IF it is our duty to preface the 'Shirburuian' with a fewremarks by way of an editorial at the beginning of the

School year, it is surely no less our duty to do so when the yearis drawing to a close: especially is it our duty when the pastterm has been as eventful as the one which is now at an end.Its principal feature has of course been the CommemorationDay. Not only was this Commemoration Day memorable asthe most successful which has been held for years, but also asthe Day on which the West Window of the Chapel, lately filledwith stained glass in memory of Dr. Harper was unveiled.This window, a fitting tribute to a great and good man, is byfar the best of all our windows surpassing even those in theAbbey. It was done by Clayton and Bell, and is in the beststyle possible. Its design is intended to recall the leadingevents in the history of the School. In the central light standsthe figure of St. LEldhelm first bishop of Sherborne, and belowhim is St. Stephen Harding, who as a boy was educated at theMonastery School of Sherborne. He is sitting down, with theCarta Caritatis or Rule of the Cistercian Order ofwhich he wasthe founder, open on his knee. The four scenes representedare: first, St. LEldhelm teaching his boys in the MonasterySchool-second, Bishop Eahlsta~ leading the men of Somerset

and Dorset to battle against the Danes at the mouth of the

Parrett in theyear 84s-third, Thomas Coke Fellow of Queen'sCollege Oxford restarting the work of teaching in IS5o-andfourth, Hugo Daniel Harper celebrating the School tercentenaryin 1850. In the "vesica" of the window are the arms of EdwardVI. second founder of the School, and in the panels above it arethe arms of Major-Gen. Hammond, V.C., D.S.O., and A. E.Hensley who gave his life in trying to save that of a child withdiphtheria, in those below are the arms of Professor Kelland,the only Senior \Vrangler who came from Sherborne, and SirLewis Morris" old Shirburnians chosen for special mark herenot for their own sakes merely, but because they representmany others of their Schoolfellows who took the same roads inlife." These arms are in turn flanked by the Golden Dragon of\Vessex and the Tudor Rose, and again on the one side by thefigure of Ine, who founded Sherborne, and King lElfred, whowas probably himself an Old Shirburnian, and on the other bythose of Osmund, Bishop of Salisbury, the compiler of theUse of Sarum, and once chief of the Monastery and School,and Thomas Wynyff, Bishop of Lincoln, an old Sherborneboy' who suffered for the Church of England in the time of the

Civil War.

Shortly before Commemoration Day was published Mr.Wildman's long looked-for' History of Sherborne.' It is notfor us to speak of this work, a review of which is to be writtenby a far more able pen in the next edition of the' Shirburnian.'In the preface he expresses his thanks to Mr. H. R. King forkindly revising the proof-sheets and to G. E. Headlam for hisassistance in the plans.

A double success has been won by Sherborne in PublicSchool contests. Bradfield has been beaten by 10 wickets, andwe have won the Cadets' Trophy open to all Cadets underseventeen years of age. Shaw's grand score has been noticedelsewhere, but we take this opportunity of congratulating·himand Fletcher on the success they have won for the School.

Two more University Honours have been gained bymembers of the School since our last issue-Co Martin (b) hasbeen elected Exhibitioner of \iVorcester College, and G. E.Headlam (d) has gained a Bible Clerkship of the annual valueof £150 at All Souls. These with the honours already gainedwere d~ly chronicled in the Commemoration Contio, which alsoalluded to the Rt. Hon. Montague Bernard, D.C.L., an O.S. ofsome fame, one of the Judicial Committee of the PrivyCouncil and Professor of International Law and Diplomacy atOxford, to the Harper Memorial \Vindow, already mentioned,to Mr. H. R. Thomson, the latest corner of the AssistantMasters, to our double victory over St. Paul's at football andcricket in 1895, to our victory over Bradfield in the same year,to O. M. Dyke who ran a dead-heat for first place in the PublicSchool Mile, to the new school songs, composed by Mr. JamesRhodes and Mr. L. N. Parker, to Mr. Wildman's History ofSherborne, and to the latest addition to our Big Schoolroom ofa splendid oak floor the gift of Mr. H. R. King, to whom weowe it that at this moment no school in England possesses amore magnificent room.

As the Contio was really a chronicle of the leading eventsin the past year it is unnecessary to add anything further. Inconclusion it mllst be said that few schools can boast a moresuccessful record.

COMMEMORATION.

Probably many years will pass before we can again have aCommemoration equal to that enjoyed on the 25th of June thisyear. The occasion was a special one, f0r not only were therethe parents in their accustomed numbers, but also a largenumber of Old Shirburnians of all generations, most of whomhad come to see the Harper memorial window in the chapelunveiled and thus pay the last tribnte of respect to the memoryof a great headmaster. The weather left nothing to be desired,for the day was warm and sunny except for a thunder-showerof twenty minutes duration during lunch time, and even thisshower did good rather than harm by cooling the air for theafternoon and giving an opportunity for some felicitous speechesto be made in the Gymnasium by the Headmaster, LordEdmond Fitzmaurice and Sir John Kennaway.

