SCHOOL LETTER. E are again in the middle of the Examinations and and everyone is working hard, as is usual on these occasions. To revert to our usual topic, we can safely say that it is the hottest summer that we have had for a long time, and we are badly in want of rain. Everyone knows the result of heat on peoples' energy, and we therefore ask to be excused from writing a long letter. However, we will endeavour to enumerate the chief objects of interest which have occurred during the last half of the term.

We must first congratulate E. S. N. Bulmer on his brilliant success at Durham University. The Cricket team has only met with fair success. The Annual Expeditions of the Choir, the Photographers and the Natural History Society were all very successful, and beautiful weather was attendant to each. A full account of these respective expeditions may be found elsewhere. In conclusion we beg to be pardoned for the lateness of our last number, but we will offer no excuse—qui s'excuse s'accuse.

A HOLIDAY IN THE MEDITERRANEAN. Part. I. There are various ways of " seeing " places. Perhaps the ideal is to travel in a private yacht or motor, and spend just so long as one wishes at each place. But motors are not for every one and, as the poet might have said, " Non cuivis homini contingit habere phaselum,"

A HOLIDAY IN THE MEDITERRANEAN.

so the humbler mortal must be content to take other chances of travelling, such as come under the name of excursions. And he need not mind being referred to as a tripper (as on one occasion we were), if it is his good fortune to travel with a genial company of enthusiasts, many of whom have " been there before," and are ever ready to share their stores of knowledge.

With such a company on board our ship we left Marseilles for a tour of three weeks among the Isles of Greece. The Gulf of Lions for once belied its reputation, and we passed through it undisturbed by roaring, and the following morning sailed between the Straits of Bonifacio. .

A day of bright warm sunshine in the Mediterranean was a pleasant contrast to an English April of cold and wet, such as we learned later that we had escaped.

The Lipari Islands were sighted about mid-day the next day.

A mere casual observer might infer their volcanic nature from a distant view of sharp conical peaks standing out of the sea. The famous Stromboli disappointed us, being covered with a thick smoky cloud. Towards evening we approached the Straits of Messina. A revolving light showed the extreme spit of land on the Sicilian side. As we rounded this, the lights of Messina came into view. We could not distinguish the sickle shaped harbour which gave the place its ancient name of Zancle. But the scene was magnificent—on our left the bold Italian coast line swept down to the straits through which flowed waters so calm that it was hard to realize the terrors which the ancients conceived and magnified into Scylla and Charybdis. Towards midnight we were leaving Sicily in our rear and coasting the southern shores of Italy.

All the next day we crossed the Ionian Sea and appeared to strike the direct line of migrating birds, for numbers of various species flew about our ship and rested in various parts of the rigging or decks. Among others were the yellow wagtail, a nightingale, and a hoopoe, a beautiful creature nearly all white, except for the upper part of its wings and a magnificent orangecoloured crest.

There was a grand view of the Parnassus range of mountains, covered with snow, in the early morning as we turned to enter the inlet in the Corinthian Gulf, at the head of which This latter place stood the ancient Cirrha, the port of Delphi.

We landed early and after passing was our first destination. through an olive grove along the level for about three miles, climbed a steep ascent till we reached Delphi, about 2,000 feet up the mountain. We noticed numbers of women plying spindle and distaff, engaged in the same occupation as their ancestors from time immemorial.

The most notable relic in the museum is a magnificent bronze statue, life size, of a charioteer holding the " ribbons" in his hand and in such a fine state of preservation that the eyelids still show us the wonderful skill and realistic touch of the master hand.

After a visit to the Castalian spring we ascended to the stadium.

It is a level two hundred yards course, literally on the mountain side, and with little preparation, athletic sports might be held there to-day. The spectators' seats are there, lining the course, the judges' boxes too, and even the marks from which the runners " took off "—a stone line with a groove down the middle, which gives an admirable push off.

