The finances of the Club continue in a fairly prosperous posi- 

 tion, for though the yearly expenditure exceeds the receipts by 

 £4:. Os. 7d., the Treasurer was able to meet the deficiency by the 

 balance in hand from past years. The increased expenses arising 

 mainly in the Printing items, the Committee have been instructed 

 to consider the question of possible reduction in this quarter. 



In conclusion, the past year has been rather an eventful one 

 in the death annals of the Club, three old members whose 

 presence used to be so familar have passed away ; the Kev. A. 

 G. How, General Mulcaster ; and C. E. Broome, Esq. ; the latter's 

 absence cannot easily be replaced ; another * (star) has fallen 

 out of our list, two only now remain, let his and their example 

 encourage us to work while time is ours !
