geant Price; 2nd, Sergeant Parker. Y.C. Competition.—1st, Sergeant Mullins. 
All these N.-C.Os. belonged to the 67th Field Battery stationed at Fermoy. 
Officers—Sword v. Sword.—Lieut. Stirling, 67th Field Battery, v. Riding- 
Master Waile, 10th Hussars. After very even fighting Stirling was disqualified 
for, by mischance, touching his opponent’s horse on the head. 
Jumping Competition by Sections over Post and Rails, Hurdle, Water Jump, 
and Stone Wall.—In this the teams from 67th Field Battery and the 10th 
Hussars jumped beautifully, and no decision could be arrived at till after two 
extra runs, when the R.A. were beaten by one point. Not a bad performance for 
one Field Battery against two Cavalry Regiments, viz., 10th and 13th Hussars. 
On their march from Cahir to Cork and back the squadron of the 10th Hussars 
were put up for the night by the R.A. at Fermoy. 
The Cork Harbour division of the R.A. have opened their cricket season well, 
having beaten the Navy and Haulbowline (twice), the 85th King’s Light Infantry 
and the Youghal Cricket Club, thus keeping up their reputation of last year, 
when they won every match they played, beating the Cork County twice, and all 
the regiments in the Cork District. Lieutenant Galloway (a quondam representa¬ 
tive of the R.A. at rackets) is the chief run-getter, while able aid in bowling and 
safe fielding from Major A. Griffiths help the team to win their matches. Lieut. 
Phillipps is captain, and Company-Sergeant-Major Brown, late of the Ordnance 
Artificers, is a great addition to it. 
Cork Harbour, as many readers may know, is the R.A. official and euphemistic 
term for Spike Island, once the rocky and island home of convicts, and we have, 
on account of this rock, to play on matting. During the last three years Spike 
Island has been made the R.A. Head-quarter Mess, and botli companies of 
Garrison Artillery, together with a company of Engineers and two companies of 
the Infantry regiment from Kinsale, are quartered here ; the outer forts, Carlisle 
and Camden, being now garrisoned by Infantry and Engineers, keep the R.A. 
together at Spike. 
DO¥ER, 
No. 17 Siege Train Company has proceeded to Lydd for its six weeks’ annual 
course, returning to Dover about 20th July. 
Captain J. P. DuCane has gone to Newhaven in command of the half company 
there. 
The Kent Artillery have dispersed after their month’s training. They were 
located in Fort Burgoyne, and many were the mutual hospitalities interchanged 
between them and the Castle; the officers very kindly sent their band to play 
on Guest Night at the R.A. Mess, which was very much appreciated. 
On June 3rd a very interesting and close golf match was played over the links 
of the Cinque Ports Golf Club at Deal between teams of the R.M.L.I. at Walmer 
and R.A. Dover, with the following result:—

No. 2 Company carried out its practice (competitive) at Newhaven this year, 
securing a 3rd class; this is praiseworthy, when they were firing at a “ record ” 
target, on which direct hits alone count, and with guns fitted with the clumsy 
capstan-headed elevating gear, and with no sighting steps and posts.
