Altogether, though only winning one match, the team seems to have put up a good show in the real homes of cricket. We have not mentioned individual achievements of other than our own representatives, but our friends at Upper Canada and elsewhere have their own records of fine innings and good bowling. All members of the team gave their best, and all enjoyed personal success in one game or another. The team travelled mostly by bus. They comment that the busses were very comfortable, the drivers excellent and the country delightful, though the roads in England seem very narrow and winding. At every school visited the Canadians were given a great reception, with everything done to make their stay enjoyable. They seem to have repaid this by doing their best to educate their English friends in Canadian ways. In spite of Magee's efforts they stuck to their Canadian speech, and even succeeded in teaching some of the vocabulary to Harrow. There is a statement that Harrovians began to call to their Headmaster to scram, but no doubt that is apocryphal. It was not always language. At the Leys, for instance, the teaching was social history, and the Leysians are re- ported to be very interested in the way T.C.S. boys some- times have to seize rifles from the Armoury to repel Indian raids.

10 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD Between matches the team did a good deal of sight- seeing, in places of historical interest such as Winchester, Cambridge, and Hampton Court, and especially in London, which was naturally their headquarters during the tour. They were guests at various functions arranged for their visit. A luncheon was given to inaugurate the tour by Mr. P. Ashley Cooper, Governor of the Hudson's Bay Company. The speakers were Mr. Cooper, Sir Stanley Jackson, Major Ney, Lord Tweedsmuir, Governor-General designate of Canada, and the captain of the team, Clay- ton Fuller of U.C.C. There were many other distinguished guests at this luncheon, including the Hon. G. Howard Ferguson, Lord Stanley, the Rt. Hon. L. S. Amery, Mr. G. O. Allen, Sir Walter Lawrence and Mr. H. D. G. Leveson- Gower. Photographs of this luncheon party were later presented to all members of the team by Mr. Ferguson. As guests of the Roehampton Polo Club, the visitors enjoyed polo and swimming. The Lawn Tennis Association gave them a splendid day at Wimbledon, where they were thrilled by the magnificent tennis in the Davis Cup match- es. The M.C.C. invited them to Lord's for luncheon and tea one day of the Gentlemen V. Players match, here the cricket was very interesting in spite of interruptions by rain, the bowling especially, and Leyland's batting, being the features which most impressed our players. At Buckingham Palace, in company with several hundred members of other Canadian tours, the visitors had the great honour of a few words of welcome from His Majesty the King. From a favoured position within the grounds they watched the ceremony of the Changing of the Guard. On the invitation of Lord Stanley, M.P., the team paid a visit to the Houses of Parliament, where they had tea on the Terrace. Lady Astor and Sir John Simon joined the tea-party. Afterwards they attended a debate in the House of Commons.
