SCHOOL LETTER.

HIS term has seen the completion of the new Science Block. We understand that in the

Midsummer term it will be in actual use. The

Fives' Court adjoining it has been a great attraction, and the game has apparently recovered its former

position in the School. We had only three weeks' football at the

beginning of the term, as our programme was unfortunately curtailed. Hockey then occupied our attention up to the present we have played five matches, of which two have been won and

three lost. We congratulate P. H. Yeld on his exhibition for Mathematics

at Peterhouse, Cambridge. We also extend a hearty welcome to Mr. Squire, who has already been of valuable assistance by his

energy in the school games. A Chess Club has been started, under the Presidency of the

Rev. G. H. Smith, and has been very flourishing throughout this term. Details will be found in another place. We are greatly indebted to the Rev. R. 0. Hutchinson, Dr. Tempest Anderson, and the Rev. A. N. Cooper, for their kindness in lecturing to us.

The Editors desire to express their thanks to the donor of the two missing " Peterites," which were appealed for in the last number. Another bound volume of the " Peterite " has now been added to the Library.

The Sports and the Gymnastic Competition will be held at the end of the term. Major Cobbold will judge at the latter.

2 OLD PETERITE DINNER.

OLD PETERITE DINNER. (From the " Yorkshire Herald," 2 oih December, 1902).

The " Old Boys " of St. Peter's School, York, held their annual dinner on December zoth at Harker's Hotel. Special interest attached to the gathering by reason of a presentation of an illuminated address and a purse of gold to " James," who for thirty-seven years has been the faithful porter at the school. The Lord Mayor of York (Ald. E. Gray) presided, and there were also present the Sheriff of York (Mr. F. Shann), the Head-master of the school (the Rev. E. C. Owen, Mr. J. R. Wood, Mr. F. J. Munby, Mr. T. B. Whytehead, Dr. J. A. Browne, Dr. A. E. Chapman, Rev. E. Peters, Mr. R. P. Dale, Mr. G. Yeld, Rev. G. H. Smith, Mr. Arthur Peters (Hon. Sec.), Captain W. A. Pearson, and Messrs. J. Peters, A. Proctor, H. Dennis Taylor, W. M. Carter, R. Teasdale, J. Shepherd, J. G. Wilkinson, E. C. Y. Green, W. S. Senior, H. R. Partington, W. L Crombie, N. T. Crombie, Claude Crombie, T. T. P. Sherwood, J. S. Clark, G. J. Armstrong, T. E. Pulleyn, A. Sullivan, E. D. Teasdale, H. C. Scott, C. P. Scott, G. G. Yeld.

The loyal toasts having been duly honoured, Mr. F. J. Munby proposed " The Archbishop of York, Clergy,

and Ministers of all Denominations." The Rev. E. Peters responded, and referring to the great social

questions which it was now regarded as the parson's duty to face and endeavour to solve, acknowledged the evident co-operation of the ministers of all denominations.

Mr. 'I'. B. Whytehead gave the toast of " The Army, Navy, and Reserve Forces," and having borne a tribute to the splendid work done by the Imperial and Colonial volunteers expressed the hope that the country would speedily see to it that our naval reserves were no less efficient than were those of the sister service.

Captain W. A. Pearson (1st V.B. West Yorkshire Regiment) responded, and made a sympathetic reference to the loss the proposer of the toast had sustained in the death at the front of his

OLD PETERITE DINNER. 3

son. He could assure Mr. Whytehead that the heart of York went out to him in his trouble, and he trusted that the fact that his son had died in the service of his country would bring solace to him.

Touching upon the new volunteer regulations, Captain Pearson did not anticipate that they would have any ill effect upon the service, and certainly not upon his own battalion, for a promise had always

been extracted from their recruits that they would go into camp

and so receive the necessary field training.

