SCHOOL LETTER. NCE more the glad season of Christmas-tide has come round, and everyone is looking forward to the holidays—which are now very near— and dreaming of mince pies and other delightful things. Our long record of good health has apparently been altogether too much for the Fates, and, sad to relate, we have been visited by the measles. There are several people in the sanatorium and a few dayboys have succumbed. Our heartiest sympathy to them ! Wild hopes of an earlier breaking-up were entertained by some people, but we are braving the term out to the very end. The big concert, alas ! has had to be postponed. But let us revert to brighter topics. There have been two lectures this term. On Saturday, October 20th, Mr. Spence very kindly gave us an account of the history of Glass-making, and on Saturday, Dec. 1st, the Headmaster gave a lecture on Oxford. An account of these may be found elsewhere. The XV. have had a fairly successful season and are now having some luck--Dame Fortune having been unkind to us in several matches at the beginning of the term. We are sorry to say that several old .friends are leaving us at the end of the term. We bid them good-bye and hope that success will attend on them wherever they go. Our news is now exhausted and so we will end up, as usual, by wishing all our readers " a very Happy Christmas and a Bright New Year."

CAMBRIDGE LETTER.

EDITORIAL NOTICE. Owing to some misunderstanding, the numbers of the Pete•ite 159, 160, 161, 162, 163 for the year 1903 have been lost. We beg to ask our readers to try and supply us with the missing numbers. It would be a great pity if any number should be wanting in the bound volumes, which are quite complete since the year 1878.

CAMBRIDGE LETTER. DEAR EDITORS, On reading your (certainly most polite) demand for another Cambridge letter, I could not help feeling that once more the old words " Quo plus habent, eo plus cupiunt," had been proved to be true. Your desire for Cambridge news is, no doubt, very laudable, but I should have thought that after such a careful and detailed expression of it as you printed in your last issue, even the most greedy would have been satisfied. But it seems that it is not so. We were glad to have a visit from Greenhow and Kirby, a week or two ago, from Oxford, and feel sure they went away deeply impressed with the superiority of things over here : they didn't S. R. say anything, but they probably thought the more. Harrison also has been up for a Rugger match. Roy deserves our heartiest sympathy—he has had an attack of that most painful and distressing malady, influenza, which of course kept him from the footer-field and all other fields for some days. However, after a vigorous application of what Yeats, I believe, describes as the " sweating system," he seems to be better, and his beaming face and fleet feet were once more conspicuous in the Jesus three-quarter line on Saturday last. He, with Phillips, bewails the fact that in less than six months their Triposes begin.

CAMBRIDGE LETTER.

Fisher is of course the mainstay of the Sidney Rugger team ; and a few days last week he was to be seen in an eight on the river on enquiry I discovered that the official title of this was the Sidney Rugger Boat." I think they were rowing, but should not like to say definitely. Yeats is, as usual, in great form. From various disconnected remarks I was able to gather that the whole of his athletic attention is being absorbed by the Caius Hockey team, for which he is playing back. Peters, as you know, still forms a sturdy half for Christ's : it is said that at least five men whom he has met in that capacity in matches are bitterly regretting that they ever consented to play against him. 'I'endall I can never find at home, but they say that his usual success in the footer-field is still attending him, and that he also rows. Phillips and fives generally go together, so it would be a pity to separate them on this occasion. He is generally to be found cheering the Emmanuel Bugger team on to victory, and declares that this has had much to do with the remarkable success that the side has met with this term. Perhaps it has My task is over. Please forgive the many faults and omissions. Ever yours, X.Y.Z.

THE BIRTH OF SONG.

THE BIRTH OF SONG. The Master-builder had finished his work in the ages long ago, And the sun shone down on the haunts of men, where the cooling rivers flow ; And they laughed for joy, and they wept for grief, and they hunted and fought and woo'd, And it seemed to their childish minds they were set in a world that was very good. But the sounds of earth went up to heaven, and the Master-builder sighed ; And then, as he bent his ear to hear, " there is one thing lacking," he cried, " Not laughter and sport and tears all joys and sorrows of life embrace : " There is one more guerdon I owe to man—I have made a songless race." And thus to the maiden spirit of song the Master-builder spake, " Go down, 0 spirit of song, to earth, and bid man's soul awake." And swift and glad the maiden, sped, and into his life she wove, As she softly touched his lips and heart, the thread of the songs above. Then the swain to the maiden sang of his love, and the lonely shepherd sang : And the warrior marching to war took heart as the voice of the trumpet rang : And the mourner's sorrow was soothed with song : and the birds as they soared on high, In answer to man's new song, their lays all carolled more joyously. And king and peasant, and youth and age, together the anthem raise, With lyre and lute and the organ's tones all swelling the hymn of praise. And on high the Master-builder paused, as he toiled at his work alone, And his heart was glad to hear, and he spake, " 0 spirit of song, well done."

