SCHOOL LETTER. HIS term, like every other summer term, has been for some a time of ease, but for many it has been unusually strenuous. There is an almost record number of entries for the School Certificate and we sincerely hope the result will also be a record. On the cricket field the XI. has been most successful under the able captaincy of A. B. Sellers.

Three of the School matches were won, three lost, and one drawn. On the river the rowing has been in full swing and was not delayed, like the cricket, owing to bad weather at the beginning of the term. Though the School crew were unsuccessful in the Regatta, we understand they put up a very good show ; while the Club crew, which Ogilvie stroked, won its first heat. The annual fixture with York City was held on July 14th, and after a most exciting race the City crew won by a quarter of a length. While on the subject of rowing we might add that we are very pleased to hear that a movement is on foot to provide a substitute for the " temporary " boathouse. " It's never too late The Debating Society which was so enthusiastically revived in February has successfully maintained strict silence so far this term. We hope this is merely an indication that its life next term will be more vigorous and not that it is dying a natural death.

The Scientific Society has been flourishing as usual and the Annual Outing was most successful. There are persistent rumours afloat of a museum being opened. We hope this will materialise as it is an institution the School has lacked for many years.

OXFORD LETTER.

Last but not least, we must heartily congratulate Col. King, Mr. Sykes and the O.T.C. on the high standard of work shown both in the Competitions and the Inspection. The spirit of keenness shown by Sections in the- Competition was a striking proof of the improvement which has lately taken place in the O.T.C. In conclusion we must strike a rather less cheerful note. It is with real sorrow that we hear of the departure of Mr. Hutchins and Mr. Griffith. Mr. Hutchins has proved himself keen and able in almost every department of school life. As Housemaster of the Dayboys, he will be long remembered for his untiring energy and enthusiasm in their cause. He showed himself to be a valuable help both on the Rugger field and on the river. Mr. Griffith has been chiefly responsible for the swimming and the exhibitions both on this and last Speech Day gave ample testimony of his able management. He has been untiring in his efforts for the good of the Rowing Club and they will be very sorry indeed to lose him. We wish both Mr. Hutchins and Mr. Griffith, on behalf of the School, the very best of luck and success in their future !

OXFORD LETTER. The Editors of the Peterite, St.. Peter's School.

DEAR SIR, After nearly seven weeks of rain, we are at last able to see the sun for more than a few minutes at a time. For the greater part of the term the river has been much too full and swift to permit of the usual aquatic diversions of the summer, and many of the college grounds have been standing in water and so made cricket and tennis more difficult to get than usual .

There are therefore no very outstanding athletic records to bring to your notice. K. G. Chilman has displayed his usual energy at Hertford, chiefly at Cricket, and W. E. Barton stroked Worcester in Eights Week with the result that it went up and finished sixth.

F. J. Mann, J. G. Hardwick and W. E. Barton have all been busy with " Schools " and, much to our regret, they, together with K. G. Chilman, will be leaving us at the end of this term.

All good luck to them in the future.

CAMBRIDGE LETTER.

857

N. K. Lindsay has again indulged in his dinner-eating capacities in London, and we have noticed a decided improvement therein. Besides this arduous and irksome task he is helping to stage-manage the O.U.D.S. production of " Love's Labours Lost " in Wadham Gardens during Commem.

E. G. H. Mack and G. Marwood have been working in or near Oxford during the and we hope to see them both up in October.

At the last meeting of the year the Officers were elected for the ensuing year as follows :—Vice-President : T. Watkinson (Hertford) Hon. Sec. : N. K. Lindsay (Brasenose) ; and Hon. Ford (St. Edmund's Hall).

Treas. : J. W. '• In conclusion we should like to point out that under the new regulations for the Oxford Old Peterite Dinner in November, an open invitation is extended to all O.P. Oxonians, past and present, each year. Further particulars may be obtained each year from the Hon. Sec., whose name and college will always be found in this term's letter. The cost of the Dinner, inclusive of everything, is not likely to exceed 155. and may quite well be less.

We trust that the School will continue to prosper as it has done in the past.

Please accept our very best wishes.

Yours, etc., THE OXFORD OLD PETERITES.

CAMBRIDGE LETTER. O.P. CLUB, DEAR SIR,

CAMBRIDGE.

As this summer term draws to its close, it is once again my painful duty to delve deeply into the pages of member's private history, and make record of such deeds as are meet and worthy of mention. This is no easy task for the summer term is, for those of us who are conscientious, a time of increased mental rather than physical activity. Most examinations are over, and as I write the terrible trial of waiting for results is being borne as patiently and joyously as possible.

