2. The General Abstract shews the income and expenditure for the 
past year. The Balance C r . is less than at this time last year by £34. 3s. lid . 
but this diminunition is more apparent than real; and is caused by expenses 
connected with the publication of Kane^s List, which will be more than 
compensated by its sale when completed. 
The Committee regret the loss to the 'Regiment and the service of Held 
Marshal Sir Hew Boss, G.C.B., R.H.A., one of the Trustees of the 
Institution; and are of opinion that his vacancy need not at present be 
filled up, there being still two Trustees, while the appointment of a third 
would cause needless expense in transfer of stock.
