Dr. T. M. Maguire, LL.D., on “ Chanzy’s Campaign ; ” Bde.-Surgeon 
Lt.-Col. Evatt, M.D., A.M.S., on “ The Sanitary Care of the Soldier 
Veterinary Lt.-Col. Walters, A.V.D., one Lecture on “ Stable Manage¬ 
ment,” and another on “ Saddlery and Sore Backs.” Capt. C. Orde-Browne 
also gave a description of the “ Directions for the Attack of Armoured 
Ships by Shore Batteries ; ” this Lecture was open to Officers of the 
Army and Navy only, and will not be published. 
The Committee are anxious that Members should suggest the name 
of any Lecturer, or subject for a Lecture, likely to be of general 
interest. 
The Pictures by Officers R.A. are now all hung in the Drawing 
Room, and form a very interesting collection ; if the present rate of 
additions to the gallery should continue, the Committee will soon have 
to seek for more room. The thanks of the Regiment are due to those 
talented Officers who have so generously given specimens of their best 
work. 
During the past year the Committee instituted a system of sending 
out monthly with the “ Proceedings,” a sheet, containing Advertise¬ 
ments of Articles, or Property for Sale, Houses to Let, and wants 
generally, of Members. Possibly Members have overlooked the notice 
drawing attention to the system, as but little use has been made of it. 
Gifts to the Institution continue to be received from all quarters ; 
amongst others, Mr. H. G. Slade has given several M.S. Note Books 
and Letters, Sketches, Surveys, Pay Books, and Military Works, the 
property of his late father, Captain Henry Slade R.A., who served through 
the Peninsular and American Campaigns ; Count Ostrorog, late Lieut. 
R.A., has given a life-size portrait of General Lord Roberts, V.C., &c., &c. 
Major A. D. Seton, Forfar and Kincardine Artillery Militia, has given 
an engraving of “The Wreck of the Birkenhead,” as a mark of gratitude 
for the kindness he has received from the Institution ; Lieut. 
G. G. Traherne, R.A., has given a very fine Koran, from the Miranzai 
Country ; and Major-General F. W. Stubbs, late R.A., several records 
of the Bengal Artillery. 
Last year the Institution received a legacy in the shape of a trophy 
of arms and weapons left by Miss Mary Augusta Gordon, “ as a small 
token of her gratitude for the kind sympathy of the Officers Royal 
Artillery towards her late brother, General C. G. Gordon, C.B., R.E.” 
The sale of the “ Proceedings ” to the public, through Messrs. 
Dulau & Co., has again increased most satisfactorily. 
The Committee have availed themselves of the powers given by 
the new clause in Rule II., and have elected the following gentle¬ 
men connected with naval or military arts and sciences Honorary 
Members, viz. : 
W. Kellner, Esq., Ph. D., Chemist, Royal Arsenal. 
Prof. C. Y. Boys, F.R.S. 
Prof. W. D. Niven, M.A., F.R.S. 
Poultney Bigelow, Esq. 
There were on 31st March, 1894—1822 Members of the Institution, 
as against 1791 last year. 76 Officers joined during the year, as 
against 88 last year. The number of deaths was 21, and withdrawals, 21.