The conception of having a racing course at such an elevation. so that the spectators looked over the beautiful valley to the hills beyond and around, combining the freshness of the mountain air and the full glorious light of the god in whose honour the games were held, was truly characteristic of the Greek spirit, and left an ineffaceable impression of their genius on the mind.

We descended to the theatre and through the temple and its precinct down by the sacred way. The French excavators have marked out with wonderful precision the sites of the various treasure houses and offerings from city states to the god of the world-famous oracle. We descended and rejoined the ship the same evening. Passing through the Corinth canal at night we found ourselves anchored next morning off the Peiraeus harbour with Salamis behind us, the coast of Aegina stretching further away still, and before us all round, the hills of Attica, Hymettus, Pentelicus, Parnes and away in Boeotia, Cithaeron.

374

A HOLIDAY IN THE MEDITERRANEAN.

We spent the day in Athens, visiting the Museum in the morning and exploring the Acropolis in the afternoon. The view of the Acropolis from the Peiraeus as one approaches Athens from that direction is disappointing. But when we came to stand on the hill and gaze round. the beauty of the situation became apparent ; and the deep-blue of the sky, showing up in strong contrast against the marble of the temples shining bright in the sunlight, the clear air which gave us a far prospect over land and sea, with the glorious city of such historic memories lying just below, all combined to form a scene not easily to be forgotten.

The next day we took train at Peiraeus and went northward through Attica. The country is picturesque and in parts well wooded. Our destination was Chaeroneia. We passed through Boeotia, which seems as rural and agricultural to-day as it was when Hesiod gave his sage maxims of worldly wisdom to his countrymen. There was not very much to see on the large flat plain of Chaeroneia, except a restored monument of a lion, which was set up by the Boeotians in honour of their countrymen who fell in the battle of 338, and was left intact by all invaders until a Greek brigand shattered it in the middle of last century. There was a magnificent view of Parnassus all along the journey from Thebes and from this plain. The many stagnant pools swarmed with tortoises and frogs, which latter gave one a startling reminder of the accuracy of Aristophanes, when he reproduces their peculiar noise by Pp6ceKeic4 KO4 KOCif We stopped at Thebes on the return journey. The extent of the hill forming the Acropolis suggests that the city must once have been a large one, but few traces remain.

In the evening the train took us by the Euripus, through Aulis to Chalcis—where flows the wonderful tide, unexplained by ancients or moderns. It flows for four hours in one direction, then is almost stationary for twenty minutes, then turns and flows for four hours in the other.

Rejoining our ship in the Euripas we sailed down past Marathon, rounded Euboea and made straight for the North coast of Asia Minor. As we neared Lesbos, we saw to the north a snow.

covered peak which seemed to stand out of the sea. This was discovered to be Mt. Athos, and the distance measured on the chart from where we were, was roo miles. This gives some idea of the clearness of the air in those parts.

Assos was the next place at which we touched. The Acropolis stands on a steep rock, and there are various remains on the hillside—of a colonnade, an agora, and, on the other side much of the gate through which St. Paul probably passed when he journeyed on foot from Troas to Assos.

We now turned southward and sailed down the coast of Asia Minor from almost the northern extremity, for Assos lies just round the first bend, to the southern. The next stopping place was a small port named Dikili, where we distributed ourselves into parties of four and ascended native carts. These were, inside, like a hay cart, with the tops covered in, possessing no kind of seat, but a few scant cushions on which we had to squat, making ourselves as small as possible. Three and a half hours of this posture, save an occasional stop, on a road that would break the springs of an English brougham in half-an-hour, made us very glad to arrive at Bergama, as the modern Turkish town is called. The ancient Pergamon, famous as one of the seven Churches and the magnificent court and centre of the Hellenic world during the third century, B.0 , stood on the hill at the foot of which the modern town stands. There are very considerable Roman remains too, which show how important the place was under the Western Empire.

The streets through which we drove were very narrow and roughly paved with huge cobblestones—the shops immediately abutting on the road-way.