858

CAMBRIDGE LETTER.

Two illustrious members, Birks and Reed, are leaving us this term. Birks is bound for Wales in the capacity of a master at one of the leading Public Schools there. Reed is going into the Sudan Civil Service ; and we wish them both the very best of luck in their new jobs.

Dawson is staying up at Ridley Hall for yet another year.

This term he has capt'ained the cricket team there with considerable success ; though he assures us that his batting average has descended in geometrical progression.

Elliot-Smith, following up success on the Thames in April, is rowing in Lady Margaret 1st boat in the Mays. He insists that he has got much more " wind up " over the races than over the results of his past geographical " trip."

Blair has taken up boxing again this term, and divides his time between that noble art and the dissection of divers frogs and worms. In an encounter with the Progs one night it was noticed that he came off second best to the extent of six and eightpence.

Darwin is a very busy man ; we have seen his signature below various excellent ideas in the suggestion book at the Union, and his activities in connection with the British Fascisti have seen no abatement.

R. V. C. Gray was going to grace us with his presence at our last meeting but failed to appear. He is to be congratulated on being elected captain of Rugger at Selwyn.

L. F. Leversedge has been elected secretary of hockey at St. John's. He is playing tennis as well as ever, and his hopefulness over the results of his and other people's examinations is very cheering.

Headlam seems to have developed a certain partiality for Oxford and the way thereto. We hear that his rate of procedure on such occasions is faster than is desired by some people.

B. McCall is now the proud and happy possessor of a new typewriter. The necessity for such an acquisition is no doubt most pressing, since the owner thereof is destined for the law.

Wightman is developing such a compulsory propensity for work that his public appearances are few and far between.

He still dabbles in frogs and rabbits,

SPEECH DAY AND COMMEMORATION.

859

At the last meeting of the term the following Officers were elected for next year :—Vice-President, L. Elliot-Smith ; Secretary : W. Darwin.

We have had fleeting visions of several other O.P's. this term.

Marwood came over from Oxford and was present at the last meeting of the term. Richardson also came up to achieve well deserved success in the ist M.B., and J. W. H. Craven has been seen striving most manfully with his Little Go. hoping to be with us next term.

Wishing the School every success, Yours sincerely, 0.P's.

SPEECH DAY AND COMMEMORATION. JUNE 28TH AND 29TH.

(With acknowledgements to the Yorkshire Herald.)

Saturday and Sunday, June 28th and 29th, were Comemmoration Days in connection with St. Peter's School, York, and the annual Speech Day and Distribution of Prizes took place on Saturday morning in the large historic Hall at the School.

The Dean of York, as chairman of the governing body, presided, and the prizes were distributed by the Hon. W. Buchanan Riddell, Principal of Hertford College, Oxford.

Others on the platform were the Headmaster (Mr. S. M. Toyne), the Rev. Chancellor Austin, the Rev. Canon T. E. B. Guy and Mr. G. F. Tendall (second master).

The Headmaster extended a warm welcome to Mr. Riddell.

It was, he observed, particularly pleasing to him for Mr. Riddell to be present, because the Principal of Hertford College was his old tutor, and he brought vividly back to memory the days when Mr. Riddell was a young and inspiring don, and when he (Mr. Toyne) was a still younger and less inspired undergraduate.

The honours list of St. Peter's, he thought, reflected the connection of Mr. Riddell and himself, one or two of St. Peter's boys having gone to Hertford College and won considerable distinctions under Mr. Riddell.

SPEECH DAY AND COMMEMORATION. YEAR OF EDUCATIONAL PEACE.

The past year had been marked by educational peace, but it was possible that they might be faced with more critical problems next year. The controlling barometer for many years had pointed set-fair at classics, and it had fluctuated between mathematics and science, taking history along in its way. It was the duty of a headmaster to endeavour to keep that barometer more or less steady in order to keep the balance correct so that no subject was excluded or undue prominence given to others. Perhaps after the experience of the war some people might have over-estimated the importance of science_ to the exclusion of other subjects, but the barometer was now swinging back to linguistic studies, not excluding English. In their own School it had been a year of quiet expansion. Outwardly there had been some difficult negotiations with regard to the acquirement of in acres of new playing fields, but they had managed to achieve their object. The great problem in the past had been where to play their games so that all the boys should have sufficient exercise, but those problems had at last been solved, and it was hoped that the new playing fields would be completed by next Christmas. The new baths had been a great success, and there was now only one thing needed ere they could say the School was thoroughly equipped for its leisure hours, and that thing needed was a new boat house.