The Sheriff of York said he had the honour and responsibility of having to propose the toast of " The School." In order to

adequately do that he would have to take the company back a

little way—merely 1,15o years—to a time when Egbert was Head-master and Alcuin was a tutor at the school. The records of that period were rather scanty—owing to one or two causes—partly to the unpleasant way the Danes had of sailing up the river, of

bagging what they could, and of sacking what they couldn't: partly also to the still more unpleasant events which took place when William the Conqueror came to these parts. He would skip a

bit and come down to a period with which they were all more familiar, to the time when William Hey ruled and when the Rev. Thos. Richardson was in being. The records of the school even

from that time could show boys who had come to the front in all

parts of the earth. The Rev. E. C. Owen, who first responded, said he was pleased,

in answer to several questions, to be able to say that the numbers

at the school were increasing, and that this term they were higher

than they had been at any rate for the last seven terms. In answer to another query his answer was that the boys did go in for swimming, but they did not practice rowing for the reason he gave last year. They were anxious to revive rowing, and had had all the boats put in repair, but they had a difficulty with their small numbers in dividing themselves properly, and the school suffered the great disadvantage of not having anyone on the staff prepared to " coach." It was held that it was better not to teach boys rowing

at school unless they could teach them a high standard of rowing,

for when afterwards they went to the University they would have

OLD PETERITE DINNER.

to unlearn their strokes and start again. Unless at St. Peter's they could revive a high standard of rowing it was better that they

should have none at all. The old fives' court was at present being fitted with a Morris tube range and would be open for shooting

practice in the next term. On an occasion like that he wished to

take the opportunity of taking the old boys into confidence—for the old boys were the very foundation of the school and it was very desirable that they should know what changes were proposed. He should like to explain the relationship between St. Peter's and St.

Olave's. About the middle of this term St. Olave's became part of St. Peter's School. For the last five terms it had been practically worked as a preparatory department of St. Peter's, but the Board of Education required a lot of red tape formalities to be gone through and the incorporation had only been accomplished with great difficulty. From September last the two schools had been one. Mr. Owen proceeded to state that next year the school

would be subject to Government inspection, but that he thought would only tend to its development and would be enormously to its advantage.

Mr. Yeld also responded, and gave an account of the school

victories in the football and cricket fields. The quality which induced a boy to fight on in the football field was the same quality which in after-life carried him to the front. He referred with

pride to Kirke, who at Woolwich in the present year came out first in the examination for Royal Engineers, taking the King's medal,

the Pollock prize for military topography. Dr. Tempest Anderson,

the Lord Mayor, and his old friend the Coroner were all good cricketers in their days, and a prettier bat than the Lord Mayor there wasn't at the time in Yorkshire.

The Lord Mayor next rose to make the presentation to " James," which he did in a happy speech. He was rather doubtful about the dates, for the address said " 1865," and he left the school in 1864 ; it was the same old James at the porter's lodge in his time. He failed to find any difference in him outwardly. It was a most remarkable fact that here they had a man who for all these long

years had faithfully and diligently, without the slightest slackening

or "going soft," carried out his duties without a single complaint from boy or master. He was now about to retire to the rural seclusion of Wigginton, and he hoped he would live long and have much happiness. The address was in the following terms :-

Presented to James Rawes Parker, together with a purse of gold, by the Lord Mayor of York, on behalf of the Dean of York, the Headmaster, and some of the past and present members of the staff, and over one hundred and fifty " Old Peterites," in recognition of thirty-seven years of faithful service as Porter at Saint Peter's School, York, from 1865 to 1902.

EDWIN GRAY, Lord Mayor of York, E. C. OWEN, Headmaster of St. Peter's School. ARTHUR PETERS, Honorary Secretary of the

Old Peterite Club. York, 19th December, 1902.

Mr. Parker thanked the old boys for their kindness, and said he could " praise Mr. Owen as a very good Headmaster for St. Peter's school." If any boy had ability Mr. Owen would bring it out of him. He hoped that the school would do something with mathematics and that the time would come when they could refuse boys because the school was full.

Mr. J. R. Wood proposed the health of " the Chairman "—the first citizen of York and an old Peterite, He had made his mark in many directions since leaving school just as he was always at the head with cricket, and foremost in the sports. Even now he was in front, for was he not the first Lord Mayor to drive a motor4 car ?

The Lord Mayor humorously replied, and adverting to the school sports said it was his fortune on one sports' day to win practically all the races. Unfortunately he belonged to a syndicate of three. One boy contributed a second prize, and the other won the consolation race. He had carried off six, so this, his first connection with syndicate, was a trifle unlucky for him.

The toast of the " Hon. Secretary " was proposed by Mr. Yeld, and in reply Mr. Arthur Peters had the satisfaction of announcing that the club was never in a more flourishing state.

FOOTBALL.

ST. PETER'S V. OLD PETERITES.