One of the most striking remains here is a spacious theatre, with tiers of seats up to a hundred and twenty, and commanding a splendid outlook over the valley up which we had driven, with the sea eighteen miles distant and the island of Lesbos beyond.

A fine temple to Zens adjoins the theatre, on a level with the stage, both being approached by a terrace along the hill-side. It is from the excavations of the Acropolis here by the Germans that the wonderful Pergamene sculptures, now at Berlin, were taken.

NATURAL HISTORY SOCIETY EXPEDITION.

NATURAL HISTORY SOCIETY EXPEDITION. The Annual Expedition of the Natural History Society took place this year on St. Peter's Day, June 2 9 th . The day was perfect for the purpose and promised us a successful day on Wass Moors, where Lord Feversham's agent had kindly permitted us to hunt. I think one of the great enjoyments of the day was the prospect of going off by the 8-3o train and leaving the remainder of the school to work during the morning. At about 9-10 a.m. the sight of the White Horse on the hills at Kilburn told us that our journey was nearing an end. Arriving at Coxwold, being the place selected for the centre of our expedition, the naturalists disembarked, leaving the photographic section in the train, who wished to go on to Helmsley, where they appear to have had a very successful day with their pictures.

Walking up into the village the first thing to be done was to order tea for about 35. We then dispersed in two's and three's in all directions.

At Coxwold there is a beautiful old church with an octagonal tower which is well worth photographing, and which became the target for many cameras later in the day when the photographers arrived for tea.

Few birds' eggs were collected, much to my regret, as that particular section of the museum sadly needs replenishing.

However, I think under the active eye of our member for " birds," A. A. Phillips, we may expect great things.

Goldfinches and other rare birds were seen by several members.

By far the most successful branch was the botanical section, which has just been started under the care of W. Ingham. Many specimens were collected and beautifully pressed and mounted with data, which are now in our museum. I am very pleased-to see that several members of the Society are taking up botany, and I hope others as successful as Ingham will come to the front.

Geology is also taken up by the Society, but only, at present, by a few of the younger members : a good field offered itself here for these in the chalk hills at Kilburn, about 3/ miles N.W. of Coxwold. A few specimens were collected.

NATURAL HISTORY SOCIETY EXPEDITION.

377

Lastly, but rightly first, the entomologist must be mentioned.

Leaving Coxwold, we walked along the road-side searching diligently and beating the hedges this, I may mention was neither for mischief nor amusement, as many specimens may be taken in this way which are not as a rule procured otherwise. By this we were successful in securing a few " bugs " as the uninitiated are pleased to call our precious specimens.

Arriving at Bvland Abbey we entered the ruin and the first thing we saw was a pair of the black variety of the peppered" moth.

We continued our search here for about half-an-hour, but found nothing further worthy of our notice but a variety of boys and ginger beer bottles. Before leaving the Abbey I should mention a most regretable incident : Not wishing to carry my bags and baggage more than necessary I put everything down by the entrance except net and killing bottle, but on returning what greater disaster could have occurred? my meat-pasties and sandwiches had disappeared.

However, having recovered my equilibrium we proceeded to wend our way up through Wass woods, enjoying the most beautiful and picturesque glades, and occasionally bagging a chalk hill blue,' or other wild beast. Whilst wandering here we were accosted by a keeper, who was evidently attracted by the unkempt appearance of what he could see of us, the greater part being covered with cameras, killing bottles, nets, tins, cans, boxes, etc., and he continued to maintain a hostile turn of mind till I produced a letter from the agent giving us permission to be there. The amusing part of this episode was that he could not read the letter, but fortunately was satisfied with my telling him the contents.

On the moors above the woods we had a most exciting time catching lizards and strawberries, and in chasing " oak eggars " up and down the heather, tumbling head over heels into big holes and over bramble-bushes.