The present year was an interesting one in that regard because it happened to be the jubilee of the present boathouse, which was erected as a temporary building in 1874. He was of the opinion that it should celebrate its jubilee by celebrating its demise. Moreover the year was suitable for a scheme of that kind as one of the old boys, L. Elliott-Smith, had helped Cambridge to win the victory over Oxford in the Boat Race.

The cricket and football teams had been above the average, and for the first time in the history of the School an old Peterite (H. G. Coates) had played in the Lord's match last August. The School teams had suffered, as at other Schools, from boys leaving at an earlier age than might be expected.

AN IMPORTANT YEAR. Too much emphasis could not be placed upon the importance of the last year of a boy in a public school, and he believed that a boy gained more in that year than he gained in any two years for the rest of his career. He became more fitted for the university, the professions, and for the duties of citizenship which were most important. It was in that period that he really acquired that responsibility and training for which

SPEECH DAY AND COMMEMORATION. 861 public schools stood. He might go further and say he believed that the school period of a boy between 17 and 18 years increased his ultimate earning capacity. That might sound too commercial a thing to say ; . but after all England was a commercial nation, and it was .a welcome thing that more boys from public schools should take their place in commerce, and endeavour to set up a high standard. Although there was an abnormally large leaving list, he was glad to say that they had an abnormal entry for the next term. The entry even promised to be the largest in the history of the school. But for all that, he hoped that the School would not grow larger than 300 'or 31o, believing that the duties of responsibility were better learnt in a school of that size than they were in larger schools. Moreover, in a smaller school it was possible for the headmaster to get a more intimate knowledge of the boys themselves. For that reason he trusted that the Governors of St. Peter's would agree with him in keeping the School to its present numbers.

MOST NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENT. In the internal and educational life of the School this year the most notable achievement had been the science exhibition, which had been intensely interesting to those who had previously taken but little interest in science, and he thought the boy demonstrators and the masters, Mr. Woodcock and Mr. Featherstone, were to be congralulated on their wonderful achievement. Turning to the honours list, Mr: Toyne drew attention to the inevitable omission in the list owing to obvious reasons. E. M. Reed, who had already got his first class history tripos, had since then taken further honours in the English tripos ; and J. H. Richardson, who was still at the School, was to be congratulated in having gained his first M.B. E. P. Sewell, who played for the English Public Schools against the Scottish, had been placed 23rd in Sandhurst. The rest of the distinction list spoke for itself.

Finally, he would like to mention the Officers' Training Corps.

No fewer than 12 boys had been successful in gaining their " A " certificates, which was a fine record, and was, he believed, equalled by none in the Northern Command. This was no mere jinguistic institution, but a very fine way of teachkg boys self-reliance, and how to be dependent upon themselves.

The boys who had been two or three times to camp had learnt a tremendous lot in the way of fending for themselves, and the boy who had been unable to go had lost considerably in the learning of duties towards the community.

862 SPEECH DAY AND COMMEMORATION. THE SCHOOL'S HISTORY. In conclusion, Mr. Toyne referred to the pending publication of the history of the School, to which allusion was made last year. He pointed out that it was proving to be a far greater work that had been imagined. It was in the able hands of the Rev. Angelo Raine, whose immense research work had opened many new fields, and the work when published would prove to be deeply interesting not only to Peterites, but to historians generally, as it would undoubtedly throw some light upon phases of educational history of England. So great had been the work of research that it could not possibly be ready before October 1st. That date had definitely been given, and he thought there was little doubt but that subscribers would have it in their hands by the end of that month or early in November.

Mr. Toyne thanked the staff for their able co-operation, and regretted that Mrs. Toyne would not be able to carry out her duties as hostess at the " At Home," she being ill with measles.

LEADERS OF OPINION. The Hon. W. Buchanan Riddell congratulated Mr. Toyne on being headmaster of that ancient and celebrated School, and congratulated the School upon having Mr. Toyne as headmaster. Speaking of public schools and illustrious scholars, he said it had been possible all through English history for anyone who had 'enough character and ability to achieve a great career—and it was even more possible to do that to-day.