PUBLIC SCHOOLS ASSOCIATION.

BRITISH PUBLIC SCHOOLS ASSOCIATION. An influential committee has been appointed in London to co-operate with the committee of the Headmasters' Conference in England, in order to assist the British Public Schools Association in Montreal to carry forward its useful work. The members of the London committee are : Lord Strathcona and Mount Royal, Hon. F. A. Brassey, and Dr. George Robert Parkin, C.M.G., Rhodes' Scholarship Trust. The association assists young men from the British public schools who come to Canada, by advice and by letters of introduction, both in Montreal, and as far as possible, in affiliated centres at the chief cities. Those who desire to avail themselves of the kind offices of the association must be provided with letters of introduction and references from their old schools, so that only men of good character will be helped forward. No financial assistance will be given, and no guarantee of employment can be offered. Many young men come to this country ignorant of its conditions, and without friends or references. Many of these men fail to find what they seek, merely for want of a timely helping hand. Such failure the association will endeavour to prevent, and such help will strive to give. Those who desire further information should communicate with the secretary of the association, at the McGill Union, Sherbrooke Street, Montreal. The case for the association stands thus : The future of Canada must depend largely upon those who have yet to come to the country. It is desirable to attract capable men of good character, and the better the man the better the position he should ultimately reach. Waste products are not desired in Canada, either from the cities of Europe or from the big English schools. The present organization, so warmly recognized and supported in England, promises to be a channel, by means of which, men of character and promise will come to the Dominion and take their place as good Canadians.

FOOTBALL.

FOOTBALL. ST. PETER'S SCHOOL V. ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE.

Played on the school ground on October 13th. St. John's kicked off and soon gained a good position, but our forwards, with Here the a good dribble, brought the ball into St. John's " 25." school backs got possession, a certain try being lost owing to one of our three-quarters retaining the ball too long. St. John's forwards, after this, took play into our " 25." Here, one of the opponents' three-quarters raced over our line and scored a try, which was converted. From the re-start, the school pressed and were awarded a free-kick, but no scare resulted Here, Mr. Squire got away on the wing, but was overhauled by one of the St. John's men. Play continued to be very even and soon halftime was called : St. John's, 5 pts. to School School, nil. The second half was in favour of St. John's. One of their three-quarters got away on the wing, but Scoby collared him finely near our line. School tried hard to relieve, but could not. Here Scott scored a try for St. John's, the goal kick failing. St John's Continued to press until Phillips relieved 'with .a good kick into touch. This relief was only temporary, for St. John's soon pressed, and a good run by a St. John's three-quarter resulted in a try, the goal kick failing. Soon after, time was called, and a keen game ended in St. John's favour. Score :—St. John's College, 11 pts, St. Peter's, nil. Comments. The forwards did not play with enough dash, whilst the backs were not determined enough in their attack. The following represented the school :Back, W. Ingham ; three quarters, S. W. Penty, M. W. Peters (capt.), S. G. Squire, J. R. Scoby ; half backs, J. E. Hodsman and B. T. Groves ; forwards, W. H. Colley, A. A. Phillips, M. T. Clegg, D. H. Kennedy, R. 0. Husband, E. D. Ede, R. D. Foster, G. D. Shann. -

ST. PETER'S SCHOOL V. DURHAM SCHOOL. Played on the school ground on Saturday, October 20th. Durham kicked off down-hill. Our forwards, by means of rushes,

FOOTBALL.

