SCHOOL LETTER. IME and tide wait for no man," and School Editors are no exception to the rule. Already the holidays are looming large on the horizon, cricket is over and we are in the middle of the examinations.

Warned by these signs and by the gentle hints of one or two of the school who continually ask us, " When is the next Peterite coming out ?" we hasten to take up the pen and c hronicle the events of the term.

As we say, cricket is over : we have not had a successful season, but the team is young and we should do better another year. The fact that we have a good second also promises well. For other particulars we refer our readers to another column. It was most u nfortunate that the fir,t day of the Old I3oys' match was wet, but a one-innings match was played on the Saturday, and an excellent game resulted.

The usual festivities on Commemoration Day were cancelled this year owing to the King's death, but the service was held as usual. The preacher was the Rev. H. B. Greaves, who gave us a most stirring sermon.

Our readers will all have noticed in our last number the honour which the Headmaster has received. The interesting ceremony of installation took place on Wednesday, July 6th, and was witnessed by several members of the school. In honour of the appointment the school enjoyed a whole holiday next day. Taking advantage of this the Natural History went on their annual excursion The

COMMEMORATION DAY.

place chosen this year was Coxwold : the weather was remarkably good considering the fact that the holiday came in the middle of a most uncertain week, and an excellent day was spent.

Amongst other things, shooting on the school range seems to have been occupying the attention of quite a number. There is, we hear, a great improvement in the shooting all round, and it seems most unfortunate that the club cannot get any shooting at Strensall. This fact is in no way due to those in authority, as both the Headmaster and the President of the Club, Mr. Hallows, have been indefatigable in their efforts to get permission for us to go Many are the criticisms which reach us and the complaints that there is nothing new in the Peterite nowadays. We are afraid that the charges are only too true, but we may plead this for ourselves, that we do not get very much help in the way of contributions from outside. May we take this opportunity to make an appeal to all and sundry to send us anything which they consider will interest our readers, especially news of their own doings.

COMMEMORATION DAY. June 26th, was this year observed as Commemoration Day. The usual festivities were postponed, but a service was held at 10-45, when the prayers were read by the Rev. R. 0. Walker and the Headmaster.

The Rev. H. B. Greaves (0.P.) was the preacher, and he founded a practical discourse on the words, " When they saw the boldness of Peter and John, they took knowledge of it that they had been with Jesus." He impressed upon his hearers the lesson of being manly Christian knights of Jesus. He said it seemed as if the manhood of the country was dropping away from religion. The absence of men from church was not due to open infidelity ; we were not troubled so much with atheism, except from our old friend the man in the street or the tub-thumper in the market-

place. Religion was treated with nonchalance ; men had nothing to say against it, but they said " You let me go my way and you go yours." School boy s resented being called " pi" as much as they would being told that they were soft, or " funks." It was their abhorrence of cant or humbug which made them jump to the opposite conclusion. He contended that being a servant of Christ did not rob a man of manliness. It could never be said that Christ was not manly. Throughout His life He was a brave, manly man, and to give Him fealty did not rob a man of manliness.

In the afternoon the weather proved fine and the annual cricket match was played, an account of which will be found on another page.

INAUGURATION OF THE NEW HOUSE FOR ST. OLAVE'S. The Preparatory School Sports (St. Olave's and Alcuin House) were held on the cricket field on Friday, June 3rd.

Our proverbial luck " attended us, as the day was fine and the previous day, originally chosen for the sports, one of the worst in the term.

On the conclusion of the sports we all moved over to St. Olave's, which was inaugurated in a short service held in the garden by the Very Rev, the Dean of York, The choir sang,

INAUGURATION OF NEW HOUSE FOR S. OLAVE'S.