Competition had, however, got more severe, and the old established public schools were no longer the monopoly they used to be in the matter of access to the universities. Now they got boys coming to them from all over the British Empire, and as the eduaction ladder had strengthened, expanded, and improved competition had become keener, and educational standards were always tending to rise. It was just as well that they realised that fact because now it took a good head and a great deal of perseverance to gain the top. He congratulated Mr. Toyne and the School on the distinctions to which reference had been made. From the number of boys he had known to have gone from St. Peter's he congratulated his own school, and also the other colleges who had been fortunate enough to receive them. He was aware of the advantage it was to those colleges to have them, and many of them had risen to great distinction in many walks of life. But to climb high ladders and to achieve great careers was not the primary function of the public school, the greater work being to turn out for the

SPEECH DAY AND COMMEMORATION. 863 service of the nation men who would lead opinion instead of follOwing it. That was the essence of the educated man— the man who made up his own mind and formed his own opinion, independent of popular opinion. Such a man, whatever profession or business he followed, was always recognised by his associates and colleagues as a man whose judgment and opinion were formed on knowledge, on wisdom, and on truth. If they could achieve that--and they all could achieve it as the result of a public school education—they would become leaders of opinion and in that sense do as valuable a work as those who achieved even higher positions in Church and State. The lesson to be learnt in the school was that the school came first and the individual second, which in later years was translated into the desire to do their job as well as they could for the benefit of their generation and not alone for the advancement of themselves. If they saw to that, the time they spent at school and the amount of labour spent upon them while there would be justified, and their ancient School would continue, as it had done through so many centuries, to make great contributions to the life of the nation.

PRESENTATION OF PRIZES. The Hon. W. Buchanan Riddell then presented the prizes as follows :Archbishop of York's prize for classics, H. N. Hodd ; Dean of York's prize for mathematics, D. G. Ogilvie and E. G. Bullen (bracketed equal) ; headmaster's prizes : (a) European history, G. A. Delgado ; (b) Social history, J. C. Rogers ; (c) Latin prose, R. C. Parkinson. English essay, M.

Mr. Toyne gave a special prize to J. H. Richardson who was prevented from entering for the School's Science prize because of his studies for his M.B. The Stephenson prize for Greek was founded by an Old Peterite in memory of a former headmaster.

THE DEAN OF YORK. The Dean of York expressed on behalf of every one interested and connected with St. Peter's School deep sympathy with Mrs. Toyne in her illness and a sincere hope that she would soon be restored to health. It was true, as the headmaster had said, that there had been a period of peace and quietness during the past year, but possibly the reason was that the Governors had given the headmaster a whole term's holiday. The quietness did not last long when he returned, for he at once roused everyone up and transmogrified everything, creating almost a revolution. The Dean recapitulated much in the headmaster's report, the remarks in which he endorsed, referring at some length to the close connection between the Minster and the School. They all wished that that attachment was even closer than it was.

Many distinguished Old Peterites were numbered among the illustrious ones of the Church as well as in the spheres of history and science, and there was no more distinguished Old Peterite than Bishop Forrest Brown, who preaching in St. Paul's not long ago surprised his congregation by pausing in his sermon and leaning over the pulpit, declaring : " I come from an ancient public school, not of mushroom-growth like Eton and Winchester," and they had to acknowledge that the bishop was right. They had heard that the School had a larger entry for next term. .

LOYALTY TO THE SCHOOL. They had also heard that the headmaster did not wish that the School should be larger than 30o boys. In that Mr. Toyne had the support of the governing body. There was a great deal to be said in keeping public schools comparatively small.

If they got a school beyond 300 it became so large as to be really outside the range of the personal touch of the headmaster.

At St. Peter's the personality of the headmaster was felt right through the School. He desired to express the gratitude of the governing body, parents, and everyone connected with St. Peter's for the loyal and admirable work done by the assistant

SPEECH DAY AND COMMEMORATION.

865

staff of the School ; but at the same time the teachers knew, and they would agree that after all the success of a school depended in the first place upon the personality of the hadmasteer.

Referring to boys leaving school early, the Dean urged upon parents the importance of the years from 17 to 19, and felt certain that the anxiety of parents to remove their boys at the age of 17 so that they might be earning was a short-sighted policy from every point of view. There were parents who did not immediately see the advantage of art in education, but it was demonstrated that on the whole an artistic or musical education was among the best preparations that a boy or girl could have for practical life. The appreciation of that was only just beginning to grow, but he believed it would grow more and more, and he looked to the time when they would see the barometer set fair at artistic education as being among the bases of the best education for after life.

Votes of thanks accorded to the speakers, on the proposition of the Rev. Storrs Fox, and seconded by the Rev. Chancellor Austen (the youngest member of the governing body) was followed by rousing cheers from the boys for the Dean, Mr. and Mrs. Toyne, the assistant masters, and the School.

THE OLDEST SCHOOL. Chancellor Austen, in his remarks, said : Coming from the South he had thought that Canterbury School was the oldest school, but coming to the North he found another claimant to that honour—St. Peter's School, York. Still he had come to the conclusion that there was one school also in the South— in Kent—which probably was a little previous to either Canterbury or St. Peter's, and that school was Rochester. He would like that matter reported, because then there might be some question set up that would settle the matter.