Having altogether spent a very successful day in the field, and quite tired out we wormed our way back to Coxwold where we had previously arranged to meet the photographers, and here we all

378

OLD PETERITE DINNER.

enjoyed an exquisite and well-earned tea. Judging from remarks one hears, I think the general sentiment towards the entomologist is a weird feeling mingled with awe and fear. Time and space, however, will not permit of anecdotes in this shape.

I should like to take this opportunity of mentioning that our Natural History Museum has been removed from the Science block where no one ever saw it, and has been conveyed to a more suitable room. The Museum is still quite in its infancy, and though we have had many contributions this term there is still room for many more specimens of all sorts of animals, fossils, eggs, etc. We have had " show-cases" made for birds, and are having others made for various specimens, and are only waiting for further interesting instalments to complete the spectable.

THE OLD PETERITE DINNER, LONDON, 1905.

This Annual Meeting was held at the Holborn Restaurant on the 7th July. The Rev. Canon Pemberton presided and F. P. Fausset again acted for the Committee in making the necessary arrangements. Letters of apology for enforced absence were received from the Rev. R. Abbav, Y. Anderson, Canon Arthur Atkinson, F. A. Bulman, Chas. Farrell, the Rev. E. Evers, F. Hullah, S. Jackson, P. B Lambert, the Rev. W. H. Milner, Dr. Needham, the Rev. H. Richardson, W. Richardson, the Master of St. Catherine's College, Cambridge, H. R. Sandford, Archdeacon Stone, Sir Frank Swettenham, Col. Tozer, J. C, Walker and others.

The loyal toasts were proposed by the Chairman, and were followed by St. Peter's School, also proposed by him and answered by the Headmaster. The Chairman's health was proposed by the Bishop of Bristol. A wish was expressed during the evening that in future, Fridays and the second day of the Cricket Match should be avoided as much as possible for the date of the Dinner.

PHOTOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY.

THE CHOIR. On Tuesday, i8th July, the Choir were very kindly taken to " Jimmy's " for the afternoon by the Headmaster. A large chara-banc conveyed the sweet-voiced company—which included Miss Owen, Mrs. J. T. Grey, Miss Greenhow, Rev. E. C. Owen, Rev. W. S. Senior, Mr. Tendall and Mr. Squire—to Wigginton, which was reached about half-past three. After having shown their skill in the many games with which " Jimmy's" gardens abound, the Choir sat down to an excellent tea. There were plenty of strawberries and cream and " Logan Berries " a marvellous production of " James' " garden. To this repast everyone did full justice.

After tea everyone repaired to the Cricket field and sides were picked for rounders. It was finally decided that the Decani should play the Cantoris. After an exciting match the Cantoris won by two rounders to one. Miss Greenhow and Mr. Senior helped the Cantoris whilst the Decani had two useful men in Mr. Owen and Mr. Grey. After some time all went back to the gardens and there found refreshments awaiting them. After this it was announced that the char-a-banc was ready and we were only too soon reinstalled in our seats. " Jimmy" bade us all good-bye and we returned to the School once more. When the School was reached hearty cheers were given for the Headmaster and Miss Owen and for Mr. Tendall.

PHOTOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY. The annual Expedition of the above honourable and ancient Society took place on and July. The place decided upon this year was Helmsley. The camera fiends, who included Mr. Squire and Mr. Swift, were favoured with a beautiful day, and all started off by the 8-3o train from York. On arriving at Helmsley the party split up into small parties which proceeded to scatter themselves all over the picturesque little town. One particular quartette took

refuge down by the river, just outside Helmsley, as they wished to take some artistic woodland views. However, after a short time these four found the " clegs " too hot for them, and beat an ignominious retreat back to civilization. The Market Square was duly inspected, and when all the photos obtainable had been bagged our quartet set out for Rievaulx Abbey, which is very famous, and which is only about three and a half miles away. The road is all uphill and as there was a blazing sun it was very hot for walking. If one wishes to go inside the Abbey a shilling ticket has to be bought from the old lady living close by. This ticket also entitles the holder to visit the Temple and the Terrace. Two of our friends decided to " try their luck" and purchased a ticket ; thoroughly inspected the old Ruins and then essayed to climb the hill on which the Temple stands. They must have missed the path for our enthusiasts soon found themselves in a huge wood, through which they said they wandered for hours, arriving in the end at their starting place. A compass was produced and calculations made, and fortunately the road was reached, after which it was all plain sailing. The Terrace is a really wonderful affair, and was in splendid condition.

