SCHOOL LETTER. HE weather has been favourable for Cricket this Term, and we have endeavoured to make hay while the sun was shining, but we were prevented from playing two of our matches by rain. The First XI. have had a moderately successful season : they have won three matches, drawn three, and lost three. But this year is one of note, for the record of the School was in the Durham match broken by Sullivan, who played splendidly, making a score of 133 not out. We congratulate him and wish him all success next year. The Second XI. has not had much luck. On the Commemoration Day we had the usual Services in the Chapel, which was beautifully decorated for the occasion. It was one of the finest days we have had this year, and many visitors took ad vantage of the sunshine. We hope soon to hold the Swimming Sports, which promise to be especially interesting, as such great numbers have been regularly going to the baths this year, and we hear rumours that they are practising hard. We are also looking forward to the Shooting Competition, which will take place as usual at Strensall. On July loth, the Choir went up the river to Linton Lock, and had the most delightful excursion, in the finest of weather. For one reason the summer Term is always a sorrowful one, for we feel that many of the mainstays of the School are leaving ; but we wish them all the best of luck, and hope to see them whenever they can find time to revisit us.