The proceedings closed with the National Anthem.

In the afternoon the Old Boys' cricket match took place, and Mr. and Mrs. Toyne were at home on the cricket ground, where many guests were received. There were also aquatic sports, and an interesting art exhibition of the year's work was open during the afternoon.

Music was played by the British Legion Military Band.

866 SPEECH DAY AND COMMEMORATION. The Commemoration Service was held in the Chapel on the following day. A large number of Old Boys and other friends of the School attended this service and heard a really wonderful sermon by the Bishop of Whitby, based on the text,. " We all are members one of another "—Romans, xxi. 5.

The Bishop of Whitby said that very few people could dispute, who knew anything about the British people and the English nation, that very few things were so characteristic of the English life as were the public shcools. Of course there were critics of public schools, but that was only natural because nothing in this world was perfect. One of the best proofs of their value was the wonderful affection they inspired in everyone who had had the opportunity of being a member of a public school. That affection and regard was undoubtedly one of the great spurs to high endeavour, in one section at any rate of English life, and filled many persons with the bitterest shame if they sank below what might be called the public school standard. Of course these schools were places of education, of drawing out rather than the simple taking in. But surely the public schools were the means to one end, which was the development of character, of personality and the sum of what a man was. Experience of life taught most of them that what a man did depended not only on the wit or the power he possessed, but much more on what he was. Character was not fully developed in a short life at a public school. What were the real main causes which affected them in a public school ? The first was tradition. A boy in a public school learned that he was part of something bigger than himself, part of a community which made demands upon him. It was the community which was goi - g to make him, but it was also a community he himself must help to make. No other place really produced in the same way as a public school esprit de corps. The second was fellowship. When they got into life they would learn that success largely depended on how far they could fit in with other people. The third cause was the spirit of sport—to play to win and to learn to lose ; to play fair and above all to play as a team. They should learn to co-operate and to learn that team work was the one great thing needed to succeed in sport.

When they learned to play with others and for others, then they would learn the great secret of playing life's game. That spirit of sport entered into their English life. The public schools had to realise the spirit of co-operation, to learn to pass, and the readiness to serve. If asked whence that spirit came he would turn to the historical fact of all great public schools, where he found they always had a religious foundation.

CRICKET.

86y

He asked what was the essence of Christian religion. It was surely co-operation in service, the readiness to pass and the readiness to play for and with the team. If that was to continue in the wider life with its greater difficulties and less encouragement, then surely the heart of every good school must be the right kind of Christian influence in order to keep the right spirit in the school, and to develop that spirit in i every use of the school and every use outside.

THE SPIRIT NEEDED TO-DAY. That was the spirit, proceeded the Bishop, they needed to-day.

Was not the real curse of industry that men entered into it with the idea of making their pile, instead of doing their bit of service for God and man. That spirit must be eliminated, and people must realise—whether employers or workmen—they were each partners in a great endeavou'r and must cease to work as rivals.

In regard to the Church they must realise that it was really a society of co-operative service, there being a need both of clergy and labour. He urged the schools to shape the right kind of laymen, and to bring out the right type of clergy.

They had to solve the greatest question of the day in the universities, and that was how the nations of quite different colour could learn to co-operate for the common welfare of the world.

CRICKET RETROSPECT AND CHARACTERS. The really important character, which should come first, but which is often omitted altogether, is that of the team. The team's character has stiffened considerably as the season went on and from June 28th it has never looked back. On anything but a soft wicket, the XI. possessed the strongest batting side for the last ten years and in comparing achievements of different years it is well to remember that the calibre of many of our opponents has risen some fifty per cent. There were two blots on the season—the first match against the Yorkshire Gentlemen, where because one batsman happened to be making runs, seven others thought that they could punch good length bowling also, the other blot was when a strong Ampleforth side was dismissed for 117, a stronger batting side was dismissed for a still smaller total.

868

CRICKET.

The Durham match was a fine struggle and our opponents are to be congratulated. The Giggleswick side also put up a great answer to our total of 300 ; many schoolboy sides would have collapsed. The best performance of the year was against the Northern Command. I should say that it is a record for a bowler to take io wickets and catch the eleventh, as it is not often possible to get more than ten. The School bowling and batting and fielding were well above the average and the only blemish is the running between the wickets. Four members of the side are about as bad as possible for " colours " and the second XI. is not much better. The two " run outs " in the Durham match gave our opponents the victory, which they deserved, instead of a draw. Perhaps nothing was more gratifying during the season than the way in which one or two sloppy fielders became smart and the esprit de corps of the team improved. It was a pleasure to play with them.

