SCHOOL LETTER. ARGE upon the horizon looms the spectre of the summer holidays, and so we haste to begin the most formidable of our tasks— the School Letter.

St. Peter's Day came on Saturday. June 29th.

The Chapel was beautifully adorned with flowers, and there was a large congregation at morning Chapel. The weather was lovely, but broke in the afternoon, and so spoilt the Cricket Match, at the same time keeping away a great number of visitors. Amongst the guests at the Lunch given by the Headmaster and Miss Owen we were delighted to see the Dean and Lady Emma. Speech Day will take place on Wednesday, July 31 st. On Tuesday, July 9th, the Headmaster and Miss Owen took the Choir up the river as far as Linton, and a very. pleasant afternoon was spent.

We offer our hearty congratulations to M. W. Peters on obtaining a Choral Exhibition at Christ's College, Cambridge.

The Organ Builders began work on June z5th, and so far as can be gathered the Organ will be finished by the end of term, when it will he formally opened.

We are glad to say that the cricket season has been a most creditable one, and a great improvement on any of its immediate predecessors. The Captain and Secretary set a splendid example to the Eleven, and imparted much of their keenness to the rest of the. School.

O.P. DINNER.

There will be a large exodus at the end of the term, but we hope that next term there will be more than enough to take the places of those who are leaving.

And now two of us reluctantly lay down the Editorial Pen, and hand over onerous, but nevertheless pleasant duties to more able followers--Vale !

O.P. DINNER (LONDON CENTRE).

The Annual Dinner of Old Peterites in London was held on July 5th at the Holborn Restaurant, Professor A. W. Reinold in the Chair. The following Old Peterites and their friends were present :—Rev. A. Abbay, Professor J. Clifford Allbutt, the Ven. Archdeacon Barber, Capt. R. M. Barber, Col. F. F. Ditmas, F. P. Fausset, Col. C. E. Freeman, M. J. Greener, N. W. Henderson, S. Jackson, Percy B. Lambert, E. F. Nevile, H. J. Newbery, Rev. E. C. Owen (Headmaster), H. W. Rhodes, Sir Frank H. Swettenham, Rev. J. W. W. Taylor, G. F. Tendall, A. S. Poyser.

After the toasts of the King and Royal Family, the Chairman proposed " St. Peter's School." He alluded to the changes for the better that had been made in the school buildings, and particularly to the opening of the new organ ; he remembered the opening of the old organ, when a sermon was preached in the School Chapel by Dean Vaughan. He spoke of former Masters at the School, of Habersack, and of "Tommy" Richardson : the latter was offered the HeadmasterShip after the death of Archdeacon Hey, but refused on the ground that he had no university degree. He was glad to see so distinguished a company present, but wished that the younger men would make more effort to attend the Dinner. He coupled with the toast the names of the Headmaster and Mr. Percy B. Lambert.

The Headmaster replied on behalf of the School : he was glad to say that the old traditions were still kept up, and there were now at the School a grandnephew of " Tommy" Richardson and

131

S. PETER'S DAY.

a grandson of Lees, another former Master at the School. St. Peter's School, like all schools of its class, had had to pass through troubled waters, owing to the rise of the municipal school ; but he thought that the school was still holding its own : they had many promising boys, although the honours won lately had been few owing to the boys in the Sixth Form being young. They had recently won a Choral Exhibition at Christ's College, Cambridge.

In conclusion he extended a hearty welcome to any London O.P.s who should come to York.

Mr. Percy Lambert followed. In an amusing speech he told how he was a " laudator temporis acti," though not as translated by the suffragettes as " one who exults in having done time."

The speaker concluded with a few words of regret at the death of Mr. John Francis Walker, of York, whose manner was so cordial and hearty that it was apt to make us forget his other endowments.

Sir Frank Swettenham then in graceful terms proposed the health of the Chairman, and a pleasant evening was brought to a conclusion.

