He spoke in seconding the nto. tion of the Chairman, Mr. R. M. Dyer, that the report and accounts be adopt- ed.

CONCLUSION OF THREE DAYS' TOURNAMENT

Harada and Makino are under-
venise but it was small and lie net graduates of the Keio and Com- kold too many #1 seats.
Mr. Dyer, who presided, said:- The General Committee regret that
the necounts show the Association to be in a very poor financial condition. The tournament account which shoufl Je and has been in the past ur mais urce of profit shows a lora of the substantial sum of $984.39 as against inst year's profit at $660,66-n differ ence of $1,651.05. The surplus on the general account is also less by $238.70 than last year.
Lack of Support
The cause of this regrettable state of affairs is due to the lack of sup port given by the general public to the Association's tournaments during the season under review. The houses were poor and there was a particular falling off in the attendances in the ring Яide seats,
In the opinion of the General Com- mitte the standard of boxing was well maintained during the season, and there uppears to be no good reason 145 explain this lack of support.
We can only hope that the coming senson will show a great improvement in attendances at the tournaments, without which it will be impossible to continue the netivities of the Assocía- tion.
The General Committee believe that the Association is of considerable value to the Services and the public in gen- eral, and I for one should be very and if it was found necessary to shut down.

The Association during most of last were without the services of their energetic and efficient manager, Mr. J. Break, who was taken ill and had to go away to recuperate. We are rlad to know that he has returned in good health and with renewed vigour 10.00 and keenness. A successful season will be largely due to him.
10.04 There is plenty of good material for! contests in the Colony, and any one who desires to put the gloves an in public should 'communicate with the manager, who will do every thing pos- sible to find him a suitable opponent.

The renewed association of W. C. Powell and Frank Williams, a half- back; that of J. C. Morley, H. M. Bowcott, Guy Morgan, and John Roberts at three-quarter, with such a reliable full-back behind them as Jock Bassett, might well prove to be the best back division among the four home Unions. And I believe they will all be available. Morgan, by the way, who is the new Cambridge Captain, will assist Guy's Hospital after he "goes down" at Christmas.
