REGIMENTAL POINT-TO-POINT RACES. 
Tux first Regimental Point-to-Point Races were brought off most successfully on 
Tuesday, 26th March, 1895, over a line in the Essex Hunt country about four 
miles from Epping. The fields for each race were larger than anyone expected, 
while the horses were a remarkably good-looking-and smartly turned out lot. 
The thanks of the Regiment are due to Mr. Tyndale White first for finding the 
line and secondly for the great assistance given by him to the Stewards. A large 
number of people from the neighbourhood honoured the Regiment with their com- 
pany and the attendance of officers Royal Artillery was very good; the Woolwich 
party had a special train from N. Woolwich, the Colchester and Ipswich party had 
a coach from Chelmsford and strong contingents vid London came from Aldershot, 
Dover, Shorneliffe and Weedon. The only complaint was of the fences which 
some thought too small and easily galloped over; though there were plenty of 
ditches they were not as large as those in the Roothing portion of the ‘‘ Essex” 
country. The first race, started well to time, resulted in a similar way to the 
Woolwich Drag Light-Weight Point-to-Point at Kemsing the previous week while 
the Heavy Weight Race was won by Captain J. W. G. Dawkins on Pilgrim, and is 
noticeable for the fact that this is the fifth consecutive Point-to-Point Race won by 
the same rider and horse. 
The Farmers’ Race was most appropriately won by a horse steered by the 
Master of the Essex Hunt. 
The day was generally fine with one sharp shower about 3.30 p.m. 
All who attended thoroughly enjoyed the day and were loud in their praises of 
the arrangements; itis to be hoped that next year the Stewards may be equally 
fortunate in their selection of a line and that the Regimental Point-to-Point may 
become an annual fixture.
