SCHOOL LETTER. FTER the many criticisms and cutting remarks on the last " Peterite," it is with some anxiety that the reception of this number is awaited. But let us remind our kind critics that the unfortunate Editors are not wholly to blame for the lack of material. Our earnest solicitations for some witty poem, or original tale, were absolutely ignored, with the result that the blame, as usual, falls on the long-suffering Editors. One cannot make bricks without straw, and if contributions are not forthcoming, as has been the case of late, we can only publish the bare facts of the term. The Cricket season, which is now over, has not proved as successful as we could have hoped, though Dame Fortune, as usual, has not been on our side ; but this is not intended to be a Cricket Retrospect. The Natural History Society had their usual day's outing, and from all accounts a very interesting time was spent in the vicinity of Goathland. St. Peter's Day was favoured by fine weather, and a large gathering of friends, among whom we were glad to see many Old Peterites, and especially we were pleased to welcome our late Headmaster, Mr. Handford. And now, before we conclude, it is with painful hearts that we bid farewell to all who are leaving, and trust that whether at college or elsewhere they will keep up the school's reputation and be successful in whatever profession they adopt. We have to deplore the loss of a greater number than usual, foremost amongst whom are E. C. Peters, F. G. Schroeder, and E. N. Greenhow, who have nobly upheld the school's reputation both in the school itself and in the field.

COMMEMORATION DAY.

509

COMMEMORATION DAY. St. Peter's Day began as usual with a Celebration at 8 o'clock, at which the clergy officiating were the Headmaster, Canon Abbay, and the Rev. A. W. Richards. The Commemoration Service was held in the Chapel at io o'clock. The interior had been artistically decorated with flowers and reflected great credit on those who had assisted in arranging them. The lessons were read by E. C. Peters and F. G. Schroeder, and a sermon was preached by a former pupil at the school. Rev. R. Abbay (Hon. Canon of Norwich), who took for his text Proverb iii. 6, " In all thy ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct thy paths." In the course of his sermon Canon Abbay said education in its truest sense meant formation of character, the training of all their faculties and powers, whether in the class room or the playground ; it was leading them in the highest direction and strengthening them so that they might be, in after life, almost as good and perfect men as their natural gifts would allow. In the afternoon an Old Boys' reunion was held in the school grounds by the invitation of the Headmaster, the Rev. E. C. Owen, and Miss Owen, genial weather favouring the occasion. There was a company numbering about 30o present, among whom were Canon and Mrs. Argles, Mrs. and Miss Bentley, Mr. J. Newton and Mrs. Newton, Mr. and Mrs. Dodsworth, Rev. A. Crosthwaite, Misses Crosthwaite, Mr. T. B. and Mrs. Whytehead, Rev. E. Peters and Miss Peters, Mr. and Mrs. J. Peters, Mr. and Mrs. A. Peters, Mr. W. E. Husband, Captain and Mrs. Ingles, Dr. and Mrs. Shane, Rev. E. and Mrs. Bulmer, Mrs. Potter-Kirby, Mr. and Mrs. Yeld, Mr. and Mrs. Richards, Mr. and Mrs. Green, Mr. and Mrs. Tendall, Rev. W. Johnson and Miss Johnson, Miss Bower, Miss L. Owen and Miss M. Owen. During the afternoon tea was handed round, and an interesting cricket match was played between teams representing pupils past and present. A handsome flag has recently been presented to the school by Mrs. E. Green, and this was flying over the building for the first time. It bears the colours blue and white, the colours of the

school cricket team.

NATURAL HISTORY SOCIETY.