There were some new features in the Commemorationbesides its magnitude and the unveiling of the new window.A special train from London was run both ways for the visitors,arriving in time for the Abbey Service and leaving just beforethe Concert; the lunch for the Schoolhouse and its visitors hadto be held in the Gymnasium, which was elaborately decorated,because 250 guests could not get into the Schoolhouse hall, anda new feature altogether was the O.S. supper after the concertat the Digby of which more will be said presently.

The congregation at the Abbey service was very large,much larger than for many years. The sermon was preachedby the Rev. Canon Bernard, Chancellor of Wells. The Com­memoration itself had been lengthened and perfected, thegrowth of the School being set forth opposite the names of theHeadmasters in whose reign each advance took place.

After the service the visitors went into the chapel for theceremony of the unveiling. Some considerately preferredhowever to remain outside and so most of those who wished tosee the window were able to do so. l\Irs. Harper had withequal kindness and courage consented to perform the act of un­veiling, and the Headmaster delivered an admirable orationupon the history of the School, as painted here on glass. The\Vindow itself is described elsewhere in the ShirbuY11iatt and itis generally agreed to be a fine work of art and to take its placeabove all the other painted windows in the School, and probablyabove those of the Abbey also.

Lunch was at two o'clock, and at half-past three thespeeches began in the Schoolroom, which was crowded and

The 5 hirburnian. [JULY,

reasonably hot. In the rows of seats usually occupied by thechoir was a solid mass of Old Boys filling the whole space,with a single lady who had seated herself there under somemisapprehension, and among the guests who occupied theGovernors' seats were Dean Boyle, Lord E. Fitzmaurice, SirJohn Kennaway, Canon Bernard, Chancellor Rogers (O,S.),Mr. Phelips, Colonel Goodden, Major McAdam and Mr. Digby.The Gallery was occupied by the Upper School and the LowerSchool had to be content with stopping outside.

The only speech of any importance was the Headmaster's,and it was short and pointed, expressing a welcome generally tothe numerous guests, and to Mrs. Harper in particular for herpresence, and contempt for those who from motives of indolenceprofess to elevate chemistry above the making of Latin verses.

The prize-giving calls for no comment of a special kind butthe acting of the three scenes from" The Rivals" and one scenefrom" The Knights" most certainly does.

The level of the acting was decidedly higher than for manyyears and without being of uniform merit reached a highstandard. Even Lee- Warner's unimportant part shewed greatconscientiousness and is not to play a small part well a test ofa good company? But on the whole de Rougemont must beawarded the prize for his reading of Faulkland's part. Nothingbetter done has been seen on the Sherborne red baize fortwelve years at any rate, and Winch's Mrs. Malaprop did notcome far behind though he was somewhat overweighted withhis headgear. Again, there was in the Greek scene muchmore general satisfaction shown than is customary-moresatisfaction and less bewilderment, a plentiful supply of realisticeffects in food compensating for a certain want of acquaintancewith the Greek language.

Proceedings came to a close with the reading of part ofthe English Prize Essay.

COlVIMEMORATION CONCERT.

[JULY,

At the Concert only invited guests were present and theSchoolroom was full except under the gallery, visi tors preferringto sit on chairs in the gangway to that somewhat oppressivequarter.

The Concert may be said to have been steeped andsaturated with Sherborne. The principal solo was sung by an0.5., Mr. Turner singing with fine effect Pinsuti's ' King'sMinstrel' which was encored, and the newly completed Sher­borne School Song Book was largely used for the first time, itscontents were in fact the principal feature of the evening. Outof it were sung the Commemoration Song, the new Cricket Song,the Festal Song of greeting to the numerous 0.5. (originally com­posed for and sung at the Hundredth Concert of the Society) andof course the Carmen. But the best piece of combined singingof the evening was the folk-song' Come lasses and lads' whichwas perfectly sung and followed by a storm of applause. Goodas the choir is now it is never so good as when singing frommemory with an attention wholly bent on the conductor, yetexcept in a simple piece it is not easy to secure this condition.

The Commemoration Song was good but not perfect, butthe new Cricket Song went admirably. Mr. Rhoades hastouched his subject with a lighter hand than usual in this song,but the words are as happy as ever and we thank him for themin the name of the School. Mr. Parker who sat for the firsttime in his life among the audience, was called on at the end forthe musical composition, and had to rise and bow gracefully.

