RULES AND REGULATIONS. 



The Committee do not propose any alteration in the conditions or arrangements 

 for the 1901 Tournament. To encourage competition in the Preliminary Ties, 

 the Committee will award to the winners in each division a bronze replica of the 

 Pony on the Challenge Cup, mounted on ebonised plinth. They will be suitable 

 mementos of the Clubs' entry into the semi-finals. The Club declared by the 

 Divisional Hon. Secretary as the winner must have played and won at least one 

 game against another Club in the division. A "walk-over" will not qualify 

 such Club for this divisional Trophy. 



The Hurlingham Club will again present Cups to the Members of the winning 

 Team, and will also reserve two dates in July for the Semi-Finals and the Final 

 Tie. 



By order of the Committee of Management, 



A. B. Charlton, Secretary. 

 March, 1901.
