You may remember that our debit balance then amounted to $14,753, this has now been reduced to $12,408, which preves as the state of our finances is a healthy one, though we have still a good deal to work of. Our receipts are satisfactory, for though there is a alight falling off in the entrance fees and subscriptions as compared with last year, yet the other items on the credit side show an improvement. Our chief expense last year was the new grand stand, and we have had to spend some more money on this in various slight alat- ations, which are incidental to avery new buildi