Finally, "Mr. Regan and the gentlemen ofthe Orchestra"must not be forgotten, for all their performances were popularand over one of them the School became quite delirious in itsdesire for repetition. This was not to be, for it was getting lateand there was still one act unfinished in the day's eventfulhistory.

SCHOOL v. ST. PAUL'S SCHOOL.

This match was played at Kensington on June 12th. Asit was a one day match an early start was necessary.Whinney won the toss and decided to put St. Paul's in, as thelight was curious and the wicket none too good. At 9.45Gilman and Gibb faced the bowling of Prichard (Pavilion end)and Martin. The start was disastrous, as when 6 runs hadbeen scored Gilman was run out from a smart return byTemperley, and Prichard shortly after removed Gibb by abeautiful ball. Clementi- Smith and Littlejohn stayed for atime, but the scoring was terribly slow, varied by an occasionalcut through the slips by Littlejohn. Clementi-Smith was verywell caught by \Vhinney for 17 and Littlejohn shortly afterretired for 18. The last wickets gave some trouble Baileyhitting about with great freedom for his 30 runs. The scorereached 140.

After lunch Temperley and Stanger-Leathes went in to

242 The Slzil'bul'lliall. [JULY,

the bowling of Alexander and Dodd. Temperley after hittingthe first two balls of the innings to the boundary was bowled bya good one from Alexander. Stanger-Leathes, Partridge andMartin were out in quick succession and until Whinney andRougemont got together nothing like a stand was made.\i\Tinch stayed with his captain for half an hour. in which hecompiled 10. All this time Whinney had been playingextremely well and was ninth out for a capita16s. This splendideffort to save the game was marred by two difficult chances andit is the best innings he has yet played for the XI. Our inningsclosed for ro8.

St. Paul's thus won by 33 runs. Without wishing todetract from their victory we must plead in extenuation of ourdefeat the bad light against the dull red back of the Schoolbuildings and the vagaries of a wicket, which was quite one ofthe worst we have played on. The redeeming features of ourotherwise feeble display were Prichard's 6 wickets for 39 andWhinney's fine display mentioned above. Alexander bowledvery finely for them, taking 7 wickets for 30.

SCHOOL v. M.C.C. AND G.

This match was played on Thursday and Friday, JuneT9th and 20th. The wicket was in favour of the bowlersthroughout, but this did not detract from the interest of thegame which was certainly one of the best played upon theschool ground this year. The club brought down a strongteam including Vernon Leese and C. M. Leese of DevonCounty and the three professionals Pickett (Essex), G. G.Hearne (Kent), and Storer (Derbyshire). Whinney won thetoss and after a slight delay caused by a heavy shower, sent inPartridge and Stanger- Leathes to face the bowling of Pickettand George Hearne. Stanger- L,eathes scored three in thesecond over, but without addition was tamely caught at point.Martin and Partridge played with extreme care, only four runsbeing added in seven overs, when George Hearne found his wayto Partridge's wicket. vVith two wickets down for 7 runs, ageneral collapse seemed likely-but with Whinney in thebowling was played with more confidence, and Storer who hadup till now occupied his usual post, surrendered the gloves toC. 1\1. Leese and went on vice Pickett. The score rose slowlyto 27 when George Hearne bowled Martin who had been in anhour for 14. Temperley joined \Vhinney and both batsmenplayed carefully and well. \Vith 47 on the board \Vhinney lefthis ground to Storer and was smartly stumped. De Rougemontin hitting at a slow lei{- break was caught at third man withoutaddition. Prichard joined Temperley and another stand was

The Shirburnian. [JULY,

made. George Hearne gave way to Pickett, but the separationcame from the other end, Temperley being caught from a skierto mid-off. He had been in an hour for his score. The fastbowler dismissed \Vinch first ball and Crawford joined Prichard,who appeared to be quite at home with the bowling, scoringespecially off Storer. Crawford left at 78 and nine later Pickettbowled Prichard, who had played an invaluable innings.Stenning was quickly dismissed, and the innings closed for 87,Pickett having taken 4 wickets for 24·

The start of the Club was no less disastrous than our own,H ulton being run out in the first over, and Vernon Leese caughtat the wicket at 15. \Vith Storer in things began to look betterfor our opponents-the professionals indulging in some verysharp runs. With 46 on the board Martin bowled the Derby­shire wicket-keeper with a splendid ball. Five later GeorgeH earne left to a good catch at extra -cover. Two more wicketsfell before time, C. M. Leese being bowled by Martin, andMackenzie being caught at cover-point.

On Saturday morning Ingham and Long resumed theM.C.C. innings, which' finally closed for 13I. The end wasenlivened by the brilliant hitting of the Rev. Foss Westcott,whose innings of 40, the highest in the match, included fourfours and four threes.

