful bowler, being well backed up by Fisher, Knowles and Hendley. The fielding of the First XI. has been quite good, but the throwing in of one or two members has been very weak ; on the whole comparatively few catches have been missed. The Second XI. have not a very good reputation for fielding, but Groves, Fisher and Lamm have been conspicuous for their smartness, and on the whole its members show considerable promise. We take this opportunity for thanking Mr. Green and Mr. Squire for their help at the nets, and practices.

FIRS F XI. CHARACTERS.

FIRST XI. CHARACTERS. E. C. PETERS (19o3-4-5). Has made a good captain ; but has

been unable to play more than a few times, and then was so handicapped by his bad finger as never to show anything like his true form. A. H. ACKROYD (1904-5). A good bat ; has a sound defence and drives well. When acting as captain set an excellent example of keenness in the field. A very good mid-off, and fair change bowler. M. T. CLEGG (1904-5). Bowls well at times, but is too easily discouraged and apt to be erratic. Will not succeed as a bat till he learns to stand up to the bowling. M. W. PETERS (1904-5). In spite of one or two good innings his batting has been disappointing. He stands well up to meet the bowling, but does not put much vigour into his strokes, or if he does, fails to watch the ball. Has greatly improved as a bowler, and should be useful next season if he bowls over the wicket. E. S. N. BULMER (1904-5). Sends down some good balls on occasion, but mixes them up with bad ones and so is apt to be expensive. Might perhaps have been used more often. E. N. GREENHOW (1904-5). The most disappointing player on the side. Ought to be a good free scoring bat, but never comes off, perhaps owing to nervousness. Is a useful bowler, having more control over his length than most of the others. A good field. J. N. BLENKIN (1904-5). Has unfortunately been prevented from playing at all this season. His services have been very much missed, but we hope that next season he will again assist the Eleven. 0. S. JONES (1905). An acquisition to the side as a bowler ; has a free natural action, and keeps an excellent length. He will make runs when he learns to watch the ball. D. C. ANDERSON (1905). A fair bat, might be good, but for a stiffness in his style, which he cannot get rid of. A good field and fair change bowler.

SECOND XI. CHARACTERS.

3 85

J. A.

KIRBY (1905). Has developed into a steady bat, but his style has become cramped in consequence. Must try to hit harder. A safe catch, but very poor ground field. E. D. EDE ( 1905). A level-headed player who stopped a rot on occasion. Not a stylish bat, but sometimes made runs. A. WiLcocK (19o5). Might have made more runs if he always stood up to the bowling and played carefully. A good catch. Met with little success as a bowler. H. E. WINDLE (1905). Came into the team as a wicket-keep is naturally quick, but had not had practice enough to be good. Clever at keeping his end up.

SECOND XI. CHARACTERS. ¶.

L. Fisher, a hitter who generally manages to make runs, but should not be too eager to score. Useful bowler and fair field. "F. G. Schroeder with practice should make a very fair bat as his strokes have plenty of power behind them. Fair field. F. H. Knowles, very useful bat who hits with freedom when set. A very fair bowler and good field. W. H. Colley has been the mainstay of the attack, and has bowled consistently throughout the season. Weak bat. A. A. Phillips, a steady bat with a style of his own, which is sometimes effective. Good field. %P. G. Hendley, a useful bowler and fair field. With practice should become a useful bat. G. D. Shann, a steady and reliable bat. Smart in the field. B. T. Groves, a weak bat. Good field. J. E. Hodsman, a promising player both with bat and ball. Good field. A. B. Lamm, weak bat. Fair change bowler. Poor field. C. A. K. Peters, a disappointing bat, but should develop into a good bowler. "Denotes:a colour.

FOOTBALL PROSPECTS. The lot of those who indulge in writing the forecasts of Football and Cricket Seasons is very hard. They are, the world says, like weather-prophets ; but let us hope these few words will come true, and that the Fifteen will have a really successful season. With four of last year's forwards to form the nucleus of a light, but dashing scrum, and with four old backs, the team ought to do well. The place of full-hack is at present filled by W. Ingham, who should prove, if his present form continues, every whit as successful as D. C. Anderson, who has left. Among the threequarters we still have the two centres, M. W. Peters and E. N. Greenhow. A. H. Ackroyd is still is his old place of left wing, and J. R. Scoby has so far been entrusted with the position of the other wing, which had been left vacant by H. E. NA indle. We have a staunch half in E. C. Peters, who has lost his old partner, J. L. Fisher. Besides this good material amongst the backs we have been lucky in getting them properly trained by the Rev. H. T. S. Gedge, the famous Scotch threequarter, who has very kindly promised to coach the whole team generally. From the pack we have lost E. S. Bulmer, 13. E. Yeats, C. Duffitt, and A. Wilcock ; and W. H. Colley (Capt.), F. G. Schroeder (Hon. Sec ), A. A. Phillips, and M. T. Clegg are left. Of the candidates, R. 0. F. Husband played several times last season, and D. H. Kennedy and others should be quite good, so that these four vacancies ought to be well filled. Colley and Schroeder, with their dash and energy, will ably lead the forwards, who will not be

FOOTBALL.

