SCHOOL LETTER,. .I:ICKET is now over, and we are glad to be aide to say that on the whole we have had a fairly successful season ; having won 6, lost 7, and drawn 2.

The best scores of the season were made by P . St . G. Kirke (73 not out and 46), R Harrison (64 and 63), B . St . G . Kirke (43 and 42), and M . I1 . T . Roy 41.

It is with great regret we have to announce the departure of Mr . 11 undford . Our sorrow can hardly be expressed in words . He has been with us now for thirteen years, and has always been kind and sympathetic to all alike . The Old Boys will miss him quite as much as those at present here, if that is possible . Mrs . IIandford will be missed quite as much, as all Old Boys will know who have enjoyed her kind hospitality from time to time . 't'heir's was always an open house for Old Boys of' whatever generation, and we can say that our Old Boys are much more in touch with the school than elsewhere.

The new Head Master has been elected, namely, the Rev . E . C. Owen . AVe wish hint all success.

Tlw Dean kindly gave us a whole holiday on Mafeking day, which we utilized to the fullest advantage.

Wo have much pleasure in presenting to our readers a view of part of the School, including the School House, some Form-rooms and the Central Hall .

Training for the Sports has begun a long time, even before the cricket matches were over, so let us hope some of the School records may be broken, as in the Amateur Athletic Championship We must congratulate S . A . Mellor on getting an exhibition at Hertford College, Oxford.

Commemoration day was quite as great a success as usual, the Chapel being most tastefully decorated by Mrs . Ilandford and some of her guests . The Old Peterites won the Cricket Match, being strongly represented, but E . St . G . Kirke, who got the batting average last year, and the bowling average this, was absent on the School side, which weakened the team considerably.

Finally, we must congratulate Mr . Yeld on his fine performance for the Masters against the School, in which match the Masters, after having 4 wickets down for 4 runs, made 152, thanks to a long stand between Mr . Yeld and E . Yeld, which yielded 87 runs . The School then made 1=16 for 6 wickets, Harrison making 63 . E . Yeld took 3 wickets for 28 .

This match was played on the Asylum ground on Tuesday, May 29th . As usual, the School had to field first, and Leonard and Dunning opened the bowling . Milnthorpe and Parry started for the Asylum and immediately began to score freely, getting eight runs off Leonard's first over, which caused hint to be relieved

by P . Kirke . The score, however, quickly rose, until Parry was caught by Fisher, after making a useful 24 (45-1-2-1) . Best followed, and after being missed before he had scored, was run out (53-2-5) . Only another run had been added when Milnthorpe was clean bowled by Neilson (54-3-26) . Hingsten failed to score, and at 81 Dr . Hayden succumbed to Neilson . Muchall and Waterhouse scoring freely, carried the score to 109, before the former was caught by Leonard off Roy . Hill came in and helped to raise the score to 134 for the seventh wicket . The rest gave little trouble and the innings terminated for 144 .

CRICKET .

The School started with E . Kirke and Newton, but only four had been scored when the former was most foolishly run out, and at 6 Newton succeeded iii running himself out . Harrison and Dunning took the score to 26 before the latter was bowled by Harbottle for a useful 11 (26-3-11) . Harrison and P . Kirke then stayed a long time together and put on runs slowly . The latter, however, succumbed to Milnthorpo and four wickets were down for 40 . lioy, aided by four lives, was very useful, but Harrison was unfortunately bowled by Ilingstou, after staying in forty minutes for an extremely useful 15 . Neilson quickly hit up ten, but was then bowled by Benson, who had gone on with slows, and proved very successful . The sixth wicket fell at 62, and, the last four wickets adding 21, the innings closed for 83 . or 61 behind the Asylum score . But for the unpardonable errors at the beginning of the innings the result might have been different, and it might be here pointed out that it is only under very exceptional circumstances that it is worth while risking a wicket for one run .

CRICKET. ST . PETER ' S SCHOOL V . DURHAM SCHOOL.