ST. PETER'S DAY. Saturday, June zoth, dawned clear and beautiful, and a most successful Commemoration Day was anticipated. Friday, the first day of the match, had been fine, and a good finish was in prospect. Holy Communion was celebrated in the Chapel at

132

S. PETER'S DAY.

8 a.m., the Ven. Archdeacon Griffith (0.P.), assisted by the Headmaster, taking the service. Morning Chapel was at 10-30 a.m. The sermon was preached by the Ven. Archdeacon Griffith. The Headmaster and the Rev. A. W. Richards also officiated at the service, and the Lessons were read by W. H. Colley and M. T. Clegg.

The Chapel was most beautifully decorated with flowers, for which we were indebted to the kindness of Miss Owen and Mrs. Yeld. There was a big congregation, and the proceeds of the offertory were given to the Organ Fund.

After an hour-and-a-half's cricket, lunch was served in the School House Dining Hall.

After lunch some 400 visitors had been expected, but at the end of an hour's play it began to rain hard. It was plain that the rain had come to stay, and therefore an adjournment was made to the big hall. An impromptu concert was organised by Mr. Tendall.

The choir sang one or two part songs excellently, and M. W. Peters rendered his song very well. Mr. Tendall and Mr. Hattersley (O.P.) played several delightful duets.

At 4. o'clock tea was taken, after which the visitors, who numbered about loo, took their leave.

At 8 p.m. an Old Boys' Social was held in the Gymnasium.

The latter had been tastefully adorned with carpet, fauteuils and plants, and presented a very cheerful appearance. Songs were sung by Messrs. St. George, Schroeder, Hutchinson, Scott and others, and Mr. Tendall and Mr. Hattersley played more duets.

Mr. Sample kindly accompanied on the piano. There were some 4o Old Peterites present, and a most enjoyable evening was spent.

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

Played on the Bootham ground, 14th June. Peters won the toss and he and Allen opened the batting for the School.

The wicket was exceedingly slow and runs were very hard to get.

Allen never settled down, and was bowled when the score had only reached 7. Hendley coming in, took liberties with the bowling, only to be well caught in the long field by Rowntree.

Thus two wickets had fallen for g runs. Clegg now joined Peters, and by careful play they took the score to z8, when Rowlands dismissed Peters. Groves followed in and played a forcing game, he and Clegg not being parted till 6z was telegraphed. Clegg had batted well for his zo runs. The last five wickets fell quickly, and Bootham were eventually left with 83 to obtain in order to win. Clegg and Hendley commenced the attack, and the former with his second ball had Milner caught at point. Hendley also clean bowled Dobrashian in the third over. Rowntree was out l.b.w. to the same bowler, and the succeeding ball proved fatal to P. Corder : the score stood at 7 for 4, and without further addition 3 more wickets fell, the side eventually being dismissed for 14.

Clegg and Hendley both bowled exceedingly well and were keenly backed up in the field. All the catches were held and the ground fielding, if not done in county style, was at any rate sound.

F. C. CROWTHER'S XI.

A. E. Nield and F. C. Crowther opened the batting for the visitors. Off Clegg's first ball Nield was caught at point, but on Middlemost coming in the bowling was hit about with vigour, and the score was raised to 44, when Middlemost was bowled by a slow ball. The rest of- the batsmen caused little trouble, the score at lunch being After lunch the visitors were all out after half-an-hour's play.

M. W. Peters and Hendley went in first for the School. They Stayed together till 6o was on the board. Then Peters was out to a brilliant running catch in the long field by Whitely, and soon after Hendley was dismissed. This brought Allen and Clegg together, and by careful play the visitors' score was passed, with two wickets down, Allen making the winning hit. With four wickets down for 149, M. W. Peters declared.

ST. PETER'S SCHOOL V. AMPLEFORTH COLLEGE.

Played at York. Ampleforth went in first and soon. Hesketh, their best bat, was well caught at the wicket. Three wickets were down for 15, but Calder-Smith and Collison stopped for some time and raised the score to 42, when the former 'was caught in the slips by M. W. Peters. At lunch-time the score was 42 for 4 wickets. On resuming, wickets fell fast, 9 wickets being down for 6z. At this point, however, Barton and Neeson made a good stand and between them added 3o runs by very careful cricket.

