distribution among the many deserving chari- 

 table institutions of the county. Following 

 Mr. Roberts' graceful lead Messrs. Lockhart 

 Ross and W. T. Barkworth, past honorary 

 secretaries, oflFered a shield for junior clubs, 

 to be competed for annually in a series of 

 charity matches. The year 1895 was alto- 

 gether one full of events for the Surrey Associa- 

 tion. The county had from the first taken 

 an active interest in helping to institute the 

 competition for the South-Eastern Counties 

 championship. It had its reward in securing 

 the cup that year, though only to be dis- 

 possessed of it the following season. 



Since 1897 the administrative officer of the 

 association has been Mr. W. J. Wilson, of 

 whose untiring devotion to the increasing 

 work of the secretaryship, too much praise 

 cannot be given. The last three years the 

 captaincy of the county eleven has been in the 

 hands of Mr. A. J. Orr. He celebrated his 

 first season fittingly by carrying off for the 

 third time the South-Eastern Counties Cham- 

 pionship Cup, which had also been won in 

 1898-9. Owing to a scarcity of clubs the 

 Surrey Junior League competition was held 

 over in 1896-7, to be revived the following 

 season with the incentive of a silver cup, the 

 gift of Sir T. T. Bucknill, then Member for 

 the Epsom Division. Among the later de- 

 velopments of the Surrey Football Associ- 

 ation have been the formation of a Referees' 

 Association in October 1900, and of the Mid- 

 Surrey League in the preceding May. In 

 testimony of the good work Surrey Association 

 Football has done and is doing may be men- 

 tioned a donation of £iyS los. lod. from the 

 Surrey Football Association to the Transvaal 

 War Fund, the result of a collection from the 

 clubs forming the association. 



Since 1897 the supremacy of Reigate Priory 

 in the Senior Cup competition has been suc- 

 cessfully challenged by more than one club. 

 Weybridge, who, after winning in 1895, were 

 the runners up in 1896 and 1897, won it in 

 1898 and 1899, and again in 1902. Guildford, 

 who have won the Senior Charity Shield 

 three times in the seven years, have only got 

 into the final of the Senior Cup once, in 1900, 

 when West Croydon beat them easily. Only 

 twice have the cup and the shield been won 

 by the same club, by Reigate Priory in 1897, 

 by East Sheen in 1901. Until 1902, when the 

 Guards' Depfit won it for the second time, 

 the junior competition had never been twice 

 won by the same club.

 Surrey men have taken will be gathered from
