No . 57.

EDITORIAL. HE first task of the Editors in introducing this Peterite to the world is to apologise for its not appearing sooner . This they hasten to do, and express hopes they may not be found so remiss in the future. The number of Peterites which we issued last year was incomplete, and this number is therefore added as a supplement to those of 1885 . The fact that we appeared in print on the last day of last term seems almost to preclude the possibility of a School Letter, so we will say here all that is to be said of School news . The Theatricals passed off as successfully as ever, on both nights there was a goodly assemblage, among whom were a large number of old boys, on the second night we saw with pleasure the Dean was present . The prologue, written by Mr. Yeld, was this year delivered in the form of a dialogue between the three ladies of the play, who over their tea discussed the doings of the school during the past year, we regret that we cannot give it to our readers . The football season is, we believe, not properly at an end, some matches having been arranged for this term, but as the Christmas term is always our football term par excellence, we give further on a short review of the past with the characters of last term ' s team . Another matter which lies near to the editorial heart we would fain speak of. The Peterite professes to be the Magazine of the school, and yet beyond the ordinary school news, we rarely or never receive any contributions to it from any one in the school, and though the school is now composed in a greater proportion than formerly of day boys, we believe there are only about fifteen of these who subscribe ; surely it might be possible to improve on this state of things. And now having given this word of introduction we will leave tie readers of the P tcrite in other and better hinds which have written for us on the play, football, and other subjects .