+67

" Come, Holy Ghost " (Attwood), and everyone joined in the hymn, " Now thank we all our God." The walls of the house and play-ground made a natural sounding board, and the whole scene, lit up by the sun which came out then for the first time, was very striking. The spirit of the occasion was caught by the Dean, who as he moved back remarked, " What a beautiful temple in which to worship God ! " The service concluded, the Dean said that in two ways he felt especial pleasure and interest in the proceedings. One was in the past history of the house, for he had had the pleasure many years ago of knowing Dr. Hornby, the builder of the house, and had seen it when full of interesting curios of every description which the doctor possessed. Though eccentric in many ways, Dr. Hornby had a warm heart, kindly feelings, and good fellowship, which should not be forgotten. Secondly, he reminded them of the words of the Latin poet, " Sic vos non vobis "—thus you do not labour for yourselves. The building had not been built for a school, but for a family residence, and in due course had come to be what he hoped would be a prosperous and useful school. He urged the boys to strive to help and benefit others in this life.

There was something very auspicious, the Dean proceeded, in dedicating the house on the birthday of the King. They felt especially glad it should be so, not only as loyal subjects, but because the King had been one who had shared with themselves the experiences of school life. In former days it was not so, future kings generally having tutors and not mixing with boys of their own age, so that they knew nothing of school life, and that wholesome form of education, the playground, while it was an historical fact, incredible though it might seem, that a " whipping boy" was kept who was whipped when a prince did wrong. But even this taught a great truth : that the consequences of a wrong committed might not fall upon ourselves but upon others. Those days were gone, and members of the Royal Family now took their place with the rising generation of their own age, and went through the same training. Our present King had gone through a sailor's life just like any other young man, and his two sons were doing the same thing.

468

INAUGURATION OF NEW HOUSE FOR S. OLAVE'S.

The Dean, referring to the intere,t with which he had watched the sports, went on to point out to the boys that there were lessons to be learnt in the school and in the playground, and they acted and re-acted on each other. Sometimes there was a tendency perhaps to relax the exertion they ought to make in school life, and then trouble ensued, whereas they learnt by what took place in the playground that it would not do there. Whatever might be the indulgence of the schoolmaster in passing over idleness in the schoolroom, it would not be passed in the race in the playground.

The race was to the swift, and unless they were qualified to run it they would not win. They must bring into school life every energy, not because it was a matter of compulsion, but because it was the right thing to do. Those who had been disappointed because they did not win, he urged not to be disheartened. They learned in the playground what had to be practised in after life.

They might depend upon it that nobody in the world was successful without failing, and it was in failure that they attained those things essential to success in life. He was sure nothing would give the King greater pleasure than to know such a gathering as this had taken place in York. They must never forget that the King was also Duke of York now, and it was very right that here in the capital of the dukedom of York his birthday should be commemorated. In conclusion, the Dean said he hoped and trusted that the hotise dedicated for the younger generation of St. Peter's boys, would be successful, and that the success would be an abiding one. It had been a great pleasure to see the zeal, earnestness, and ability of their good friend, Mr. Owen and those associated with him in the work of the school. May the boys carry out the principles learned at school in whatever sphere of life God's providence called them to till.

Lady Emma Purey-Cust then distributed the prizes to the winners, gracefully congratulating each.

The Rev. E. C. Owen, in expressing the heartiest thanks of the company to the Dean and Lady Emma Purey-Cust, said their services added one more to the innumerable things they had done for the school, so much so that a gathering at St. Peter's would not be a gathering at all without them.

CAMBRIDGE LETTER.

The singing of the school song, " Carmen," and hearty cheers by the boys for the Dean, Lady Emma, the Staff, and the visitors, terminated the ceremony, and the visitors proceeded to inspect the house.

CAMBRIDGE LETTER. CAMBRIDGE,

June t oth.

DEAR SIR,

The moment of writing is to us a moment full of sorrow, though it may indeed bring joy to others—sorrow that the time is come for us to sing our swan song before we die. In the words of the poet :"To-morrow! Why, to-morrow I may be Myself, with yesterday's sev'n thousand years,— whatever that may mean.

