DOVER. 
Since last “Notes” the following changes have taken place:—Colonel Burgmann 
has assumed command vice Major-General Lloyd, c.b., appointed D.A.G., R.A.; 
Captain P. T. Cooper has joined No. 2 (Major Fraser’s) Company, vice Captain 
J. P. DuCane, appointed Adjutant of the Norfolk Artillery; Captain J. McCall 
Maxwell and Lieut. Tomkins have been ordered to Newhaven on relief ; Lieut. H. 
M. Barnes has been ordered to Rangoon, and Lieut. Wailes has been posted to 
and joined the Depot; Captain E. Fountain has assumed command of the District 
Establishment vice Webster, ordered to Malta. 
Major-General Lloyd, c.b., was entertained at dinner on 24th February, in the 
R.A. Mess, when 31 Gunners assembled to say “good-bye,” including three 
from Shorncliffe. In his farewell speech, General Lloyd remarked that the offer 
of his appointment came as a very great surprise to him, that he had looked forward 
to nothing better than ending his time in Dover; that he accepted the high honor, 
fully determined to do his best in promoting the welfare and efficiency of the 
Regiment. The fact of his appointment must be regarded as showing that it is 
the desire of those in authority to give a proof of their desire to end for ever, the 
dark days of the Garrison Artillery, by appointing to one of the highest positions 
in the service, one who has served almost entirely in that branch. 
Lieut.-General G. G. Pearse, c.b., R.H.A., has presented to the Mess a photo¬ 
graph of Major-General Elwyn, who commanded the R.A., South-Eastern District, 
from 1866 to 1868. The Mess Committee are very grateful to General Pearse 
for the trouble he has taken to obtain this portrait, which completes the series 
from 1860, the year when this Mess was formed, up to the present time. The 
Mess Committee also record with gratitude the gift of a box full of books to the 
Mess Library, by Major Morrieson. 
The “ Long Gun,” or Queen Elizabeth’s “ Pocket Pistol,” has been moved to 
a new site in the bend of the road opposite the south end of the canteen, to make 
room for a 6-in. B.L. gun on H.P. mounting. 
HALIFAX, N.S.

moose. The greatest span of their antlers measured 45^- and 44 inches, and their 
estimated weight was 1200 and 1160 pounds. They are the largest heads which 
has been secured by any R.A. Officer from Halifax for many years. Both moose