NATURAL HISTORY SOCIETY. On Saturday, 9th June, the annual expedition of the Natural History Society took place. As usual the Photographical Society accompanied them The committee chose the neighbourhood of Goathland as the field for exploration. Starting from York by the 9-4 train the party arrived in Goathland at I1-20. Tea had been ordered at the Horse Shoe Inn, at Levisham, which is situated some nine or ten miles from Goathland. The Naturalists had the option of walking from Goathland to Levisham over the moors, or of going back by train. The really energetic ones manfully determined to go the ten miles on foot, either by road, through becks, or over the wild moorland. Others, of a less energetic spirit, stopped in the vicinity of Goathland, and when they had thoroughly ransacked the country for plants, bugs, and other game, took the train to Levisham, and tea. I may say here—and not without some pride—that I belonged to the energetic set. I was accompanied by a trusty comrade, and together we made a brief inspection of Goathland, which is rather a pretty village and somewhat of a golfing centre. We were very interested and not a little amused by the actions of s'ome golfers who were indulging in a gentle (?) knock. We were rather tired and very hot—the sun was blazing down—so we stopped to watch them and rest ourselves. They were evidently just starting, for they had several golf balls lying on the ground close at hand. After a few false strokes I suppose it takes one some time to get one's eye in—the first man drove the ball quite fifty yards. The other, after hitting the ball twice very hard, but for some reason only sending it a few feet, drove the ball skilfully into the middle of some cows, which had been thought, I suppose, out of the line of fire. The man in charge of the cattle was quite indignant and told the golfer in quaint English that he should aim twenty yards to the left. The other man had by this time lost his ball. We trudged up the moorland road and saw them in the distance still wandering about and searching for their balls. We were not favourably impressed by golf. Amongst other things we decided seriously that it would —

be bad for our morals. Now my friend and myself are both lovers of nature, but we were equipped with nothing more than lunch and walking-sticks. Still we made up our minds to capture something—for appearance's sake. Consequently we left the roadway and tramped over the moor itself. We caught sight of several lizards, but although our efforts were strenuous we failed to catch one. My companion, who is something of a Brusher Mills, now told me he was going to have a shot at a snake. I gladly agreed to help him to catch one. We fell to discussing snakes in general, and I learnt with alarm that the viper's sting is mortal. Being nearly up to my calves—they can be perceived if looked at sideways when I am wearing knee-breeches—in the thick brushwood, I did not relish the idea of a viper viciously striking at my unsuspecting legs. I therefore hurriedly regained the road. When we were some four miles from Goathland we struck a beautiful little stream in a small ravine. It looked a very haunt for trout, but we could not see a fish. We followed the stream for some way and came upon a natural swimming bath. The stream had broadened to about 15 yards and had a nice rocky bottom. After some hesitation we both undressed and jumped in. It was delicious to feel cool once more, and we had to tear ourselves away. We followed the stream for about a mile but we did not see the semblance of a trout. My friend had been wondering whether to bring his trout-rod—we were both thankful it was safe at home. . We bore up nobly with the heat, and invigorated by a march which we were chanting—we are both prominent members of the choir—Levisham was at last sighted. Near our destination we came upon a pool, full of tadpoles and tremendous newts. Had we had a bottle and net—several had brought these requisites —we would have brought some back. We overtook several members on the road. They were armed with all kinds of weapons. One had a big band-box strapped to his back.— He was a botanist. We started tea at Levisham minus a dozen of the junior members. Most of them straggled in after a time one by one, completely done. One luckless junior never reached the Inn at all but just managed to crawl into the station in time for the train. It is

unnecessary to comment on the tea. Everyone did full justice to it. We were all sorry when we had to enter the train once more. The day had been beautiful, and although several people had lost their weapons or parts of their apparel, or else fallen into ditches and streams, the expedition was most satisfactory in every way. We take the opportunity of thanking Mr. Walker very much for the trouble he took in arranging everything for the Society.

CRICKET. ST. PETER'S SCHOOL V. AMPLEFORTH COLLEGE. Played at-Ampleforth on Thursday, June 7th. The school won the toss and E. C. Peters put the home side in. Before a run had been scored McElligott was beaten by Jones, and with the exception of Hesketh and Hardman, none of the earlier batsmen made a very long stay, seven wickets being down for 79, However, Chamberlain and Lovell made a long stand and put on 51 runs before Chamberlain was caught by Clegg. The innings finally realised 14.0 runs. With Greenhow and Tendall playing confidently, it looked at first as though we might manage to get the runs, but after Greenhow left we had only a draw to play for. Blenkin and Clegg played carefully, but after. the latter was out E. C. Peters hit too rashly, with the result that instead of staying in he was caught in the long field. The later batsmen failed to play out time and Blenkin, who had batted very steadily, was out to a splendid catch at 8z, and though Jones played well he could get no one to stay with him, so we finally were beaten by 4.9 runs.