Partridge and Stanger-Leathes were again the first pair,Storer and George Hearne sharing the bowling. The formerafter scoring 9 out of 10 was bowled by Storer. Martin whocame next was dismissed second ball, and \Vhinney joinedStanger-Leathes. The two remained together till luncheon.After the interval Whinney was bowled directly and Temperleyleft one later. Prichard again came to the rescue, and thescore was raised to 43 before Stanger- Leathes was caught froma skier. De Rougemont enlivened proceedings considerablyfor a short period leaving at 61, having scored 14 out of the 17added during his stay. Winch and Prichard put on 31 beforeGeorge Hearne bowled the former, letting in Crawford. Withonly one run added Pricllard was bowled, having again playedan excellent innings, at a crisis of the game. Pinckney andCrawford hit hard for a term, the latter hitting a six (run out)to leg. After his dismissal Stennin~ helped to raise the score to128, when the innings closed, leaving the Club 85 to get to win.

Vernon Leese and W. F. Long opened the second inningsof the Club, but with only 13 scored the former was wellcaught by Partridge at cover-point. At 28 Westcott wascaught from a skier in the long-field, which was well taken byPinckney. A catch at third man disposed of Long two later.

IRg6.] The Shirburnian.

With 3 down for 30 the School seemed to have some chance,but Major Mackenzie and Leese quickly put the issue beyonda doubt. At 5CJ Stenning who had gone on for Martin got C.M. Leese caught at short slip. On Major Mackenzie beingjoined by his captain the runs were quickly hit off and theM.C.C. won the match by 6 wickets.

Though unsuccessful the school deserve great praise fortheir play. The fielding throughout was excellent, Whinneyand Partridge especially distinguishing themselves. In thebowling line Martin's six wickets for 46 in the first innings wasa very good performance-Prichard and Stenning bowled wellin the second innings of the Club.

SCHOOL v. OLD SHIRBURNIANS.

This annual match was played on the two days afterCommemoration, and resulted in an even draw. Whinneywonthe toss and sent in Partridge and Stanger- Leathes to face thebowling of G. M. Carey and Holberton. The latter frequentlypuzzled the batsmen and at 27 bowled Partridge for 11. Martindid not stay long, but Whinney knocked up 33 out of 45 for thethird ";vicket before being bowled by G. Partridge. Temperleyretired in the same over, but Rougemont gave a splendiddisplay of hitting and helped Stanger-Leathes to add 97.W. J. Kendall came on with lobs as a last resource, and gotRougemont stnmped for a dashing 50, including one five andseven fours. Shortly afterwards Stanger-Leathes, who hadbeen batting since the commencement of the innings, wasbowled for a grand score of 92; he hit one five, four fours, ninethrees, and twelve twos. Prichard quickly hit up 39 andCrawford 15, and the innings closed for 259. \"'1. J. Kendalltook four wickets for 46, and no one played his lobs with con­fidence.

Runs came freely, and though Rougemont andWhinney went on, the batsmen could not be parted till at 97Stevens was finely caught at the wicket on theleg-side for ahard hit 47. With Broadbent in, another stand was made, butat 157 Wyatt-Smith was splendidly caught at point at thesecond attempt, having been missed at the same spot two ballspreviously. The out-going batsman had played a very goodinnings of 87, and made few mistakes Carey made 18 beforebeing bowled by Prichard, and Broadbent left at 195 for a veryuseful 42. At this stage a great change came over the game,Prichard bowling in remarkable style. He accomplished the"hat trick," clean bowling Whitehead, Bensly, and Partridgewith successive balls. The innings, which had begun so well,terminated for 227, or 32 behind the School's total. Prichardtook 6 wickets for 86 runs.

\Vith a draw practically assured the School went in again,and by the drawing of stumps had run up 196 for 8 wicketsPartridge made 54-his highest score this season-in excellentstyle, but subsequently wickets fell fast till Crawford joinedWhinney, and these two put on 82 for the eighth wicket, bothplaying extremely well. vVhinney finally carried out his batfor 54, made without a mistake, and he was the only one toplay Kendall's lobs correctly-the latter this time took 3 wicketsfor 50, but Stevens ,vith 3 for 34 came out with the bestanalysis.

SCHOOL v. EMMANUEL COLLEGE, CAMBRIDGE.

This match was played on Tuesday, June 30th, and endedin a victory for the School by 119 runs. This crushing defeatwas due in a great measure to the perfectly disgraceful fieldingof the visitors. The School started well and went on doingbetter. Runs came slowly before luncheon, but after theinterval Whinney and Temperley enlivened affairs considerably,putting on 88 during their partnership. Temperley's 36included four fours and a five. Later on the opposing captainput on a lob bowler, who in his first over caught and bowledWhinney. The outgoing batsman had contributed 71 withouta chance. Amongst his hits were two fours and four threes.