To turn to O.P. news, Infandos, editore, iubes renovare dolores We are all waiting for results of various Triposes and College Mays,' in varying states of suspense.

Our representatives in the O.T.C. duly went to Windsor for the King's funeral. It was one of them who was responsible for a slight interruption of the procession. We are glad to hear that he is shortly to publish a graphic account of " How I held up nine kings and others."—(Advt.)

Peters and Sullivan have scored many successes for Christ's as Captain and Secretary-elect of the XI. The latter was for a short season cast into despondency by the Proctorial edict forbidding the use of gramophones or similar instruments on the river—an edict which caused much satisfaction to others.

Ingham has been seen with a distracted air and words upon his lips. On enquiry we learnt that he was rehearsing a speech in answer to a charge of having impelled " a two-wheeled vehicle, to wit, a bicycle" upon a public footpath.

.

470

N.tJ.S.

Bulmer has been playing tennis with his usual sleight of hand.

Molonv and Smith have been engrossed in much reading, but have found time for tennis too. We have seen them upon the river. Rigby has divided his attention between tennis and punting.

We all did our share in welcoming Dr. Roosevelt ; even the O.P. scribe is indebted to him as a source of inspiration" How could the journalist Continue to exist If Roosevelt were missed ?"

In conclusion we must offer our congratulations to the Headmaster upon his preferment.

O.P.

N. H. S. On July 7th, the N.H.S., taking advantage of the whole holiday awarded in honour of the appointment of the Headmaster as Canon of York Minster, enjoyed the usual annual excursion.

This year Coxwold was taken as headquarters, and the weather turned out fine in spite of fears to the contrary. On arriving at our destination, about 9 a.m., the members immediately broke up, the majority making straight for the " White Horse," via Kilburn, while another party reached the same point a little later via Oldstead, Oldstead Bank, and the road across the moor. As the members carried their own lunch, most took advantage of the smooth turf near the `• Horse" to enjoy what, no doubt, they all considered a well-earned meal. On coming down from the " Horse " in various parties—some were energetic enough to play " rounders " on the top of the moor—nearly all arrived sooner or later at some fields where wild strawberries grew in such profusion that one could not walk without treading on them. They formed a very pleasant dessert though of course they were very small.

Most of the afternoon was spent in tramping the woods and shady lanes occasionally getting lost and asking " natives " the

way. The following is the answer to one of the questions as to the right road :—" Ay, yer reet enuff ; keep strait on, nayther turn to t'reet ner turn to Cleft, but keep strait on, till yer cums t'OuldStea.d, an' then after thait keep strait on again! " It is needless to say the words are spelt as nearly as possible as pronounced and that his directions were followed and proved right.

One party curiously happened to meet an East Prussian, evidently on a walking tour, with whom they passed the time of day.

The Society had kind permission from Sir George Wombwell to go into Wass Woods, and, we believe, the majority took advantage of that permission.

Tea was served at-45 p.m., at the " Fauconberg Arms " at Coxwold, and the boards were very soon cleared. After tea most played cricket in the field behind the house, and some esconced themselves comfortably under some hay-cocks in another field to watch the more energetic at play. However, some hay was naturally displaced, though it was put back as well as possible.

It then turned out that the field did not belong to the house where we had tea, but to someone else, who objected to our presence in the field and to the dislodgement of about an armful of hay.

However things were settled amicably and we adjourned to the station to catch the 8-3o train back to York, thoroughly tired but merry and loaded with flowers of every description. It was one of the most successful excursions the Society has enjoyed and the district chosen was most interesting to every department.

YORK BANKS.

Played at York on June 1 st. The ground was very wet and the rain never stopped during the whole time that the school were fielding, which made good bowling impossible. The Banks started well, and aided by an excellent innings of 62 from Nuttall, put up 192 runs.

