SCHOOL LETTER. ONDERS, we are told, never cease, but surely it is more than wonderful that we should have had three weeks of almost uninterrupted fine weather at the beginning of the Summer Term. Be that as it may, it is a fact that we are enjoying what, for us, amounts to tropical warmth. In consequence of this, cricketers have benefited considerably, and we hope that the sun will continue to shine on their efforts, and that we shall be able to record a fine cricket season, the first for very many years. We must now be excused for relating somewhat ancient history. namely, the later events of last term ; also we would like to excuse ourselves for producing a number of the Peterite almost entirely taken up with accounts of the various school games, but this is a busy time of year in the athletic world. The Sports took place under most auspicious conditions. There was an exciting struggle between the House and Dayboys, the latter eventually gaining the verdict by a few points. The tug-of-war, too, was one of the best for several years, and the Dayboys, after a strenuous pull, managed to " lift" the cake. The Gymnasium Competition was attended by quite a number of friends from outside. We are glad that the Adjudicator noted an improvement in the Swedish Drill. The competition for the individual cup was rather disappointing ; both in quantity and quality the competitors fell short of the standard of other years.
A full account of the proceedings will be found elsewhere.
