way. The membership of the club showed some material falling off 

 during the past year, owing to financial conditions, and also to the fact 

 that a larger number than usual was dropped for non-payment of dues. 

 The total membership on May i, 1916, is 1796. There were 187 new 

 members added during the year, and 270 names were removed from the 

 list by reason of death, resignation, and non-payment of dues, leaving a 

 net loss of 83 for the year. We have good reason to believe that the 

 coming year will bring about a marked increase in the membership. We 

 trust that each member will assist in securing new members when the 

 annual blanks are sent out for recommendations. Respectfully, 



Wm. E. Colby, 

 Secretary
