h. Honorary and Foreign Members. 



The number of Honorary and Foreign Members remains 

 as at the last Anniversary.

Finances. — a. Income and Expenditure, 



The total Income of the Society during the past year has 

 amounted to the sum of £8831 8*. 5d., being an increase of 

 £172 15*. \0d. on the income of the preceding year, whilst 

 the total Expenditure, as compared with the same period, 

 exhibits a diminution of £l709 14*. Ad., making together 

 an improvement to the amount of £1882 10*. 2d. in the 

 financial condition of the Society. Under the head of Ad- 

 missions to the Gardens there has been a gradual increase 

 of receipts for the last two years, and this too notwith- 

 standing the very vinfavourable character of the last season, 

 especially during the Promenades and Poultry Exhibition, 

 vphen the weather was unusually stormy and unsettled. 

 This cause no doubt seriously affected the success of the 

 experiment; yet, in spite of adverse circumstances, the 

 number of Visitors at the Promenades exceeded 5000, and 

 the money received £360, — a result M'hich the Council 

 consider as so far satisfactory, and which warrants them in 

 anticipating a larger return and increased popularity during 

 the present and future seasons. Already the receipts at 

 the Gate amount to an excess of £188 18^. above those 

 of the coiTesponding period of last year. 



b. Assets and Liabilities. 



The available Assets of the Society remain as at the last 

 Anniversary, and the Liabilities have been reduced by the 

 sum of £577* 



The Liabilities at present outstanding do not exceed 

 £1800, a sum much smaller than at the corresponding 

 period for years past.
