SCHOOL LETTER. HE weather has been favourable for Cricket this Term, and we have endeavoured to make hay while the sun was shining, but we were prevented from playing two of our matches by rain. The First XI. have had a moderately successful season : they have won three matches, drawn three, and lost three. But this year is one of note, for the record of the School was in the Durham match broken by Sullivan, who played splendidly, making a score of 133 not out. We congratulate him and wish him all success next year. The Second XI. has not had much luck. On the Commemoration Day we had the usual Services in the Chapel, which was beautifully decorated for the occasion. It was one of the finest days we have had this year, and many visitors took ad vantage of the sunshine. We hope soon to hold the Swimming Sports, which promise to be especially interesting, as such great numbers have been regularly going to the baths this year, and we hear rumours that they are practising hard. We are also looking forward to the Shooting Competition, which will take place as usual at Strensall. On July loth, the Choir went up the river to Linton Lock, and had the most delightful excursion, in the finest of weather. For one reason the summer Term is always a sorrowful one, for we feel that many of the mainstays of the School are leaving ; but we wish them all the best of luck, and hope to see them whenever they can find time to revisit us.

LONDON O.P. DINNER.
LONDON O.P. DINNER. The Annual London Old Peterite Dinner was held on July 7th, at the Holborn Restaurant, the Rev. G. T. Handford in the chair. The following O.P.'s were present:—Rev. A. Baker, Rev. J. A. Easten, F. P. Fausset, R. Harrison, P. B. Lambert, F, J. Lord, E. F. Nevile, A. J. Newberry, Rev. E. C. Owen (Headmaster), W. W. Reinold, Rev. J. W. Taylor, A. S. Povser, Hugh Wharton, K. J. J. Roy, D. W. Roy. Letters of regret were read from Sir T. Clifford Allbutt and others were read by the chairman, and also an interesting letter from the Rev. Canon Robinson, Master of St. Catherine's College, Cambridge, giving some reminiscences of " Tommy " Richardson. After the toasts of the King and Queen, the Chairman proposed " The School " : in the course of an interesting speech he said that the years during which he was headmaster, were very pleasant to him to look back upon, and he hoped on behalf of Mrs. Handford and himself that Old Peterites would not fail to visit him in his new home at Navenhy, when they had an opportunity. The Rev. E. C. Owen (headmaster) in replying, gave a favourable account of the School during the past year ; he thought that there was a reaction setting in, in favour of schools such as St. Peter's School : unfortunately St Peter's School had not the money to offer scholarships to promising boys to the same extent as the large schools, but taking that into consideration the results attained during past years were very good. Mr. Percy B. Lambert also replied to the toast : he hoped that the younger generation would attend the Dinner in greater numbers, and continue their interest in the old School. Mr. F. P. Fausset proposed "The Chairman," whose health was drunk with enthusiasm : and so ended a pleasant evening. The Secretaries desire to acknowledge a photo of the late Colonel Tozer from his brother for the O.P. Album : other photos will be gladly received.
COMMEMORATION DAY.

COMMEMORATION DAY. On June 27th we commemorated St. Peter's Day. Many 013 Peterites attended the Celebration of the Holy Communion, which was held at 8 a.m., in the Chapel. At 10-30 the Commemoration Service took place, at which an unusual number of visitors were present. The Chapel was charmingly decorated, and every tribute must be paid Miss Owen and her helpers for the very beautiful effect which their labours produced. The sermon was preached by the Ven. Archdeacon Markarness, from the text, Isaiah VI., 8, " I heard the voice of the Lord saying, whom shall I send, and who will go for us ? "Then said I, here am I, send me." The venerable archdeacon said he wanted to say a word that morning about vocation. Vocation was a word that was commonly used, but very commonly misunderstood. Vocation meant calling, and in its highest and best sense for Christians it meant the calling of God to their souls for a special work to be done for Him. It was not a choice. They could not choose their vocation. It was a calling which came to them. They might choose to accept it, or they might choose to reject it. That was quite another thing. It was the calling of God to something which God knew they were fit to do for him. The preacher went on to refer to the text, which, he said, was the story of a great calling coming to the prophet Isaiah, and, proceeding, he pointed out that we could see that vocation, that calling of God, everywhere all around. They had been reading lately in the newspapers about the Pan-Anglican Congress in London, whither people had come from the ends of the earth to consult together for the benefit of the Church of England. How did those people come to be there at all ? The plain reason was that God sent them ; God called them. How did St. Peter's School come to be there ? It was an ancient school, dating back something like 1 zoo years. The school would never have been there if God had not moved somebody to found it. How did they come to be present in that chapel that morning except because God had sent them. There were many sad lives, disappointed lives that had been flittered away to nothing simply