ST. PETER'S SCHOOL V. HYMER'S COLLEGE.

This match was played on the school ground on June 13th. The school were without the assistance of E. C. Peters and 0. S. Jones. Clegg lost the toss and our opponents sent in Foster and Moore to face the bowling of M. W. Peters and Greenhow. Runs came freely, and aided by mistakes in the field the score was 31 before Moore was caught by Schroeder off Peters' bowling. The next man was shortly afterwards run out, but a great stand was made for the third wicket, realising 55 runs, before Davies was dismissed by C. A. K. Peters. With the exception of Foster and Davies, Homers could do very little, and the innings closed with the score 212 for 8, of which Foster had made 124., although he ought to have been caught out with his score at 19, and shortly after he had passed 80. M. W. Peters and C. S. Tendall opened the school innings, and the former quickly ran up 4.8 before he was unfortunately run out. He was succeeded by E. N. Greenhow, who played a very steady innings for his z8. None of the succeeding batsmen, however, could do much until Schroeder came in, who, after a bad start, settled down and compiled a very creditable 4.6. C. A. K. Peters, who had succeeded Hodsman, was in the meantime, playing very careful cricket, and his 8 not out was made in good style, but Colley, who succeeded Schroeder, was caught at the wicket, and the innings closed for 168.

CROWTHER'S XI.

Played on the school ground on Wednesday, June loth. Crowther won the toss and went in to bat with Middlemost. With only seven runs scored Crowther was well caught by Colley, and with Greenhow howling splendidly, half the side were out for 66. Grist and Shaw made a short stand, but the former was capitally taken in the slips by Greenhow just when he looked like making a big score. The innings reached the total of 119. Greenhow, who bowled throughout the innings, had seven wickets for 48 runs. M. W. Peters and Greenhow made a capital start and it was not until Grist changed ends that a separation came, the former being bowled by a beauty. Greenhow left two runs later, and Colley and Schroeder both were out with the score at 3o. Blenkin and Clegg made a bold effort to save the game and brought the score

to 56, when Clegg was bowled (56-5-7). With Blenkin and E. C. Peters in we had just a chance of making the runs, but with the latter's dismissal at 69 a collapse took place, Blenkin, who had hatted steadily for nearly an hour, being bowled by Grist. Hodsman and Ede added ten for the last wicket, and in the end we were beaten by 4o runs. Grist bowled at a remarkable pace, having the splendid analysis of seven wickets for 20 runs.

ST. PETER'S SCHOOL v. POCKLINGTON G.S• Played at Pocklington on Saturday, June 23rd. The home side won the toss, and Sale and C. E. Anson faced the bowling of M. W. Peters and Greenhow. Runs came steadily, and it was not until M. W. Peters gave way to Clegg that a wicket fell, Sale being smartly taken by Blenkin (43-1-24). The second wicket fell at 63, Anson being lbw. O'Meara and Hodgson made a prolonged stand, but with Colley coming on to bowl three wickets fell in quick succession. Hodgson being bowled, O'Meara well stumped by Blenkin, and Donovan caught (13o-5-2). Another

long stand followed which \∎ as broken by Greenhow, who also got Power caught off his next ball, and with Boulton taken at the wicket off Schroeder the innings was declared with the score 208 for eight wickets. Greenhow bowled very well and with very bad luck. Colley's three wickets cost ten runs apiece. With barely an hour and three-quarters to bat no risks were taken, but with only 18 on the board Tendall was bowled. Blenkin joined M.-NV. Peters, who was batting with confidence, and the score was 27 when Blenkin was bowled by a " ,hooter." Greenhow and M. W. Peters further increased the score, and Clegg also stayed in while his partner hit the bowling in all directions. With the score at 94 M. NV. Peters was caught for a splendid innings, lasting just over an hour. Colicy did not stay long, and with six wickets down and half-an-hour to play the game was not absolutely safe ; but E. C. Peters, Schroeder and Kirby all played carefully, and no other wicket fell, time being called with the total 131 for six wickets, Schroeder played very well for 24 not out, and Kirby also played steadily.

