fitonyhurst College. By the Rev. G. Gruggen, S.J., and Rev.
J. Keating, S.J. (Kegan Paul. Trench, and Co. 7s. 6d.)— Stonyhurst is St. Omer's, compelled to migrate to England by the French Revolution, and it has now more than completed its century of life in this country. In this volume we have a history of its past and its present, and both will be found interesting. The serious and the sportive sides of school life are both described. The College played, it seems, what we may call a schismatic sort of cricket up to the year 1860, when it assimi- lated the game to that practised in the world. Since that time it has been followed with success. Among the extinct sports is " bandy " (which the Claimant thought was a. building), and "rogging," which is, in fact, the same as " lading " (the trout out of a brook), and has been now very properly prohibited by law.