M. W. Peters and Allen opened for the School. The first wicket fell with 9 on the board, and without any addition to the score Hendley was bowled. Clegg went in and helped to stop the rot, Peters and lie playing no less than six maiden overs. At 19 Clegg was bowled. A fine stand between Peters and Groves now produced 48 runs, Groves being bowled with the score at 67.

The fifth wicket fell three runs later. At this point it began to rain and the interval was taken for tea. After tea Peters continued to score, the sixth wicket going down for 83. The match now became most exciting. Slowly the score mounted up, and shortly before the seventh wicket fell Peters made the winning hit. He had played a sterling innings and carried his bat for 4+. For Ampleforth Calder-Smith and Hesketh bowled well. M. W. Peters and Clegg bowled well for York.

CRICKET. ST. PETER'S SCHOOL V. LEEDS. G.S.

This match was played at York on Tuesday, June z5th, in dull weather. M. W. Peters won the toss and elected to bat taking in with him Clegg to face the bowling of Ludolf and Richardson.

After an uneventful start, with only 14 runs on the board, Clegg was given out l.b.w. to Richardson (14-1-7), with the next ball the same bowler despatched Anderson. With only four more runs scored Groves was given out l.b.w. to Richardson, and next over saw Peters bowled by a good ball from Ludolf (r8-4-7). Allen and Hendley then made a short stand and exactly doubled the score before Allen was bowled by Ludolf, who accounted for Wood in the same over. The next over saw Hendley caught by Robinson (7-40-11), and none of the other batsmen made any prolonged stay at the wickets except A. J. Peters, who was eventually not out for five, having played very careful cricket at an exceedingly critical period. With the capture of Ingham's wicket the School were all out for so.

Leeds made a worse start, Richardson being clean bowled by Peters, but their captain settling down, they passed our score with only 4 wickets down and eventually declared their innings closed (7- 9 1- 3).

ST. PETER'S SCHOOL v. OLL', ' Boys.

Played on Friday and Saturday, June 28th and 29th. The School batted first. M. W. Peters and Clegg started the School innings.

Peters scored fairly fast, although Roy was bowling well. With the score at 17 Clegg was bowled by Roy. Hendley was soon out, and shortly afterwards M. W. Peters was bowled by Roy. The score at lunch time was 3o for 3 wickets. After lunch the fourth wicket fell for 5o. Groves and Wood now made an excellent stand, the score being 128 before Wood was dismissed. Groves continued to score freely, being at last bowled in attempting to pull Crowther to leg. He made 67 in good style without giving a chance. The rest of the side were soon out, the final score being 179. The Old Boys' innings was started by Greenhow and Yeld.

With 8 on the board Yeld was bowled by Clegg, and three balls later E. C. Peters succumbed to the same bowler. Whincup was next, and after hitting vigorously was run out after a smart piece of fielding by M. W. Peters (3 wkts. for 17). Smith now joined Greenhow, and runs came freely, the score being 69 before Ingham bowled Greenhow. Roy hit in good style, but was caught in the country by Hendley, Smith being run out shortly after. Blenkin did not stay long, but Crowther and Bailey made a good stand, the score when stumps were drawn being 87 for 7 wickets. On Saturday play started at 12 o'clock. Bailey was soon out, and Fisher was bowled, so that 9 wickets were down for 96. Schroeder, who came in last, played carefully, and helped Crowther to raise the score to 125 before the latter was out lbw.

M. W. Peters and A. J. Peters started the School's second innings. When lunch time came the score was 4 for no wickets.

Play re-commenced at 2-3o. A. J. Peters had to retire and on Groves going in the score rose to 38. At this point it began to rain rapidly, and play was stopped, the match being left drawn.

ST. PETER'S SCHOOL V. POCKLINGTON GRAMMAR SCHOOL.

