There was a fair attendance of members. REPORT AND BALANCE-SHEET. “The past season was a, quiet one, nothing outstanding having taken place. Tho weather was rather against our work,” stated the chairman in moving the adoption of the annual report and balance-sheet. Club members had done well at tho various meetings, and had been particularly successful at the provincial championship carnival. Iho carnivals had always been disappointing, and tho speaker did not think the dub had yet held a carnival that had been a financial success. The committee would have to seriously consider tho device of some means .whereby the carnivals could bo made successful financially. They could not go on year after year paying for carnivals. Jn seconding tho motion, Mr E. L. Macassoy congratulated all members who had been successful in the various meetings during tho season. Evidently the meetings hold in tho baths had been kept up, and he suggested that tho dub try out a championship meeting at tho baths. Tho club might alsobo able to raise some money through this effort if it were held. The motion was carried. OFFICE-BEARERS. ' The election of office-bearers resulted : : —Patron, tho Hon. W. B.