kept Durham on the defensive for some time. A good dribble by Durham ended in a try, the kick failing. Not long after, a Durham back scored, but the try was not converted. Groves was conspicuous for good kicking. Roberts got away, but was magnificently tackled by Ingham. Half-time scores :—Durham, 6 pts. ; York, nil. In the second half the defence of the York backs became very weak. Horsley dropped a goal. York kicked off and the Durham forwards, getting the ball, were allowed to run clean through and score. The kick failed. Roberts scored twice in succession, both tries being converted. Picking up from a line out, Heads dodged through and scored, the goal being kicked. Time came with the score :Durham School, 4 goals (1 dropped) 3 tries ; St. Peter's School, nil. COMMENTS. —The school backs played a poor game, their tackling being weak and they often failed to pick the ball up in the loose. The scrum halves were too slow in getting to their man, and so failed to spoil enough. The outstanding features were the magnificent play of Ingham at back, and the good work done by the forwards, of whom Kennedy shone most. Roberts played a splendid game for Durham. We congratulate him on being chosen as first reserve for Northumberland. The following represented the school :W. Ingham ; three-quarters, S. W. Back, Penty, M. W. Peters (capt.), J. R Scoby, G. D. Shann ; half-backs, J. E. Hodsman, B. T. Groves, D. Anderson ; forwards, W. H. Colley, A. A. Phillips, M. T. Clegg, D. H. Kennedy, R. 0. Husband, E. D. Ede, R. D. ioster. ST. PETER'S SCHOOL V. RIPON GRAMMAR SCHOOL.

Played on the school ground on Saturday. October 27th. Phillips kicked off uphill, and almost immediately Peters made an opening for Penty, who scored, the kick failing. Shortly after, one of the Ripon three-quarters sprained his ankle and retired. An excellent run by Peters ended in his scoring a try between the posts, and pla,ing the goal. From a line-out Clegg broke away, but was tackled into touch. From the line-out the York forwards

FOOTBALL.

heeled out, and the ball travelling along the three-quarter line, Penty scored, Peters converting. Phillips scored soon after, but failed to kick the goal. The York backs now became very careless, no less than three players crossing the Ripon line and losing the ball. After some scrambling play Groves picked up and passed to Clegg, who ran over and scored. The kick failed. A dribble by Colley ended in Groves scoring. Peters converted. Half-time came with the scores :York, 24 pts. ; Ripon. nil. Scoby opened the scoring for York. The kick failed. Colley and Clegg dribbled well, and again Scoby scored. Clegg improved. Shortly after Peters scored and converted. After a good run from half-way, Anderson scored, Colley failing with the kick, - Peters again scored and converted. Shaun and Phillips both scored, neither of the tries being converted. Soon Phillips added another try, which he converted. Peters scored and converted after running right through his opponents from half-way. Time was called with the scores :St. Peter's School, 8 goals 7 tries (61 pts.) ; Ripon G.S., nil. The following represented the school :Back, W. Ingham ; three-quarters, S. W. Penty M. W. Peters (capt.), G. D. Shane, J. R. Scoby ; half-backs, J. E. Ilodsman, B. T Groves, D. Anderson ; ./Grwards, W. II. Colley. A. A. Phillips, M. T. Clegg, D H. Kennedy, E. D. Ede, R. D Foster, J. Ramsdeu. ST. PETER'S SCHOOL V. LEEDS GRAMMAR SCHOOL. Played at Leeds on Wednesday, October 31st Owing to the bad weather of the early part of the week, the ground was in a very bad condition, and back play was impossible. St. Peter's won the toss and played down-hill. Immediately after the kick-off play was taken into the Leeds " 25," and after some fast play Phillips scored. The kick failed Very even play then ensued, till Penty made a good run and just failed to cross the line. Then Leeds broke away, and after some passing among their three-quarters, Robinson scored. The try was converted. York again pressed; and some hard play took place near the

FOOTBALL.

Leeds line, after which, Hodsman got possession and passed to Scoby, who scored far out, the kick failing. From the drop out Leeds pressed hard, but good play by Penty brought the game back to their " 25," and soon Hodsman scored a try, which Clegg converted. Leeds kicked off, but were again forced back to their own line, and from a scrummage Hodsrnan passed to Penty, who scored far out. The try was not converted. Half-time was called with the score :— St. Peter's School, 14 pts. ; Leeds Grammar School, 5 pts. On resuming Phillips kicked off, and following up, gained possession of the ball, and after a series of rushes, scored a try, the goal kick failing. Leeds next attacked vigorously, and for ten minutes very hard forward play took place in the York "25." The York forwards then went away with a good rush, headed by Colley, who, in company with Clegg and Ramsden, afterwards made a good dribble.' Leeds checked the York forwards, but Ingham relieved with a good kick. Play was then taken into the Leeds " 25," and good work was done by Anderson and Penty. From loose play Phillips got possession and again scored, the kick _failing. Leeds retaliated by pressing hard, and after scrambling play, scored a try, which was not converted. Shortly after, time was called with the score :— St. Peter's School, 22 pts. ; Leeds Grammar School, 8 pts. The following represented the school :—

