The final now lay between the R.A., Woolwich, and Hounslow and was witnessed 
by about the largest crowd ever seen on the R.A. Polo Ground and resulted in a 
capital game. The R.A., who were somewhat handicapped by their ponies having 
had a severe tussle with the “‘Blues”’ on the previous day, went away at once 
and by capital polo, had at half-time secured 3 goals to 0, Their ponies now began 
to show signs of having had enough and Hounslow put on two goals, then 
Woolwich came again and secured another, but this was their last and they now 
had to do all they could to defend their own goal, but in spite of all Hounslow’s 
efforts they could only put on one more, leaving the result 4 goals to 3 in favour 
of Woolwich. All the winning team played well and it was a decidedly creditable 
performance to beat so powerful a combination as their opponents were and one 
that we hope will be encouraging to all players in the R.A. who indulge in this 
fascinating game. Success in this game depends on the possession and the thorough 
knowledge of 3 or at least 2 real good ponies and unswerving loyalty and con- 
fidence among the players themselves. We have too often tried to play with men 
on strange ponies and strangers to each other and the result has never been good. 
It only remains to add that the thanks of all the people of Woolwich who took 
part in the tournament, both as players, and spectators, are due to Col. Lockhart, 
R.A., for his kindly support and sympathy, without which the tournament could 
not have taken place atall. A word of praise and thanks might also be given to 
Mr. Pim, R.A., for the immense amount of care and trouble he bestowed on the 
ground, which was in capital order, and to Capt. Paget, R.H.A., and Mr. Wark, 
R.A., for their correct and able umpiring. Most of the details of the tournament 
were arranged by Mr. Head, R.A., who did all he could to ensure its success. 
MURREE. 
EIGHTEEN members of the Regiment in this place of pleasure (limited) 
gathered together in the club of Northern India at the dinner table on June 29th, 
and the gathering was so successful that we wish to place it on record. Fortunately 
nearly all were more or less known to one another, which fact conduced consider- 
ably to the success of the evening, several not so long ago were soldiering together 
at Woolwich. General Tyler who commands the R.A. in the Punjab presided, 
and we entertained General Moorsom as the guest of the evening. General 
Moorsom commands the Rawal Pindi district and has lately been officiating for 
Sir William Lockhart up here, so we were all glad to offer him the small honour 
of being our guest. As at 2.30 a.m. on the 30th June he was pleased to express 
his pleasure of having dined with us, we really hope he did enjoy himself. Muid- 
- night was passed with a very convivial sing song in full swing, which was much 
assisted by friends of the Regiment. Lieut. Carpenter of the Sappers supplied 
music at the piano by the hour, and that well-known Scots Fusilier, Lieut. Hayes- 
Sadler, contributed many items in the form of recitations and native music. After 
a welcome supper the last of the party separated for the rest of the night at about 
3 am. 
The following were present at the board in the order named :— 
Major-General Moorsom; Brig.-General T. B. Tyler; Captain F. Vans-Agnew ;