389

as heavy as those we had last year, but who should make up for their lack of weight by skill and quickness in scrumming, breakingup, and other important branches of the game. • The Second XV. has several players who promise well for the future. The forwards are big and heavy, and the backs are quite smart, thanks to the excellent coaching of Mr. Gedge. In conclusion both the XV.'s should be better than any of the XV.s we have had in the last few years, and if the present keenness in the school continues there should be no lack of talent in the future.

FOOTBALL. SCHOOL V. OLD BOYS.

This match was played on October 7th, and opened the school football season. The Old Boys turned up with sixteen men, so it was decided to add another man to the school fifteen instead of sending one Old Boy to watch on the touch-line. The O. P.'s kicked off uphill and were soon on the attack, E. S. Jones scoring an unconverted try, but the school played up well and prevented further scoring. Soon the school forwards began to get the ball out to the halves, but a drizzle made good combination difficult. Thus many chances were spoilt by the school backs by handing forward, and failing to hold the slippery ball. Matters were, if anything, in favour of the school, but . no more scoring was registered before half-time, the points being 3—o against the school. On the re-start the Old Boys began to press again, and after good individual play N. L. Hood got over, but E. E. Yeld failed to improve (6–o). The school forwards were playing a good game against superior weight and size and prevented the Old Boys heeling out much. However, after some good passing, H. R. Partington dodged over and scored, the kick again failing. The school gained relief by several free-kicks, but the O.P.'s were not to be denied, and N. L. Hood registered his second try and

390

FOOTBALL.

kicked a goal from in front of the posts. After a few minutes more of even play no-side was called leaving the Old Boys victorious by I goal 3 tries (14. points) — nil. The superior weight of the Old Boys pack and the state of the ball had a great deal to do with the defeat of the school. The following were the teams :SCHOOL : Back, W. Ingham ; threequader-backs, A. H. Ackroyd, M. W. Peters, E. N. Greenhow, J. R. Scoby ; half-backs, E. C. Peters and J. E. Hodsman ; forwards, W. H. Colley, F. G. Schroeder, A. A. Phillips, M. T. Clegg, R. 0. F. Husband, D. H. Kennedy, P. H, Bulmer, A. B. Lamm and R. D. Foster. OLD BOYS : Back, B. G. Laughton ; threequarter-backs, H. R. Partington, H. L. Creer, A. R St. George, W. A. Rose ; half-backs, N. L. Hood and E. S. Jones ; .forwards, N. T. Crombie, W. H. Crosthwaite, G. Crowther, S. Crowther, B. E. Yeats, A. Wilcock, R. R. T. Smith, E. S. Tones, E. E. Yeld. ST. PETER'S v.

RIPON G.S.

This match was played on the school ground on Saturday, Oct. 14.th. Colley won the toss and elected to play with the wind. Bland kicked off for Ripon, but the ball was soon returned to the visitors' half. From a penalty kick for off-side play. Colley found touch well inside the Ripon 2c '. From a forward rush the York backs got moving, and Ackroyd nearly got over on the left wing. E. C. Peters then got over the line for York, but was held. From the ensuing scrum the York forwards got the ball nicely away and E. C. Peters scored a capital try. M. W. Peters failed to convert. After the drop out, the York backs got the ball moving, and M. W. Peters after a capital run made a fine opening for Ackroyd, who scored a try far out. M. W. Peters failed at goal. After exceedingly unselfish play by M. W. Peters, Ackroyd again scored. The same player failed at goal. A fine dribble by Schroeder and Colley was only just stopped by the Ripon back smartly picking up and finding touch. After a good dribble by Schroeder and Phillips, Greenhow scored a nice try under the post, Ackroyd converting. From the kick-off the York forwards, headed by Colley and

