SHOLBURWYNESS. 
As a great number of officers will be coming to Shoeburyness during the year, it 
may be of interest to those who are making their first visit to know what amuse- 
ments they will be likely to find. 
Cricket, of course, is of the best; an attempt will be made to keep the grass 
down on the golf links, which are much improved, though the rabbits are somewhat 
trying to the secretary’s temper; there are six tennis and two stické courts, and 
very fair boating and sailing may be had. 
Stické is much played by the courses, the only equipment required is a pair of 
tennis shoes and a light tennis racquet. 
We enjoyed skating during the whole period of the frost on a private pond for 
which we are indebted to Lient.-Colonel Howard. There were several “at homes ”’ 
on the ice, and the School of Gunnery Band gave an opportunity seldom avail- 
able, of dancing to music on skates. 
Football has been rather interfered with, but Shoebury has been very successful 
of late and can produce a good team. We have won the semi-final in Grays’ 
Charity Cup, beating Barking, the holders, by 3 goals totwo. We unfortunately 
had to scratch in the third round of the Army Cup, owing to the regulations, 
which debarred the ‘‘ young officers” from playing, and also prevented No. 2 
Company from being represented in the team. The constant changes taking place 
here rather handicap us in competing with infantry battalions. 
In accordance with the new arrangement, several gentlemen cadets, awaiting 
commissions, have joined. They will swell the numbers in mess, and prove, let 
us hope, a great addition to all our games.