SCHOOL v. SOUTH WILTS C.C.

LJULY,

This match, which came off on Saturday, July 4th, wascertainly one of the most interesting the School has ever played.The interest was maintained throughout, and the School hada hard fight with time to win the match.

Our opponents won the toss, and made a very fair start,one wicket being down at luncheon time for 32. Afterwards along stand was made by Audland and Newton, terminated at98 by Prichard who bowled Newton, with a fine ball.

After his dismissal no one stayed long with Audland whowas hitting hard all round. Maiden was out to a good catchat 122. Swinstead and Whitehead were both dismissed firstball, the former by Prichard, the latter by de Rougemont whohad gone on vice Martin at the National School end.

Finally with the score at 134 Audland's invaluable inningsclosed for 77. His batting though not quite faultless was dis­tinguished by clean and brilliant hitting and some excellentlytimed cuts. Without him our opponents would have indeedfared badly. Rigden was quickly bowled and the inningsclosed for 134.

Stanger-Leathes and Partridge were as usual the firstpair. In Morres' first over the latter scored a single, but oncrossing over to face Whitehead he was at once bowled.Martin came in but was sent back by the next delivery. In theface of this disastrous start the long stand between Whinneyand Stanger- Leathes was all the more meritorious. Whinneybegan to hit at once and Maiden appeared at the NationalSchool end. Several changes were tried but without effect andthe century was hoisted with the two still together. \Vith theaddition of nine more Whinney was well caught by Rigden froma skier over the bowler's head. His innings played at acritical part of the game was marred by a few uppish strokes anda difficult chance in the slips. His off-drives were especiallybrilliant. With time pressing de Rougemont adopted the policyof hitting at everything. He made one good hit, but wasdirectly after bowled off his pads. There was still new sensa­tion in store for Prichard was clean bowled first ball, andTemperley joined Stanger-Leathes. The score rose to withintwo of the required number when Stanger- Leathes was bowled;his 52 being quite the most useful of his many good innings thisyear.

With only a few minutes left to time Crawford joined

1896.J The Shirburnian.

Temperley who quickly put the matter beyond a doubt by asplendid hit for four. Just before time he was caught and bowledfor a very useful innings of 21. The School remained victoriousby 15 runs, with 3 wickets in hand.

SCHOOL v. BRADFIELD COLLEGE.

JULY,

On Friday and Saturday the tenth and eleventh of July,we played Bradfield on their ground. Whinney won the tossand Partridge and Stanger -Leathes started for the School bothplaying confidently. The score rose rapidly till Partridgesuccumbed to a good ball from Tapsfield. Martin was the nextcorner but did not stay long; at this point Whinney andRougemont got together, the latter hitting vigorously andWhinney batting in his best style, and the score rose to 100

before Rougemont left. Temperley then assisted VJhinney,who was soon afterwards bowled for a well played 61. Theremaining batsmen hit about the tired bowling and the inningsclosed for 248. Bradfield started rather badly for Warmanwas bowled almost immediately by a bumping ball which hit himfirst and then his wicket. In fact they did not do much betterafterwards, Sandbach and Goldsmid being the only ones to makeany stand against Prichard and Martin, who were bowling verywell. The innings closed for 108, Prichard taking 6 wicketsfor 53 and Martin 4 for 42. Bradfield followed on and made 36before de Rougemont took the first wicket, but at the close ofthe days play 3 wickets were down for 44.

The next day Pratt and La Trobe raised the score to 89before the latter gave a chance which was not taken, but thefielder threw the wicket down before he had time to return tohis wicket. After this Tapsfield, Nicholl and Barton battedwell, the latter falling to a splendid right handed catch byPinckney at short leg. Their innings closed for 173 and wewere left with 34 to win which we succeeded in making withthe loss of one wicket, thus winning by nine wickets

WILSON'S v. WILDMAN'S AND DAY BOYS.

[JULY,

\Vinning the toss, vVilson's started with Partridge andEglinton. By no means a good start was made, as Partridgewas soon bowled by Headlam. With Belfield in a longstand was made, and the score was raised to 53 before Eglintonwas caught at short leg for 25. Soon after, Belfield was caughtand bowled for a good innings of 4-7. Prichard played well for21, and Radcliffe enlivened the end of the innings by somegigantic skiers. The total finally reached 151. The DayBoys did fairly well and succeeded in saving the follow-on.Temperley, Douglas mi, and Garstin ma, all batting well. Theplay of the two former could scarcely be called lively, and musthave been the occasion of considerable annoyance to theiropponents. In the second innings Wilson's did better, Partridgeplaying a really brilliant innings, closed by a good catch in thelong field. Eglinton, Belford and Radcliffe all did well. TheDay Boys' bowling was taxed to the utmost-one performersending down five wides in one over. In the second inningsthe Day Boys were sent back for 109, Wilson's winning by '4-1runs. Douglas mi's innings was very very good indeed, andDouglas ma., too, batted well.

