The cricket season at the school has been fairly successful. An ignominious break down early in the season against York, was amply atoned for by a glorious victory over the same team on its own ground. An admirable summary of the last football season is to be found in the Epilogue, recited at the conclusion of the speeches. Fortunately for themselves, but few old Dunelmians came to Durham on the day, for which the sports had been fixed. The school is generally fortunate in the matter of weather on sport days, but this year afler a gallant attempt to brave the elements, a retreat had to bo beaten, and an adjournment to another day mat^e. The mention of the sports reminds us than an old Duneluiian has promised us, for a future number of this Magazine, an account of the old school " steeplechases," which were always held somewhere other than the school. Canon Bowlby, who was a head boy in the time of Dr. Elder, and was afterwards for a short lime one of the assistant masters at the school, is President of the Club for 1880. The experiment of an old Dunelmian Dinner in London was tried this year. The company was small, but representative. Canon Bowlby was in the chair. It will be remembered that at the time of the presentation to Dr. Holden of his portrait, many of the subscribers were anxious to obtain an engraving of the portrait. Wo have received a communication from Messrs. Boussod, Valadon & Co., 11G, New Bond St., London, in which they offer to complete the engraving for £100. They are willing to receive the names of subscribers. "We would suggest, therefore, that gentlemen who may wish to possess engravings, of which the cost would be £1 Is. each, should write direct to this firm. If a sufficient number of names are received, the engraving will be executed. "We offer the best congratulations of the club to Mr. A. T. Bobertson, a member of the Committee, on his marriage. It is with great grief that we record the death of the Bev. W. H. BOBEKTSON, Minor Canon of the Cathedral. He died somewhat suddenly at Buxton, on Sunday, August 2nd. Mr. Bobertson has been a Minor Canon of the Cathedral for nineteen years, and his tall, manly figure was familiar to many generations of Durham boys. He took a kindly and genuine interest in the School, and his loss will bo mourned by many old Durham boys, who knew him as a strong and true friend to themselves and to the School. 101 flp luttttt l^gdiiu The School was represented at the Regatta by the following crews I. II. R Ford D Hampson R Trevelyan F Poole R H J Poole H Holden W Fogg-Elliot (str.) C Sadler (str.) H Collinson (cox.) A Poole (cox.) There were four crews in for the Challenge Cup, Town, Durham University, South Shields, and the School. The School were drawn against the Town, the latter with easy station. The Town crew went away from the start, and were leading by a length out of Pelaw Wood. This lead was increased to two lengths at Baths' Bridge. Aided by the bend between bridges, and the easy arch, the Town shot Elvet Bridge three lengths in front. Here Fogg-Elliot, who was rowing splendidly, quickened up, and the School crept up little by little, which they continued to do to the finish, and were only beaten by a bare length. The University crew was easily beaten by the Shields crew. In the final, th e Town won, after a good race to Baths' Bridge, by two lengths. In the Wharton Challenge Cup, the Town, who were drawn against the University, won as they liked, and the School rowed over. In the final, th e hard arch again fell to the School. Both crews got off to a good start, but the Town soon drew in front. Past the Enclosure they were leading by a length. This they increased to nearly two at Baths' Bridge. Between the bridges the Town gained a good deal, and came through Elvet a little more than three lengths in front. Here the School quickened, and rowing well together, besides being favoured by the bend at Bow Corner, gradually picked up all the way to the finish, and were beaten by a length-and-a-half.