ST. PETER'S SCHOOL V. OLD PETERITES.

Played on the school ground on Thursday and Friday, June 28th and 29th. Newton won the toss and elected to bat, and Dr. Hicks and Ackroyd opened the innings. After Jones had been hit for three 3's in succession Hicks was missed in the slips, and it was not until the score had reached 34 that M. W. Peters got through his defence. Captain Mortimer did not stay long, but Newton and Ackroyd made a long stand, though Ackroyd was missed at mid-off before he had scored thirty. Newton left at 91, and Roy four runs later (95-4-0). Then followed a long partnership between Ackroyd and Yeld, though the latter might have been caught off his first ball, Jones just touching a hard chance. Profiting by this escape Yeld batted well, and with Ackroyd batting in his sual usualfinished style the school bowling was collared. It was not until Hodsman was called upon that a separation was effected, both Ackroyd and Yeld leaving in the same over. Saving one chance Ackroyd had batted faultlessly. Included in his hits were one four and zz three's. Hodsman quickly secured another victim, thus having three wickets before a run had been scored from him (184-6-3). Richards indulged in some merry hitting but soon paid the penalty (213-7-17). The end soon came after this, the total reaching 224. Hodsman had the best analysis with 5 for 25, but M. W. Peters also bowled well ; Jones, too, had bad luck. The school made a disastrous start, Roy's first ball proving fatal to M. W. Peters. Blenkin did not stay long (10-2-2). Greenhow and Tendall made a short stand, but with 28 added Roy bowled Greenhow. Clegg played steadily, and in company with Tendall the score rose steadily ; but with 6o on the board the latter was most unfortunately run out for a very steady innings (60-4-30). The Captain and Schroeder were got rid of cheaply, and Clegg was seventh out with the score 81-7- Jo. Hodsman and Kirby made a much-needed stand, Hodsman especially hitting out with confidence. However, both were out at 119, and Jones and Ede batted out time. When play was resumed on the Friday the last wicket caused considerable trouble, and finally raised the score to 155. The Old Peterites thus held the useful lead of 69. Roy proved the most successful bowler with 7 wickets for 56 runs.

CRICKET.

Ackroyd and Yeld opened the Old Boys' second venture, and put on runs at a great pace, though the latter was badly missed by Ede before he had scored twenty. However, the same player in some measure atoned for his mistake by taking a fine catch with one hand, the first wicket falling at 66. Ackroyd, after completing another splendid 50, was caught at cover, and Newton was well caught in the long field by Tendall. With the total 132 for five wickets the innings was declared, leaving the school zoz runs to get in somewhat over two hours. M. W. Peters was again dismissed before double figures had been hoisted. But Tendall and Greenhow quickly changed the complexion of the game, the latter scoring the faster of the two and making some fine strokes. When the partnership had increased the total by 59, Greenhow was bowled for a characteristic innings (66-2-29). With Hodsman in the rate of scoring did not diminish, and the z oo went up with only two wickets down. Tendall and Hodsman both left at 119. Tendall especially batted in a most praiseworthy manner, and Hodsman, though lucky, hit well. After this three more wickets fell cheaply, but Clegg and Kirby saved the situation and played out time when the school were 54. runs behind and had three wickets in hand. The game was therefore drawn in favour of the Old Boys. Full score and analysis :— OLD PETERITES.

ST. PETER'S SCHOOL V. THE YORKSHIRE GENTLEMEN.

