358 The Boat Club has flourished, in spite of alleged sarcasm directed at it by the cricketers; having failed to win anything in the York Regatta, the boaters restored their reputation by beating a very strong York City VIII in the annual, VIII race ; following this success, a IV 'has been entered for Tyne Regatta, which, unfortunately, occurs too late in the term for an account to be given in " The Peterite." Old Peterites have worthily maintained the reputation of the School in many activities. J. E. C. Hill outshone a bevy of scholars to win the Lothian Essay prize at Oxford, while in the sphere of sport, A. B. Sellers has again captained Yorkshire at cricket, and H. S. Burrows has done great things at tennis and won international honours, playing for England against Wales. The General Inspection. of the O.T.C. resulted in a very complimentary report, which amply repaid the considerable amount of work done in the first-half of the term. .

For the rest, it is set out in the pages which follow, and we will not presume to repeat it here. And so it is with mixed feelings that we lay down the editorial pen for the last time; feelings of regret mingle with the satisfying thought that all is well with the School ; so may it long continue

This, as was only to be anticipated, has proved rather a mixed, Messing. Old Peterites, like most other undergraduates, have been torn between the delights of the river and tennis courts, and the•ever pressing, need to work for the May exams. These came at the hottest part of the term, but are now, fortunately, nearly over.
