ROYAL ARTILLERY STEEPLECHASES, 
In consequence of the great difficulty experienced, under the present system, in 
collecting the Annual Subscriptions to the above, it was decided at the last General 
Meeting to invite all officers to sign a standing authority to their bankers to pay 
their subscriptions to the race fund annually on Ist January. 
The amount of the subscription is optional, but badges of admission will only 
be issued to subscribers of £1 and upwards. 
Officers wishing to become subscribers are requested to notify their wish to Mr. 
E. H. Garland, Messrs. Cox and Co., 16, Charing Cross, S.W. 
No officer will in future be qualified to enter or ride horses at the Meeting who 
is not a subscriber of at least £1 to the race fund. 
A copy of the last statement of accounts is published, also a list of subscribers 
for 1894.
