HIGHLAND LIGHT INFANTRY CHRONICLE. 1st Battalion News. LUCKNOW NOTES. LucKNow, September lst. DEAR MR. EDIToR,-The worst of the hot weather is now a thing of the past, and to those of us who had the misfortune to spend a hot season in Dinapore the present one has come as a delightful surprise. The health of the whole Battalion has been excellent throughout the summer. Almost the only serious illness reported from hospital was Pte. Kelly of " K " Company, who was bitten by a snake in No. 1 Redoubt. Thanks to the constant lectures of Captain Moriarty, our Regimental Specialist out here, the necessary remedies were at once applied, and Pte. Kelly is now none the worse, and must be congratulated on a very lucky escape. The sceptical say that the snake was only a gra~s one, and that Pte. Kelly's sufferings were mainly due to the remedies applied. The expert at the museum, h()wever, dechtres that the snake was without any doubt a Kerait, the most deadly of all snakes. The rains this year have luckily been much less than usual, and there have been very few evenings when we have been prevented from indulging in GOme form of exercise At present a 2nd XI. Football League is being keenly fought out. "I" and" K " at present head the League, with three other Companies only 1 point behind, so that it is difficult to prophesy the ev~ntual winners. In July an Etonian team of the 8th Hussars challenged us 00 a foar-oared boat race. Our crew-Lieuts. EaHour (atr.), Lean (3), Inglis (2), and Baillie (bow), with Captain J ohnston Stewart as cox.-went off with great dash, rowing anything under 50 to the minute, and until half distance looked all over winners. From there want of training told badly, Bow catching a series of "crabs," and No. 2 indulging in what he afterwards explained as the famous Belgian stroke. This was too much for our usually placid cox., who, in venting hi;; wrath on the two delinquents, from there to the finish steered a. most zig-zag course. Result-Defeat by half a length and a dinner t& the victors. ' OUI Rugby team are at present down in Calcutta, under Lieut. Lilburn, competing in the League. A bad start has spoilt all hope of winning that, but they write that their prospects of blinging back the cup, which is played for on the conclusion of the League, grow brigh-ter daily. Certainly their latest match-a victory by 19 points to nil over Dalhousie-raises our hopes. The Association team are meanwhile training hard at Kasauli for the Durand Cup, the trophy won so often by the 2nd Battalion. We wish them all luck, and trust that they may repeat their Murray Cup success. We are sending a polo team to play at Bareilly in a small tournament on the 5th of September. The following is the team: Captain Johnston Stewart (back), Lieuts. Inglis (3), Low (2), and Anderson (1). It is a team composed of novices, and we hardly expect them to add another () polo cup to adorn the Mess table. We shall sadly miss all our star performers; we have elected to go home en masse this summer. We shall expect them to do great things this coming season, and hope to see them all back by November fit and ready to take the field with renewed vigour. There should be no inopportune goes of fever such as robbed us of one of our best players just before the last Inmlltry .. Tournament and greatly spoilt any chances we might have had. Colonel Stockwell has just completed a tour of six weeks' special duty at Simla, and has now proceeded on two months' leave to Ranikhet. Captains Pollok and Craigie-Halkett have both left for the United Kingdom during the last month-the latter, on promotion to that rank, to hunt at Cork. We heartily congratula te him on his promotion, and wish him all luck with his horses. The former has proceeded home on more serious businessmatrimony. We wish him all fortune in his new venture, and hope that it will not prevent him from leading the polo team to further efioris on his return. Rumours of various successes of our detachments at Manora and Kailana, under Captain Singleton and Lieut. Acklom, have reached us, but I hope that I shall be able to forward letters from both places recording their doings.