Back, W. Ingham ; three-quarters, S. W. Penty, M. W. Peters (capt.), G. I). Shane, J. R. Scoby ; half-backs, J. E. Hodsman, B. T. Groves, D. Anderson ; forwards, W. H. Colley, A. A. Phillips, M. T. Clegg, D. H. Kennedy. E. D. Ede, R. D. Foster, J. Ramsden. ST. PETER'S SCHOOL, YORK, V. G. CROWTHER, ESQ.'S XV. Played on the school ground on Saturday, November 3rd, in wet weather. The school kicked off down-hill and play followed in the centre. The visitors soon pressed and almost scored. However, good defensive work was done by Groves and Scoby. The school then rushed the ball to the visitors' line, but the slippery state

FOOTBALL.

of the ball prevented accurate passing. Peters made a good run and was just tackled on the line. Soon after, Groves was tackled in an unnecessarily rough manlier. He fell on his head and had to retire immediately. His absence was greatly felt throughout the rest of the game. Fairly even play followed, each side failing to place a goal from a free-kick. Shortly before half-time one of the opposing halves, unmarked, ran over and scored, the kick failing. Half-time scores :G. Crowther's XV., 3 pts ; School, nil. The second half was mainly conspicuous for the play of the school forwards. Although much over-weighted, they played with a dash that quite surprised their opponents, and saved , the situation over and over again. There was a good deal of play in the centre, but after a time the visitors pressed, and Kennedy was called upon to save. Good foot xvork by Colley, Clegg and Phillips took the ball to half-way, and from a heel-out Penty nearly scored. The school pressed but -failed to score, the loss of Groves being greatly felt,. as the ball was not whipped out to the three-quarters quickly enough. •‘ No side " was called soon, the scores being : G. Crowther's XV., 3 pts. ; St. Peter's School, nil. The following represented the school :Tack, W. Ingham ; three-quarters, S. W. Penty, M. W. Peters (rapt.), S. G. Squire, J. R Seoby half-backs, J. E. Hodsman, B. T. Groves, D. Anderson ; forwards, W. H. Colley, A. A. Phillips, M. T. Clegg, D. H. Kennedy, E. D. Ede, R. D. Foster, J. Ramsdeu. ST. PETER'S SCHOOL V. LEEDS G.S. Played at York. Leeds won the toss and elected to play down the slope. Phillips kicked off, and the first few minutes play was very even until a splendid opening by Richards ended in Hodsman scoring, Peters making a good attempt at goal. On the restart the York forwards were irresistable, and a neat dribble by Foster nearly ended in a score. Then Phillips broke away but was unable to pass the Leeds full-back. The attack however was sustained and Penty scored, Peters converting. Surprised by these early reverses the Leeds forwards put a little more vigour

FOOTBALL.

into their work, and ciime dangerously near the home line on one or two occasions, but, before long, smart footwork by Colley, Husband and Foster relieved the pressure, and Scoby made an ineffectual attempt to score Give and take play followed for some time and then Leeds again attacked, but Groves brought relief with a useful kick, and once again the school attacked, with the result that Penty ran in, Peters kicking a good goal. Subsequently Groves saved well when York were defending, and good dribbling by Foster, Kennedy and Clegg, relieved the pressure. FrOm a scrum near the Leeds " 25," Groves obtained possession, and, outwitting the opposing halves, scored under the posts, Peters converting. Hardly had Leeds kicked off when Kennedy obtained from a line-out, and after a good run scored behind the posts, Clegg adding the major points. Half-time was then called : York 4 goals, 1 try (23 pts.), Leeds nil. From the kick-off York at once took up the running, and Peters scored after a fast run, the same player adding the goal. At this point the York forwards dribbled in fine style and overwhelmed their opponents. From a nice pass by Richards, Scoby ran in, Clegg failing with the kick. A temporary break away by Leeds off a was nullified by a neat dribble by Peters. .._...g_IE12Lbrought In1 good tackle when a Leeds forward broke away, and a fast dribble by Coley, Clegg, and Peters, took play to near the Leeds line, when Leeds tried to break away Peters proved a stumbling block to them. After Groves had failed to get over, Penty scored, and Clegg converted. Husband dribbled well, and smart passing by the York "1 " ended in Penty scoring again. The goal kick was a failure. Richards tackled the Leeds full back in possession, and a dribble by Husband resulted in Phillips scoring, the same player failing to improve. Husband next scored, after a good dribble by Peters. Clegg failed at goal. From a scrum on the line Peters pushed his way over, no goal resulting. After some scrambling play in the Leeds " 25," during which Leeds were forced to touch down, Peters scored behind the posts after a good run, Clegg failing with the kick. Result : St. Peter's School, 6 goals, 7 tries (51 points) ; Leeds G. S., nil. The following represented the sch000l :—Back, W. Ingham ; three-quarters, S. W. Penty, J. E. Hodsman, C. W. Richards, J. R. Scoby ; half-backs, M. W. Peters (capt ), B. T. Groves, D Anderson ; forwards, W. H. Colley, A. A. Phillips, M. T. Clegg, D. H. Kennedy, R. 0. F. Husband, E. D. Ede, R. D. Foster.