Played on the school ground on Friday, December ► st. Roy won the toss and the school played down hill. G. Yeld kicked off, and Roy mulling, a scrum took place in the school 25. The Old Boys got the ball out several times, but good spoiling play by the school backs prevented a score. A good kick by Crowther relieved the pressure : D. W. Roy, however, obtained possession of the ball and ran, only to be brought down by P. Yeld. A passing bout of the three-quarters eventually ended in C. P. Scott crossing the line. G. Yeld failed at goal. The Old Boys still maintained the pressure, but good saving by Yeld and Cadle kept them out finally Baldwin broke away from touch and gained ground, being tackled by Teasdale. The school forwards took on the ball, Farrow and Clarke being conspicuous. The Old Boys' defence proved impenetrable, and a kick by H. C. Scott relieved. G. G. Yeld next contributed a brilliant dribble down more than half the field, and ended up by scoring an unconverted try. A little afterwards D. Roy scored in the corner and Yeld kicked a splendid goal. At half-time the score was I I points—nil in favour of the Old Peterites. On the restart it was evident that the Old Boys were much the stronger side. The school forwards were beaten in the scrum and tries were scored in quick succession by Newton and Pulleyn, both of which were converted. A good kick by Roy relieved, and a little after Cadle was conspicuous with a tackle. G. Yeld again got the ball and dropped a good goal. The school forwards were now playing better together, Newton and Farrow being prominent. They got the ball out once or twice, but good tackling by the opposing backs prevented our three-quarters from doing anything.

FOOTBALL. 7

G. Yeld scored again, Bird failing at goal, and shortly afterwards another try was scored, from which a goal was kicked. Play continued even for the rest of the game, and the school were pressing when the whistle blew, leaving the Old Boys victorious by 5 goals (one dropped), 3 tries to nothing.

The following represented the school :—Back, M. W. Richards ; threequarters, S. Crowther, M. H. T. Roy (capt.), L. M. Cadle, R. H. Verini ; half-backs, P. H. Yeld, A. R. St. George ; forwards,

J. E. Farrow, E. E. Yeld, A. E. Clark, G. Newton, K. Nelson, R. Baldwin, M. Browne, R. C. Todd.

The Old Peterite team was as follows :—Back, H. C. Scott ; three-quarters, E. D. Teasdale, T. E. Nelson, D. W. Roy, C. P. Scott : half-backs, J. Shepherd, E. J. Armstrong; forwards, G. G. Yeld, T. C. Newton, W. H. Crosthwaite, L. Bird, C. Nelson, J. Russell, T. E. Pulleyn, C. V. Crombie.

ST. PETER'S V. HULL & EAST RIDING F.C.

Played at York in a heavy gale. Our opponents brought a fairly strong team, including B. Oughtred, the international captain. The school won the toss and kicked off with the wind. A series of scrums took place about half-way, and then the Hull forwards brought the ball to our 25. Their halves got the ball away smartly from the succeeding scrum and after a nice passing bout the wing man got in at the corner. The kick at goal was a failure. After this reverse the school forwards played up with great vigour, repeatedly wheeling their heavier opponents and coming away with the ball. But they were not to be denied. Oughtred broke away cleverly and gave to his threequarters who scored in the corner. Again no goal. The school still continued to play up well, the forwards tackling with great keenness. But again the Hull forwards broke away with a dribble to be smartly brought up by Mr. Squire with a beautiful gather and kick. Despite plucky saving by Yeld they again rushed the ball to our line, and after some keen scrums, their passing machinery got going again and one of the centres got in. No goal. After the drop out a series of scrums took place at the half-way flag. The

8 FOOTBALL.

Hull forwards let the ball out, but Roy intercepted the pass to

Oughtred and dodging the full-back scored in good position. The same player failed at goal. Half-time score, 3 tries to one try. By the second half the wind had rapidly risen, and that, together with our opponents' weight, completely demoralised the school

play. There is no need to say anymore about this half of the game. The Hull men ran in as they liked. The school never but once got the ball away from their 25. The whistle blew with the

score 36 to 3 against us. The peculiar feature of the game was that no goals were kicked.

The following were the school team : .Back, S. G. Squire, Esq. ; lhreequarlers, R. H. Verini, L. M. Cadle, M. H. T. Roy (capt.),

S. Crowther ; half-back, P. H. Yeld. A. R. St. George ; forwards,

J. E. Farrow, A. E. Clark, G. Newton, R. Baldwin, M. Browne, A. B. Sale, E. C. Y. Green, Esq., J. G. Wilkinson, Esq.

ST. PETER'S V. C. V. CROMBIE, ESQ.'S XV.