HODGSON'S v. SCHOOL HOUSE B,

This match was particularly remarkable for an innings of221, played by Whinney. He was in for nearly two days andamongst his hits were + fives, 21 fours, and 2+ threes. He did notgive a real chance till he had made over a hundred, and he wasmissed again just before the innings was declared closed. Apartfrom this his hitting ,,"as clean and brilliant, and he is to becongratulated on scoring the largest innings which has everbeen made on the School ground. \Vithout him Hodgson'swould have fared rather badly, and the fact that the inningsfinally reached -358 (for 9 wickets) speaks for itself. The School

House lost 6 wickets for 17. Then Jones and Ward improvedmatters a little, the former being out last for a really good 38.In their second venture the House did even worse. Jones,Kemp, Ward, and Ford contributed modest double-figures, butno one else did anything. Hodgson's won the match by aninnings and 193 runs.

This match proved to be a very close one, the interestbeing sustained throughout. The School House winning the

1896.1 The Shil'bltr11iall. 257

toss put together 177. Temperley scored 56 out of the fisrt 70runs, and then Legge and vVilson put on 65 for the fourthwicket. Blanch's quickly lost C. F. Stanger- Leathes, butMartin and Stanger- Leathes ma. raised the score to 56 for twowickets. Martin left at 85 for 31, and towards the end Crossand Green defied the bowling for a long time, Cross being notout for 3 T• The School House lost Temperley and Gamierwith the score at 6 only, but \Vilson and Falconer came to therescue .and raised the score to 48 before another wicket fell.The feature of the innings, however, was \Vatney's display.He showed velY good style, and scored rapidly, his cuts andleg-hits being very clean. The innings closed for 132, leavingBlanch's 157 to get.

C. F. Stanger-Leathes was caught at short-leg in the firstover, but Martin and Stanger- Leathes ma. looked like hittingoff the runs without further loss. At last, with the total at 75,Martin hit up a catch to point, and though Stanger- Leatheswas not dismissed till he had made 56 runs, by good hardhitting, Blanch's never again seemed winning. The collapse ofthe last wickets was remarkable, eight men scoring only nineruns between them. The School House won by 47 runs. Inthe first innings of Blanch's Langhome had a very goodanalysis, taking 7 wickets for 53 runs.

HODGSON'S v. SCHOOL HOUSE A.

Hodgson's again had the good fortune to win the toss, andthey made good use of the advantage. Their start, however,was not promising, Pinckney and Crawford going very soon.With Fletcher in runs came at a great pace; Whinney com­pleted his fifty and the score stood at 99 for two wickets, whenplay ceased for the day. Continuing next day Fletcher wasbowled directly after making fifty with a slow yorker.Rougemont was badly missed soon after he came in and hadgood luck in making 29. Whinney had latterly been scoringslowly, but he now completed his century. With only eightadded he was bowled by a very bad ball which hit the wicketon the third bound. With the exception of one difficult chancehis play was faultless, and he is to be congratulated on this hissecond century. \Vinch and Metcalfe brought the score up to250 when Whinney declared the innings closed.

The School House lost Falconer, Temperley, and Garnierat once, but later on vVatney made a good attempt to putthings on a better footing, and he was aided in his endeavoursby Wilson, Legge, Lee- Warner, and Bond ma. Following onvVatney wa" out at once-but Temperley hit hard, and seemedto be going to make a long score when he fell to a catch atIlIid-on. 'But the feature of the innings was Legge's hittingand his innings was a good attempt to save the innings defeat.Lee- \7\Tarner, Bond ma., and Langhorne all batted well, the

Whinney's slows, but with Belfield in, runs came at a greatpace, and the score rose to 40 before the last corner returned aball to De Rougemont. Partridge retlred first ball, a greatdisaster to \Vilson's. When Park joined his captain thingsbegan to look better, and thanks to the exertions of these twoHodgson's total was ultimately passed, and when their venturewas at an end, \Vilson's were 15 runs to the good.

Hodgson's wiped off the deficit without loss, but when thetotal stood at 27 Whinney was well caught at point. Crawforddid not give much trouble, and Pinckney left soon after, butDe Rougemont again came to the rescue, and aided by Fletcherput on runs at a great pace. When De Pass had dismissedthem both, a long stand followed between Winch and Metcalfe,who, howev6r, were rather lucky in being let off once or twicein the field. Finally at 140 a skier from Winch was well takenat mid-off, and MetcaIfe who had crossed over hit the next ballhard and straight to Prichard. The remaining wickets fell inrapid succession, Hext taking five for one run, and the inningsclosed for 150, leaving Wilson's 136 to get to win.

