11.A. Q&imes’ Fund. 
This fund was considered after the Annual General Meeting, R.A.I. on 3rd 
June, 1898; the Committee report as follows:— 
The accounts presented are those to 31st May, 1898. 
The numbers of subscribers to the Fund, May, 1897 = 1,054. 
„ „ „ „ 1898 = 1,130. 
This year the racket and billiard matches were played at Chatham and resulted 
in the Regiment retaining possession of both cups. 
The Royal Engineers have again won the golf matches which were played as 
before over the St. George’s Club links at Sandwich. 
The grants to stations are much the same as usual; the refunds of grants 
shown on the ‘ Receipts ’ side bear witness to the careful manner in which the 
conditions laid down by the Committee when making grants are complied with. 
The Committee granted assistance to a pair entering for the Army Racket 
Challenge Cup at Prince’s Club ; the expenses connected with practice at Prince’s 
are very heavy; though the Regimental pair failed to beat the holders they won 
every other tie; the Committee fear that owing to the conditions of the com¬ 
petition it will be a long time before the Royal Artillery is able to enter so strong 
a pair ; they have no intention of granting assistance to any pair not likely to do 
credit to the Regiment. 
The Committee have recently decided to assist, by payment of travelling ex¬ 
penses, such officers as may be selected to represent the Regiment in either or 
both of the annual cricket matches against the Royal Engineers. 
Major S. B. von Donop, R.A., has for some months been noting the working 
of the Fund with a view to taking over the Secretaryship vacated by Major Abdy 
leaving the R.A.I. 
The Committee consists of Major-General F. T. Llovd, c.b. 
Colonel J. F. Bally, lt.A.‘ 
Major W. F. Lindsay, R.A. 
Major A. J. Abdy, R.A., Hon. Secretary. 
The Report was adopted and the Accounts as given herewith were passed. 
Permission was given to the Committee to make such a grant as they think fit 
to the Officers R.A. at Shoeburyness, towards the expenses of rebuilding the boat¬ 
house at that Station which was destroyed by fire last winter.