Played on the school ground on Saturday, February i4th. Our opponents won the toss and played with the wind. Clark kicked off, but the ball was returned and play took place in our 25, where Roy and Mr. Wilkinson did useful work in defending. Our

forwards were, as usual, bad at the start and consequently the scratch team began to press. At last a good kick by Cadle

relieved, and the ball was carried back to the centre of the field, where a series of scrums took place. Next a dribble of the visitors' forwards brought the ball back, and a half picking up the

ball transferred to Pulleyn, who ran in ; he ought, however, to have been held by the school forwards. The try was improved. A fit

of meekness seemed to have seized the School, for not long afterwards the ball was passed to a wing three-quarter, who was

gently let down over the line; the try was not converted. This seemed to wake us up, for we now became the aggressors. A good attempt to score was made by Roy, who was, however, well tackled. Farrow and Browne also headed a dribble, and the school were pressing when the whistle blew, leaving the score at 8 points to nil in favour of the scratch team. On the resumption

FOOTBALL. 9

our forwards played up much better, their tackling being much keener, and their scrumming harder. The halves, however, were much too slow ; though we frequently got possession of the ball they very rarely got it out to the three-quarters. When they eventually succeeded in doing so, the three-quarters made good use of their opportunity, and Crowther, receiving the ball, sprinted in and scored in the corner. Roy failed to convert. The school still continued to be dangerous, and the forwards outlasted our opponents in condition ; the backs also tackled well, Roy and Mr. Wilkinson being especially noticeable. At last Crowther again received the ball and scored, Cadle failing to kick a goal. The game now became very exciting, both sides working their hardest. C. Nelson got away down the touch line, but was tackled opportunely by Cadle. Not long after Pulleyn was well brought down by Baldwin. The school forwards had now the upper hand and were following up well. At last the ball was kicked up the field and Cadle obtaining it near the touch line ran towards the middle and dropped a fine goal from outside the 25, amidst great excitement. The whistle blew almost immediately afterwards, leaving the School victorious by r o points to 8.

The following represented the school : Back, L. M. Cadle; three-quarters, R. H. Verini, M. H. T. Roy, J. G. Wilkinson, Esq., S. Crowther ; half-backs, P. H. Yeld, A. R. St. George ; forwards,

J. E. Farrow, A. E. Clarke, G. Newton, R. Baldwin, M. Browne, R. C. Todd, A. B. Sale, B. H. Pickering.

ST. PETER'S 2ND V. LEEDS G.S. 2ND.

Played November 27th at Leeds, and resulted in a draw of five points all. Verini scored for the school and converted. The state of the ground was very bad and handicapped the Leeds backs. Leeds had the best of the play and were unfortunate in not winning. The pick of the York team were Verini, Eardley, and R. H. Colley. The following represented the school :—Back, E. N. Greenhow ; three-quarters, W. Armstrong, R. H. Verini (capt.), H. E. Windle, R. I. K. Elliott ; half-backs, W. E. Eardley, J. L. Fisher ; forwards, B. E. Yeats, W. H. Colley, K. S. Jones, E. T. Heap, E. S. Bulmer, E. A. Clarkson, C. Duffitt, R. H. Colley.

10 FOOTBALL CHARACTERS.

FOOTBALL CHARACTERS.

M. H. T. ROY (1900-1-2-3) Jost. 81b.—Has made a good captain, setting a splendid example of dash and energy. A fast wing three-quarter, but might kick and pass a little more. A very strong tackler.

M. W. RICHARDS (1900-1-2-3), I o st.—A good full-back ; much stronger than last season. A splendid kick.

P. H. YELD (1900-1-2-3), lost. 81b.—Plays a good defensive game at half-back, but does not open the game enough to attack.

J. E. FARROW (1900-1-2-3), I 1 st. 71b.—A very strong hard-working forward. Hard to stop.

E. E. YELD (1901-2-3), 9st. 8 lb.—Plays a very fair forward game. A good dribbler, but rather slow.

G. A. FISHER (1901-2-3), 9st. 12 lb.—Has proved a good defensive centre, tackled well, but has not kicked or passed enough.

A. E. CLARK (1902-3), 1 0 s1. 7 lb —A very good forward. Brilliant in loose rushes. A thorough hard worker in the scrum and a splendid dribbler.

