ed. A committee was formed consisting of the Club Committee and representatives of
some other clubs. Rules were drawn up, and nt first it seemed as if the idea of the proposed competition would have to be given up entirely, is the representative of the British Regiment insisted on its onter- ing as one team, while other members of the Committee considered that the useful ness of the competition would be best served hy the Regiment and the Royal Artillery

had. But it was also pointed out by other raprosentatives that ships' tenis bad so fow opportunities for practice, that it was only fair that company teams should be pitted against them. Also, it seemed ossen- tial and desirable in every way that football should be participated in by as many players as possible. Eventually, opposition was withdrawn and playing by companies was approred. Seventeen teams entered for that Cup and the success of the move- mont was so great, that in the following season the public were invited to subscribe to a permanent trophy. The amount neces- aary was easily raised and the Shield Competitico proper commenced. The fol- lowing table shows its progress :-- No. of Teams. Season.
