SCHOOL LETTER. E came back to the school after the holidays with considerable expectations ; for the Sports which were postponed from last term, were to be held within the first fortnight : but as the lime drew near we began to have forebodings whether the inclemency of the weather would not prevent us from holding them at all. We were extremely fortunate in this direction, and more so than we expected, in spite of the adverse condition of the ground. The Natural History Society, too, thought to take advantage of the blue sky, and went for a trip to Grosmont and Whitby ; but the weather replied by trying twice in the day to soak them, though its attempts were fortunately fruitless. We were all filled with regret when we discovered that Mr. Squire had left us during the holidays ; for not only do we miss his energy and perseverance in school-hours, but also his great enthusiasm in the field, and knowledge of all games, which he imparted freely to others. Mr. Squire was always ready to help us in anything worth doing, and so bright arid cheerful, that we may say with Shakespeare " A proper man, as one shall see on a summer's day." We wish Mr. Squire every joy and success, and hope that we shall soon have the opportunity of greeting him in person, when a moment's leisure permits. We extend a most hearty welcome to Mr. Clare whose wide experience of cricket and willingness to help will no doubt do much to make the season a success.

OXFORD LETTER.
TO OLD PETERITES. The O.P. Dinner (London Branch) will be held at the Holborn Restaurant, on July 7th (Tuesday), the second day of the Inter-Varsity Cricket Match—the Rev. G. T. Handford, M.A., in the Chair. The Secretaries hope that Old Boys who can attend will make a note of the date and avoid other engagements. Further information may be obtained from the Hon. Secretaries : —F. P. Fausset, 1, Essex Court, Temple, E.C. R. H. Bailey, 30, Bennett Park, Blackheath, S.E. C. H. Chadwick, 11, Stone Buildings, Lincoln's Inn, W.C.
OXFORD LETTER. DEAR EDITORS,
Being a person of but mean abilities and laying no claim to cleverness, I find it impossible to start my letter with a Latin or Greek quotation, as some of our Cambridge friends do. So I crave indulgence, Mr. Editor, and hope you will supply the omission if you think it necessary. We are pretty well advanced with the term np here, and Schools at the end of term are approaching with winged feet—rather too winged to suit some of us. Husband and Greenhow were fortunate enough to get through " Mods." last term, and Husband further distinguished himself by passing " Divvers " at the same time. I am sorry to say that 0.P's up here are not doing much in the way of games this term. Greenhow has been playing cricket for Hertford pretty regularly, and he and Kirby have been seen playing for the Second XI. Husband and Raimes chiefly confine their energies to tennis and punting.
CAMBRIDGE LETTER.

Raimes, by the way, goes through the sordid process of having his degree conferred on him at the end of this term. We hope that the Headmaster will see his way clear to let the School come down " en masse" to witness the interesting ceremony. Husband has spoken several times at the Union, with some success it seems, judging from the criticism in " The Varsity." " Eights Week" is just over. We have been fortunate enough to get glorious weather for it. The present weather forms rather a striking contrast to that at the beginning of the term, when there was nearly two feet of snow on the ground. The Varsity have quite a strong XI. this term, and gave the Gentlemen of England rather a bad time. Our prospects of winning the Varsity match are quite rosy. We are all very sorry to hear that Mr. Squire has left. He will be missed by everybody, in every way, and not least on the cricket field. • Sincere congratulations to Ingham and Bulmer on their success. With all best wishes to the XI. for successful season, Yours, P.C.
CAMBRIDGE LETTER. DEAR EDITORS,
In the midst of sunshine and trouble I write to you—for Cambridge is once more bathed in the glorious light of summer, and /am inundated with work. During May, Cambridge undergoes a welcome change, and this year the transformation is more wonderful than ever. The scenery along the Backs is really beautiful, and it would be hard to imagine anything finer than the view which one obtains on looking across the river towards King's. But I digress.

SPORTS.
I understand that all the O.Ps up here are at present engaged in the pursuit of learning. Phillips, when he is not reading, may be seen wielding a tennis-racquet with that elegance which is the envy of all his friends. His coming Tripos has made a slave of Fisher, and only meals can drag him from his book. We wish him every success. Yeats, too, is hard at work—the shadow of some big exam. is looming up on the horizon. E. C. Peters has been seen—and heard of, too. The rumour being that he was reading. Colley is absorbed in his Mays, but he nevertheless finds time to play. His pastimes are tennis, swimming before breakfast, and the Grand Opera. Clegg has forsaken everything for science, so he tells his friends. But he has been seen several times on the Backs in a punt, which he can pole with extraordinary skill. (?). M. W. Peters is working hard for his Mays. He also plays cricket for the Christ's First XI. My news is done. Every success to the Eleven. Yours sincerely, CANTAB.