FOOTBALL RETROSPECT. II

A. R. St. GEORGE (19oz -3), 8 st.—A good half behind winning forwards ; too light to defend very well. Works hard and

makes good openings. A. B. SALE, I I St. 7 16.—A useful forward ; very fair all round,

strong and heavy.

J. PULLEYN, 1 1 St. 1 2 lb.—Showed great promise as a forward and

would have been extremely useful.

FOOTBALL RETROSPECT. This season has not been so successful as its predecessor, but

our ill-success has largely been due to bad luck. Accidents have frequently deprived us of players' services, and we have never put our whole team in the field this season. Our two heaviest forwards, Pulleyn and Sale, have been absent from the team owing to injuries

throughout almost the whole season. Sale's pace ought to have been very useful in so slow a pack.

The forwards have been undoubtedly the best part of the team.

Although somewhat deficient in weight and pace they have played a hard bustling game against their heavier opponents. They seemed to have great difficulty, however, in heeling out.

Of the backs the three-quarters showed good defensive powers, as in the Giggleswick and the first Hull and East Riding match ; but they were very slow and had very little idea of combination. Perhaps the halves were partly to blame for this last defect. They were very slow at getting the ball out, a fault which cost us our defeat by Headingley. They had also somewhat rudimentary

notions of spoiling their opponents tactics. Yeld, however, played a grand defensive game, his saving being very conspicuous, while

St. George occasionally did smart things on the attack. At full-back Richards' form was very variable. On some

occasions he played extremely well. Cadle, who played occasionally in that position, though possibly less brilliant, was much safer. His drop-goal against Crombie's XV. was a splendid effort.

In all the School won four matches : Leeds G.S., Wakefield G.S.,

Ripon G.S., C. V. Crombie, Esq.'s XV.

I 2 FOOTBALL RETROSPECT.

Of our losses the two blots are the Crosby match, when the team played far below their form and lost by twenty-four points, and the match against a very weak team of Old Boys. The team improved, however, and, after having bad luck in losing the Headingley match by a try, made two good fights with a very strong Hull and East Riding team and Durham School at Durham.

Wakefield and Ripon were easy victories for us, as were the second Hull and East Riding and second Old Boys' matches for our

opponents. After a game of a very scrambling order we just managed to defeat C. V. Crombie, Esq.'s XV. by 2 points.

In addition to the ordinary school players we must thank Mr.

Green and Mr. Wilkinson for their assistance and Mr. Squire for

his services during the Easter term. The second XV. were not successful. After being saved from

defeat at Leeds rather luckily by the state of the ground, they

concluded their season with a fiasco at Durham, to which further reference is unnecessary. However, many members of the team are

young and show some promise. The following are those who have scored tries this season:—

H. Roy (7), P. H. Yeld (4), Clark (3), Fisher (3), Richards (r), Farrow (1), Cadle (1), Browne (I), St. George (1), and Crowther (2).

E. E. Yeld has converted three goals, Roy and Cadle one each.

Cadle dropped one goal.

MUSICAL SOCIETY.

An Invitation Concert was given on Thursday, December 18th, 1902, when the Big Hall was well filled with visitors.

As the school was not then prolific of soloists, and as some even

of those we had were absent, only half the programme was our own.

For the rest we were indebted to Mr. Walter Creighton, and our old friend Mr. P. M. Garratt.

Our heartiest thanks are due to Mr. Hutchinson for undertaking the duties of a conductor, Mr. Senior having fallen a victim to influenza. This was the more generous, as we fear it must be con-

fessed that the various items transferred to his charge were not in a very advanced state of progress. It should be laid down as an axiom for future concerts, that half a term's is insufficient practice

for quartettes and part-songs. One of these, however, the charm-ing old ditty " Golden Slumbers Kiss Your Eyes," which closed

the concert, went very well indeed and had to be repeated. It seems to be a subsidiary work of the School Musical Society

to introduce to the notice of its friends rising professional talent.

It was not many months ago that we were able to announce a pianoforte recital by Mr. P. M. Garratt, the memory of which survives to-day ; on this occasion we not only welcomed Mr.

Garratt back again, but with him Mr. Walter Creighton. Mr. Creighton bears a well-known name, and if we mistake not, will invest it in a few years time with fresh distinction. Our trebles will be interested to know that, as a boy, he was the possessor of a voice of marvellous strength and sweetness. This has now developed into a baritone of undeniable timbre. When Mr. Creighton comes to his artistic maturity—he is still perhaps too young for a public singer—he will doubtless recover its full strength also.

