JMoir lo enlarge tlio eonnniitee *tnd membership, and ii the motion were curried the mooting would La adjourned until April 2nd. The annual report and balance-sheet showed that the past season had at first given every prospect of bein<; very successful, but unfortunato conditions had developed. A a the lesult of a conference -with the local instructors an excellent working agreement was arrived at. but the inability of the instructors to seenro suitable accommodation proved a set-back, and the pupils were limited. The urcertaintv of obtaining the Theatro Koynl for suitable date 3 further handicapped the progress of the club, and the change to the j Kimt Edward Barracks in mid-winter did not I find" favour with patrons owing to the nrlv;rse conditions. Five competitions were he'd, and on each thero was a financial loss, there bring a deficiency of £SS on the season, and the members uiei this by a levy. The two professional contests staged were not up to expectations, the best programme submitted being tho events between the men from 11.U.5. Ksnown during the visit of the Princo of 'Wales and thff local amateurs, which provided eomu of the most spectacular boxing of recent seasons. After the adoption of tho report, Sir W. J. Moir moved that the committee bo increased to ten elected members, .and that the club membership be increased in proportion.

G. Atack, T. Robson, A. R. Kirk, J. T. Sutton, and H. It. Evans supported it.
