very good, Wyllie and Opie both holding fine catches. To dismiss the side for 53 runs was a meritorious performance. Opie was batting well when he had the misfortune to back into his wicket and Collett I was well caught at midfoff. Beckton chose the wrong one to hit atg but Stephenson, oblivious of what ball should be hit and what should be played, hit everything that came his way and made a courageous effort, excellently supported by Dalziel. VKitson batted well and was unfortunate to be run out by a straight throwfin. ALBIONS THE SCHOOL Freeman i.i...... b Collett II ............

An experiment was tried in this match which answered well. Beckton gave up the wicket for the first time in two years and gave the gloves to Stanley who justified his selection by letting only two byes, though his handling of the ball was not as good as Beckton's. Beckton bowled well and took five wickets for fifteen runs. The School fielding was not up to the usual standard and the batting, except Wyllie's, was poor.

THE SCHOOL vs. SI-IAXVNIGAN LAKE SCHOOL The first match of the season was played on May 6 on the home ground in perfect weather. Owing to the fact that two of the first weeks of the term were devoted to Cadet work for the Inspecf tion, the School was short of practice. The team was further weakened by the absence of Carle who was on crutches and unable to play. Beckton lost the toss and Shawnigan elected to bat first. The two Colletts opened the bowling. Ling, batting for Shawnigan, had the misfortune to slip while making a run and was run out. Everest went in front of a swinging ball from Collett II and prospects began to look good for the School. From then on, however, the bowling lost all sting and the fielding became very poor with many wild throwfins. Macdonald and Edmunds found everything very much to their liking and the former was not out at the close for an excellently played 54. Macdonald declared the Shawnigan innings closed at 109 for 7. ' Upie and Collett I opened for the School and the latter was run out almost immediately. Beckton was batting with confidence, but did not stay long. Stephenson hit a few and was then brilliantly caught by the wicketfkeeper. None of the other batsmen made any impression on the bowling of Ling and Macdonald, with the excepf tion of Qpie who played a courageous and patient innings, being eighth man out: his calling and his running left much to be desired, but these are faults which time will correct.

C. The game was played on the School ground on May 13th. Beckton won the toss and elected to field. Collett II opened the bowling and, keeping an excellent length throughout, came out with the fine analysis of six for twelve in seven overs. A judicious change by Beckton gave Morant a chance to take two wickets. The bowling at the other end was poor, as neither Dalziel nor Collett I could find a length. The fielding was 23

THE SCHOOL vs. OAK BAY The match was played on the School ground on june 9th. Collett I bowled well for the School and West for O.B.H.S. The batting on both sides was miserably poor, except for Collett I and Wyllie. THE SCHOOL O.B.H.S.

Brentwood batted first and scored 103 with great ease: their batting was vigorous which severely punished a series of slow longf hops from Collett I and Dalziel. Collett II was unable to do any' thing worthwhile with the ball. There were nine byes and three wides. The School batsmen appeared to be giving Brentwood catching practice: Beckton hit three 4's and a 3 and Wyllie batted with some style: otherwise it was a dismal procession.