The school started fairly well, but Rowntree and Ferguson were out within a few runs of each other. Lacy did not survive long and Peters was out to a somewhat doubtful catch behind the Wickets. No one offered any resistance to Cie bowling, and the side was out for the very poor score of 76.

ST. PETER'S SCHOOL V. LEEDS G.S. Played at Leeds on June iith. The school going in first made a most inglorious start. Ferguson was clean bowled with Smith's first ball, and Wallace was also out with only one run on the board.

Lacy and Peters made a short stand, but they were both out lbw, and thus four wickets were down for 4.3. Fernandes, who came in third wicket down batted steadily, and the fifth wicket produced 3o runs. Then three wickets fell in quick succession. Wood then came in and began hitting ; some of his shots were extremely lucky, but his 37 was a most valuable contribution. Fernandes was clean bowled with the score at 1 r 1, after making a most useful 31. The school innings eventually closed for 117.

Leeds made an excellent start, their first wicket falling at 5+ the next man was ont first ball and Vause was bowled by Peters at 78. After this, however, Leeds passed the school score with seven wickets in hand.

Lacy and Peters made school, the first wicket falling at 3z. a good stand and brought the score to 8i. Two more wickets fell quickly, but Camm coming in stayed with Lacy who was playing a splendid innings till they had put on exactly roo runs.

Lacy was then most unfortunately run out after batting splendidly for his 77 runs. Camm's innings was also very meritorious.

Romany's first wicket produced 24 runs, but then a long stand was made, the second wicket falling at 72. Three more wickets fell quickly but aided by bad fielding Romany had half their wickets in hand when time was called. The school bowling was quite good, but if the fielding had only been smarter at least three more wickets would have been taken.

At lunch-time five wickets were down for bo. Camm and Mills made a short stand but the former was out after the wicket had produced 24 runs, and Armstrong failing to add anything seven wickets were down for 84. Then, however, Wood joined Mills and both hit up and the score mounted quickly. The wicket produced 86 runs and the innings closed for 172.

The Scratch team made a bad start. Hopkins bowled Sullivan at ro and two more wickets fell in quick succession. No one except F. C. Crowther offered any resistance, and the side was out for 62.

POCKLINGTON G.S.

Played on June 18th, at Pocklington. An early start was made : Pocklington batted first on a soft wicket and made a poor start, as Moore played on at five and Peters got Wardroper caught in slips at nine. The fourth wicket produced a good number of runs, but after this no one caused much trouble, and the side were out for 89. Peters and Hopkins again took the wickets, but Price-Jones also bowled well and had hard luck in meeting with no success.

The short time left to bat before lunch proved fatal to the school as three wickets fell for five runs. After lunch Peters joined Fernandes and the partnership which ensued produced 5+ runs.

It was most unlucky that Fernandes was out for he played an excellent innings, but even so, with 3o runs to get and six wickets in hand the school seemed to have an excellent chance At this point, however, the batsmen seemed most of winning.

Camm, Mills and Armstrong unaccountably to lose their nerve. were all out to the most feeble strokes, and Wood did not stay long. The score, however, continued to mount slowly, and the excitement grew extreme when with one wicket to fall six runs were required to win. Peters scored a four, but off the last ball of Williams' over he was clean bowled, and Pocklington thus won by one run. Score and analysis :

ST. PETER'S SCHOOL V. OLD PETERITES.

Friday was wet and so a one innings match was played on Saturday. The Old Boys batted first on a soft wicket. Lawton was soon out but Groves and Sullivan made a long stand, and after Sullivan was run out Greenhow helped to bring the score up to 175. Both Groves and Sullivan were badly missed by the same fielder when they had made only a few runs, and this of course had a great effect on the result. Sullivan eventually declared with the score at 2o5 for seven wickets.

