TRIM TV COLLl ' Cil-. SCHOOL Ki:(()kl). 2 I driclK ' t. T. C. V8. Mr. Watson ' s xl. The first match of the season was playcil on Saturtlay, May 21st, against an eleven u{ Mr. Watson ' s, endiii}; in a clefe.it for the School by 47 runs. No liouht this is an in- auspicious beginning, f r the opposing team could hardly lie called very strong I ' here are several points to which we w ish to call attention. First olall, fielding ; as a whole it was good, and our visitors spoke well of it, but there were some lamentable misses that looked almost like shuhtess. .As it was the first match we mention no names, but we do wish to impress on every boy in the School that our fielding must be of the best, and that it will be a most im|)ortant factor in our games this year. The fielders were placed fair- ly Well, but there seems to be a great disin- clination to put them tar enough out. Remember that as a rule our opponents are harder hitlers than we are, and a man can run forward for a ball where it is almost im- possible to run back. The bowling was straight and fairly good, and improved in the second innings, the chief faults l)eing that the balls were too short at one end and that there were too many full pitchers from the other. An occasional short-pitched ball may work, but it is the first duty of a bowler to keep a good length, and above all he must use his head, and remem- ber that there are ten men waiting to assist him, of whom he must make use. To do this he ought to watch carefully where his balls are hit, and place his men accordingly. But above all he must carefully study the baisman, and try to find his weak points, and not put down the same lull over after over, foi as the Prince says, this is merely bowling your man in. ' ' Remember that a fast yorker, even a full pitch, is a difficult ball for a b. is- nian to play whenhecomesin first,andalso that a change of pace is most important, and often ge:s a wicket. Cricket must be played with brains, and the best bowler will be the one who uses his brains most Now for the batting ; that was the most lamentable display. There seemed to be an entire absence of life in the batting and with the exception of two or three, nobody made any attempt to play the bowling. ' I ' hree luiys were bowled by sU)w hill pitchers, and no less than four lost their wickets by ni( st deliberate ntteni]jts 10 pull well pitched straight balls. A number ff loo.se balls were bowled and a great many were well off the wicket on the oflside, but no attempt was made t(» score off them, hey were either severely left alone or treateu v nh a respect worthy of a really gcKjd bal ' , (a T ' spect, by the way, which seemed to be re- scrvetl for the bad ones, th e good never commanded it). The most a|)[)arent weakness showed itself in the forward play, which was generally a half-hearted stroke. This forward play must be most carefully practised at the nets, and it is especially neces ary to learn to get the left foot over tf) a ball wide of the wicket on the oflside. The movement of foot, body and bat si ' ould be simultaneous, and the bat at the moment of contact with the ball should by at an acute angle with the ground, which will prevent the ball going up. ' I ' o do this it is necessary that both the left shoulder and elbow be kept well over, in a line with the opposite wicket, and the knees must not be bent and the right shoulder must not droop. The batsman must be careful not to over- reajch himself, otherwise he will make a feeble uppish stroke and [irobably drag his toe over the popping crease and be stumped. Another fault is the inability to score behind the wicket. This must be overcome, for few strokes tell so much, especially off a fast bowler on a hard ground, as a cut behind point, and few give the batsman so little effort. Again, in playing a short-pitched ball it is no use to play a halfhearted for- ward stroke ; tl ere is plenty of time to watch the ball and it may well be pulled, or at any rate the batsmen can play back to it. ' I ' hese are some of the points which most attracted our attention and we hope to see them looked after. There is good material in the xi and we have no doubt that everybody will work his hardest : a few defeat are of small account if itiey teach us our faults and we take the opportunities of amending them.