A good start was made by Park and Eglinton, and thetotal stood at 27 before the former was bowled. Prichardjoined Eglinton, and affairs seemed to be going well forWilson's when De Rougemont bowled Eglinton with a' yorker.'Partridge again failed to come off, and after this no one didmuch to aid the grand efforts of Prichard. The innings closedfor 101, leaving Hodgson's victorious by 34 runs. Too muchcan hardly be said in praise of Prichard's two innings, and thebowling of De Pass and Hext is also worthy of notice. For thewinners De Rougemont in the second innings took 8 wicketsfor 36, and in batting too he did the most for his side. Neitherside fielded very well, and several catches were missed-buthowever this may be we never wish to see a more keenly-con­tested and exciting Final.

SCHOOL HOUSE B. v. BLANCH'S.

This match ended in a victory for the School House by 75runs. The School House won the toss and put to together 106,Ford scoring 48. Blanch's replied with 76 of which Crapperwas responsible for 43. In the second innings the School Housewere dismissed for 101, \Vard being highest score with 38; butBlanch's failed to make the requisite number and being aJI outfor 56, lost the game as before stated.

The Shil'burlliall. [JULY,

SCHOOL HOUSE A v. WILDMAN'S AND DAY BOYS.

The second]unior match ended like the first in a victoryfor the School House, but by a rather larger margin. The DayBoys won the toss, but except Brown (29) they could makenothing of the School House bowling and were all out for 54.The House quickly lost two wickets, but Bond mi. (23), andLee- Warner ma. (28) came to the rescue, and the score ulti­mately reached 92. The Day Boys succeeded in saving thefollow-on, Brown (22) again being the chief scorer. TheSchool House had 15 to make, and after losing one wicket,Staley and Bond ma. quickly hit off the runs. One of the fea­tures of the match was the bowling of Clarke (slow left hand),who took seven wickets for 30.

HODGSON'S v. WILSON'S.

With everything in their favour Hodgson's won easily byten wickets. Batting first they put together a very respectabletotal of which Murray was responsible for 44 and Buckmasterfor 55. Towards the end the batsmen were greatly aided bythe wet wicket and the greasy state of the ball. It seemsrather short-sighted that with all conditions favourable formaking a good start Wilson's refused to bat that night.vVilson's first innings was a complete failure, chiefly owing tothe bowling of Rickman, Dawson, ma. (22) alone batting well.Following on they did better, Hext hitting hard for 46 andCheatle for 28. They just succeeded in saving the follow on,and left Hodgson's 3 to get to win. This was done in one ball,and Hodgson's won the game by 10 wickets.

SEl\II-FINAL.

HODGSON'S v SCHOOL HOUSE A.

Again Hodgson's were fortunate in winning the toss, anadvantage which they used well by scoring 157. Dawson hithard for 23, as did Buckmaster for 29. But by far the bestinnings was that of Warren mi. who played really well for 30.

r896.J The Shi1'bttrnian.

Towards the close Cooper (20) and Woodward hit resolutely,The School House first innings threatened to become a mereprocession, two wickets being down without a run being scored.Bond ma. (20) and Lee- Warner put things in a better condition,but after them with the exception of Pick (17) no one did any­thing and the side were all out for 57. Following on the SchoolHouse only improved slightly on the first venture, being all dis­missed for 69, of which Bond ma. made 17 and White 23.Hodgson's won by an innings and 31 runs. Shawand Rickmanmust be congratulated on their success with the ball.

FINAL.

SCHOOL HOUSE B v. HODGSON'S.

Deprived of the advantage of winning the toss, Hodgson'swere easily beaten by 10 wickets. Batting first the SchoolHouse put together 134. Hodgson's fielded badly and threwaway a great many chances. Ward and Gregorie were theprincipal scorers, though the latter had a good deal of luck;\Vrightson and Smyth too played well. Rickman's bowlinganalysis was eight for 59. Against the bowling of Ley mi.,Gregorie and Smyth, Hodgson's could do nothing, all being outfor 47. Following on they did better, Warren mi., Dawson andRickman all playing well. Their total ultimately reached 103,leaving the School House 17 to get to win, a deficit which theywiped off without loss. Gregorie took 6 wickets for 24 runs,and Ley mi. nine for 72, both very good performances: TheSchool House fielded well throughout, and no catches weremissed. Full score:-

An unsuccessful shooting season has been indeed crownedby unlooked-for good fortune. On Thursday, July 16th,Shaw (1) and Fletcher (a) represented Sherborne in the compe­tition for the Cadets' Trophy, open to all under seventeenyears of age. Shaw's remarkable score needs no comment

here, for figures speak for themselves.

