genda of Kane's list. They find that the expense would be far greater 
than they had anticipated, and consider that it will be better to defer any 
further expenditure on Kane's list until the time comes to publish a 
new edition. Four new pages of names of young officers who have 
joined since 1891, have, however, been recently issued. 
Before leaving this subject the Committee desire to testify their 
gratitude to General W. H. Askwith, Colonel Commandant, R.A., for 
the great help he has given them in making corrections. No error 
escapes his vigilance, and his labour of love in the cause of the Regiment 
is unceasing. 
In order to facilitate the work of the judges of the Prize Essays this New Rules 
year the Committee have had all the essays type-written in triplicate, Es^/com. 
so that each judge has been provided with a typed copy. As the means P etition * 
of doing this accurately and of maintaining the necessary secrecy are 
somewhat cumbersome, the Committee intend to amend the Rules for 
Prize Essays as follows, viz. :— 
The essays must he forwarded to the Secretary so as to reach him on or 
before the 1st of April. 
Each essay must he type-written in triplicate. The essays must be strictly 
anonymous, hut each to have a motto, and be accompanied by a sealed 
envelope with the motto written outside and the name of the writer in¬ 
side ; further, if the writer wishes to recover from the Committee part 
of the cost of type-writing his essay he should state this fact in the 
same sealed envelope and write outside it, above the motto, “ to be 
opened.” 
All the envelopes thus marked will be opened by the Secretary after the 
result of the competition has been announced, and he will send the 
money for their type-writing expenses. 
The Committee will allow a sum of £1 for type-uniting each essay.
