NOTES 
FROM 
CORRESPONDING MEMBERS. 
The Annual General Meeting of the R.A. Institution will take place at 3 p.m. on 
Friday the 15th June in the Lecture Theatre of the Royal United Service Insti¬ 
tution, Whitehall. 
The Committee intend to propose the following alteration in the Rules:— 
Para. 3 of Rule II. on page 2 to read—“ The Committee shall have power to 
elect as honorary Members such gentlemen connected with Naval and Military 
arts and sciences as they from time to time think fit; and for short periods, 
officers of the Army and Navy who may be temporarily in the garrison or 
neighbourhood,” instead of as it now stands. 
After the business of the Institution is finished the R.A. Charities, R.A. 
Games’ Fund, and R.A. Cricket Club will be considered. 
Anyone wishing to raise a question or to propose a change in any of them is 
requested to communicate with the Hon. Secretary of the Fund concerned at 
W oolwich. 
At the consideration of the R.A. Games’ Fund mentioned above the Committee 
intend to ask the Meeting to approve the following :— 
“ That Inter-Regimental R.A. and R.E. Golf Matches be instituted to be played 
either once or twice a year and under such conditions as the Games’ Fund Com¬ 
mittees of the Regiment and Corps shall settle.” 
“ That the R.A. Games’ Fund give a sum, not exceeding i630, to be added to a 
similar sum given by the R.E. Games’ Fund for the purchase of a Challenge Cup 
to be held by the winner of such periodical golf matches under conditions similar 
to those governing the Racket and Billiard Matches.” 
The Committee will be glad to receive, as soon as possible, suggested subjects on 
Garrison Artillery for the " Duncan ” Gold Medal Prize Essay, 1895. 
Readers of the R.A. I. “ Proceedings ” may remember a paper that appeared in 
the Notes of No. 3, Yol. XIX., January, 1892, describing a visit to a civilian 
collector of military works of art, books, and curios. The gentleman there re¬ 
ferred to is now leaving the neighbourhood of London to live in the country, and 
is obliged to dispose of his collection. 
Anyone possessing the means and fond of military curios and histories has now 
a chance of acquiring a nearly unique collection. The Secretary R.A. Institution 
will be happy to answer any inquiries on the subject.