GYMNASTICS.
GYMNASTICS. The Gymnastic Competition has been rather a novelty. It was thought advisable to include a certain proportion of Swedish gymnastics in the programme, as the Gymrasium has just been fitted up with all the latest Swedish apparatus. A competition in Swedish Drill between two squads representing the Dayboys and the Boarders was substituted for the usual Form Competition, and another competition in more advanced gymnastics w as held at the same time, on which the Cup was awarded for individual work. The Challenge Shield was transferred from the Form Competition and is now competed for by teams representing Dayboys and Boarders in both kinds of gymnastics. These changes were found to be necessary because it was impossible to have each Form properly represented in Swedish drill, as about sixteen are necessary to form a squad, and in the case of the gymnastics a far higher standard is reached when special attention is devoted to them. The new arrangements worked very successfully, and the programme was varied in a most pleasing manner by Sergeant Instructors Ferris and Willis, who in the intervals gave splendid displays of trick gymnastics. Major Towsey was kind enough to judge the gymnastics and drilling. In the former, after a very keen competition between Taylor and Wilson, the first place was declared a tie. Exercises were then set to decide the Cup, and Taylor was declared winner by one mark. The rest of the Class, for the most part, are very young, and should do well for the future if they stick to it hard. The Boarders were winners of the Swedish competition, though it was not a walk-over, and so the shield goes to them for this year. In conclusion, we must thank Sergeant-Major Ferris, both for the care he has taken with the gymnastics of the school and for the splendid display which he and his colleague gave. We also offer Taylor and his companion the very best wishes for success at Aldershot next year.

CRICK ET PROSPECTS.
CRICKET PROSPECTS. Like last year, we start this season with only two Colours left, but some of the other members of the team have had a fair amount of experience, which ought to prove of great use to them. We are fortunate to have Sullivan back with us, and hope for many runs from him. Neither Ingham nor Hendley was successful with the bat last season, but we hope to see them return to their form of the previous season. If Wood can refrain from making bad strokes before he has played himself in, he should make plenty of runs, as he hits very hard. A. Phillips, Peters and Wallace also should help materially to increase the score. Of the new members of the Eleven, Taylor is a promising bat, and Ferguson, too, can make runs. So we hope that our " tail " will be a very significant matter this season. The bowlers on whom we shall most rely are Ingham, Hendley and Sullivan. Sullivan's fast bowling is very useful on the hard wickets we are having at present, and already both Ingham and Hendley have found their form. Peters, Phillips, Taylor and Beaumont should also be useful when required. Now to come to the most important, and generally the most neglected, element in cricket—fielding. So far the First XI. have fielded very well, especially considering the bad state in which the ground is, and, so far, with the exception of one or two difficult ones in the slips, no catches have been missed. May this continue. In A. A. Phillips we have a very good wicket-keeper, who is very smart when the batsmen are unwary, but perhaps he would further keep down the extras if he would stand a little further from the wicket to Sullivan's fast bowling. The Second Team, this year, though not young, is very inexperienced, as there is not a Colour left. The bowling is very fair, but the batting and fielding must improve considerably if they want to win matches. Very few of them have any idea how to bat, and must first learn to stand up to the wicket and to play with a straight bat. At present, at nets, their idea of bowling seems to be to take a long run and simply cast the ball down anywhere so
241
CRICKET FIXTURES.
long as it is fast. This must also be remedied. They must remember that length and not only pace are required to make a good bowler. But, perhaps, worst of all is the fielding and catching. That they are capable of fielding well they have shown at practices. A great mistake in ground fielding is to run back instead of forward to meet a ball, and their judgment in catching is very faulty, However, they will certainly improve, as there is a certain amount of keenness shown. We will conclude by wishing both teams good luck and a successful season.

At the end of the Lent Term, instead of the usual Concert, a was given in the Chapel. This was very much appreciated by all who were present, and it is to be hoped that a similar performance will be given each year. Mendelssohn's setting of the " Forty-Second Psalm " was the outstanding feature on the Programme, and, though a by no means easy work, it was excellently sung by the Choir.

ROWING. Rowing during the Lent term was not continued for a very long period beginning on and March and ending with House v. Dayboys race on the 25th of same month. As a natural consequence of this no very great form was shewn though all were very keen throughout the time. The race itself proved a very exciting entertainment and ended in a "dead heat." Both crews got away smartly with a slight advantage in favour of the House, a steady and long stroke was pulled throughout till the bend was reached, where the House were leading by three-quarters of a length ; here, however, an accident occurred and by the time the crew had rounded the bend the Dayboys were level. At this point the House began to get short and never recovered their lead, but the Dayboys continued to pull steadily and together, and were soon leading by a quarter of a length, which they maintained all the way between Scarboro' and Lendal bridges; at this critical moment, however, a similar accident occurred with them, and the House were thus enabled to draw level with them by the time the winning post was reached, twenty yards further on.