FOOTBALL ST. PETER'S SCHOOL V. 0-IGIGLESWIOIC.

Played at Giggleswick on Saturday, November 10th. The school were without M. T. Clegg at forward. This match was a great disappointment to the school. We expected to win and our hopes were not without reason. Giggleswick kicked off, and soon from a scrum Anderson passed to Penty who scored far out. The kick failed. After play in which York did most of the pressing a Giggleswick back got away and scored, the kick failing. Halftime scores : St. Peter's School 3 pts., GiggleswiCk 3 pts. In the second half the York forwards completely out-played the opposing eight. However, Giggleswick managed to score two tries, one of which was converted. The final scores were : Giggleswick School 1 goal 2 tries (11 pts.), St. Peter's School 1 try (3 pts.). COMMENTS :—The school backs did not play at all well ; but perhaps this may be accounted for by the fact that the GiggleSwick backs invariably stood off-side. This of course, to our minds, lost us the game. It seems extraordinary that Giggleswick only managed to beat Leeds by 6 pts.-0, while we scored 51 pts.-0.

The following represented the school :— Pack: W. Ingham ; three-quarters, S. W. Penty, M . W. Peters(capt), G. D. Sham', J. H. Scoby ; half-backs, J. E Hodsman, B. T. Groves, 1). Anderson ; forwards, W. H. Colley, A. A. Phillips, D. II. Kennedy, R. 0. F. Husband, E. D. Ede, R. D. Foster, J. Ramsden.

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

Played at Durham on Saturday, November 17th. Durham kicked off and soon Taylor getting possession scored, C. Thompson converting. Durham again pressed, but Scoby made a good run to the centre. Some even play followed. Eventually from a pass Scoby got possession and running from half-way scored an excellent try, which Peters converted. For some unknown reason the York backs now became unsteady, and a Durham back scored, the kick failing. Another try was registered, the try being converted. Ingham brought off several splendid tackles. Then

FOOTBALL.

Heads dropped a good goal for Durham. York were again on the defensive but Groves relieved, and Penty, Kennedy, and Ingham tackled in good style. At this point one of the Durham forwards was hurt, and retired. Half-time came with the scores : Durham 17 pts., York 5 pts. From the kick-off the York forwards pressed, but the Durham pack rushed the ball into the York " 25," and Durand scored a good try, which was converted. From this point the York forwards proved superior to their opponents. After a good forward rush, . Phillips picked up and handing off the full-back, scored.. Peters converted with an excellent kick, the ball being greasy and heavy, as a drizzle had begun. Shortly after Peters made a fine dribble and outpaced all opposition, but unfortunately the ball went over the dead-line when a certain try seemed imminent. Durham were shortly after compelled to kick over the dead-line. " No-side" was called with the scores :Durham School 4 goals (t dropped), 1 try (22 pts.). St. Peter's School 2 goals (10 pts.). COMMENTS. —The school played an excellent game and had very hard luck in not scoring more than they did. The forwards all played well, and although lighter than the Durham pack, more than held their own in the loose. Amongst the backs In liana, Kennedy and Penty tackled well, and Peters and Groves were conspicuous for their kicking. Scoby ran well. The following represented the school :-Back, W. Ingham; three quarters, J. R. Scoby, C. W. Richards, D. H. Kennedy, S. W. Penty ; lag backs, M. W. Peters (capt.), B. T. Groves, D. Anderson ; jorwards, W. H. Colley, A. A. Phillips, M. T. Clegg, R. O. F. Husband, E. D. Ede, R. D. Foster, J. Ramsden. -

ST. PETER'S SCHOOL V. KING'S SCHOOL, GRANTHAM.