The school started fairly well. but Ferguson was out at 38. Lacy then came in and played extremely carefully. Peters continued to score fairly freely, and the second wicket fell at 84.. Fernandes

then joined Peters and the score rose quickly till Peters was out at 125, after an excellent innings of 77. The fourth wicket fell at 14.5, and Fernandes was out with the score at 164. He had played a sound innings and had hard luck in missing his 5o. After this another collapse occurred in the school batting, and after seeming at one time to have an excellent chance of winning the school was out for 175.

ST. PETER'S SCHOOL V. BOOTHAM SCHOOL.

Played on the school ground on June 29th. The wicket was very soft, and Bootham on winning the toss decided to put us in.

The school gave a most miserable display and were all out for 53.

No one deserves any mention in a collapse which is quite unaccountable. Bootham fared little better, but managed to win by 17 runs. Score and analysis :-ST. PETER'S SCHOOL. A. J.

DURHAM SCHOOL.

Played at Durham on July 9th. Durham won the toss and chose to field. The bowlers seemed to be able to get a good deal of work on the ball, but this cannot account for the feeble display which the school gave. Lacy played well for his 20 and Haynes was batting well until he was bowled with a splendid bail from Storey. Wray played excellently and made his runs at a most critical period.

Durham found no difficulty in getting the runs and eventually won by 4. wickets and 1 24 runs. Score and analysis:— ST. PETER'S SCHOOL.

CKICKET RETROSPECT. We can hardly look back over a successful season with only one win to our credit, and indeed the results of some of the matches have been very disappointing. In at least three matches it has been due to really bad batting by most of the side that we have not won. At Pocklington, after a bad start, a stand was made and victory seemed well within reach, in fact with six wickets in hand we had only thirty runs to make, but none of the team seemed to have the slightest confidence and so we lost by one run. In the Old Boys' match too we should have done better after such an encouraging start. The three colours, Peters, Lacy, and Fernandes, have all played well ; they have not been as consistent as might have been wished, but they have played many valuable innings.

Most of the other batsmen have failed to realise the hopes we had of them. Mills played one useful innings, and Camm has done well on one or two occasions, but they both suffer from the fault of letting the ball hit the bat, Camm especially so. Wallace and Ferguson have not played nearly so well as might have been expected : they seem to lack confidence and play quite a different game in a match from what they do at the nets. Of the rest Wood has done well on one or two occasions, while Haynes has shown promise. In most of the matches the bowling has been

1'IRST XI. CHARACTERS.

4g

3

much better than was anticipated. Peters and Hopkins have sustained the brunt of the attack. The latter has not been bowling so well lately, but against Pocklington and Mr. Crowther's XI. he bowled excellently. Peters is still erratic, but he has nearly always taken wickets. Price Jones has been a far more useful .bowler than his analysis would seem to indicate. The fielding has in some cases been good, but in many matches there have been notable exceptions. Lacy has kept wicket very well ; and in the field Fernandes has always been useful and on many occasions Mills, Wallace, Price Jones, and Wood have all saved runs.

The Second XI. have had quite a successful season. They have done well in all their matches except against Durham, when they met a much stronger and older side. They defeated Pocklington and Leeds easily, and the match against Hymer's College was left drawn. Amongst the batsmen Wray, Medhurst, and Wood deserve special mention. Wilson has been the most successful bowler, whilst in the field Shann, Schroeder, Wood, Jolly, and Medhurst have always done well.

In conclusion we would thank the various umpires who have undertaken that somewhat thankless task.

FIRST XI. CHARACTERS. A good free bat and steady bowler.

Has proyed a good captain. In the field he has always set an excellent example. Batting is not his strong point but he is a reliable long-field. *C. L. ARMSTRONG. Has been greatly handicapped by an accident to his hand. As yet he lacks confidence as a bat, but he has some good strokes. Slow in the field.

A. G. WILSON. Has bowled very well on occasions, but he must learn to keep a good length and to be less erratic before he puts on pace. His batting is somewhat of the ' village-green' style.
