yro on activ© tsorvicc. The club'a racing plant was in good order, as was tlio plesusure plant, with one 01* two exceptions. Only one regatta (Kaiapoi) had boen held during the year, at which tho club was represented in most events. The club had continued to foster school rowing by granting free membership to a number of boys from Christ's Collego and Boys' School, and the committee acknowledged the receipt of dona- _ :is from both ecliooLs towards tho upkeep i" the piu.nL Financially, owing to tho war, t.h® club was not in a good position.

As tho receipts included £15 transferred from the sinking fund, it was clear that littlo headway had been made. The club was still lefling members to the training camps, and unless some of tho older members came forward, the future did not appear -! any means a bright ont. In moving the adoption of the report and balance-sheet, tho chairman said the club •had now been reduced from nearly 200 members to leas than 30, owing to tho inroads mado by tho war. and in view of this ho considered that thosa who were left had done yeoman service in keeping tho club from scoinjc back.