COMMEMORATION DAY.
because they had never accepted the vocation which God had offered them. Everyone had vocations, and to every boy in that chapel a vocation was coming. He hoped they would be ready to say when the vocation came " Here am I, send me." After the Luncheon the visitors assembled on the school cricket ground, and watched the second innings of the Old Boys' match, an account of which will he found elsewhere. The sun was very bright, and the trees at the side of the cricket ground made a welcome shelter both for visitors and boys. In the evening the Old Peterite Club held its Annual Meeting in the Gymnasium, which was followed by a social gathering and an impromptu concert.

YORK BANKS.
Played on the School ground on Wednesday, May zoth. Ingham won the toss and Sullivan and Mr. Clare opened for the school. A bad start was made, Sullivan being bowled with only one run on the board. However, Mr. Clare and Hendley made a good stand, both scoring well all round the wicket. Fifty went up, but at 58 Hendley was bowled in trying to pull a ball to leg. Three more wickets then went down in quick succession, while only one run was added. Wood, however, effected a good stand but soon lost Mr. Clare, who was bowled for a good innings of 32 (62-6-32). The outgoing batsman had played splendid cricket though he was badly missed at mid-wicket soon before he was out. Wallace helped Wood to add 19 before being taken behind the wicket for 8 (81-7-8) Lacy was soon out, but Wood and Taylor effected a splendid stand. Both played good cricket and Wood especially hit hard. At last Wood fell to a splendid catch at mid-on. His 36 was the outcome of good batting. Taylor also played very well and had the satisfaction of carrying out his bat for 19. The total reached 13o. The Banks made a good start and had 36 on the board before their first wicket fell. Every man contributed materially to the score, and by the time stumps were drawn our opponents had made o5 for the loss of 4. wickets, Stocks played very fine cricket for his splendid innings and was unbeaten at the end. The school bowling naturally was not successful but was fairly steady, Ingham and Sullivan securing two wickets each. Taylor must be commended for his smart fielding at point. ST. PETER'S.

ST. PETER'S SCHOOL 7'. BOOTHAM SCHOOL.
Played on the School ground on Wednesday, May 27th. Bootham took first innings on a very fast wicket and made a good start against Ingham and Sullivan, but after the first wicket fell at 2¢ the resistance to the bowling of Ingham and Hendley was very moderate and the whole side was out for 65. Moderate as this total was it proved to be beyond the school's powers to beat it. A very had start was made as, after Sullivan had scored a single Hendley was caught at second slip from a fast rising ball, and Peters and Wood were soon out. When he was playing nicely Sullivan was out in playing back and Ingham . soon followed after making three. Wallace and Phillips effected a short stand, but after the latter was bowled no one rendered Wallace much assistance and our total only amounted to 52, thus we were beaten by 13 runs. Wallace deserves every credit for his splendid effort to save the side, and had anyone been able to stay with him the result might have been different. The school batting was very weak.