Junior Cricket has never gone with a better swing and the proper cricket spirit was never more in evidence. Why has cricket become so popular since the war ? It is said that the number of players in 1923 and 1924 is nearly double that of 1912 and 1913. Probably because. no game combines so much scope for luck and so much scope for skill. The wet weather has not helped the Eccentrics who played a vast number of matches on various grounds.

We can look forward to a really hot side next year. The foundations have been well and truly laid and this year's keen skipper, A. B. Sellers, can take some of the credit for next year as well as for this.

This year has also seen the publication of Cricket Maxims for Peterites. It would be a very pleasant thing to see an O.P. Cricket week here in the last week of July and " the Peterite Maxims." would not be an inappropriate title for the side.

Keen Old and present Peterites, will you ponder on this when Winter comes ? Excellent wickets were provided as usual by Roberts, and 0.P's. could rely on wickets equally good.

CHARACTERS OF THE XI. A. B. SELLERS, an enthusiastic captain, who showed considerable judgment in managing the bowling. Really a brilliant field, but he struck a bad patch. As a batsman he has every stroke and when he fills out and gains an inch or two, he might well be found in first class cricket.

R. P. CRAWFORD. A fast bowler who came into his own with the hard wickets and finally did a record. A safe pair of hands and a big hearted hitter.

CRICKET.

869

P. DAINTRY, an unruffled left arm bowler, who can keep up his end for ever. A businesslike secretary and a fairly safe slip.

J. SCHOLEFIELD has developed into an alert and classy point.

An excellent hard wicket bat with any amount of patience.

H. B. LINTON, a painstaking batsman, who gives us many a useful score.

R. S. SANDERS has unfortunately lost his batting, but he became a wicket getting bowler and met with phenomenal success, which was assisted by his curious action.

E. G. BULLEN is quickly becoming the best wicket-keeper produced by the School. He appears to like fast balls on the leg side and being hit about.

C. R. YEOMANS, a batsman with possibilities. He abandoned his curious style of fielding and was distinctly good at the end of the season.

J. N. BULLEN. A real batsman and at the end of the season perhaps the best bat in the XI. He was transformed from a sloppy fielder into a useful performer.

H. S. BURROWS has a natural swerve and great possibilities as a batsman, but he is wofully soporific. With a prolonged course of Kruschen he would be good.

J. A. CLOSE steadily improved all the season. A neat fielder, but does not watch the ball to his hand. Should be very good next year.

ROWING.

885

ROWING. Once again we have come to the end of the School rowing year—a year which has been full of hard work and good exercise for the boys who have " taken " rowing. Also on looking back we can see several things which mark progress, viz. :—the new pair tub which has proved so extremely useful in coaching people to row properly on slides, and tfien we also feel very pleased to have a new slipway at. the Boathouse.

We hardly dare to hope for a further move of progress, but after the remarks made from the platform on St. Peter's Day, the advent of a new Boathouse to replace the 5o year old temporary building seems a possibility.

We again entered two crews for the York Regatta, viz. :— the School 1st I V. for the White Rose Cup and a composite crew of two masters and two boys for the Regatta Cup. It is perhaps worthy of note that St. Peter's School rowing received very favourable notice in the local Press. The following is an extract from the Yorkshire Evening Press of June 21st :— " St. Peter's are sending two crews to the Regatta to-day.

One has entered for the White Rose Cup and the other for the Regatta Cup. The " White Rose " crew is composed of senior boys, who have practiced very assiduously, and considering their years and weight, really row very well. Their youth will place them to some disadvantage in competing with fully developed men, but this crew will stay the course, as the youth of St. Peter's invariably do, and I have every confidence that, whether winning or losing, they will pass the winning post in as good form and as well together as in practice. The experience alone is well worth while, and will prove invaluable to the boys in the coming years."

The White Rose crew, drawn against Tees A.B.C. rowed a very fine race over the whole course. Losing just a little at the start they were always keeping their ooppnents going to keep their lead while for the finish Hodd brought his crew in with a magnificent spurt the crew responding perfectly, but the verdict going to Tees by quarter of a length.

The Regatta crew drew against a York City crew got a very good start and held their lead to the end, winning the first heat by a length. In the second heat St. Peter's were against a strong Mersey crew who won the heat by a length.

886

ROWING.