We liked him best in his first performance, " Quand la Flamme de l'Amour " a fine drinking song by Bizet ; to which, with his Parisian training, he did full justice. For " Pretty Polly Oliver," a charming old ballad, he was compelled to give an encore, Tosti's " Venetian Love Song," which many may have thought his best effort. With the " Toreador's Song " we were a little disappointed ; there was not the necessary life about it. It is only fair to add that the room was oppressively hot, not a window being open, and this the singer obviously felt.

Mr. Garratt was in splendid form : His playing had made marked progress in those points in which once he seemed deficient : there is more breath, greater grip ; he communicated more definite im-pressions. This was the more noticeable, as for one of his encores he played Saint-Saens' " Etude en forme de Valse," the executive difficulties of which seemed to give him no trouble at all. His other encore was " Papillons " by M. Rosenthal ; and the pieces encore were Godard's Scherzo " En Route " and a study by Liszt. He also made an excellent accompanist.

Perhaps it may not be an unwarranted intrusion into the future to imagine a recital tour by these two young artistes. At any rate

we believe that, whether together or independently, they have before them a bright career, and that we shall one day have cause to be proud that St. Peter's was among the first to have recognized their abilities.

EASTER TERM, 1903.

This term only two meetings have been held, but both were distinctly successful ; perhaps owing to the fact that the pro-

grammes were more popular in character. Further, the choruses

were much improved by a voluntary singsong every evening, which was well patronized. They went with far more precision and

vigour. Excellent violin solos were played by J. B. Groves, and M. W.

Peters, whose exceptional purity of tone was well illustrated by a beautiful Norwegian air entitled " Greenland," an air plainly descriptive of a solitary land, such as readers of McClintock's

Voyage of the Fox would appreciate. We are glad to notice two or three new soloists among the trebles. Ashby, Smith ii. and

Rickell have all sung ; while the two former have promising voices, the latter's is on the point of going ; but it has,been good and his

style of singing reflects credit on previous teaching. We welcome back St. George as a baritone ; he has only sung once, and was then unfortunately suffering from a cold, so that it was no test ; but

there is promise of range, strength and tone. Solos were also sung by Baldwin and Sale, whose last song was in some ways his

best. "Ethiopia Saluting the Colours " is a fine, effective composition,

and it is gratifying to notice that it has become a general favourite. We shall miss Sale's vigorous voice from future concerts ; but generations cannot stand still ; so while we wish him good-bye and good luck, we issue a call to others to fill the vacant place.

This term there was only one reading, which Mr. Yeld gave. It was much appreciated, being " The Pool of the Diving Friar," by

T. L. Peacock, with a ' moral' by another hand,' which we here give, commending it at the same time to the consideration of all

whom it may concern. " If a treasure you find after much heavy work

Don't use it to plunder and slay like a Turk ;

Don't give it to Friars who are fishing with flies, And naturally on the look out for a rise.

But give it St. Peter—his heirs and assigns Will see it's employed on the very best lines. You need not decide till your treasure is found

Whether that be a tube, or a Lab., or a ground.

6 HOCKEY.

The last concert of all, being of the nature of a finale, was exclusively musical. Two delightful pianoforte solos were con-tributed by Mr. G. F. Tendall, " Romance-Schuytte" and " Menuet-Durand." They were encored. Mr. Tendall and Mr. Senior also played as a duet (a welcome novelty) the first two of Brahms' " Hungarian Dances." The Part Song " Fair Hebe" did not go very well. There was little or no expression, and the conductor was mainly ornamental. But the principal feature of the concert was undoubtedly an accompaniment of strings to the choruses. We had previously remarked that the school possessed the nucleus of an orchestra, and this concert was proof positive. No less than eight performers (including a 'cellist) took part ; and the pro-gramme was infinitely the brighter for their skill.

Let us hope that the effort thus tentatively made, may be developed next season into a serious branch of the music of the School.

HOCKEY.

ST. PETER'S V. A YORK TEAM.

Played on the Yorkshire Gentlemen's Ground in wet weather. Our opponents had not a full side. From the bully-off Beard or Laughton took the ball to our goal, but Sale relieved, Mr. Wilkinson again clearing a moment later. The School then asserted them-selves and the first goal was scored by Cadle. This was quickly followed by one from Pickering and a third from Jones. York now attacked and scored through mistakes by our backs. The School, however, immediately scored again through Cadle after some good passing. Half-time : St. Peter's i goals ; York r goal.

