ROYAL ARTILLERY POINT-TO-POINT 
As will be seen by the accompanying accounts, there was a balance of nearly 
1250 lying at Messrs Cox & Co’s at the beginning of the year. 
This amount was not considered by the stewards large enough to justify them 
incurring the expense of holding a meeting this spring. It was, however, pro¬ 
posed, and unanimously carried, at the Royal Artillery Race Meeting, held at 
Pratt’s on 3rd June, that a cup should be given out of the funds at the Secretary’s 
disposal, to the first gunner home in either of the Army Point-to-Point Races, 
on the condition that not less than four artillery officers, subscribers of 121 or 
more to the R.A. Point-to-Point Fund, start for that race. 
It was hoped that this proposal would increase the interest of officers of the 
Regiment in the Army Point Meeting, and therefore in that class of racing, and 
generally induce more to enter horses. 
The stewards hope also that those officers who are interested in point-to-point 
racing and approved of a club being formed, will continue their annual subscrip¬ 
tion. If those, and they are the majority of us, who are interested in hunting, 
would even subscribe 5s. annually, there would be funds enough to give a cup at 
whatever centre there were enough gunners collected, who wished to have a race, 
on their horses they had been hunting, over a natural country.
