Cogswell, Sussex. Dear Uncle Alfred. I am in a desperate position. A lecture has been sprung upon me, and I have got to give it very shortly and it is to be about VVater-power. There seems to be very few books on the subject and even if I had them I would be unable to decide which to include in the lecture. Do you think you can tell me all you know on the subject l I l? I am going back to school to-day and the lecture is very soon. If you are able to write any of it down fairly soon, please will you send it to XY. H. Smith, School House. Fotheringhams. Bruncastle. Gloucestershire, Sussex, England tetc.l If you cannot do it soon please do not bother about it at all because the lecture will be over. XYith lots of love from Billy. Apparently we are not the only ones who have difficulties about speeches l-Ed.

-Q Ellie Aulihurian l Qlrirkrt lst XI Colours :- T. XY. Beauclerk 4capt.f. G. D. Stanfield tvice-capt. 1. A Powell, G. Hyman, H. A. Cowans. bl. B. Kirkpatrick. The season was quite a successful one and at one time it seemed as if we might win the Ottawa Yalley Cricket Council Cup. but the crucialgame against Defence was lost by a small margin and we failed to repeat our success of 1929. We beat Lower Can- ada College fairly easily but had to bow to Bishop's College School. in spite of a century by Hyman, the first ever scored for Ashbury in a school game. The Old Boys' game was ruined by the weather as not a ball could be bowled. CRICKET CHARACTERS 1934 T. XY. Beauclerk. Captain. -lth year on the team. An untiring cap- tain who always gave of his best. A natural forcing batsman who was handicapped by faulty footwork. Inclined to be rather careless. Developed considerably as a lob bowler with a facility for getting wickets when they were wanted. Safe catch and good in the field, though inclined at times to be too strong with his returns. G. D. Stanfield, Vice-Captain. 3rd year on the team. A stubborn batsman who was hard to dislodge, but possessed of consider- able hitting powers. A stiffness in the shoulders prevented a really straight swing. Safe catch and a good field. A. Powell. Znd year on the team. Possessed an excellent eye and was a fairly consistent scorer, but will never develop as he should until he learns to use his feet. A sound medium paced bowler who could always be relied upon to keep a length. A good field and a safe catch. G. Hyman. 3rd year on the team. XYas the most prolific scorer on the side. Has some excellent off shots, which he has the gift of timing well and was always ready to attack the bowl- ing. If he could remember not to draw away from balls on the leg Stump he should develop into a highly useful batsman. Sound field and steady change bowler. H. A. Cowans. 2nd year on the team. iYas the soundest bat in the side. He developed into a most dependable player by sheer hard work. Had a good off drive and pulled anything short of a length with accuracy and power. An excellent slip fields- man. Should pay attention to his bowling. J. B. Kirkpatrick. 2nd year on the team. A much improved medium paced bowler who always kept a length. XYas dogged