On Monday, July 20, Col. Tweedie, D.S.O., Commandingthe 39th Regimental District, inspected the School CadetCorps and "G" Company (Town Volunteers). The resultwas very satisfactory to the Cadet Corps authorities, and wehear from competent Judges that the drill has never beensmarter.

Before closing we should like to express our regret that theCorps will be deprived of two valuable members in Temperleyand de Rougemont-we can only hope that efficient substituteswill be found to fill the places they vacate. Several mem bersof the Shooting VIII will be with us next year, and aided byDean, who has filled the arduous position of Captain this term,Shaw, and Fletcher, we should make a good show at Bisley

next year.

CORRESPONDEK CE.

DEAR :\IR. EDITOR,

1light I be allowed to enquire through your valuable columns, whyMathematics are added in to the so-called Classical order. The prize is givenfor Classics, not for Classics with the addition of :\Iathematics, Modern

Languages and Science. The interest in work disappears when one knowsthat one must come down when Mathematics are added. Some very notice­able instances ha\'e happened just lately in the .Upper School. Some boys

get promoted entirely for their Mathematics, which seems very unfair when

26g The Shirbul'1lialZ. [JULY,

promotions are said to be given for one's Classical work. Others sink down in

their form owing to Mathematics, and although they may in Classical work

be worth a higher form are kept back for Mathematics. Some boys gain bythis but most lose, and taking it all together it seems a very unfair way for aClassical School.

Faithfully yours,

A NON-MATHEMATICIAN.

DEAR MR. EDITOR,

Might I be allowed to make one small suggestion with regard to thefurniture of our beautiful Schoolroom. On Commemoration Day I heardmany a murmur among our guests-and not least among the fair sex-onaccount of the excessive hardness of the oak benches on which they had tosit. Surely it is a pity that while aiming at perfect beauty in this lovely hall,personal comfort should be allowed rather to slip into the background. I

propose that when any function is going to take place in the Schoolroom, thebenches should be covered with mats, similar to those which now adorn theVIth form Class room, but of a dark green colour. The general effect would

I am sure be excellent, and the comfort of those who have to sit on them,would be assured. At present I am afraid that the pleasure given by theconcerts or " speeches" is to no small amount counter-balanced by a bodily

pain, which must, perforce, be borne in silence.

Hoping that this suggestion may be of some use,

Believe me,

Yours very sincerely,

A LOVER OF COMFORT.

DEAR SIR,

During the course of my career in this School nothing has distressed memore than the annual squabbles which go on over our House Matches.'Would it not be much better to put these valuable (?) prizes in the Museumthan to be constantly quarrelling over them? During the Easter Term thelife of the Captain of the Games is made a perfect burden to him. Donors ofCups write to him and tell him, or as good as tell him, that the present

arrangements are not fair. This might be all right iianybody knew what the" present arrangements" were. Every Easter Term the School House Junior

1896J. The Shirburnian. 269

XV. has played in a different way-sometimes as an ordinary House, thenagainst the Three Cock Houses, then against Two Cock Houses. I here askwhy on earth different arrangements are made every Easter Term? 'Whycannot some definite rule be established? I should be loath to consider that

different arrangements were made every time the School House happened tobe strong. No one would complain if there was some settled rule, and thenthe School House would take its chance like any other House.

Again, in connection with Cricket and the Rifle Corps we have conten­tions and strifes. An arrangement about the cricket, of which the Captain ofthe Games was not the author, has been come to this year, manifestly unfair

to Mr. Blanch's House, and giving an undue advantage to the School Houseand Mr. Hodgson's House. The last scandal we come upon is this :-AHouse tries to scratch the drill competitions (under the advice of someone not even in the Rifle Corps, and having nothing whatever to do with it)because they did not consider themselves in a position to be successful.

Now such a spirit is utterly adverse to any united action in the School.It is a spirit of .. House" and not of "School." And for this persons in

authority are responsible, persons who should know better than to put.. House" before" School:' Hoping to see consistency and independence in

all actions of the Games Committee,

I remain,

Yours very respectfully,

(S) (T) (N) (1~.

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS.

A NON-MATHEMATICIAN.-"\Vhen the time comes for you to get through.' Smalls" or the "Littlego" you ,\ill perhaps realise that a slightknowledge of :\Iathematics may be of some importance. At the sametime it is rather hard that a boy who is good at Classics should not gainpromotion because he is bad at Mathematics, for there is very littledifference, if any, between the mathematical standards of any two formsin the School.

A LOVER OF COMFORT.-I hope that your suggestion will soon becomplied with. At the Concert which wiII come off at the end of thisterm you may perhaps see the improvements which you suggest.

SIXTH FORM.-What, indeed ?-but I do not think we can give you anyhelp in the matter, unless you are more explicit.