Played on the School ground on Saturday, June 2nd . Durham won the toss, and Bell and Pearson opened the innings, to the bowling of P . Kirke and Punning . Pearson scored a single off the first hall, but with his second Kirke howled Bell . 11 . de( 1 respign n came in, and started scoring quickly ; the score rising rapidly, till Pearson, who had survived an appeal at the wicket, was given out lbw . to Kirke . Previous to this Neilson had relieved Dunning. who was being very freely scored off . Neilson, however, was no more successful in keeping down the runs . E . Kirke went on and clean howled Hicks, the next man, in his second over . H . deCrespigny continued to score freely, hut the other batsmen were more cautious.

At 86, however, Fitzgerald was thrown out by E . Kirke, from cover, and four wickets were down fur 82 . G . Henderson was quickly got rid of, and, at 92, de Crespigny was bowled off his pads by E. Kirke . Jackson and P . Henderson were howled in one over by P . Kirke . The last wicket made a stand, and, aided by byes, added 17, the innings terminating for 119, not a large score, considering the hardness of the wicket, which was almost fiery.

P . Kirke and E . Kirke opened the School innings, and in Bell's first over scored 16 runs . Bell had his revenge, however, in his next over as he clean bowled P . Kirke with only 11 on the hoard (11-1-8) . Newton came in and after making a single and a tla r ce was bowled by a curly ball from Gough . Dunning, who followed, shared a similar fate, and three wickets were down for 25 . Kirke and Harrison then made a short stand adding 19 for the fourth wicket, before the latter had his off stump removed by a leg-break from Bell (44-4-12) .

Fisher was disposed of in the same howler's

next over and five wickets were down for 52 . The School's chances at this point appeared none too rosy, especially as Boy and Neilson were soon bowled by Fitzgerald, and 10 were required to win with only three wickets in hand . At this point Scott came in and contented himself with stopping the bowling, while Kirke did the scoring . The score rose steadily, and hopes were entertained that the match would be won without further loss . At 85, however, a

865

CRICKET .

beautiful off-break from Bell took Kirke's leg-stump and all chance of winning seemed over . Leonard followed and hit well making four 3's before being yorked by Gough, and 14 runs were still requir ed to win . Crosthwaite and Scott played very carefully, treating the bowling with great respect, and presently there was one run required to win, when Crosthwaite scored a 3 and thus won the match, amid great enthusiasm . Scott was bowled by Bell next ball . The credit of winning lies with E . Kirke, who scored 43 in 50 minutes without giving a chance, with Scott who stayed in over an hour for his 13, and thus gave the others a chance of making the runs, and with Leonard and Crosthwaite, who went in at a very critical time, and hit hard when they did hit . The watch will be remembered as one of the closest in the annals of our contests with Durham, especially as, more than once, we seemed to have no chance of winning . Durham have now won 22 to our 2 I . Full score and analysis : ST . PETE1t' S.

made a stand, adding 21 for the second wicket . Then the former, who had been missed at the wicket, was caught in the slips off Dunning, and at 3-1 Johnson was howled (34-3-12) . At 12 Grieve was clean bowled, and at i England suffered the same fate.

Saxelbye and Thompson made a good stand for the sixth wicket, putting on 20 before a separation was effected, P . Kirke bowling Thompson . Only a rein later Saxelbye was caught by Neilson (81-7-16) . E . Kirke then bowled Longhurst and Newell with successive balls . The next ball shaved Smith's wicket but did not hit it . After making 4 he was howled . Loth bails . curiously enough, landing about three yards in front of the wicket . Hynters thus scored 85.