On Saturday, November 24th, the XV. journeyed to Grantham. We were without Hodsman, Peters playing in his place, while Kennedy was again out of the scrum at centre three-quarters. Grantham won the toss and selected to play with sun and wind. Phillips kicked off for York, and play immediately settled down in

FOOTBALL.

the Grantham half. From a scrum York heeled out, and after the ball had been handled by Groves, Peters, Richards and Scoby, the latter ran in and scored, the kick failing. Shortly after Peters dodged through behind the posts, and converted. Some more combination resulted in Scoby scoring a try, which was not improved upon. Peters again- scored a good try by an individual effort, but failed to convert. Immediately after, Peters made an opening for Kennedy, who scored near the posts, Clegg converting. Half-time was called with the score (19-0) in our favour. Peters opened the scoring in the second half, running from halfway. An easy kick was missed. Kennedy next dashed over the line for Peters to convert. Shortly after Clegg made an excellent dribble and had hard luck in not scoring. From an ensuing scrum Groves slipped over, Peters again converting. Immediately after, Kennedy scored his third try, which was not improved upon. Some good combination let Scoby in, and Richards also scored soon after, Peters converting both tries. Grantham now took play to the York line, but a forward rush headed by Phillips placed us on the attack. Time was called after this, the scores being :St. Peter's School 6 goals 5 tries (45 pts.), King's School, Grantham, nil. COMMENTS.—The school pressed throughout but did not give an exhibition of good football. In fact the play was by no means up to the usual standard. The following represented the school :— Back, W. Ingham ; three-quarters, J. R. Scoby, C. W. Richards, D. H. Kennedy, S. W. Penty ; halfbacks, M. W. Peters (capt.), B. T. Groves, D. Anderson ; forwards, W. H. Colley, A. A. Phillips, M. T. Clegg, R. 0. F. Husband, E. D. Ede, R. D. Foster, J. Ramsden. ST. PETER'S SCHOOL v. LEEDS UNIVERSITY. Played on the school ground on Saturday, December 1st, in windy weather. The school lost the toss and Phillips kicked off up-hill against sun and wind. The school immediately pressed and the University were forced to touch down. The University then pressed, but a free-kick relieved matters. Shortly after

FOOTBALL.

Richards effected a good save. A free kick to Leeds proved unsuccessful. Groves then made a good dribble into the University " 25," where a free kick was given against the school. Richards returned well into touch. From a scrum near the school " 25," the University backs got going and scored, the try being converted. After the restart Leeds again pressed, and Squire tackled the wing man splendidly. The York forwards then made a rush and Colley after an excellent dribble kicked across to the right, for Squire to take the ball on and score a well-deserved try. The kick failed. Half-time came with the scores : Leeds University 5 pts., St. Peter's School 3 pts. Leeds soon began to press after the kick-off, and from a line-out on the York line their " tall " forward got possession and dropped over the line. The try being converted. The weight of the eight University forwards now began to tell on the School seven, and they soon scored another try. Ingham was conspicuous for a brilliant tackle and shortly after saved well at the feet of the Leeds forwards. The School forwards took play back to the centre, but a Leeds three-quarter got possession and after a brilliant run scored a try which was converted. After this the School made a hot attack on the University line, and were still pressing when •` no side " was called, the scores being : Leeds University 3 goals 1 try (19 pts.), St. Peter's School 1 try (3 pts.). COMMENTS.—The school met the strongest side they have played so far. The eight University forwards were much heavier than our pack, and always got possession in the tight scrummages. In the loose, however, our forwards were superior, and played well together. Colley was quite the best forward on the field. The backs got through a tremendous amount of tackling and did very well, on the whole. The following represented the school :Back, W. Ingham three-quarters, S. G. Squire, J. R. Scoby, C. W. Richards, S. W. Penty half-backs, M. W. Peters (capt.), B. T. Groves, D. Anderson forwards, W. H. Colley, A. A. Phillips, M. T. Clegg, D. H. Kennedy, H. 0. F. Husband, E. D. Ede, R. D. Foster. Referee, G. F. Tendall, Esq.