Played on the School Ground, Tuesday, July 2nd. The School won the toss and decided to put Porklington in. This decision seemed fully justified when three batsmen fell victims to Clegg and Peters for the small total of 3 runs. Ten was just posted up when Clegg, who was keeping a good length, bowled Donovan round his legs, and C. A. K. Peters, who had been batting quite well, succumbed to Hendley, and with the score at 5 for 18 the teams retired for lunch.

After the interval A. H. Anson punished the bowling severely, and M. W. Peters took the ball from Hendley. Clegg, who was also by no means doing himself justice, had to be relieved by W. Ingham, and although the other batsmen were dismissed, .

.

1 39

CRICKET.

A. H. Anson had retained his end and scored an invaluable 35.

M. W. Peters and M. T. Clegg opened the batting for the School.

When six had been scored Peters' off stump was rooted out of the ground by A. H. Anson, and with no further addition to the score Clegg, who had so far batted very steadily, was run out, owing to a dual misunderstanding. Hendley did not stop long, being bowled neck and crop by Anson. Further catastrophies shortly followed, Groves being lbw., and when Wood returned his first ball in the feeblest of fashion to Power, half the side were out for 15 runs. Matters looked a little brighter when Colley and Allen were together ; by careful batting they took the score to 27, when Allen, who evidently lost his head, called for an absurd run, the stumps being put down when he was barely half way across the pitch. Colley, who had batted fearlessly for his ten runs, was out eighth wicket, the score being 35. The last two wickets fell without further addition.

The match was keenly contested throUghout. The bowling and fielding of the School was good ; but though the wicket was a difficult one, and Anson was bowling exceeding well, this can in no way account for the miserable batting display the School gave.

They batted badly and that is all we can say.

ST. PETER'S SCHOOL V. ROMANY C.C.

Romany went in - first on a fairly easy wicket. Grundy was soon out to a good ball from Clegg, but Crane and Richardson began to hit about with great vigour, and aided by luck, brought the score up to 78 before Richardson was lbw. to Ingham. The bowlers, especially Clegg. and Ingham, had bad luck, good length balls being treated with as much respect as half-volleys. Crane played the best cricket for Romany, making 38 before he was caught off a mis-hit. After Thorpe and Dobson, the other batsman caused little trouble and the innings closed for 179.

M. W. Peters and Clegg opened the School batting. The scoring was very slow. With the score at i .1 Clegg played on, and Hendley was clean bowled. Groves and Peters brought the score up to 31 when the former was bowled by Richardson. An unaccountable rot now set in, and after another feeble batting display the side was out for 41.

ST. PETER'S SCHOOL V. HYMERS COLLEGE.

On Saturday, July 13th, the team journeyed to Hull. At the outset it looked as if their expedition would be fruitless, as it was raining heavily on their arrival at the College, but after mid-day affairs took a turn for the better, enabling play to start after lunch

CRICKET.

at 1-45. Peters won the toss and elected to bat, taking in with him Clegg. Runs at first came slowly, and with only 14 runs on the board Peters was bowled by Foster ( -1 1). He was succeeded by Groves, who, in company with Clegg, raised the score to 37 before being sent back by Cooper (37-2-13). Hendlev, who followed next, also made 13 before being bowled by Soutter (69-3-13). Clegg, in the meanwhile, had been batting steadily, making several good hits to the boundary, and it looked as if he and Allen were going to make a stand, when he played a ball straight into the bowler's hands, having batted over an hour for his 27. A. J. Peters, who followed, could only make 6, and even then was missed twice in slips.

R. M. Wood and Allen next began to hit and raised the total considerably before the latter was unfortunately run out. He was soon followed by Wood (11-7-13). The next three batsmen did not make any prolonged stand and our innings closed for 118.

After the tea interval the School went out to field, Allen and Soutter opening the Hymers innings. With only one run on the board Soutter was caught in slips by Groves. The next over saw his successor caught in slips by Clegg. The Hymers captain, who now came in, at once began to hit, making three " 4's " and a single in succession, but was cleverly stumped by Phillips (17-3-13).