The photographers had agreed to walk back to Helmsley to catch the 5-30 train to Coxwold, where the Natural History Society were engaged in various pursuits. At Coxwold, also, tea was to be provided, and this was a great item. After tea the whole party repaired to the station to catch the train to York. This is without doubt the most successful expedition the Photographers have had for a long time.

Miss Husband has very kindly offered two prizes for the Photographical Competition this year.

The school won the toss and decided to bat. A. H. Ackroyd and M. W. Peters went in and began well, until Ackroyd was caught at 9.

Peters settled down to steady play but did not find a partner until Ede, who made his debut in the first eleven in this match, joined him, and punished the bowling severely until caught at 19. The tenth wicket fell with the score at 84, M. W. Peters being not out for a good 32, having carried his bat throughout the innings. The school now took the field, and E. N. Greenhow and 0. S. Jones opened the bowling. Greenhow obtained 2 wickets before M. T. Clegg relieved him and dismissed two of the Gentlemen for 37, and Jones being unsuccessful, Ackroyd went on in his place, and bowled well for his three wickets which only cost him 24 runs. Eight of our opponents wickets fell for 75 runs, when E. S. Jones found a partner in S. G. Squire, and together they raised the total to 165, when the former was very well caught by

very rapidly, Peters being particularly successful, and taking 7 wickets for 18 runs, including the " hat-trick," the other three falling to Jones, who howled most consistently throughout the innings and only had 18 runs knocked off his bowling.

After lunch, when their last wicket had fallen A. H. Ackroyd and M. W. Peters opened the school batting as usual, and though Peters did not seem quite at home with the bowling at first, he soon settled down, and the first wicket compiled 5 r runs. When the school had made 104, having only lost 4 wickets, they declared and put Ripon in again, but failed to get them out in time, having dismissed 7 wickets for 36 when stumps were drawn, the match resulting in a hollow win for St. Peter's.

CRICKET. ST. PETER'S V. HYMER'S COLLEGE.

This match was played at Hull, on the College ground. E. C. Peters lost the toss and Hymer's elected to bat. Johnson and Young came in first to face the bowling of Jones and M. W. Peters.

Johnson was missed first ball and began to hit about strongly, Young playing a very careful game. For some time the cricket was of a very poor nature both batsmen having several narrow escapes from being out.

After lunch E. C. Peters felt the effects of a slight sunstroke and a substitute took his place in the field. At io6 the first wicket fell, Johnson being clean bowled by M. W. Peters. The next man did not remain long and the third wicket fell at 115. Foord now came in and began to punish the bowling severely, making a stand with Young of 5o runs before he was caught in the long field off Clegg.

The next man was bowled by Bulmer, and the innings was declared closed at 186 for 5 wickets.

Ackroyd and M. W. Peters started the school innings. When the score was 9 however, Ackroyd was caught in the slips off Alexander, the ball pitching on a bump and going off the batsman's glove. Kirby, who followed, was caught by the same man off Alexander in precisely the same way as Ackroyd. Greenhow was the next man. and together with M. W. Peters a useful stand was made. The third wicket fell at 4r. Jones went in next but was soon bowled without any addition to the score.. Ede now joined Peters, who had been playing very well, but at 58 the latter was caught in the slips off Foster. Clegg was next out, the wicket falling for 74. There was yet every chance of drawing the game as tea had been arranged for 4-30, but when the time came it was found that the meal was not ready and this made our chance of a draw much less. Instead of playing a careful game the tail went in and tried to hit, which naturally resulted in only one run being added before the side was out—E. C. Peters being unfit to bat.

