The receipts (S1769.03) for the past year shew a falHng 

 off of nearly one hundred dollars, due to the failure of 

 our usual surplus from the Field Day, which, combined 

 with a margin, netted only S3. 61, as compared with $83.18 

 of the previous year, together with $35 less revenue from 

 rents from the building. In 1896 the revenue included

 wall with the premises next door. The total amount of 

 the different items in which there is a decrease is $126.19, 

 added to the proceeds of the dividing wall, shew a total 

 of $349.35, As an offset to this heavy handicap, on the

 small balance in hand. There is a liability, however, in 

 connection with the Eecord of Science, but the printers

 income shew an increase : —