E . Kirke and Scott opened the School inings . Kirke started to hit at once, but after giving two very ]tot chances to mid-on, and to the howler, was caught at mid-off, where Scott was also caught . Newton was bowled by Smith after making 12, and at the same total P . Kirke succumbed to a shooter front Thompson, and four wickets were down for 28 . Harrison and Dunning took the score to 57, when the latter was bowled by Thompson . C'rosthwaite was out lbw . to Wood only 11 runs later, and six wickets were down for 68, with still 20 to make . Harrison and Neilson quickly took the score to 107 before the latter was caught . At 121 Harrison was clean bowled by Longhurst after making a splendid 64, in which were five hits out of the ground and twelve boundaries, seven of which were in succession . This was the first innings of over 50 made this season . Leonard and Roy made 28 for the ninth wicket and the last added 6, the innings closing for 155 or 70 in advance or the 11ymers total.

With an ]tour and a half to play Hymers went in again . When only 4 had been scored Wood ' s off stump was removed, and at 18 ]Braithwaite was clean bowled by P . Kirke . Johnson and Grieve were well caught and, nobody else offering mach resistance to the bowling, the innings terminated for 51, so that the School won by an innings and 16 runs . E . Kirke had, in the whole match, the excellent analysis of 1 .2 wickets for 47 runs, twice no :11.13 doing the hat trick, and P . Kirke secured 6 wickets for 5 4 .

CRICKET.

I'Anson got in front to E . Kirke . Gilbert followed and, after being very nearly bowled once or twice in his first over, played very different cricket to the outgoing batsman, scoring 14 in one over from Neilson, who had relieved 1' . Kirke . At 108 he was clean bowled by Roy, having made 54 by free cricket, which was slightly marred by two hard chances in the slips at 11 and 15.

Mitchell succeeded, but succumbed to his third ball from Roy . as did Kingsland 6 runs later, (114-5-5) . Gathorne and Randell made another stand, taking the score to 153, before the latter, who had just topped the fifty, was thrown out from cover by E . Kirke.

The last four wickets added 36, and the innings ended for 179, a very formidable score to go in against, considering that the School had been fielding four hours in a blazing stff . To add to the difficulties, a thunderstorm cause up which caused

play

to be

stopped for a short time, and after which the ball shot a good deal, on a wicket that had never been very hard.

Scott and E . Kirke opened the School innings, and had scored 30 without being separated, when the thunderstorm stopped play, owing to the difficulty of seeing the ball when the flashes of lightning took place . On the resumption of play the light was very bad, and at 34 Kirke was bowled by a shooter from Kingslaud.

Newton took his place and the score was taken to 53 before he returned a ball to Gilbert . At 6I Scott was bowled by a ball, of whose whereabouts he was apparently quite ignorant, having contributed a very useful 13 . Dunning went in, but after making 8 was caught in the slips by I'Anson off How . Without any addition, Leonard was bowled by flow, and 5 later Neilson was caught in the long field off I ' Ansou, who had gone on with lobs.

Harrison, after giving one or two chances at the beginning of his innings, afterwards hit freely, retaking two 4's in succession off 1'Auson, who had 19 runs hit off him iu two overs . P . Kirke and Harrison took the score to 101 before the latter was given out lbw ., a decision with which he seemed to disagree . Roy came in and helped to add 25 for the eighth wicket when Kirke was caught at mid-on (126-8-21) . K . Fisher left at the same total . G . Fisher and Roy took the score to 139 when Fisher was bowled by Gilbert

for a useful 10, a very creditable score as it was his first appearance for tho team, and was made at a critical moment.

The toss doubtless had a large share in the result, and it is a curious fact that in the last six ;ears the side that has won the toss has always won the match . This time the School had the disadvantage of having to go in rv'itlt a bad light, whereas during the morning it had been all that could be desired . Full score and analysis : POCKLINGTON SCHOOL.

At 33 Kirke was yorked by G. Crowther . Dunning scored three singles before being bowled by a leg-break from F . Crowther, and at 54 Newton was bowled by a ball which appeared to come in about a yard.

Roy and Harrison added 17 for the fifth wicket . The latter was then relieved of his off stump by Brown . Neilson followed and helped to add 1-1 for the next wicket, when he retu r ned one to F . Crowther . Shepherd went on to bowl but got 21 knocked off him in 3 ovens . A heavy shower of rain after dinner had made the wicket easy, and the ball difficult to hold . A long stand was made on P . Kirke joining Roy, -14 being put on in about but an hour.

