NOTE. 
THE notes on ‘“‘ Magazine Regulations’ communicated by D.-A.-A.-G., R.A. 
and published in the September number of the “ Proceedings,” were intended as 
notes on Major R. F. Johnsou’s paper on the ‘ Ammunition Service of a Fort; ” 
the publication of these notes separately, was due to a misunderstanding ; and as 
they have now been inserted in their proper place, members are requested to 
cancel p. 483 of the September number of “* Proceedings.” 
Tuer Committee of the Engineering Congress held in Chicago in 1898, have 
collected a small number of the proceedings of the Military Engineering group ; 
some copies are kindly offered to members of the R.A. Institution at the 
small charge of 2s. 6d. a copy and postage. Officers wishing to obtain a copy, 
should write to the Publisher of ‘‘ Hngineering,” 35, Bedford Street, Strand, 
London, enclosing a remittance of 3s. 2d. 
H.R.H. tus Duce or Campripven, Commander-in-Chief has accepted an invita- 
tion to dine with the Regiment at the R.A. Mess, Woolwich on the 9th of 
November. Any officer wishing to be present, who has not received an inti- 
mation through a Mess or otherwise, is requested to notify his desire to dine to 
the Hon. Sec. R.A. Mess, Woolwich. 
R.A. POINT-TO-POINT RACES, 1895. 
From a sporting point of view the first attempt at a regimental point-to-point 
meeting was a complete success, and it is therefore hoped that it may become an 
annual event. 
There were more than twenty starters in both the regimental races, and the 
secretary, having paid all bills, finds himself with about £56 in hand. 
On this head, however, it is only fair to remember that this year, owing to the 
kindness of Mr. Tyndale White, secretary of the Essex Hunt, the expenses for 
damage were unusually small. 
Of course the future success of the meeting is mainly a question of finance. 
This year, the support afforded, especially from Woolwich and Aldershot, was 
most generous. Begging for money, however, for what purpose, is always un- 
pleasant, especially when there is a danger of people feeling any obligation to give. 
I venture to think too, that, if the effort to collect money has to be made each year, 
there would be some difficulty in getting anyone to perform the duties of secretary. 
The amount of money required is not large, and might be met, should the 
regiment approve, in the following manner without seriously interfering with any 
other subscriptions. This suggestion, for which there is the authority of the 
General Meeting held in London on Friday, 7th June, is that officers commanding 
batteries and companies, serving at home, should guarantee £1 per annum to the 
R.A. point-to-point fund at Messrs. Cox & Uo. This, which would only cost each 
individual officer some four or five shillings, would suflice to keep the fund solvent.
