It is considered advisable that some additional horsa stalls' should be built before next show. The annual hlorse parade and ram fair were held as usual, tke proJits being £4 2/2 and £2 Is respective ly. There is a slight facing o'f in the membership, and a few have not yet paid last year's subscriptions. This is to be regretted, more especially as the Association has to pay £775 to debenture holders during the next two years.