Two more balls saw Allen caught and bowled by Clegg. The next four wickets fell very quickly, the score reading (19-7-2), but Laurance and Oliver batted very steadily and were not separated until Oliver was bowled by Clegg (34-8-4). The next batsman sent a well-pitched ball straight into Ingham's hands, and eventually the whole side were out for 39, Laurance carrying out his bat for 12, having gone in at a very critical period of the game.

The School deserves the highest praise for its performance.

Clegg bowled splendidly, taking 7 wickets for 21, while Peters, if he only got two wickets, was most effectual in keeping the runs down. The School fielding was beyond praise ; six of their opponents were caught out and not a run was given away. M. W. Peters, Colley, and Shann were perhaps the best, but all were good, and the match proved in every way a satisfactory finish to a

successful season.

CHARACTERS.

4-7

CHARACTERS. Captained the team admirably. A good all round cricketer. Scores fairly fast and Played several good has some fine strokes on the off.

Bowled exceedingly well at times, but was innings. unlucky. A splendid field. The success of the eleven has been due to his untiring energy, as he set an example of keenness in every department, which was well followed by the rest.

M W. PETERS (1904-05-06-07).

As a bowler has been indispensable. Keeps a splendid length with plenty of break and variation of pace. Though a slow bat, he is very steady and has played several invaluable innings for his side. Has fielded well in slips.

M. T. CLEGG (1904-05-06-07).

B. T. 'Groves (1907). A forcing bat with plenty of good strokes, but is weak on the defence, and must learn to play good bowling as well as punish bad. Has fielded splendidly throughout the season.

Always tries his level best.

Has fielded fearlessly at mid-off, and so saved his side many runs. He is a very slow bat, but stands up to fast bowling and has often stopped a rot.

W. H. COLLEY (1907).

Has a good eye, and although handicapped through lack of strength and height, has played some useful innings, He has some nice strokes, notably to leg. A good catch.

Stands right up A. A. Phillips (1907). A good wicket keeper.

Can hit hard, but to the stumps and takes the balls cleanly. has little defence.

W. Ingham (19°7). Has not quite fulfilled expectations. Doubtless his sight handicaps him when batting and fielding. Can bowl a good medium pace ball, but must learn to control the length. He improved in every way towards the end of the season.

W.

P. ALLEN (1907).

148

RETROSPECT.

*P. G. HENDLEY. Has been very disappointing as a bat. Has quite

an orthodox style ; but frequently throws away his innings by a wild or careless stroke. A fair change bowler, but is very uncertain in the field. *A. J. PETERS. Has the makings of a good cricketer in him.

Lacks confidence as a bat at present, but plays straight. He has bowled quite well, and should be useful in the attack next year. Slow in the field. *R. M. WOOD. Rather a lucky bat. He must learn to stand up to fast bowling Has fielded well at cover.

Fields splendidly. He has plenty of strength as a bat, but is stiff and awkward.

*G. D. SHANN.

*D. ANDERSON. %J . F. WALLACE. *C. C. TAYLOR. Denotes those who have played for the Eleven but have not gained their 1st Eleven colours.

CRICKET RETROSPECT. We may look back on the term's cricket, so far as the first eleven is concerned, with some amount of satisfaction.

We have won half our matches, and that in itself speaks of improvement ; and yet it would be impossible to deny that at the beginning of term we had hoped for better things. We began well, winning our first three matches, and then the rot, so to speak, set in. Leeds, Pocklington, and especially Romany, were, of course, formidable opponents, but neither this nor adverse conditions can sufficiently account for the wretched batting displays given by the School on these three occasions, and that we lost these three matches by our

RETROSPECT.