The latter was then bowled by a shooter from G . ('rowther (129-721) . Leonard was unfortunately run out,

was

well caught by Harrison at cover, after having got within 6 of his fifty (163-10-44).

Sykes and Sh 'plterd started our opponents' innings . Tile latter was missed off E . Kirke from what seemed an easy chance in the slips before he had scored, and, profiting by his escape,, scored freely . With the score at 29, Sykes was well taken by Harrison at the wicket, and at 39 Shepherd was splendidly caught

by Scott with one hand at maid-off from a hot drive (39-2-2-1) . At the same total Brown was bowled by P . Kirke, as was Barnicot at -1-1.

SCHOOL V . LEEDS GRAMMAR SCHOOL.

At York, on Saturday, June 16th . Leeds won the toss and sent in Richardson and P . Munro . Both played carefully, but at 21 the latter had his off stump upset by E . Kirke Ti . Munro came in and a prolonged stand ensued . Various changes were tried and at last Munro was well caught at mid-off by R . Fisher, after making. 49 . Each of the succeeding batsmen helped to raise the score hut none managed to get double figures . Richardson, aided by four let-offs made 67 not out . The innings was declared closed at 187 for 9 wickets . E . Kirke took 5 wickets for 57 runs.

The Si hool started with E . Kirke and Newton, who got in front of a straight ball from Meld, when only 14 had been scored . Roy w as caught at point 3 nuts later . Harrison was soon out, and Dunning succumbed to Ilield without scoring . E. Kirke played on to Hield, at 30, after making 16 . P . Kirke and Neilson took the score to 43, when the former was caught at point by H . Munro .

CRICKET.

G A . Fisher helped to take the score to 59 . After that the end soon came, the innings closing for 64, or 123 behind the Leeds total . On the merits of the day's play Leeds were certainly the better team, but it must he remembered that the lionie team were tired with a long day's fielding, and consequently could not do themselves justice with the bat . The noticeable difference between the two teams was the fielding . Leeds missed no catches, we missed five, and thus materially added to the score against ns.

Played at Ampleforth on June 21st . Ampleforth won the toss, and Dawson took in with hint Gately . Only 2 had been made when the former, trying to pull a slow one from E . Kirke, missed it and was out lbw . At the same score Crean was run out, and at 20 Gately was out lbw . Only 2 had been added when Dowling, who succeeded, was caught at cover . The adjournment for lunch then took place After the re-start wickets fell very quickly, E . Kirke getting the last two wickets in successive halls . lie got five wickets for 10 runs, and P . Kirke four for 14.

CRICKET .

The School started even worse than Ampleforth had done, losing two wickets for no runs . At 7 E . Kirke was bowled off his foot by Burn . G. Fisher seemed the only one at all at home with the bowling, and made 9 before being caught in the slips . Wickets fell rapidly, and with only one wicket in hand, 6 runs were still required to win . Dunning and R . Fisher were the pair on whom this task devolved . Dunning scored a two off Foot, and then a single off Burn . Fisher then scored a single off the same bowler.

Foot bowled a no ball , and then Dunning scored another single, and the scores were equal . Fisher then hit a two, and two balls later scored another . The innings terminated for 36 . The School thus won by 8 runs . Burn, who curled in very much just before the ball pitched, had the splendid analysis of 7 wickets for 14 runs . The low scoring may, perhaps, be accounted for partly by the fact that the Ampleforth ground is not a good scoring ground, even under ordinary circumstances, and that a heavy storm just before the match made the balls keep low and come very fast off the pitch . The School have never this season played against a bowler with such a puzzling curl as Burn had, nor against such a fast bowler as Foot . Fisher and Dunning are to be congratulated on the way they made their runs at such a critical time . After the match Dunning received his colours.

