By F. 8. A s h le y -G o o p b r . On the occasion of the meeting of the rival Blues, it will not be considered inappropriate to take a retrospect of a quarter of a century in order to ascertain which schools and colleges during the period named have pro­ vided the largest number of players who have participated in the famous match. It will readily be seen from the matter which appears below that the beneficent tuition of Mr. R. A. H. Mitchell has placed Eton in quite the forefront of the public schools in this respect. The value of so excellent a mentor it would be impossible to over-rate. Himself an Old Etonian, who in his day was second only to W.G. as a batsman, he pos­ sessed the ability of imparting his knowledge to others. Harrow is second on the list, owing chiefly, it should be added, to the excellent coaching of the Hon. Robert Grim- ston and the Earl of Bessborough. Both were famous cricketers in their time, and no work was more congenial to them than to train Harrovians in the way they should cricketally go. Who that knew them will ever forget “ Bob” Grimston and Fred Ponsonby, as they were known to their intimates ? No school has ever possessed two more loyal sons, and the length of service they rendered to Harrow was as remarkable as the amount of enthusiasm they threw into their labour of love. The late Mr. I. D. Walker, too, always worked loyally in the best interests of Harrow cricket, and did a great amount of good for the game, especially after the death of Mr. Grimston in 1884. Winchester occupies third place among the schools, and is followed by Uppingham— thanks to the late H. H. Stephenson—and Clifton. These five schools distance all rivals, owing to the excellent manner in which their young cricketers have been looked after. In the majority of schools the cry is “ Coach, coach, coach ; O, for a coach, ye Gods ! ” Eton and Harrow, as is shown above, have been very fortunate in this respect, as has Winchester, also, though in a somewhat lesser degree.