Played on the ground of the Yorkshire Gentlemen on Wednesday, July 4th. The school played twelve a side as the Gentlemen also had an extra man. M. W. Peters and Tendall gave the school a splendid start by putting on 90 for the first wicket, when the latter unfortunately hit his wicket. Peters was also stumped just after he had completed his fifty. Both batsmen played well, and though neither innings was without blemish they deserve great credit for such an excellent display. After such a good start it was disappointing to find a collapse, and it was only a useful stand by the last wicket which brought the score to 157, Blenkin, Colley and Clegg being the only others to reach double figures.

5 20

CRICKET.

The Gentlemen had just an hour and three-quarters to get the runs, but Jones and M. W. Peters soon got three wickets down. Capt. Robertson and Capt. Edmeades effected a long stand, and the score was I oo when Hodsman bowled the first named for a hard hit 51. Mr. Green, who came next, hit at everything regardless of cost, and though he was missed at third man he managed to secure 36 out of the 58 runs put on for the fifth wicket, and made the winning hit in the last over but one. However, he was bowled in the last over, the Gentlemen thus winning a good game by six wickets. Score and analysis :ST. PETER'S SCHOOL.

ST. PETER'S SCHOOL V. LEEDS G.S. Played at Leeds on Saturday, July 7th. The home side won the toss and began batting with Charnley and Robinson, and only 15 had been scored when the latter was easily caught by Clegg. Another wicket should have fallen almost immediately, Charnley giving a sharp chance at the wicket. After this the score rose steadily until Hodsman came on and caught and bowled Stone (48-2-10. The next man, though he made zo, was three times

missed, Jones, in each case, being the bowler to suffer. With the total at 219 for six wickets the innings was declared, leaving the school an hour and three-quarters to bat. A bad start was made, Clegg being bowled by the third ball, and the score was only 16 when Tendall left. However, Greenhow and M. W. Peters played a fine game and removed any anxiety by putting on 56 for the third wicket, when Greenhow was caught at the wicket (72-3-36). Hodsman left almost immediately, but Blenkin batted steadily for twenty minutes, and when Kirby went in only twenty-five minutes remained for play. M. W. Peters, who did not give a chance, played a very steady innings, and in the end was not out. Kirby, in the last over, " having a go " and being bowled with the score at 151 for six wickets, we were thus 68 runs behind and had four wickets in hand. Score and analysis :— LEEDS G.S.

Played at Durham on Saturday, July 14th. Peters won the toss and elected to bat on a splendid wicket. M. W. Peters and Tendall were the first pair, and off the third ball the latter was

smartly taken at slip, and Greenhow was bowled at 7. Blenkin made a short stand with M. W. Peters, but Kirby was soon out (31-4-z). Clegg stayed in some time but was out just before lunch, when the score was 47-5-3. After another wicket had fallen for but one run, E. C. Peters came in, and in company with M. W. Peters, it looked as though a good stand would be made, but when 17 had been put on the Captain foolishly ran himself out in attempting an impossible run. M. W. Peters did not long survive, being the victim to an unfortunate decision. The end soon came after this, Hodsman being caught in attempting to force the pace. Durham lost three wickets before the runs were obtained, but after that the score rose rapidly, one over from Schroeder yielding 3o runs, Durand hitting seven sixes in his score of 88. M. W. Peters was the most successful bowler, and Tendall kept wicket very creditably. With the total at z89 for g wickets Durham declared. Score and analysis :— ST. PETER'S SCHOOL.

HYMER'S COLLEGE 2ND.

Played at Hull on Wednesday, June 13th. Phillips won the toss and Hendley and Shann opened the innings. After hitting Thompson to the boundary first ball Shann was beaten by the third, and Phillips played on in the next over (16-2-o). Ingham stayed with Hendley until the latter was bowled by Thompson, having made 19 of the 27 runs scored. With Ingham and Allen together a splendid stand was made, Ingham hitting out while Allen defended skilfully. After Ingham left a still more profitable partnership ensued between Allen and Penty, both scoring freely, both left with the score at 99, Allen having been in three-quarters of an hour without giving a chance. Scoby was the only one of the rest who did much, and the total reached the respectable score of 119. Hyrner's failed disastrously before the bowling of Hendley and Shann, four wickets falling for three runs, and half the side were out for 18. The latter batsmen shaped better but never looked like making the runs, and St. Peter's scored a very creditable victory by 40 runs. Score and analysis : ST. PETER'S 2ND.