FOOTBALL.

ST. PETER'S SCHOOL 2ND XV. v. RIPON G.S. 2ND XV. Played on the Ripon G.S. ground, October 27th. Wallace kicked off up-hill. Ripon started almost immediately to press. Taylor relieved with a good kick. After some keen play in the Ripon quarter, 'ferment ran well and passed to Rickell, who scored. The kick failed. Then., after the kick-off, it seemed to be one long procession over the Ripon line, the scorers being Richards, Tennent (5) tries, three of which Mills converted with good kicks. Half-time came with the score : 27 pts. to nil in our favour. The second half was a repetition of the first half. We had to enter on the second half without the services of Rickell, who had been hurt soon after the re-start of the game. The scorers in the second half were Taylor, Richards, Tennent (3), Bulmer, Wells. The converters were Wallace (3), Mills (2) One of Tennent's tries was particularly good ; he ran the whole length - of the field and scored under the posts. Time was called with the score :St. Peter's School 2nd XV., 59 pts. ; Ripon G S. 2nd XV., nil. ST. PETER'S SCHOOL 2ND v. DURHAM SCHOOL 2ND. Nov. 17th, 1906. This match was played on the School ground in boisterous weather. York won the toss and elected to play with the wind. Durham kicked off and pressed -almost immediately, but Hammond saved well and averted a score. Scrambling play followed which resulted in Durham scoring a try, the hick et goal being successful, (nil-5 pts.) After the kick off, the York forwards went away with a rush, in which Wallace, Newton, and Schroeder were prominent. From a scrum Taylor got possession and ran splendidly, being pulled down not far from the Durham line. But this pressure was only temporary, for the Durham forwards soon got away with the ball at their feet. Hammond, however, picking up, kicked well into touch Durham continued to press, but Shaun relieved with a good kick into touch. After the line out Durham made a mark and a three-quarter scored, the try not being converted, (nil-8 pts.) Scrums followed the kick off, and from one of these the Durham backs again got possession and scored, the kick at goal again being unsuccessful, (nil-1 1 pts.) At this juncture half-time was called, leaving the score : Durham, 11 pts. School, nil.

On re-starting, a good dribble by Charnley, and good work by Tennent, brought the ball into the Durham " 25," but their forwards got possession and took the ball to our line, where one of them scored, but the kick failed (nil-14 pts.). After the drop a scrum on the School line followed and the Durham right wing scored, but the try was not converted (nil-17 pts.) Soon after this York were awarded a free kick, and Newton kicked well into touch. Durham again pressed, however, but Hammond relieved well, and from the line-out Schroeder and Wallace were conspicuous in a good forward dribble. But this again was only temporary, for soon the Durham backs got away and their left wing scored, but they failed to convert (nil 20 pts.). Some loose play followed the drop out and Durham again scored, the kick being again unsuccessful (nil-23 pts.). After the drop out a scrum ensued, from which the Durham half scored, and this goal was kicked (nil-28 pts.). After this try play continued in our 25," and after a Durham forward had scored another unconverted try (nil-31 pts.), time was called, leaving the score at : Durham School 2nd, 31 pts., St. Peter's School 2nd, nil. -

ST. OLAVE'S SCHOOL. FOOTBALL. On Saturday, October 27th, a match was played with the boys of Clifton College, Harrogate. The result was a win by the Harrogate team by 4 goals to 1. The game was well contested throughout ; the Olavites having quite as much of the play as their opponents. though they were unable to score. On Saturday, November 17th, a team of Mr. Lempriere's boys was encountered at the Red House, Marston Moor. The match resulted in a win for S. Olave's by 6 goals to 4. The youngsters of both teams deserve the highest praise for the plucky way in which they played through the first half in a violent storm of wind and rain. In this half of the game the Olavites scored their 6 goals to their opponents nil. In the second half, which was played in finer weather, with a much lighter wind, " Red House " scored 4 goals to S. Olave's nil,

MUSICAL SOCIETY.

The age limit at Harrogate was 14, and at Marston Moor 13. On Saturday, December 1st, a match was played against the Minster Yard School, which resulted in a win for St. Olave's by 4 goals to 3. In this game the St. Olave's boys did not distinguish themselves. Their combination was very faulty and their passing weak and inaccurate. The very good defence of llamsden and Hargraves at back and of Mould in goal saved the game for them. The return with Mr. Reinhardt's boys will be played on Saturday, December 15th. Those with Harrogate and Marston Moor have unfortunately been postponed until next term.