timed a slow ball from Baker, having made five. Hendley followed Both batted well though Hendley in and a good stand ensued. made one or two lucky snicks to leg. The bowling was rather short-pitched and a great many runs were scored between coverpoint and mid-off. Sullivan played splendidly, one stroke to third man being particularly good. The score reached 77 when Hendley was bowled by a good ball from Baker for a useful 33. Peters began well and was unlucky to be bowled by a ball which kept very low. Wood did nothing but Ingham effected another good stand with Sullivan, who was now well-set and soon reached 5o. Ingham played very steadily while Sullivan cut and drove with great power. All bowling came alike to him and though he made one or two risky strokes he never looked like getting out. At last Ingham was caught for a steady 17 in a partnership of 68. With Phillips in, Sullivan made a school record by making his second century in one season against Durham. The score continued to mount rapidly both batsmen hitting hard, and when it reached 213 the innings was declared. Sullivan's innings was magnificent and though he gave a hard chance at the wicket early on and another to mid-on after reaching oo, they were small blemishes in a truly great display. Phillips also played well. Durham made a very bad start as Maynard was splendidly caught off the first ball sent down and Fenwick did not survive long. However, Cumberledge and Baker, assisted by Hinde and Dingle, made the game safe for Durham. The two first-mentioned especially played well. Thus the game ended in a draw after a splendid contest.

OLD PETERITRS.
The Old Boys won the toss and elected to bat first. Peters and Allen made a good start, putting on 58 for the first wicket At that score Peters was caught in the slips off Ingham. Blenkin followed and he and Allen brought the score to 74 before Blenkin was caught. After Greaves was out, however, none of the rest succeeded in making runs and they were all out for the moderate score of 129. The School also commenced well. Sullivan and Wallace hit the bowling about and quickly put up 63, when Wallace was clean bowled. Hendley and Peters did not stay long, and shortly after Sullivan was caught. He had made 54 in good style. Wood and Ingham gave us the lead on the first innings, but this did not look as if it would be greatly increased. The last wicket, hoWever, produced a splendid stand. Phillips and Lacy both scored very fast, and remained together at the end of the day's play. The school declared their innings closed so that the Old Boys opened the batting next day. They started very badly as Scott was out with the total at one, and Daniel and Peters followed soon after. However, Blenkin and Allen by careful play kept together and put on 8o runs for the fourth wicket. Allen left at III, but Blenkin continued to play well, and he and Greaves took the score to i6o before the fifth wicket fell. Creer materially helped the score with his 38 not out, so that when the total was raised to 225, the school required 131 to win. Though they started badly the school were able to get the runs for the loss of four wickets, mainly with the help of Sullivan who made a splendid innings of 86. OLD PETERIT ES.

CRICKET RETROSPECT.
CRICKET RETROSPECT. The past season has been full of surprises. The team which was beaten by Bootham succeeded in scoring an excellent victory over Durham, only to succumb very tamely to Pocklington the week after ; but out of 12 matches we have won three, lost three, and drawn three, while rain has interfered with the remainder—a result not discreditable. The chief feature of the team has been the magnificent batting of J. H. B. Sullivan, culminating in his last game in the score of 132 not out — a score which we believe to be the record for the School. But though the XI. has relied so much upon him the other members have not been behindhand. Wallace and Hendley have both made many runs. Wallace has been very lucky, but Hendley is a good steady bat and he and Sullivan have often put on many runs together before the first wicket has fallen. Ingham too. and Phillips, our two old colours, though neither of them good bats, have been useful at times. Phillips hits very hard, and improving towards the end of the season was able to score over so in the Old Boys' match. Ingham is a much steadier hat and has often helped Sullivan to pile up the score. A. J. Peters, Taylor and Wood, the last three colours have all played well, perhaps Peters is more consistent but does not score very fast. Taylor and Wood have sometimes been disappointing, especially the latter, but have both made good scores in some of the matches. Of the others Lacy shows most promise as a bat, and all have done their best for the side. Turning to bowling, we can only point to three bowlers who have met with much success. Sullivan, Hendley and Ingham. Sullivan's fast right arm deliveries have often proved very destructive and provided a useful contrast to Hendlev's slow breaks. Ingham, too, at the beginning of the season met with some success, but later, on the hard wickets, could not do much. Another bowler of great promise is Foster ; and Peters sometimes has bowled well, though lie is rather erratic. Beaumont and Taylor have been useful at times, and all the bowlers have been

