nection with the matches and trials is that several very promising* young 
players have come forward. 
In accordance with a hope expressed at the last Annual Meeting the Committee 
published and sent to every member of the R.A.I. a pamphlet account of the 
fund with lists of subscribers to and grants from it; several officers found on 
reading it that their subscriptions to the fund had ceased and the result has 
been another very satisfactory accession of subscribers. 
The meeting agreed to allow the Games’ Fund Committee to make an annual 
grant to the Regimental Point-to-Point Races of such a sum as will provide 
suitable prizes, one each for heavy and light-weight races; the Committee think 
it most desirable to encourage cross-country riding in the Regiment and 
know of. no other way in which the fund can encourage the sport than by 
giving prizes for the Point-to-Point Races. As the rules of the fund stood 
they had no power to make such a grant.