1 49

bad batting no one can deny. The bowling on occasions certainly lacked sting, and the fielding at times was most unsure ; yet a side that can only compile 126 in three successive matches does not deserve to win. The bowling, which was shared chiefly by Clegg, Peters and Ingham, was good. The foremost was in splendid form throughout the season, and we can only congratulate him on the success he has deserved. There was, however, plenty of bowling talent in the team, and many acquitted themselves well as reserves. The fielding was good on the whole and on occasions the team fielded brilliantly. We were fortunate in having a good man at the wicket ; and this fact, to a great extent, assisted the bowlers in keeping a good length—only those who do bowl can understand this.

A good bowler, if badly backed up in the field, cannot bowl his best : and that is partly why good fielding is essential to sucess. The batting averages are not high, but when one considers that the Eleven never once played on a batsman's wicket, and that several matches were played on pitches which would have been declared unfit for play in an ordinary year, it is evident that the batting was quite good on the whole.

The second showed a great amount of keenness, which speaks well for future successes. Three matches had, unfortunately, to be drawn. Of the other two matches against Durham and Boot ham, the first we lost badly and the second we won.

We take this opportunity to thank Mr. Squire for his invaluable coaching, and also to thank him and Mr. Tendall for umpiring in several matches.

SCHOOL RECORDS AND REGISTERS.

SCHOOL RECORDS AND REGISTERS. Short Notes about the School and 0. P.'s will be published from lime lo time under this heading. Corrections and contributions which are requested should be addressed to The Editors of the Peterite, St. Peter's School, York.

CHRONOLOGY. Continued from p. 1 18.

1289. The site of the School was taken for building the Minster Nave. A house which was the official residence of the Preb : of Dunnington was given to the school in exchange. Ibis probably stood on the site of " The Old Residence," which until recently was part of the school endowment, and the substructure appears to be part of the original house erected in the 13th century (Hargrove). It has lately (since March, r9o2) been sold with the adjoining house, yard and stables.

Simon became Chanc : on Corbridge's resignation.

1290.

1290-7. Thomas Wakefield was Chanc : 1297-1332. Robert de Riplingham was Chanc : In 13o4 and 1315 he was sent with news of the Archbishops' deaths to the King.

1306-22. Courts of King and judges held in York.

1307. The earliest existing copy of York Statutes was ordered to be written. It contains the following:—" Cancellarius, qui antiquitus magister scholarum dicebatur, magister in theologia debet esse et juxta ecclesiam actualiter legere. Et ad ipsum pertinet scolas grammaticales conferre sed scolas Eboracenses debet prcesentare alicui regenti in artibus de quo spes proficiendi possit haberi," who according to the ancient custom of the Church shall hold office for three years and not longer except by special grace for one year more. The ViceChancellor was to receive a year from the school (Leach) • In 1837-8 the Rev. J. Richardson refused to qualify for the post by taking a degree.

23 May, 1319. John de Bayous, of Helperby, acknowledged that he owes to Master Robert de Ripplyngham, Chancellor of St. Peter's, York, ioo marks to be levied in default of payment of his lands and chattels in Yorkshire (Close Rolls I z Edw. II.).

NOTES AND ITEMS.

THE CHOIR. On Tuesday, July gth, the Headmaster very kindly took the Choir on the river up to Linton Locks, the " River King " having been engaged for the occasion. After having been photographed —an operation which drew a large number of wondering spectators —the Choir embarked at half-past two. It was drizzling a little, but it came out fine shortly after the gallant ship had passed the Ings. Linton was reached at 4-3o. The passengers landed and proceeded to inspect the Falls, into which, fortunately, no one managed to tumble. The ship's syren warned the company that Tea was waiting, and a delightful meal was enjoyed in the saloon.

After Tea a hay-fight, we hear, was indulged in, much to the wrath of the local farmer, who already had been vehement in his protestations when some people had essayed to embark for a cruise in his boat. On the way back the Choir sang several PartSongs. The school was reached at 8 o'clock, after a most enjoyable trip, and the Choir showed their appreciation for the kindness of the Headmaster and Miss Owen in the usual way.

NOTES AND ITEMS. July, the wife of Capt. J. P. Montgomery, R.N. (O.P.), a daughter.