On the restart Roy scored after a smart run, but " Sticks " was given the goal disallowed. Later Jones scored a fine goal from the edge of the circle. York now made some determined efforts, but were too much handicapped. Cadle again scored from a pass from Jones and time came with the score. St. Peter's 6 ; York r.

HOCKEY. 17

COMMENTS.—The shooting of the forwards was very weak, but,

perhaps, the bad conditions were to be blamed. The halves did not feed them very effectively, having a great tendency not to back up, but their defence was fairly good. The backs, though not very severely tried, were impenetrable, while Yeats, despite one mistake,

did all he had to do successfully.

ST. PETER'S V. YORK.

Played on the Yorkshire Gentlemen's Ground in fine weather. York speedily showed their superiority, but Mr.Wilkinson and Fisher

and Clark defended grandly, and Yeats saved what seemed a certain goal. The School kept breaking away and made some

good attempts to score, but the York backs were too good. Gostling scored a goal for them after a brilliant run. This seemed

to dishearten our team but their forwards missed a great many

chances. Just before half-time the School woke up and the forwards showed good combination, but just failed to score.

Half-time : York r goal ; St. Peter's nil. Soon after the re-start Beard scored a second goal for York, and

though the halves and backs did their best, a third goal seemed

imminent. The pressure was at last relieved by St. George, and play remained in midfield for some time. Roy, Jones and Mr.

Squire all shot well, but their goal keeper always managed to clear.

At last Cadle got away and managed to score a goal for the School. Roy hit the post and Mr. Senior failed to utilise an opportunity. Time came with the score : York 2 goals ; St. Peter's 1 goal.

COMMENTS.—The School combination was very much at fault

when opposed to good backs. Our backs played a great game, and we had hard luck in not making a draw. The halves still showed

their old fault of not backing up enough, but still did some useful work. St. George quite justified his selection. The combination of the forwards was poor, chiefly owing to the weakness of the

insides' play. Cadle was the pick.

A. R. St. George, G. A. Fisher, P. H. Yeld ; forwards, Mr. Squire, Mr. Senior, L. M. Cadle, K. S. Jones, M. H. T. Roy.

ST. PETER'S SCHOOL V. THE INSURANCE OFFICE.

Played on the School ground in stormy weather. The School immediately attacked and St. George opened the scoring from a corner, Mr. Squire quickly putting on a second and Pickering a third. The Insurance Office now broke away and after some good passing Dewhirst scored an easy goal. Directly afterwards Cadle scored a fourth for the School from a centre from Roy, the latter putting through himself a moment later, only to be brought back for " sticks." Half-time : St. Peter's School, 4. goals ; The Insur-ance Office, nil.

On the re-start Cadle scored his second goal, which was immediately followed by another from Mr. Squire. A. E. Farrow then scored for our opponents from half-back, Yeats having been brought out as extra half back. Pickering and Cadle each scored another goal, leaving the score : St. Peter's School, 8 goals ; The Insurance Office, 2 goals.

COMMENTS.—The School forwards were better than the opposing backs, Roy and Mr. Squire being the pick. Fisher, Clark and Mr. Wilkinson defended well. St. George must get out of his bad habit playing with one hand, but was otherwise safe ; Yeld was very slow. A. E. Farrow and Cooper played a good game for our opponents.

Goal, B. Yeats ; full-backs, J. G. Wilkinson, Esq., A. E. Clark ; half-backs, A. R. St. George, G. A. Fisher, P. H. Yeld ; forwards,

ST. PETER'S SCHOOL V. W. H. PICKERING, ESQ'S. TEAM.

Played on the School Ground. The School attacked from the bully-off, but the fine defence of their backs prevented a score. End to end play followed and their right wing scored an off-side

goal. He atoned for this a minute later by scoring legally after a fine run. This seemed to discourage the School, and their efforts were for a time very feeble, and our opponents scored again after continued pressure. The School forwards, ably assisted by the half-backs now pressed, and Mr. Squire made a good shot at goal,

Cadle hitting the post a moment later. Half-time : Pickering Esq's. Team, 2 goals ; St. Peter's School, nil.

