The death took place at Clifton, on January 8th, of an Old Peterite, Charles W. Lister-Kaye, in his 86th year. Born at West Huntington Hall, on March 28th, 1849, he went to St. Peter's School in March, 1860, leaving in December, 1863, to go out to an uncle's Sheep Station in Queensland. He spent ten somewhat adventurous years in the Bush, but was obliged to return to England after that time on the death of his father: He then took up farming and land agency, learning the work on the Escrick Estate, and later became resident agent to the Right Hon. F. J. S. Foljambe at Osberton, Notts., a post which he held for 42 years. At the same time he managed several other estates in Notts. and Yorks., and was a well-known agriculturist, and judge of hunters and shorthorn cattle.

In his younger days he frequently played cricket for the Yorkshire Gentlemen, and was a useful bowler. On his retirement from business, in 1925, he came to live at Clifton, York, and became keenly interested in his old school, and was a frequent spectator at the cricket matches until his illness.
