It showed that payments had exceeded receipts by £3O, reducing the accumulated funds to £ll7. tn view of the fact that the prizemoney this year had been £75 greater than at the previous regatta and that a considerable sum had been spent in nonrecurring expenses, such as the purchase of a typewriter, this was considered satisfactory.
