There was no means of discovering such defects by tests along the wire unless the wice was touching something at the defective point. He thought the wire had been put up about two years.

We are pleased to report that the boats and Gars are in first-class condition nad with the recent renovation of the pontoon our rowing material now in hand is very satisfactory.
In conclusion the outgoing Sab-Committee regret this general decline in the rowing section of the Clab, and, would arge a combined effort on the part of the members to raiso this sport to its old standard. As a stop in this direction we consider that the appointment of an active Rowing Captain is most desirable. We are pleased to acknowledge the services of the outgoing Rowing Captain, but we think the position of Rowing Captain is sufficiently im- portant to justify it being the chief ofice of any member at one time.
