NOTES 
FROM 
CORRESPONDING MEMBERS. 
The subject for the Duncan Gold Medal Prize Essay, 1893, is “ The Attack of 
a Coast Portress.” 
Attention is called to the Rules for Prize Essays printed at the end of the Rules 
E.A.I., and Officers are asked to be careful in posting their Essay intended for 
competition in time to reach the Secretary on or before the 1st of April. 
Any member who wishes can receive, at the cost of stitching and binding, about 
3s., a copy of the “ Cleaveland Notes on the Early History of the Eoyal Regiment 
of Artillery. A.D. 1267—1757.” 
In order to bring the already existing printed Records of the R. M. Academy up 
to date, it has been found that there will be a much larger amount of letter-press 
to be added than was at first anticipated. In consequence of this it has become 
necessary to raise the estimated price per copy from 12s. 6d. to 15s. 
Any Officer who may wish for a copy is requested to send his name and address 
to the Secretary, R.M.A., Woolwich. 
Copies of examination papers in subjects (c), ( d ), and (e) are on sale at the 
R.A.I. The last sets comprise questions set in four examinations ending May, 
1891. Price, Lieutenants (c), ( d ), and (e), Is.; Captains, (c) and ( d ), 9d.

The Mess Committee R.A. Mess, The Castle, Dover, will be very glad to receive 
as gifts or on loan from officers such sporting trophies as they may wish to be 
carefully looked after and well placed for exhibition. 
Many officers serving abroad have difficulty in finding a home for their trophies, 
and will do well to avail themselves of this offer of the Dover Mess Committee. 
The following is part of a letter from the D.-A.-G., R.A., and will explain why 
the names of certain officers have recently disappeared from the R.A. Regimental 
Lists :—“ It having been decided that such officers of the R.A., above the rank