P . Kirke won the toss and sent in R . Harrison and T . Newton, but the start was not encouraging as at 9 Newton was howled by F.

Bingham .. P . Kirke succeeded him and the score was taken to

33 before Kirke succumbed to R . Bingham (33-2-15) . Scott stayed in while 11 were added and was then out lbw . G . Fisher Caine next, and two overs later play was stopped for luncheon with the total at 44, Harrison not out 20, Fisher not out 0.

Play recommenced at 2-15, and runs came freely . Directly after the start Harrison was missed at point by Metcalfe, and was again missed at 28 . With the score at 97 G . Fisher was naught by Nelson in the long field, for 19, (97-4-19 . Dawning was missed off his first ball but settled down, till at 121 11 art ison was naught at point, after making 63, his second sixty this season . his innings lasted 78 minutes, and included 2 fours and 12 threes . Roy took his place, but 13 later Dunning retired for 1-1 . Roy was out 4 runs later, and Fisher shortly after . Crosthwaite then joined Neilson, and after being missed off his first ball, hit hard When 58 had been quickly added, Neilson returned a ball to Nelson and retired for a hard hit 32, marred by only one chance (201-9-32).

Leonard remained while 15 were added, and the innings closed for 216 . Crosthwaite was not out for 34, an extremely lucky innings, including six chances.

The Old Boys sent in Yeld and Lord . Early on Lord was missed at point and at 15 both batsmen were sent bank . Then the two Binghams made a stand and wore still together when stumps were drawn, the score standing at 120 for two wickets, P . Bingham, 70 not out, F . Bingham, 30 not out.

Neilson opened the bowling for the School and in his second over clean-bowled R . Bingham, who had made 79, though he had been missed at 35 by G . Fisher in the long field (135-3-79) .

Neilson secured Nelson ' s wicket, and Shepherd was soon rust out for 3 . F . Bingham was out to P . Kirke three runs later (161-6-99).

The remaining wickets fell quickly, and the innings closed for 176, or 40 in arrears . Neilson bowled right through the innings and therefore his analysis of 6 wickets for 73 is extremely creditable.

An unpromising start was made in the School's second innings.

RIDING ASYLUM.

On the Asylum ground on Saturday, July 11tH . The Asylum won the toss and sent in Milnthorpe and Parry . In E . Kirke's first over, Parry, who had hit a 4 and a 2, was caught at cover by P . Kirke . Best, who succeeded, and Milnthorpe took the score to 28 before the former was run out, as was the latter 2 runs later, and the Asylum had thus lost their three best men for only 30.

Waterhouse was well taken at the wicket off E . Kirke, and then a stand by Muchall and Hayden took the score to 47 for the fifth wicket, when the former was bowled by Neilson . Harbottle failed

to score and 6 wickets were down for 47 . Hayden and Hill added 20, and then Neilson bowled the latter . Hayden shared the same fate and, nobody else doing anything, the innings terminated for 72 . Neilson took 4 wickets for I I runs, and E . Kirke 4 for 38.

The School started very badly, as Parry dislodged Harrison's leg bail with his third ball, when no runs had been scored, and Crostluvaite was howled in Harbottle's first over . Two wickets were thus lost for no runs, when P . Kirke came in, and immediately started hitting . Newton contented himself with stopping the bowling, but at 30 was bowled by 11liluthorpe . E . Kirke came in and another long stand followed . P . Kirke scored very fast, getting three 4 ' s from successive halls from Milnthorpe . At 62 E Kirke was bowled by a curling full pitcher from IIarbottic, and then three more wickets fell in quick succession, 7 wickets being down for 64 . At 71 P . Kirke was bowled for an invaluable 46, in which were five 4 ' s . His innings, though somewhat lucky, was made at a very critical time, and as it was his first high score of the season, it was very opportune . Fisher and Roy made another stand, the former, as in the Ampleforth match, having the honour of making the winning hit . Both scored freely, but at 94 Roy was bowled by Harbottle . Scott did not give any trouble, so that Fisher was not out 21 . The innings closed for 104, the School thus winning by 32 runs.