Thus we lost by 5 wickets and about 'co runs.

F. C. CROWTHER, ESQ.'S XI.

This match was played at home on the first Gala day. The school won the toss and chose to bat. The weather at first looked very threatening, but after lunch we were favoured with plenty of sunshine. Ackroyd and M. W. Peters went in and 17 was on the board before Grist caught Peters splendidly off his own bowling.

Kirby was out with the score at 25. Greenhow was next and played carefully, at lunch time no more wickets having fallen.

On resuming play Ackroyd played very good cricket. Greenhow succumbed to F. C. Crowther, who also bowled Clegg for the same total. Shortly after Grist bowled E. C. Peters, five wickets being down for +4_ runs. Ede was out lbw. with 7 to his credit, and was followed by Jones. A good stand was now made between Ackroyd and Jones, the latter playing a careful game whilst Ackroyd hit the bowling with ease, soon completing his fifty. At 1 18 Jones foolishly ran Ackroyd out, the latter having made 83, a very creditable performance. Wilcock did not stay long, but Anderson joined Jones and brought the score up to 134. before Jones was out. The innings was finally declared closed at 155 for 9 wickets.

CRICKET.

Whiteley and Shaw started batting for the other side but Shaw was bowled by Jones, no score having been made. Middlemost however hit about and the second wicket fell at 31, Whiteley being bowled by Greenhow. Soon after Middlemost was caught by Anderson off M. W. Peters. F. C.

ST. PETER'S V. GARFORTH.

Played on July 1st. Garforth batted first and Jones and Greenhow opened the bowling. The first wicket fell to Jones for six runs. After this, however, a good stand was made, the score being raised to 53 before the fall of the next wicket. Only two men made any praiseworthy scores (31, 36), the wickets falling fast to Jones' excellent bowling, and our opponents were dismissed for a total of 92.

Since Ackroyd was unluckily taken ill, M. W. Peters took in Kirby for first wicket partner. The former, however, was dismissed

CRICKET.

by the very good bowling of our opponents, and the first wicket fell for three runs. Kirby, however, continued to play very warily, and batted well for 17. Clegg and Greenhow each played a very useful innings—Jo and 15 respectively. After this, however, no one seemed able to settle down until Wilcock and Windle joined in an excellent last wicket stand, and playing most carefully raised our score from 54 to 84, when the latter was bowled, the game thus being lost by 8 runs.

The school were most unfortunate in this match in being without Ackroyd, who would doubtless have been a great help to the side.

POCKLINGTON G.S.

The School went in first, M. W. Peters being soon out to BriceSmith. Kirby and Ackroyd brought the score up to 24 before the former was excellently caught behind the wicket. Clegg played on till lunch, but was clean bowled by J. C. Dalton on resuming play. E. C. Peters was out lbw to the same bowler, and Greenhow was dismissed for five runs. Ede foolishly ran himself out after making three. All this time Ackroyd had been making light of the bowling, and was bowled by Guy, having made a smart so out

of 75. Things looked bad with 75 runs for 7 wickets, but Anderson and Jones made a capital stand together and brought up the score to 'oz. The side was out for 109. Pocklington now went in with every prospect of hitting up the required number of runs. Sale and Brice-Smith started the batting. They played very carefully for about a quarter of an hour, when Brice-Smith was bowled by a good ball from Jones. P. Dalton now came in and played very steadily. Sale was run out for six, and Massey came in.

No separation was effected between Dalton and Massey for a long time. The scoring was very slow, only 32 runs being made in the first hour. With 59 on the board Massey was bowled by Greenhow. The Pocklington captain, J. C. Dalton, was next, and a stand was made between the brothers Dalton. At 81 however, P. Dalton was bowled by Jones after making a careful .:}o. Guy, the next man, was bowled by Jones with only four runs added, and the next wicket tell for the same total. O'Meara now came in, and for several overs the bowling was too good to be hit much, Jones and Clegg keeping a good length. However, the runs were hit off just before time, and stumps were drawn with the score 123 for 7 wickets. Score and analysis :— POCKLINGTON SCHOOL.