A word of congratulation must here be offered to D. G. Ogilvie, who stroked this boat as it was no light test to keep the crew of heavy weights going, but he did it well. The two crews were as follows :— White Rose Crew. Regatta Challenge Cup Crew. bow R. S. Moss.

2 R. F. Yates.

3 J. Richardson. str. H. N. Hodd. cox A. Dixon.

bow A. P. Thompson.

2 W. H. Griffith, Esq. 3 A. W. Ping, Esq. str. D. G. Ogilvie. cox G. B. Bridges.

The Regatta over we then turned our attention to the possibility of an eight race and owing to the generosity of York City Rowing Club we were permitted to practise in one of their eights. A race against a York City crew was arranged and took place on Monday, 14th July.

The race was most thrilling, as for a good part of the course the two boats were almost level and then first one crew and then the other would gain a slight lead. At the finish at the Guildhall steps the York City crew won by a quarter of a length. bow A. R Walton.

2 L. G. Lace.

3 R. S. Moss.

4 D. G. Ogilvie.

5 A. P. Thompson.

6 R. F. Yates.

7 J. Richardson. str. H. N. Hodd. cox A. Dixon.

We now have to say au revoir to a number of our best and keenest oarsmen—H. N. Hodd, who has successfully captained the Club for over two years, has always done his best to help on the School rowing and to keep the general interest alive.

Himself an oarsman of no mean ability we hope to hear more of his efforts in the rowing world.

R. F. Yates, has always been a mainstay to the Club by rowing whenever and wherever he was wanted. Bow side or stroke side have suited him equally well and if there had been another side in which he could row, he would without doubt have been a success there.

SWIMMING -NOTES.

887

J. Richardson, being of a very conservative spirit, did not take very kindly to bow side when circumstances made it necessary to change over—however, he soon adapted himself and rowed on bow side with his customary skill.

R. S. Moss has always rowed in his quiet but very effective way—his style of rowing is good and neat, in spite of his being " late " occasionally.

D. G. Ogilvie, Who we congratulate on being awarded his colours, is also leaving us, which is a pity, as he has only been " discovered " as an oar quite recently and with another year's practice he would have been a really first rate oar.

We congratulate A. P. Thompson on getting his colours and also A. R. Walton and L. C. Lace on getting their second colours and hope they will maintain the keenness and high standard of rowing which undoubtedly has existed in the School rowing this year.

SWIMMING NOTES. The Clerk of the weather did his best, during the first three weeks of term, to drown any inclination to spend much time in the S.W. corner of the Football Field.

Then suddenly that inscrutable gentleman changed his mind, and, towards half-term, chaste and glistening in a coat of very special white paint, Aphrodite of the Baths rose radiant from her Winter sleep ; since then her popularity has never waned.

The principle event of the Term was the Swimming Sports which took place on St. Peter's Day. Below are the results.

O.T.C. NOTES. The early parades of the term were utilised for miniature range practice, drills and tactical exercises. A miniature range Section Competition resulted in a win for No. 10 Section, who therefore received the Wilson Cup for rifle Shooting. It has been suggested that next year we might embark upon long range rifle shooting at Strensall with a view to sending an eight to compete for the Ashburton Shield at Bisley. This is a laudable ambition. It would involve the formation of a rifle club, whose members would, I think, find their time pretty well occupied and be unable to take part in other games during the Summer term.

The Officer's Cup for Drill and Manoeuvre also went to L/Cp. Triffit's No. 10 Section after a very keen and close competition, in which I am glad to say the standard of work was much higher than last year and indeed among the leading sections very good.

The Fernie Cup for the best individual Cadet went to U/Officer J. Richardson.

The Annual Inspection took place on the 17th July, by Colonel W. H. Allgood, C.M.G., D.S.O. The report has not yet been

received, but, judging from the Inspecting Officer's remarks at the conclusion of the parade, it should be a good one. The ceremonial drill was smartly carried out and all platoons acquitted themselves creditably in the subsequent work.

The Corps goes into Camp on the 29th of the month at Stobs, near Hawick, some 95 Cadet strength. When is that hundred mark going to be topped ? Two cadets, Dobree and Robinson, are going to the Duke of York's camp in the South.

Promotions since the last issue are :— Cpl. Storrs Fox, to be Sergeant.

L/Cpl. Sutcliffe. to be Corporal.

The Band under the able teaching of Mr. Fox is to be congratulated on having made s very marked improvement in their time and pitch.

