Major-General M. W. E. Gosset, G.B. has presented a very fine copy of 
Kane’s list, 1815 Edition to the R.A. Institution. This was the property of his 
father, Major Arthur Gosset, No. 1682 in Kane’s list and is particularly valuable 
as it was most carefully entered up by him in manuscript and contains his 
accounts of several distinguished Artillery officers not recorded in either our later 
editions of the list or ‘ Proceedings ’; many of these officers were friends of 
Major Gosset’s and he writes as if he had personally received his information 
direct from those whose services are described. It is probable that from this 
book General Askwith will be able to make further additions to the notes he has 
so kindly placed at the disposal of the Committee and which will be incorporated in 
the new edition of Kane’s list now under consideration. 
Major J. H. Leslie, R.A. is publishing ‘The History of Landguard Fort.’ 
He is not aware of any previous history of the fort having been written and as 
both the fort and its neighbourhood have figured largely in every scheme of 
defence of the country from early in the XYI. century until the present date, he 
finds a great amount of interesting material on which to work. 
Major Leslie has neglected no likely source of information and readers of thd 
book will find that, in addition to many most interesting items of ordnance any 
regimental history, the fort has been closely connected with the contemporare 
history of the country. The book is not quite ready for publication and farther 
detailed notice will be given on this point. 
Annual General Meetings. 
The Annual General Meeting of the Royal Artillery Institution will be held at 
3 p.ra. on Friday lltli June, 1897 at the Lecture Theatre, Royal United Service 
Institution, Whitehall. It will be followed by the consideration of the Royal 
Artillery Charities and Games’ Fund. 
The Committee will be glad to receive suggestions of subjects for the £ Duncan’ 
Gold Medal Prize Essay 1898; they should be connected with Field Artillery. 
A list of suggested subjects will be printed and sent to Messes a few days previous 
the Annual General Meeting in order that members may come prepared to vote. 
R.A. Drag Hunt. 
A great number of officers will be sorry to hear that J. Babbage, Kennel Hunts¬ 
man for nearly 14 years of the R.A. Drag, died at Woolwich on 20th February, 
1897. He was a most excellent man for his place and through his thorough 
knowledge of hounds the R.A. Drag always had a pack fit to go. He was a 
great judge of hounds and often acted in that capacity at Show’s, lie is succeeded 
by Mills, who was formerly under him in the kennels.
