The Life of the late Colonel Duncan, C.B., B.A., M.P., by the Bev. H. B. 
Blogg, M.A., with an introduction by the Lord Bishop of Chester, is now to be 
obtained through the K.A.I. at 2s. 8d. 
It is a.work that should be in the Library of every B.A. Mess, as it contains 
much of interest about Begimental History. 
“ Field Artillery Fire,” by Captain W. L. White, B.A., is complete, with 
the last chapter appearing in this Number. A reprint in pamphlet form is pub¬ 
lished at the B.A. Institution, where copies may be obtained, price Is. each. 
At the Conversazione of The Boyal Society, May 4th, 1892, Captain H. C. L. 
Holden, B.A., exhibited no less than 10 Electrical Instruments, of which a full 
description is appearing in a series of articles in “ Electricity,” commencing 20th 
May, one of these instruments has been adapted to, or invented for work in 
connection with the science of Artillery, by Captain Holden, and the honour 
done him by this exhibition may be duly appreciated. 
AlilSERSHOT. 
ROYAL ARTILLERY RACES. 
Once more the Begimental Baces have been favoured with exceptionally fine 
weather, and the move to Aldershot would seem to be in the right direction. 
Notwithstanding the appeals to officers to give long notice of what luncheon 
tickets they would require, there was a large demand for tickets on the spot, with 
the result that those who lunched late were somewhat crowded. 
Very many thanks are due to the Aldershot B.A. Mess authorities for the help 
given by them to the Club contractor. 
As this is the first really large Lunch for which the contractor has had to cater, 
Members of the Club should be well satisfied with the result; doubtless the 
experience gained will be of great help in future, and it is hoped that those who 
availed themselves of privilege of Honorary Membership will promptly join the 
B.A. Luncheon Club. 
Besides the Begimental Baces detailed below, there were three open races, 
bringing out fields of three, eight and two respectively. 
Clerk of the Course and Stakeholder: Colonel S. H. Toogood. Ilandicapper : 
Mr. G. H. Yerrall. Clerk of the Scales and Judge: Mr. H. A. Stevens. 
Starter : Major M. Bowers, 5th Dragoon Guards. 
SATUBDAY, 30th APBIL. 
The course was in capital order; but still that did not prevent accidents happen¬ 
ing to Captain Johnstone and Mr. Lyon, both of whom were riding in the Boyal 
Artillery Gold Cup, the first-named being on the back of Nina, and the latter 
bestriding Chop and Change. Captain Johnstone had the misfortune to dislocate 
his shoulder, while Mr. Lyon appeared rather seriously hurt, but was quite right 
again after a few days rest. Eight turned out for the Boyal Artillery Light¬ 
weight Steeplechase, 2 to 1 being taken about K.C., but he, like others, had his 
chance destroyed by running out, the race ultimately falling to Shane O’Neil, who 
won by ten lengths. For the Boyal Artillery Gold Cup nine faced the starter, 
Bocket, who started at 7 to 2, winning by five lengths. The Boyal Artillery 
Welter Steeplechase attracted five to the post, Boyal being supported against the 
field, but he was early out of the fray by refusing, and Bovril, the outsider of the
