2. STATE OF THE FINANCES. 
a. Income. 
The total Income of the Society for the year 1874 was 
£28,417 4s. 11d., exceeding that of the previous year by 
the sum of £318 ls., and being the largest amount ever 
yet received in any one year since the Society’s founda- 
tion. Although the Garden receipts for 1874 were only 
£16,759 16s. as compared with £17,055 18s. 6d. in 1873, 
this falling-off (which is entirely attributable to the bad 
weather on two of the great popular holidays) was more 
than compensated for by the increase under other heads 
of Income, particularly under those of “Compositions ” 
and Subscriptions.