The acquisition of the new Fields near the river has been of considerable benefit to us this term for battle practice. There is, however, a rumour to the effect that the Pyrenees field will not in the future afford such cover for the troops as heretofore. }

SCIENTIFIC SOCIETY EXPEDITION. The Annual Excursion took place this term on Thursday, June 5th. Skipwith Common was visited. By about 3 o'clock the whole party, with a few exceptions, were on the Common, and many were to be seen in various stages of undress, hunting, waist-deep, in the lakes for Gull's eggs. Many made big hauls, but did not succeed in bringing them all back, unbroken.

People with cameras were rather unfortunate, as before they got near the gulls, the latter disturbed, and flew high in the air, not alighting until some time after. A very excellent tea was'provided at Riccall, after which the party returned to York, some by train and others on cycles. H.S.B.

THE JUNIOR SCHOOL. St. Olave's has again enjoyed a term free from any serious illness or epidemic. Interest in Natural History subjects has been raised to a,high pitch and very few days have passed without some new wild flower or insect being found and added to the collection,

JUNIOR SCHOOL.

The Swimming Baths have been a great source of attraction and it was a matter of immense satisfaction when we were allowed to have a bathe after " Prep." Quite a number Of the Junior School boys have passed the School swimming test, viz. : Batty, Dales, Greeves, Hardy, Wharram, Taylor, J. A. B., Stoker, Scholey, Foster, Blackburn, E., Seabarne.

An event which happened last term after the Peterite had gone to press must be noted, viz. : the impromptu Sports for the boarders. Events as follows :25o Yards open. 1st, Taylor. 2nd, Perry.

25o Yards under rx. ist, Barron. 2nd, Williams, A. Wheelbarrow Race. Hughes and Taylor.

High Jump under II. 2ft. loins. Coward.

Three-legged Race. Taylor and Williams, E. F.

JUNIOR SCHOOL GAMES. The acquisition of the new fields by the river has been a great help to the Junior School Games, as it has been found possible to keep the river field entirely for St. Olave's. The new net has been pitched there and has been of the greatest use as it is not now necessary to use games half holidays entirely for nets.

Voluntary rolling squads (sometimes before breakfast), have succeeded in getting quite a good r: et wicket, although the games pitch at present is not as good as it might be, chiefly owing to the activities of horses and cows who strayed over it when it was soft.

Coming to the games themselves, the term has been fairly successful. As usual great keenness has been shown throughout the term and apart from matches several most exciting games have been played in which large scores were made in a short time. Saturday evening matches have been played against the various House Juniors of which St. Olave's lost against the School House. the Manor and the Grove, but won against the Rise. In School matches Terrington Hall was twice defeated by a very narrow margin, while Grosvenor House won twice, owing to a disastrous collapse of the St. Olave's batting on both occasions.

JUNIOR SCHOOL.

893

On the whole the team was stronger in bowling than in batting.

While most 'of the side were capable of making runs, they were rather unreliable, especially in matches. The fielding and catching was sound.

The bowling of the team was done chiefly by Perry, Nutt, Hughes and Cameron, but in Wharram and Young we had quite useful reserve bowlers. In batting, Cameron, Young, Nutt and Hughes were the most successful ; Perry played some excellent innings in practice games but failed to come off in matches.

In the first Terrington match, Cuthbertson, in partnership with Nutt, did much to win the match. Wharram and Dales showed at times that they could hit hard and both Williams and Hardy made runs at times in various styles.

At wicket, Hardy who replaced Dales, who was hurt in the middle of the first Terrington match, has proved an able substitute, and has been responsible for several wickets by catches and stumping.

The team was :—P. M. Perry (capt.), G. E. F. Hughes, W. A. Nutt, A. K. Cameron, J. M. Young, M. J. Wharram, J. R. Cuthbertson, E. F. Williams, C. P. Hardy, J. H. Dales, J. A. B. Taylor, Also played, B. E. Symmons.

CORRESPONDENCE. The Editors of The Peterite, St. Peter's School.

DEAR SIRS, I should like to take this opportunity of sincerely thanking all those masters who have so kindly and regularly given up their time to coach the Rowing both last term and this. Owing to illness I was unable to thank the coaches last term, but I trust it is not too late to do so now.

On behalf of the Rowing Club, I should like to say how much we appreciate the instruction given us by Mr. Ping, Mr. Rhodes, Mr. Hutchins and Mr: Griffith. This term Mr. Ping has given a great deal of valuable time to the School Boat and we all appreciate it very much. Mr. Rhodes has worked wonders with the Club crew and, I am sure, will continue to do so. Mr. Hutchins and Mr. Griffith have been jointly responsible for the Reserves and the Rowing Club thanks them heartily for their untiring work. Unfortunately we are losing both this term. The Rowing Club will miss them sorely as
