" By the abstract of the Treasurer's Account, it will 

 appear that on the year there was a balance of £294 4s. O'.d. 

 in favour of the Society. This being diminished by 

 £245 4s. 7^d., the balance against the Society last year, 

 leaves £48 19s. 5d. now in its favour in the general 

 account, a small sum certainly, but one likely to be rapidly 

 increased by the usual influx of visitors at this period of 

 the year and by the proceeds of the intended promenade. 



' The liabilities of the Society are very small, excluding 

 the remains of the original debenture debt. The interest 

 on this has in most cases been kept down by giving credit 

 to the holders for their subscriptions ; those debentures 

 have been surrendered as donations to the Society, and 

 one given in exchange for life membership.