MUSICAL SOCIETY. In the music of the School this term, unfortunately sickness has played a prominent part At the first Concert the Band was so depleted that the Programme had to be altered, and the second Concert fixed for Dec. 1 7th has had to be postponed until next term, owing to the fact that " measles " seems to prefer a musical boy as a victim, and has carried off ten members of the Choir. This is most unfortunate, as it leaves us very little to comment on, and gives us no " data " from which we can estimate the musical life of the School. We hear that the Lower School are spending their time over Catches and Rounds (a most excellent and interesting introduction to Part Singirig), and also over old English Songs—they sang us two charming and to us unknown examples of these at our Concert. We also hear on a Monday afternoon strains from the band in the Hall, practising Mozart's Overture to " Don Giovanni " and other beautiful compositions, but the " Measles " have prevented us froni judging whether the music would be as beautiful in execution as in composition. The choir we have with us every day—sometimes they please us and sometimes they disappoint. We have lost in Schroeder i„

LECTURES.

Peters i. and Schroeder ii., our leading members of last year, but the younger members are coming on and learning to realise their own importance With regard to the Concert—Mr. Gedge sang us some charming songs—Lisa Lehmann's "My heart when young," and two Lyrics by Hubert Parry—Clegg played us a Violin Solo with much taste—he has improved a great deal and the choir sang some part songs. Of soloists we had none, but we hear the sounds of deep and strenuous voices from various parts of the school when all else is still, so doubtless there is a treat in store for us before long.

LECTURES. On Saturday, October the 20th, Mr. M. Spence gave us an interesting lecture on " The History and Art of Glass-making." The lecturer said that glass-making was one of the earliest known industries, and seemed to have been first practiced by the Egyptians. The glass made in Egypt was opaque and coloured, . and very rarely transparent. The method of its manufacture was shown by several slides, representing drawings of the process which have been found on the walls of Egyptian tomes. Under the Pharaohs, Egyptian glass was exported to Greece, and its reputation continued under the Ptolemies. Egypt still retained the first place in the manufacture of glass under the Romans and exported glass to Rome. After the Egyptians, the people of antiquity most renowned for glass were the Phoenicians, who were also its legendary inventors. The vases of Sidon were highly esteemed at Rome under the Antonines, and many remains of them have been found. From these two countries the knowledge of the art radiated to other countries. In Greece it was next in value to gold, and so can hardly have been a native product. Glass-making was introduced at Rome under the Empire. The most remarkable

works in glass ire the cameo vases, of which the most famous is

IVY LEAVES.

the Portland vase, now in the British Museum. It is of dark blue glass embossed with enamelled glass ; and the art of making such vases has now been lost. Venice became the centre of the glass industry in later years, and for a long time it enjoyed the monopoly of commerce. In conclusion, the lecturer gave a history of the York Glass Works, illustrated by many interesting slides. After the lecture the Headmaster proposed a vote of thanks, which was heartily responded to by the School. On December 1st the Headmaster gave a bright and interesting lecture upon Oxford. He began with a brief history of the University and the origin of the colleges, and gave a topographical survey of the neighbourhood. He then shewed slides of the chief colleges and other " lions " of the city, and also some very pretty views upon the neighbouring waterways. The lecture was not without its humorous side, as in addition to many witty anecdotes, some good slides were shewn, illustrating the horrors of the examination room and the state of the Oxford trams. Also, he gave a short illustrated history of the Oxford Mountaineering Club, and shewed pictures of its members essaying the perils of an ascent of the Bodleian Library and other noted peaks. The lecturer did not state whether he was a member of this club, and wisely did not keep the slides referring to it on the screen long enough to give his audience the opportunity of recognising him among the agile troupe. Mr. Yeld proposed a vote of thanks, which was heartily responded to by the school in the usual manner.

which tho college will sustain through his leaving, and its high appreciation of the services rendered by him to the College.

The evidence of this is seen in the long series of their signal successes in carrying off the honours of the University. His whole influence on his students was elevating and helpful, and he was regarded by all with love and esteem. It is with sincere regret that they think of his departure." Our hearty congratulations to S. W. Penty, B. T. Groves and R. D, Foster on receiving their First XV. Colours; also to J. F. Wallace and C. C. Taylor on receiving their Second XV. Colours.
