SCHOOL LETTER. h: would call the attention of our readers to the interesting letter of the Bishop of Caledonia which was commenced in our last number and is concluded in- our present ; the school has for many years subscribed to his mission, and his account shows that it is a mission which deserves to be well supported. The cricket fixtures on the card have now all been played, and our record for the season shows 17 played, 6 won, 4 drawn, 7 lost . We refrain from needless comment, as full accounts of all but the last two or three matches will be found elsewhere : after a somewhat easy victory at home, we lost to Durham away : the Durham air must be at fault, as the football team met the same fate . Sullivan ' s batting has been the chief feature of the year : two centuries, one against the Yorkshire Gentlemen, the other against the Old Boys is an event that does not occur every year in school cricket, and «heelwright ' s two fifties in the same matches require a more eloquent tongue than ours to describe them. Commemoration Day was a great success, and the cricket match was well patronised : we were delighted to see the kindly face of the Dean of fork, both at the luncheon and at the cricket match. We cannot quit the subject of cricket without remarking on the excellent condition in which the ground has been kept this season, considering the dryness of the season, and the increased number of matches, this is especially praiseworthy and a great change for the -better .
