Tue Annual Meeting was held at the R.U.S.I. on Friday, 7th June, when the 
following Report and Accounts were presented: the accounts are for the year 
1894 and show an increase in the credit of £50. 
The number and yalue of grants to various stations exceed those made in any 
one year since 1883. 
The results of the current year’s Racket and Billiard matches were most satis- 
factory as the Regiment succeeded in winning back both cups. 
As the silver plates on the plinths of the cups were full of names the committee 
of the R.E. Fund suggested that each Fund should pay for another step to the 
plinth of one cup this step to be provided with enough silver plates for recording 
the names of winners for sixteen years. This has been ingeniously carried out by 
Messrs Elkington without necessitating the enlargement of the cases in which 
the cups travel. 
The Inter-regimental Golf Match, the institution of which was approved by the 
last Annual meeting, was played for the first time over the St. George’s Club, 
Sandwich, Links, on 22nd April and resulted in a victory for the R.E. by 10 
holes in the aggregate. The meeting was attended by several officers of the 
Regiment, principally from Dover, who agreed that it will soon become a most 
popular annual fixture. No cup has yet been provided as the Committee of the 
R.E. Games’ Fund on going into the matter could not see their way to meeting 
the R.A. Committee. 
A subscription of £5 has been paid from the Fund on behalf of the Regiment 
to the Indian Inter-regimental Polo Challenge Cup Fund; this entitles the Regi- 
ment to send a team each year to play in the Tournament the winner of which will 
in future hold a cup provided out of these subscriptions. Any regiment not 
subscribing and wishing to enter will have to pay £10 in addition to the usual 
rupees 100 for the expenses of the year. 
The number of subscribers to the Fund June, 1894 = 614. 
5p bp % ; s May, 1895 = 639. 
The report having been adopted and the accounts passed, it was resolved to 
_ Invest the sum of £300 in some stock to be selected by the Committee, and to 
deposit the balance of £500 in the Post Office Savings’ Bank, 
In the remarks that followed Major-General F. T. Lloyd, ¢.8., said he thought 
it a pity that the Committees of the R.A. and R.E. Games’ Funds eannot come
