A match was played at Charlton Park, on the 11th June, against a team from 
Hnrlingham under the captaincy of Lord Harrington. In spite of heavy rain, 
the game proved one of the best we have had at Woolwich, and at the end of time 
the score was two all. The game was continued for another ten minutes, but 
neither side scored. After a rest for a few minutes it was decided to play on, 
and the visitors, owing to their superior and more numerous ponies, eventually 
scored. The sides were as follows :— 
R.A. Lord Harrington s Team. 
1 . 
Mr. Peel. 
1 . 
Mr. Lloyd. 
2. 
,, Gillson.

On the 18th June a return match was played against Fetcham Pane, which, 
after a tie, ended in a victory for the Kegiment. The sides were as follows :—

1. Capt. Ferrar. 
2. Mr. Gillson. 
8. ,, Aldridge.

On the 9th July, the Regimental team met the 12th Lancers in the Regimental 
Cup at Hnrlingham, and, in spite of the luck being all against them, and the 
ponies somewhat inferior, made a very close game of it. The score was four to 
two in favour of the Lancers. The teams were as follows :— 
R.A. 12th Lancers. 
1. 
Mr. Peel. 
1. 
Capt. Gordon. 
2. 
,, Gillson. 
2. 
Mr. Crawley. 
3. 
Capt. McKenzie. 
3. 
Capt. Egerton Green. 
Back. 
,, Hanwell. 
Back. 
Mr. Wormwald. 
Mr. Fordyce-Buclian, Mr. Head, and Mr. Maunsell very kindly lent their ponies 
to the team, for which they deserve the thanks of the Regiment. In fact, had 
it not been for Mr. Fordyce-Buchan’s ponies the Regiment would not have 
entered. 
The team, besides having bad luck in the game, were somewhat unfortunate in 
drawing such a strong regiment as the 12th, as they would probably have beaten 
most of the other teams. 
On the 6th July, the R.A. Sheerness sent a team to play at Woolwich. The 
sides were as follows :—

R.A. Sheerness.

Mr. Byron. 
The home team was too good for the visitors, eventually winning by nine goals 
to one. 
On the 16th July, the Regiment played against the Ranelagh Club, on their
