Monday, June 13th. Caius II gained gradually on our Second Boat and at Ditton were a quarter-of-a-length away; here our men spurted most pluckily and managed to keep away until Morley's Holt, when they were bumped.

The First Boat began to gain on Emmanuel at once, but after about half-a-minute's rowing they became very unsteady and did not increase their advantage until Grassy, where Hill, by taking a splendid corner, made up a good length, and the boat beginning at last to settle down rushed up and secured the bump at Ditton.

Tuesday, June 14th. The Second Boat was caught by Trinity III just round Ditton.

The First Boat was disappointed of its bump by Pembroke succumbing to Hall II in the Long Reach, when we were about half-a-length behind.

At a General Meeting held on June 15th, the following officers were elected for next term:-First Captain-H. C. Langley. Second Captain-A. E. Buchanan. First Lent Captain-H. E. Knight. Second Lent Captain-A. G. Butler. Hon. Secretary A. P. Cameron. Hon. Treasurer-W. Mc Dougall. Additional Captains-A. J. Davis, G. Blair, W. A. Lamb.

CRICKET CLUB.

Captain F. J. Nicholls. Secretary-J. J. Robinson. Treasurer-F. L. Thompson, M.A. Committee-A. E. Elliott, T. L. Jackson, C. Moore,

G. R. Joyce.

We have been very unfortunate this year in never being able to put a full team into the field. Our record of 2 matches won, 6 lost, and 14 drawn is not so bad as would seem at first sight, as on three occasions at least time only deprived us of victory.

Six members of last year's team were available-F. J. Nicholls, A. E. Elliott, C. Moore, J. J. Robinson, G. R. Joyce, and W. G. Wrangham. Those who have received their colours this year are-B. Long, F. Dewsbury, G. P. K. Winlaw, C. O. S. Hatton, H. A. Merriman, and W. H. Skene.

We regret that the name of Mr F. L. Thompson, the Treasurer of the Club, was omitted from the list of officers given in the last Eagle.

The Eleven.

F. J. Nicholls-Good bat with some defence. Fair bowler and good field. Unable to play much owing to Tripos work.

J. J. Robinson-Our most reliable bowler and bat. Scores fast all round the wicket. Good field, but cannot throw. Also had a Tripos, luckily early in the term.

A. E. Elliott-Steady bat with stubborn defence. Fair field and bowler. C. Moore-Had a Tripos on, so was able to play only very little. Fair wicket-keep.

G. R. Joyce-Fair bat and field; cannot bowl.

W. G. Wrangham-Very much improved all round. Powerful hitter, and very safe catch in the country.

B. Long-Only started playing quite late in the term, but then scored most consistently; a fair bat with a pretty late cut; fair field.

G. P. K. Winlaw-Also a very consistent bat. His fielding was rather disappointing, as he started the season brilliantly. Fair slow bowler.

F. Dewsbury-Started the season well in batting, but fell off later. Good field at point; and fair change bowler with a good full pitch to leg. C. O. S. Hatton-Most disappointing as a bowler; good bat on a slow wicket, and safe field.

H. A. Merriman-Fair bat with a clean forward stroke; moderate slow bowler and good field.

W. H. Skene-Very steady bat, with a unique leg-stroke. Very keen in the field.

President-W. F. Smith, M.A. Captain-P. F. Barton. Hon. SecretaryW. J. S. Bythell. Hon. Treasurer-J. Lupton. Committee-St J. B. WynneWillson, F. D. Hessey.

Although we had only one old colour man up this term we had a fairly successful season. Our record in college matches was 9 wins and 7 losses. We beat Corpus (2), King's (2), Jesus, Clare, Pembroke, Christ's, and Selwyn; and lost to Trinity (2); Mayflies (2), Caius, Pembroke, and Emmanuel. We had also a very pleasant game at St Ives, which resulted in our defeat by 6 to 5. Five matches were cancelled through rain and other

causes.

Colours have been given to J. Lupton, C. H. Blomfield, W. J. S. Bythell, F. Villy, and F. D. Hessey.

The Six.

P. F. Barton-Plays a hard steady game and places well. Has a good backhand return and a strong service.

W. 7. S. Bythell-Plays a strong but somewhat erratic game in good style, but is too keen in scoring off every stroke. Needs confidence. Should improve if he can get over being so easily demoralized by weak opponents. J. Lupton-Has a good return and volleys well. Knows where to stand and where to place a ball except when his opponents lob.

C. H. Blomfield-Places well, and is very sure off the ground. Has a difficult serve, but is not careful enough about sending double faults at a critical point. With a little more judgment would make a first-rate player. F. Villy-Has been rather handicapped by weak partners. Has a good return and some fair strokes off the ground. Is often at fault in not coming up to the net, and, when there, stands too close for a man of his reach. F. D. Hessey-Hardly up to the average of the rest of the team. Serves and smashes well occasionally, but needs more caution.

In the Inter-collegiate Cup we were represented by Barton and Bythell, and once more succeeded in reaching the final round. In the first two rounds we beat Sidney and Corpus, and lost in the final to Pembroke.

LACROSSE CLUB.

At a general meeting the following officers were elected for next season: Captain-C. O. S. Hatton. Secretary-E. J. Kefford.

FIVES CLUB.

A meeting of members of the College interested in Fives was held on Wednesday, June 8th, in Lecture Room I, with Mr Tottenham in the chair. It was decided to form a St John's (Eton) Fives Club. The following officers were elected for the October Term:

- If satisfactory arrangements can be made, a Rugby Fives Club will be joined to this.

It is hoped that the matter will be taken up keenly in the College. Probably more men come up from school who can play fives, in one shape or other, than can play any other game whatever. It can be combined with the playing of almost any game, it gives the most exercise in the least time, and it can be played by men who are unable to do anything else. The only obstacle to the success of the Club is a financial one, and this can easily be met by the union of reasonableness and keenness on the part of members of the College.

4TH (CAMB. UNIV.) VOLUNTEER BATTALION THE SUFFOLK REGIMENT.

B Company.

The following promotion has been approved by the Commanding Officer during the past term: Bugler Leathes to be Lance-Corporal Bugler.

On Friday, June 3rd, a Company went to Hatfield to take part in a field day with Harrow School Corps and with Haileybury. In the speech made by the umpire after the sham fight, the University detachment was especially complimented on the smartness of their volleys. Owing to the field day falling so late in term, most of the Cambridge Corps were debarred from being present owing to examinations, so our muster was scarcely as good as last year.

The Inspection took place on Monday and Tuesday, May 9th and 10th; on the former day at 8.30 p.m. in the Corn Exchange in full marching order, on the latter at 7.30 p.m. on the Corps. Ground in review order. This is the first Inspection in the new uniform, which looked exceedingly neat and soldier-like; but the general effect was somewhat marred by some members appearing in the old regulation dress, although these were for the most part going down at the end of term, and consequently could not be expected to go to the expense of changing. The inspecting officer was Colonel Collins, who was the principal guest at the dinner held in the evening in the Hall of Peterhouse.
