REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE. 



February, 24th, 1888. 



With the publication of its Twenty-second Report, your Com- 

 mittee is enabled to give a satisfactory account of the Club's affairs 

 for the past year. 



Its financial position is sound, and the contributions have not 

 been behindhand in quality or usefulness. In numbers, however, 

 there is some diminution. Twenty-four new members have been 

 elected since the last Report, twenty- nine have resigned, and six 

 have died, leaving a total of 443 now on the books of the Club, 

 exclusive of honorary members.