CRICKET. ST. PETER'S SCHOOL 2ND V. POCKLINGTON G.S. 2ND.

The visitors won the toss and Peters and Hendley opened the attack, and after the former had been hit for two 3's, he got his revenge by bowling Jackson with his fifth ball. The next three wickets all fell to Peters, Penty taking a very good catch whereby he dismissed Marks (4.o-4.-17). The fifth wicket put up a stubborn partnership, but when Holden left the innings soon closed for the useful total of 83. The school made a bad start, Hendley and Peters both leaving with but five runs scored. Phillips and Shann had a short partnership, but half the side were out for lg. However, Shann and Penty made a great effort to turn the tide, but when Shann left all chance was gone, and though Penty played very well he could get no one to stay with him. Pocklington thus had the useful lead of z6 runs. When Pocklington entered on their second innings runs came quickly, and with the total at 148 for 7 the innings was declared, leaving St. Peter's 175 runs to win. This they quite failed to get, Groves, Phillips, and Ingham alone playing with confidence, the rest could only total two amongst them, Pocklington eventually winning by 1 1 6 runs.

G.S. 2ND. Played on the school ground on Saturday, July 7th. Colley won the toss and Hendley and Groves opened the batting. A splendid start was made, the first wicket putting on 42 before Hendley was well caught by Bateman. Groves left four runs later for a sound innings (46-2-23). Peters and Colley did not do much, and when Phillips left half the side were out for 67. Ingham now came to the rescue but it looked as though he would get no one to stay with him, and eight were out for 76. However, Scoby made a splendid stand, and with Ingham playing a good game the 10o was sent up with only eight men out, but with the total only increased by one Scoby was caught and bowled for an invaluable innings, and Ingham also was dismissed directly afterwards for a useful innings. The score thus reached the fair total of 101. Leeds made a bad start, two wickets falling in Hendley's first over and Bateman was third out at 16. However, the later batsmen proved more successful, and with eight men out for go the game became exciting, but Leeds managed to pass our total with two wickets in hand, and eventually won a good game by 16 runs.

ST. PETER'S 2ND V. DURHAM SCHOOL 2ND.

Played on the school ground on Saturday, July 14.th. The visitors won the toss, and with only four runs scored Cowgill was well caught by Groves, and at nine Hinde was lbw., and another good catch by Groves disposed of Maynard. Only two of the Durham side managed to reach double figures, and the innings closed for the poor score of 59. The Second fielding was distinctly good, no fewer than eight catches being held. The bowling also was splendid. Groves and Hendley opened the school batting, and though the latter opened shakily, runs came at a fair pace until Groves was bowled at 21. Colley added the next eight runs before being similarly treated by Dodd (29-2-8). After Wood had left at 39 the runs were hit off with seven wickets in hand, Hendley making the winning hit. Hendley was out at 98 for a useful innings, though lucky, he played well when set. The school innings was by no means at an end, for with Shann and Scoby

5 27

together, the score rose quickly, and after 36 had been put on for the eighth wicket Scoby was bowled for a very steady innings c, 134-8-6). Shann and Penty had another good partnership, and when Rickell came in Shann had made 42. However he was not destined to add to his score, as after Rickell had made two good hits, Shann was caught and bowled for an admirable innings. The school thus won a most creditable victory by io6 runs. Score and analysis :— ST. PETER'S 2ND.

By winning this match the School House retained the cup for the fifth successive year, but as the Dayboys had only four members of the first eleven, they can be congratulated on making such a good fight.