Played on the school ground. Phillips won the toss and sent in Ede and Colley to face the bowling of Fayle and Douglas. With the total at 13 Colley was bowled by Fayle. Ede and Phillips played well until at 3o Phillips also fell to Fayle. Windle shared a similar fate with the total (4.0-3-6). Knowles and Ede put on 15 runs for the fourth wicket, when the latter was bowled for a wellplayed innings. The total finally reached 8z. Bootham started well, 3o being on the board with but two men out, but Colley and Hendley bowled so well that seven were out for 42. A stand was made for the eighth wicket, the score reaching 65 before Colley dismissed B.

Durham took first innings and soon mastered the York bowling, and with only four men out had .tz 1 runs on the board, but on Ede coming on the later Durham batsmen fared disastrously, all being out for 143. Ede claimed five victims, all

The school began bad by losing Ede with but six runs scored, but Knowles and Phillips made a good stand until Knowles was lbw. for eight (25-2-8). Phillips was out three runs later for a useful innings, and with Windle caught four were out for z8. Groves and Colley made a short stand, but after the latter had been run out the end soon came, Durham winning by 94 runs.

ST. PETER'S znd XI. v. BOOTHAM SCHOOL 2nd XI. Played on the Bootham ground on Wednesday, June 1st, and resulted in a win for Bootham 2nd XI. by 49 runs. St. Peter's batted first and fared badly against the bowling of Fayle. Knowles and Groves opened the batting, but after Knowles had left at seven, Groves and Shann played well, bringing the score to 17, before Groves fell a victim to Fayle for a useful seven. Fisher left at 23, and Shann was fourth out at 27, having batted well for his 12.

Then came an unaccountable collapse, the next four wickets falling with no addition to the score. Lamm and Peters only added two before the former fell to Fayle, but Peters and Hendley played well and brought the score to 35, when the former was foolishly run out.

CRICKET.

Bootham soon knocked the runs off, though they lost three wickets before the St. Peter's total was passed. The total eventually reached 84. Colley again bowled well, taking five ' wickets for 19 runs. The fielding was fair, but there was a lack of smartness or the score would have been considerably less.

Shann however, was smart, while Groves and Fisher were worthy of mention.

Played on the School ground on Saturday, June 17th. The visitors won the toss but began badly, losing two wickets for 13 runs, both Evers and Robinson falling to Knowles in successive overs. However, thanks to dropped catches and slack fielding, the visitors managed to run up a total of a 15. The School failed to get anywhere near their opponents' score being out for 46, giving Hymer's a lead of 69. Phillips was the only one who offered any resistance to the visitors' bowling. Hymer's going in again with a useful lead, were soon dismissed, owing to some fine bowling by Fisher, who took six wickets for 19 runs. The School were thus left 122 runs to win, and though they failed to get the required

Played on the School ground on Wednesday, June 28th.

Wilcock again won the toss and Colley and Knowles opened the batting. With but eight runs scored Colley was out lbw to Brearley. Windle then joined Knowles, and the bowling was hit all over the field, Knowles being specially aggressive on Brearley.

The score had reached 6o before Knowles was bowled for a dashing 40. Fisher made 13 of the next 15 before being run out, the total being 75 for three wickets. Phillips began shakily, but the score was taken to 91 without losing another wicket, when rain

stopped play, Windle having made 27 not out in good style.

After the weather had cleared up sufficiently, with less than an hour and a half to play, Wilcock declared. However, there was hardly time to dismiss the visitors, who, when time was called, had lost seven wickets for 4.9 runs. Colley bowled very well, being backed up by some good fielding, Windle being very smart behind the wicket.

Leeds were unfortunate in having the worst of the wicket, and did creditably in saving the game, for which they are indebted in no small degree to Clarke, who carried out his bat for a steady 22.