helped by knowing that a good man was behind the wickets. For nothing is more demoralising than to see bye after bye let through. In fielding the standard has been, generally speaking, good, hough there have been one or two offenders. Taylor deserves great credit for his consistent good fielding at point, and Lacy has also earned notice. Of the rest no one deserves special credit, hough A. J. Peters invariably and Wood, towards the end of the season, saved many runs. The Second XI. and the Junior XI. do not call for many words. But players of promise have come to light in Hendley, Norwood, Lawton and perhaps Henty. Of the older members of the team Bulmer and W. Phillips and Kennedy have all done good things, both in batting and bowling, and if the team has not met with nuch success it is only due to the weakness of the remainder. -
In conclusion we must thank Mr. Clare for his valuable advice and assistance throughout the season : and also Mr. Tendall for his kindness in umpiring in several of our matches.
CRICKET CHARACTERS. W. INGHAM (1907-8). Has captained the team with much success and shown considerable keenness. Improved as a batsman as the season wore on. By far the steadiest bowler on the side. Has set a good example in the field. A. A. P3ILLIPS (1907-8). An excellent wicket-keeper, standing very close up and gathering the ball most neatly, but would obtain more catches if he stood back to fast bowling. A hard hitting batsman, but defence rather weak. Has been a very consistent bat and P. G. H ENDLEY (1908). made many runs. As a bowler, though occasionally expensive, he has been of the greatest help to the side. Fair field.

CRICKET CHARACTERS.
J. H. B. SULLIVAN. (I 908). A most promising bat, and should do thoroughly well and make a name. Has numerous strokes both sides of the wicket. As a bowler, would be more useful if he would keep to one style. A smart and keen field. J. F. WALLACE. ( I 9°8). Has shown much improvement with the bat, but does not make enough use of his exceptional reach, and must get rid of the " swing shot." Has been most reliable in the long field. A. j. PETERS. (0 9o81. Has been disappointing as a batsman and as a bowler, but improved slightly in the latter towards the close of the season. Is quite a keen field with a clean pick up but rather slow return. C. C. TAYLOR. (z908). A fair .bat, but bad starter. An excellent field at point, where he has saved many runs this season. With practice could become a moderate bowler. R. M. WOOD. 0908). A disappointing bat. When he has cured himself of the fatal habit of drawing away, he should make plenty of runs. Has fielded well. A. 0. LACY. A very promising young batsman. Should do very well next season. An excellent field. P. BEAUMONT. Has never done himself justice with the bat. Has occasionally bowled well. A poor field. R. 0. FOSTER. Bowls a good medium paced ball, with a good off break. Should be very useful next year. A poor bat and field. F. FERGUSON. A disappointing bat. He unfortunately is extremely nervous. A good field.

TO A FRIEND.

TO A FRIEND. How many ships there are that sail Thy heaving bosom, glorious sea! How many ships ! and yet they fail To bring my friend again to me. I pray thee listen once again, For thou remembre'st how of yore I wrote to thee a little strain, In tinkling stanzas, there were four. No kindly counsel here I send, No message which you must receive, No invitation this dear friend, I only ask you to believe— Believe that though awhile we part (God grant it may not be for aye), I cherish still within my heart A hope to meet thee on that day When thou returnest. Every wave So gently lapping on the quay Will whisper, " Why so grave, so grave ? " We bring him, bring him back to thee." But now the vessel heaves in sight, And down the leaden waves afar It draws its train of sparkling light, And crosses now the harbour bar. And as through cloudy morning skies The stately sun begins to soar, And rising hardly seems to rise ; So now the vessel nears the shore. And when the vessel comes to land How many greetings we shall say, How gladly hand will clasp in hand, Ourselves the gayest of the gay.

Although we have to work and wait, We know that we shall both attain A better, yea, a happier state; And then how gladly meet again. NESCIO QUIS.
