“The Priest’ was first to show in front just clear of “Honor Oak” and 
“Sibyl,” with “ Surprise” last, and so they ran to the hill where “‘ Honor Oak ”’ 
took up the running. A mile from home the favourite joined the leader, but 
“ Honor Oak” quickly drew away again and won comfortably by eight lengths ; 
“ Puff”? was a bad third. ‘The Priest” fourth, ‘‘ Sibyl” fifth, and “ Solitude ”’ 
last.

After going half a mile “ Leila” took up the running, closely attended by 
“Star One,” and the two drawing away from the field, finished a length apart. 
““Conqueror”’ came in third, but failed to draw the weight, and the place was 
awarded to ‘‘ The Mirror,” who came in fourth. 
GIBRALTAR. 
So many gunners, past and present, have seen sport with the Calpe Hunt that a 
brief account of the annual Point-to-Point Race of the followers of these hounds 
—in which the R.A. took a prominent part—may not be without interest to 
the readers of the “ Proceedings.” 
The Point-to-Point Race has now become an annual institution at the Rock, 
and besides giving a prize to the actual first, it resolves itself into an inter- 
regimental contest among the officers of the various corps and departments in 
garrison. age 
The first soldier past the post scores 20 points, the next 19, and so on, down 
to the 20th, who scores 1, and the regiment or department with the largest score 
wins the cup. The contest generally lies between the R.A. and the R.E., pro- 
bably on account of their large numbers, and this year a rule was introduced that 
not more than the first six of any one regiment or corps should score marks, 
which had the effect of cutting out three gunners, nine of whom were in the first 
twenty.