FOOTBALL-

391

Schroeder, took the ball to the Ripon quarters, where Clegg nearly scored. From some scrambling play Scoby picked up and dodged over the line, Ackroyd kicking the goal. From the kick-off the York forwards again went off with a rush, and Ripon were compelled to touch down. Colley again took the ball back by a fine dribble, which enabled Hodsman to get over in the corner. Ackroyd kicked a splendid goal from the touch line. Half-time score : St. Peter's 3 goals 3 tries (24. points), Ripon Grammar School, nil. From the kick-off the home forwards soon returned to the attack, and enabling the York backs to get the ball to the wing, Scoby crossed the line after a good run. M. W. Peters failed at goal. Soon after Clegg got possession and scored under the posts. Ackroyd converted. After a good dribble Colley handed to M. W. Peters, who, after a dashing run, made a fine opening for Ackroyd, who scored. The same player failed at goal. From a line-out Phillips was grassed by the Ripon back when looking dangerous. Immediately after Hodsman crossed the line by a clever feint. Ackroyd converted with a splendid kick from the touch line. From a forward rush Schroeder got over, but the try was not allowed. Immediately after Ackroyd scored his fourth try, after a good bout of passing- . Schroeder converted. The ball was soon transferred to the Ripon quarters again, and Greenhow scored between the posts. Schroeder easily converted. St. Peter's again pressed, and Schroeder, after a fine dribble crossed the Ripon line, but the referee not being able to see, disallowed the try. Time was then called with the score : St. Peter's 7 goals 5 tries (5o pts,) Ripon Grammar School nil. The school team was as follows :—Full-back, W. Ingham ; threequarter backs, A. II. Ackroyd, M. W. Peters, E. N. Greenhow and J. R. Scoby ; half backs, E. C. Peters andJ. E. Hodsman ;forwards, W. H. Colley, F. G. Schroeder, A. A. Phillips, M. T. Clegg, D. H. Kennedy, P. H. Bulmer, A. B. Lamm and R. D. Foster. -

SHOOTING.

SHOOTING. The Annual Competition for the Shooting Challenge Cup (presented by Mrs. Edmond Green) took place on Thursday, July 27th, in fine, but gusty weather, which was at times very much against good shooting. Though the winning target was not such a good one as last year, yet the average score per competitor was above that of last year. But before going on to an account of the actual shooting, permit me to tender one or two words of advice, both to some of those people engaged in this year's competition and to future competitors. I. Don't forget to put a fresh cartridge in your rifle before aiming again, as one competitor did. 2. Don't aim at your neighbour's target, which is apt to lead to complications. 3. Don't forget to move your sight up after leaving the two hundred yards range, as when shooting at the soo yards range one is apt to hit sheep grazing on the range and not the target. One competitor fired all seven shots with his sight at two hundred yards when shooting at five hundred yards, and consequently only procured two " outers." The conditions of the competition were these :Seven shots, independent firing, at zoo yards ; Seven shots, independent firing, at soo yards. Position of Shooting—Lying. The targets were the regulation Bisley targets, the bull of which is this year one inch smaller in diameter than last year. Captain Ingles kindly officiated as judge, Colour-Sergeant Mellor and Corporal Clarke keeping the scores. The shooting at the first range (zoo yards) was very fair, the three best targets being made by Clegg, Kennedy, C. F., and Schroeder, with 28, 27, and 26 respectively. When the second range (soo yards) was reached, the competition assumed an interesting state, as first Schroeder, then Clegg, and finally Kennedy had the highest aggregate at the two ranges. Schroeder put up a score of 27, thus making his total 53, this, however, was beaten by Clegg, who also scored 27, thus making

SHOOTING.

393

his total 55. None of the other competitors was thought to have a chance until Kennedy began putting up a good score. With one more shot to fire he wanted a magpie to equal and an inner to win. To the surprise of everyone he put up a bull, and by the last shot of the competition won the cup. His score of thirty comprised four bulls, two inners and one outer, which, considering the erratic gusts of wind, was a very meritorious performance. Besides the shooting for the Cup, another competition was going on for beginners, for which Mr. Owen very kindly gave a separate prize. At two hundred yards Blenkin was first ‘Nith 22, Wadsworth and Monkman each scoring IQ. At five hundred yards, however, they were quite unable to guage the wind, Monkman making the highest score with 13. Blenkin only made two hits, the rest of his shots being misses. He, however, gained second place with 29 points, Monkman being first with 32. After the shooting Mr. Owen again treated the competitors and spectators to a splendid tea, which was thoroughly enjoyed by all. Among those who watched the shooting were Mr. and Miss Owen, Mr. and Mrs. Green, and Captain Ingles, to whom we must again express our thanks for judging the shooting and allowing us the use of the range. The following is a list of the scores :Mrs. Green's Challenge Cup. For C. F. Kennedy (Holder of Cup and winner of Mr. Owen's special prize) 57 2 M 'I'. Clegg .. 55 3 F. G. Schroeder 53 4 R. A. rd.

Two years later he was still engaged in the Far East, being present at the operations against the Taeping rebels, and the second capture of Kanding. For 16 years he saw no more fighting, till as a senior captain, he served in Afghanistan during the years 1878-9-80. Here he earned a brevet, having been present at Charasiah and Doaba, and severely wounded at the latter engagement. He was present at the occupation of Kabul and the magazine explosion at the Bal Hissar. For this campaign he was mentioned in despatches and received the medal and clasp. Six years later he commanded a wing of the znd Hampshire Regiment in the Burmese expedition with the Shan column.