SP . PETER ' S V . YORKSHIRE GENTLEMEN. The School won the toss and went in on a wicket which played very queerly . Harrison and Newton were soon out . On E . _Kirke being bowled off his pads, three vvie :tots were down for 8 runs.

The rot continued and, P . Kirke being the only one to do anything with the bowling, the innings ended for 38.

The Yorkshire Gentlemen then went in and did not do much better than the School, only topping the School score after they had lost 5 wickets . N . Firth made some

very

good strokes before

being unluckily run out, owing to smart fielding at cover by the substitute for E . Kirke, who strained his side in the second over, and was unable to take further part in the day's play . None of the succeeding batsmen did much against the bowling of 1' . Kirke and Neilson, the former of whom took 4 wickets for 37, and the latter 4 for 26, having at one time 4 for 11.

That the match should have been played on a pitch that had been under water the night before, seems casual on the part of the Yorkshire Gentlemen, to say the least of it . The School captain was not told about it till after the match so that he naturally took first innings, which he would not have done if he, had known, as the wicket, which was difficult at first, became very much easier by the time the Gentlemen went in.

Sr . PETER ' S SCHOOL V. GARFORTII C .C. Played on the School ground June 14th.

Kirke won the toss and sent E . Kirke and if . Harrison in to hat on a perfect cricket . Both players scored quickly, and the score was raised to 62 in 33 minutes, when, in hitting at a full toss to leg, Harrison was caught for a well played 23 . Crosthwaite took Harrison's place, and the pace slackened a little . E . Kirke made a risky stroke through the slips, which happily did not come within reach of any fielder, but at 91 E . Kirke was caught off NV . Tate in trying to cut the slow bowler . The retiring batsman had made 42 by attractive cricket, including eight boundaries.

1' . Kirke came to tile wickets, but after seven runs had been added Crosthwaite was caught at the wickets for 18, which ineludcd two hand chances to the bowler (98-3-18) . Newton was the new comer, and played steadily, while P . Kirke ]tit . After surviving two appeals for l .b .w . he was given out (13 .2-1-t l) . Boy carne in and was missed oil' his first ball, but was bowled shortly after for eight (146-5-8) . Neilson hit hard, and 27 were added in 12 minutes before Neilson was bowled (173-6-13) . Dunning failed to score A . R . Fisher and P . Kirke, by vigorous hitting, added 45 in 18 minutes, when Fisher was bowled for 23, including 4 threes and a four (218-8-23) . G. Fisher came in, and 23 were added in live minutes, when Fisher was run out (241-9-7) . Leonard made 10, and the innings closed for 251, P . Kirke being not out with 73 to his credit, his chief ]tits being seventeen threes.

Frequently running down the pitch, he, made these runs

itt

1 hour

:39 minutes. It is rather a curious thing that, just as last year, during the course of the last match three different players held the batting average—viz . : 1: . 11 arrison, E . Kirke, and 1' . Kirke—this scoring in the match reversing the order to P . Kirke, E . Kirke, and R . Harrison.

CRICKET.

Garforth started their innings at 5 .30 with H . E . Walker and H. Dawson, facing the bowling of Neilson and P . Kirke . When Walker had only made four he gave a hot chance to E . Kirke at cover off P . Kirke, which that player just failed to hold . Profiting by this let off, he, together with Dawson, carried the score to 89, when the latter was bowled by Harrison, for 17, compiled in 67 minutes . W . Tate then partnered lValker, and the two together played out time, Walker being again missed this time at the wicket off P . Kirke, from the last ball, having made 67 runs in 90 minutes . The result of the match, consequently, was a draw.

After the match the following received their 1st XI . colours :— M . H . 'l' . Roy, A . R . Fisher, T . C . Newton, W . II . C'rosthwaite, G . A . Fisher, and H . S Leonard Appended is the full score and analysis .