20 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECv.. Mr. Sbortt ' s Lecture. A nio.st interesting lecture was given on May 1 6th by Rev ' d. C H. Shortt on the Trinity Mission to Japan. The lecturer hriclly sketched the eventful history of the last 30 years and the marvellous change which they have wrought in the Empire. He very aptly compared Japan to our own Mother (Jountry, and pointed out how neces- sary it is to put into the field and maintain a well equipped band of missionaries while the Japanese are willing to be taught by Europeans and the dc or is still open to foreigners. More than that, the Japanese, he said, were almost the only means and certainly the best, of reaching the millions of Chinese because, though differing widely from them, they are still of the same family. One point which the lecturer made impressed us strongly, the impossibility of coping with the forces of Buddhism and Shintoism, which have been entrenched for ages in Japan, unless our missionaries have liberal support. U ' e cannot hope to draw the people from the stately temples that rise in every direction to a poor hovel of mud and paper; and surely the I ' .uddhist may well retort that, if the Xtianity preached by the missionaries is real, those who send thi-m will see to it that the temple of that which thev preach to be the true and only religion will be at least as worthy as that of the belief which they denounce. His plea that what is Trinity ' s work must also be ours will meet, we hope, with a willing and liberal response ; all the more so when we remember that we have a peculiar interest in Japan because Mr. Lloyd, Mrs. Rowe, Kakuzen and Ken- nedy, who are working there, all belong, so to speak, to T. C. S. The sermon on Speech Day will be preached by Rev. Prof. Roper of the General Theological Seminary, New York. Many of us know Prof. Roi)er personally, and such a warm friend of the School will be heartily welcomed. We have great pleasure in ofTcr- ing him our sincere congratulations on the degree of D. D. which has been conferred on him by the Seminar . tin- Head Master rc.nd a paper on The Rise and Progress of Entomology in Canatia. He was unanimously elected Vice-President ol Section IV — (ieologlcal and liiological Sciences: — for the ensuing year. The Rev, Professor Clark, of Trinity Uni- versity, ' I ' oronto, a member of the Governing Body, was elected Vice-President of the whole Society, as well as of Section ii — English Literature, History, Archaelogy, etc. He will, no doubt, in accordance with cus- tom, become President of the Society in the year 1900, the most distinguished honour that can be conferred in this country upon those who are eminent in literature ' or science. Tlie fo lowing boys are taking the various Examinations this year : Trinity University — C. E. Duggan, F. W. Rolph. McGill University — H. (t lirunton, E. A. Hammond, H. Votherspoon. R. M. C— G. T. HamiUon, C. T. Jen- nings, R. J. McLaren, H. F. Osier, F. W. B. Ridout. The Examiners this year are : — Classics — Rev. J. S. Broughall, M. A. Divinity — Rev. Herbert Symonds, M. A. Mathematics — C. H. McGreedy, M. A. and V R Hitchens, Esq., M. A. Eiiglish— W. R. Hitchins, Esq. M. A. At the Annual meeting of the Royal So- ciety of Canada held in Ottawa, May 25-27, Several Old Boys have come down lately on visiting elevens, and given us the pleasure of welcoming them to the Old School. Myles Hamilton came down to play for Mr. Watson ' s xi ; and on the Toronto-Rosedale xi there were H. W. Beatty { ' So ' Sj), P. E Henderson ( ' 92- ' 95) and H. Morris ( ' 88-93) all four having played on the School xi in previous years. By the way we must con- gratulate Henderson on being elected to a place on the Committee of the R. T. C. C, We have very great pleasure in congratulat- ing Mr. M. J. C. Meiklejohn, a master from 1 889-1 890, on his engagement and wish him every happiness. Since he has left us .Mr. Meiklejohn has been granted the dis- tinguished honour of F. R. G. S. and has been lately published several geographical manuals which have received high praise from educational and other journals.

The match with Rosedale has been a fix- ture for many years now and is always one to which we look forward. This year the match was against the newly united clubs, to whom we wish the very best of success. The game does not call for much comment. The play of the xi showed a decided improvement. Hammond batted well and received fair support from Patterson, Hindes and Reid. Hindes as usual bowled well and did the hat trick and Patterson ' s fielding was very good. McMurtry ' s 43 was an excellent innings and gave the boys a good object lesson. Mont- gomery ' s bowling was very deadly. TORONTO-ROSEDALE C. C. A. Mackenzie, c. Rathbun, b. Hindes .... i P. E.