FIRST XI. CHARACTERS. Captain (19o3-4-5-6) has no doubt suffered through the injury to his hand, as he has not done himself justice either with the bat or in the field. As a bowler he has been useful at times. M. T. CLEGG (1904-5-6) seems to be quite out of luck. Requires a great deal of practice at the net to gain confidence. His bowling has often a good deal in it, but it requires a good fielding side. He should be taken off early if he does not get his length, and should never be made to bowl too long. M. W. PETERS (594-5-6). A really good cricketer. A steady bat with plenty of strokes, and a distinctly useful bowler with a good length. He might, however, do without some of his long run before bowling. In the field he saves a great many runs, and would make a good pattern for the rest of the team to follow in this respect. E. N. GREENHOW (1904-5-6) has not come up to expectations. With more defence he would make a lot of runs, as he has good strokes. Has proved a good change howler. A very fair field. E. C. PETERS,

As a bowler he has been invaluable, and if he had been backed up by a good fielding side the results of our matches would have been very different. He keeps an excellent length and will make a really good bowler. J. A. KIRBY (19o5-6) lacks confidence as a bat. A very fair fielder. D. EDE (1905-6) wants a great deal of net practice. He E. showed last year that he had plenty of cricket in him. Must learn to cover more ground in the field. C. S. TENDALL (1906) has often done very good work for his side. Has a cramped style in batting, but can hit a bad ball. A useful fielder. J. E. HODSMAN (1906) must try and get more defence in batting, as he can hit hard and has a good eye. Has been useful as a bowler, and with practice will make a good out fielder. F. G. SCHROEDER ( 1 906) must take cricket more seriously, and cannot expect to come to the front without hard work. Might make a very good bat with care, and he has been very useful to his side at times. He should learn to cover more ground in the field, and must always remember that a run saved is worth as much as a run made. J. N. BLENKIN

SCHOOL RECORDS AND REGISTERS. The morrow's fate forbear to ask. Whatever day is brought by chance Make use of, nor despise the task That love allots, nor vet the dance. Thou'st still a boy : thy strength doth yield Not yet to crabbed age : so list To lonely walks by town and field And gentle whispers at the tryst. Sweet now the laugh of lurking maid, Betrayer of her hiding place. Sweet, too, the pledge half willing paid, Designed her hand or arm to grace.

AN IDEAL. Why gaze upon the rose-bud's blush, Why praise the lily's grace, When fairer than their dewy flush, Dear Kitty, is thy face. Dear Kitty, whom those sparkling eyes Like glistening stars adorn, Which from the ocean take their rise To herald forth the morn. To me, as oft I muse on thee, It seems that beauty rare Shines in thy face, while laughter free And merriment is there. ANON.

CORRIGENDA. -It is pointed out that the Rev. Jas. Butler (ante p. 1_99), who was an assistant-master at the school in 1841, did not take his degree at Oxford until 1836 and probably joined after this date.

ST. OLAVE'S SCHOOL. The School Sports were held on Tuesday. June 12th. As is usual, this function was favoured with a delightful summer day, and a large number of the parents and friends of the boys and others interested in the school assembled to stimulate the small boys in their youthful athletic endeavours. All who had entered turned out for each race, and there were several very close finishes, which made the duties of the judges, Mr. A. B. Norwood and Mr. J. Greenwood, by no means easy. The starting was most ably and expeditiously done by Mr. E. G. C. Green and the Rev. C. T. Alexander. Prizes for the various events were kindly given by Mrs. A. C. Ferguson (Thirsk), Mrs. J. T. Grey, Miss Wilson, the Rev. C. T. Alexander, the Rev. E. C. Owen, Captain Hendley, Messrs. H. S. Allen, C. A. Cooper, W. A. Hargraves, G. Lowis, A. B. Norwood, S. B. Norwood, R. S. Rose and H. R. Trotter. Miss Owen most generously gave a cap for the " Victor Ludorum." At the close of the sports the prizes were graciously distributed by Mrs. Boyle, to whom, to the prize-givers, and to the judges and starters, the heartiest thanks of the boys are given. The following are the results.5° Yards Flat Race (under 9). 1st — Bell ; 2nd J. M. Ferguson. So Yards flat Race (under I I). 1 st L. C. Jesper ; and — Long. 1st G. W.