The second half was a repetition of the first except for the fact

that Mr. Wilkinson and Clark managed to prevent any further

scoring. They kept up a strong attack for some time, but at last our forwards transferred play to the opposite end, where both Roy

and Pickering had hard lines in not scoring. The pressure was

maintained till the whistle blew with the score : Pickering Esq's.

Team, z goals; St. Peter's School, nil. COMMENTS.—The opposing half and full-backs were far too

strong for our forwards, and though we were often on the attack,

we were seldom within shooting distance. For us the defence was

good, and the combination of the forwards much improved. Heap,

at full back, played a good game for them.

Goal, B. Yeats ; full-backs, J. G. Wilkinson, Esq., A. E. Clark ;

half-backs, P. H. Yeld, G. H. Fisher, A. R. St. George ; forwards, B. H. Pickering, S. G. Squire, Esq., L. M. Cadle, K. S. Jones, M. Roy.

ST. PETER'S SCHOOL V. YORK INSURANCE OFFICE.

The School quickly started the scoring through Jones, and

pressed for some time before Cadle added a second and Jones a third. Terry then scored by a break away by the opposing forwards, our half-backs being too close to our forwards. This encouraged the Insurance Office and they made some determined attacks. Cadle, however, scored again at the other end and Roy

followed suit with a fifth goal. Half-time : St. Peter's School, 5 goals; The Insurance Office, i goal.

In the second half the Insurance Office had much more of the game, but Mr. Squire and Fisher soon added goals. Directly after-wards the ball was rushed through by Nelson and Gardiner from a

good centre. Cadle and Pickering retaliated with further goals for the School. St. Peter's School, q goals; York Insurance Office, 2 goals.

COMMENTS. The School forwards all played a very good game. The backs played well, but the half-backs were the weak spot of the team, Heap being the best. A. E. Farrow played brilliantly for our opponents.

LECTURES. 2 i

The Report of the Special Committee, appointed at the last Annual Meeting, to consider the desirability of a Scheme of Life-

membership and report thereon was read by the Secretary. After some discussion of the subject it was resolved :-

That a copy of the Report of the Special Committee be sent

to every member of the Club previous to the next General

Meeting, and that the further consideration of the Scheme

be postponed until such Meeting.

The usual Money Grants of for School-Reading Prize and

for a School-Sports' Prize were voted also a Special Grant for

the ensuing year of f o towards the rent of the new School Cricket Field, and a Grant to the Dinner Committee of a sum not to

exceed j5 to defray the expenses of the Dinners in the ensuing

year, the accounts thereof to be produced at the Annual General Meeting.

In accordance with the Committee's recommendation, of which due notice had been given, it was resolved :-

That Rule IX. be altered by the substitution of the words " on a convenient day in the month of December" for the words

" on the second day of the School Theatricals." A vote of thanks to the Chairman closed the proceedings.

LECTURES.

On Saturday, February z r st, the Rev. R. 0. Hutchinson treated the School to a very interesting lecture on " Tannhauser."

The recitation of the Story of Wagner's Opera was interspersed by the rendering of some of its songs, which were received with great enthusiasm. We are greatly indebted to Mr. G. F. Tendall for his

kindness in playing the accompaniments, and also the prelude to

the second Act. On Saturday, March 7th, the big hall was crowded by an audience

anxious to hear Dr. Tempest Anderson's lecture on Mount Soufriere. The lecturer is no stranger at the School, and as one of the Com-missioners appointed by the Royal Society to examine into the

causes of the West Indian volanic outbreaks, he was well qualified

to speak on the subject. He had some splendid slides to show, and he succeeded in making his subject thoroughly interesting to

everybody. At the conclusion of the proceedings he shewed he

knew his duty as an Old Boy by asking for an extra half-holiday. On Monday, March 16th, we were visited by the Rev. A. N.

Cooper, Vicar of Filey, "the Walking Parson," who lectured on

" A Walk to Venice." He first proceeded to tell the School how he equipped himself for the journey. He even enlightened us as to how he managed to get his only shirt washed every week during the walk ! Mr. Cooper paid a tribute to the invariable courtesy he had

received from the inhabitants of the six countries which he traversed during his walk. He then showed us some excellent views of Venice, one of the interior of St. Mark's Cathedral being especially

appreciated.

26 NOTES AND ITEMS.

NOTE (3.)—It may be observed as a curious coincidence, that John or Guy Johnson was the alias assumed by Guy Fawkes on returning to England from Spain.
