When one considers that this small amount includes the offertories on Speech Day and Confirmation Sunday as well as the contribu- tions every Sunday of the Masters, we are almost ashamed to publish the statement Our Chapel in old days was the most beauti- ful in Canada, a fitting building for the centre of our School life. Surely out of the abun- dance which some of us have a little might be set aside for nohler uses ! Why not re-establish the envelope system ? A small sum given regularly every Sunday would soon mount up, and even if we felt the loss of it, it would be a small struggle against the over- whelming selfishness of to-day, and might not our physical condition be benefited as well? We congratulate Mr. Coombs on a suc- cessful concert given by the Town Madrigal Society, of which he is Conductor. During his years here the Choir has shown mark- ed improvement, and we sometimes wonder whether the members realize that they are re- ceiving valuable instru ction in reading, part singing and voice culture in return for efforts which make but a small demand on their time. Our Choir has always been a feature of T. C. S. and we must preserve it so. This term the services have been a pleasure to listen to, specially the anthems Turn Thy l ' ace From My Sins, and Lord for Thy Tender Mercies ' Sake: and Dyke ' s Te Deum in F, and Woodward ' s Magnificat, and Nunc Dimittis ' in E Flat, which are fair specimens of the music sung in Chapel. We cannot close this briel notice without mentioning the faithful services of A. G. Ram.say (will his voice ever break ? We hope not), G. T. Hamilton, L. M. Rathbun, S. R. Saunders, R. J. Maclaren and F. W. B. Ridont. May we make one suggestion tothe School ? That they join more heartily in the hymns and re.spon.ses. TRINITY COLLEGE LETTER. To the Editor of the Tkinitv Colleoe School Record. Mv Dear Sir, — In beginning this first of Trinity letters, we wish to extend our warmest wishes for the complete success of the Trinity College School Record. Theidea of again establishing a school paper has been met with much fiivour by the Old Boys, who, though separated by distance or circum- stance still retain a warm corner in their hearts for T. C. S. and its members. The School is well represented here in the faculty and in the undergraduate element of the College. The Reverend Edward C. Cayley, second professor in divinity, among his many duties still shows a strong interest in the School, and carries into his work here the s ime en- thusiasm that he then evinced. . lr. Michael Mackenzie, professor of mathematics, a son of the School, of Trinity College and later of Cambridge, has the personal interest of every man at heart and his painstaking efforts are well known and ap- preciated among you as well as among our- selves. Mr. W. H. White, fellow and lec- turer in classics and Mr. H. H. Bedford Jones, fellow and lecturer in theology, are also Old Boys represented in the faculty. Among the divinity students are C. A. Heiven, who occupies the positions of treasurer of the athletic association and ist Vice-president of the Lit. Institute Council. F. Kirkpatrick, of Kingston, an old boy of some years ago, having practised law for three years, has relinquished that profession and is now studying for the Church. L. W. B. Broughall secured the Jubilee scholarship in classics ; he is the secretary of the athletic

TRINITY COLLEGK SCHOOL RI ' CORI). Although stale news to many, the Trinity College Scliool Rovers ' tour of 1S97 well deserves mention in the Rkcokd, not only to insure the scores being preserveti, hut also to chronicle perhaps the most brilliant jjerfor- mance representative of school cricket. The team was an exceptionally strong one and contained almost the full available strength of past and present. Six inatchesinall were played, five won easily and the draw against London was i)ractically the same. So high was the scoring throughout, that the Rovers in only two matches completed their innings. The record of the tour in this res- pect has no parallel in Canadian cricket, the average of runs per wicket for the Rovers ' tour throughout being 22.7, while that of the opposing teams was S. 2. It is only fair to state that the weather and wickets favoured high scoring, but it must also be considered that the opposing Clubs were amongst the very best in Ontario. The last tour was famous for the century of A. C. Allan. The tour of ' 97 boasted two, Cooper 118 not out and Saunders 101 (re- tired), not mentioning the narrow margin of three runs which prevented Alexis Martin in the London match being in the same class. Of the three, Saunders ' score was [jrobably the best yerformance as the bowling and fieldmg opposed to him were of much higher class than that of London. The wickets at Hamilton, London and Chatham deserve special mention being all that could have been desired. The success of the tour was not confined only to the field of play for it was most enjoy- able to the members of tlie team in every way from start to finish. Thanks to the tire- less energy and the unfailing good nature of Mr. Watson the difficulties of tickets, luggage, transportation and hotels never bothered the travellers and at the end of the tour at Wind- sor they expressed to him their apjireciation of how much of the pleasure of the tour was due to his efforts. 1) R.

It was a most creditable exhibition and one of great inter- est, particularly to those who have been here sometime and recognized old faces among the groups. Mr. Williamson gave us a very interesting magic lantern show, which con- tained pictures of England, Scotland and France. ' The success of the entertainment was due to the energy of Mr. Collinson, and we hope it may become an annual event. ' I ' he prize for the best collection was awarded to Ridout. R W.

THE CRICKET CLUB. The meeting of the Cricket Club was held on March 29th. With the limited space at our disposal, and considering the amount of cricket that finds a place in this number, we have thought it well not to publish the averages which really belong to the past school year and have appeared in the daily papers. The prospects for 1898 are very fair. Dug- gan is Captain and s!iould get a lot of runs and be well backed up by Saunders, Patter- son and Reid. The bowling promises to be better than last year; Hindes and Saunders will be our mainstays, and Hammond and one or two others shape well There are two candidates for tl.e wickets, and among the youngsters several very |)r( !nising cricketers. But we must work harder at the nets and in practise than last year. {juX every one, no matter who he is or on what crease, make it a personal matter to see that our xi is good, by doing his best himself Read Saunders ' letter everybody, read it and mark it well. Let us play the game in its true spirit, not merely to win — that is pleasant we all know, but a very secondary consideration— but (or itself and for true love of sport and with all our might, For, as the old song truly says, Cricket is a noble game. ®lt) 360 6 ' (lolmun.

A. in ' 95 and always showed a deep interest in all matters concerning the School. Frank }. Morgan ( ' 8 - ' 91 and ' 93- ' 94) died at Cleveland on February 26lh of consumption. To the last he spoke in most affectionate terms both of the School and of the Headmaster : it would be hard to find a more loyal old boy than Morgan shewed him- self Charles Gamon ( 77 - ' 79) was drowned in Collingwood Harbour last December, and his body was only recovered on March i8th.