Two more wickets soon fell, but thanks to some good batting by C. Chamberlain and Sharp, the home side were able to declare, having scored 195 for the loss of five wickets.

The School began badly, Colley being caught off the first ball sent down. However, Knowles and Fisher hit lustily, putting on

Schroeder won the toss and elected to bat, sending in Colley and Knowles to open the innings. After Colley had succumbed to the first ball of the match, Fisher and Knowles batted well, but after they left no one else accomplished much, except Hodsman, who batted well for 12, and Groves who scored a useful nine. The visitors only lost two wickets in hitting off the 87 runs required for victory, but afterwards wickets fell rapidly, all being out for 169, Durham winning by 83 runs.

Played on the Filey ground, and resulted in an easy win for the home side by 90 runs. The visitors won the toss and Wood and Ramsden made a good start, but after these two left, only Charnley and Camm made any resistance. The former played very well for 21, while the latter made some good strokes.

The home side began badly, losing two wickets for five runs.

However, through Kaye and Davenport the runs were hit off for the loss of five wickets. A. J. Peters bowled well, but Lawton was kept on for too long, his wickets costing almost 15 runs apiece.

ST. OLAVE'S SCHOOL. On the invitation of Mr. Lempriere, a very enjoyable afternoon was spent at the Red House School, Marston Moor, on Saturday, June 17th inst. Three teams of nine boys each from the Red House, Miss Bird's, Harrogate, and St. Olave's met to try conclusions in races of 50 yards and too yards, wrestling and tugof-war. The members of the teams were not to exceed 4 ft. 9 in. in height. After a contest, in which the greatest keenness was shewn, the " Olavites " won easily with 3o points to 17 by Red House, and 7 by Miss Bird's boys.

The sports programme was concluded by the most amusing spectacle of the united teams of youngsters pulling a team of fathers and brothers over the line twice in succession, in a tug-ofwar. The winning team received silver medals given by Mr. Lempriere, from the hands of Mrs. Charles Slingsby Slingsby.

The School Sports were held in St. Peter's Cricket Ground, on Tuesday, July 4th. The weather, as is usual on this occasion, was brilliantly fine. A large number of the relations of the boys and other friends of the School encouraged the boys by their presence, to put forth their powers to the utmost. Many of the events were very closely contested, and though the programme was long, the interest was maintained until the end.

The honours of " Victor Ludorum " were shared by Ramsden i. and Wallace, who each received a cup, most generously given by Miss Owen. The prizes were graciously distributed by the Honourable Mrs. Reginald Parker.

Both were won by St. Olave's, the one on Saturday, the 8th July, by 38 runs to 19 ; the other on Saturday, the r5th July, by 140 for 4. wickets (Charnley 4.8 not out, Ramsden 20, Hendley 22) to 36. In the course of the game Camm did the " hat trick," and six wickets fell in eight balls for no runs. On Thursday, the loth July, a match was played on the St. Peter's Ground against Mr. Barnes's boys, resulting in a victory for St. Olave's by 97 to 14.

(Lacy 29, Ramsden 17). Charnley took six wickets for five runs.

The matches still to be played are :—v. Mr. Barnes's boys, and v. the Lower Forms of St. Peter's.

On Saturday, July 22nd, a very interesting match was played between a team of the fathers of the boys, got together by the Rev. C. T. Alexander, and the School eleven, captained by Mr. Grey. The fathers batted first, and were got out for the small score of 44., Charnley and Hendley bowling very well. Mr. Alfred Procter was the top scorer for his side with 13 runs. The boys started badly, Mr. Grey and Ramsden both being sent back without scoring. The win however, was secured by the remarkably good defence of Lacy and the more dashing innings of Charnley, who made 27 runs. The side was out for a total of 77, the School thus winning by 33 runs- Great interest was taken in the game by the mothers and sisters, who were in the somewhat difficult position of wishing both sides to win. After the match,
