chestnut mare, Grace and a smart dark grey with plenty of pace, Tommy; Captain 
H. M. Ferrar, a white-faced quick and active chestnut, named Toss Up, a chest¬ 
nut mare, Nora and a serviceable bay, Spinster; Captain J. Hanwell, Faugh-a-bala 
and a useful Arab, Kismet; Captain H. Schofield, Naoman and Boadicea. The 
visitors throughout had the best of the play, but I hardly expected them to make 
such short work of the home team. Hurlingham lacked combination, while the 
visitors made this their strong point. Individually the home team played well, 
but on several occasions I noticed Nos. 1, 2 and 3 all trying to be on the ball at 
once. The colours worn by the competing sides were not sufficiently distinctive. 
The Royal Artillery had white with a narrow dark blue band passing over the 
right shoulder and Hurlingham donned light blue, or were supposed, according 
to the programme, to wear blue and white. In the strong light a very pale shade 
of blue, such as Lord Harrington and Mr. Bentley wore, becomes almost impos¬ 
sible to distinguish from white, especially when the players are at the far end of 
the ground with the black boarding of the pigeon shooting enclosure as a back¬ 
ground. The play was, on the whole, fast. 
In the first period neither side scored, though Captain Bulkeley-Johnson got 
away twice from in front of his goal. 
In the second period the Royal Artillery fouled in front of the Hurlingham 
goal and had to retire and hit off from the centre of their own end, but this loss 
was speedily retrieved and the Hurlingham goal was twice threatened and the 
visitors marked their first point, the actual scorer being, I believe, Mr. Aldridge. 
When ends were changed the play for the most part favoured the visitors and 
Captain H. M. Ferrar scored. 
Score—Royal Artillery, 2 goals; Hurlingham, nil. 
In the third period neither scored, though at the commencement the visitors 
were considerably pressed by a scrimmage in front of their goal. Here Captain 
Hanwell and Captain Ferrar got a run, but were unsuccessful and the ball went 
over the boundary by the band stand. On its return to play the Royal Artillery 
fouled and had to pay the penalty by hitting off from their centre. From the 
hit off the visitors followed the far boundary, the ball going behind at the Hur- 
lingham end. When play was resumed the ball went out by the coaches and, on 
its being returned, the home team only averted disaster by hitting over their own 
back line. 
Score—Royal Artillery, 2 goals ; Hurlingham, nil. 
In the fourth period Hurlingham opened by hitting off from their centre and, 
Lord Harrington getting possession, he and Mr. G. Hardy came away and the 
former marked the first point to the credit of Hurlingham. On ends being- 
changed the visitors led off and Captain Ferrar again scored. On change of 
goals the play favoured the centre for a short time, but the visitors were too 
strong and again Captain Ferrar gave employment to the scorer. The home team 
now defended the goal at the stables end of the ground and when play commenced 
the ball at once went over the boundary by the band stand. On its being thrown 
in, Lord Harrington and Mr. Gerald Hardy got possession and, backing each 
other up, the latter scored. 
Score-—Royal Artillery, 4 goals ; Hurlingham, 2 goals. 
In the fifth period the visitors marked two points, in spite of capital fast play 
by the home team. 
Score—Royal Artillery, 6 goals ; Hurlingham, 2 goals. 
In the sixth period Hurlingham menaced the R.A. end, but Mr. Aldridge made 
a capital run from the front of his goal and, giving way to his No. 2, 
Captain Ferrar once more scored. On ends being changed the visitors forced the 
game in front of the Hurlingham goal where a scrimmage took place and Captain
