The Navy team will have the services of the majority of the men who figured in their ranks last season, and will still give their opponents a hard game. There are no players more clean and keen than the Navy men, and it is gratifying to know that Fennemore will be able to keep his men going at Happy Valley.
The Military teams will be quite as formidable as last year. The Artillery in particular will be very strong if they decide to play a Regimental team in the competitions. In some quarters 'a desire has been expressed that the Artillery should enter in Companies, it being held that this would make competition more pen, and would ones, again bring out the latent rivalry between the Companies themselves, but while one Company may be exceptionally strong in talent, the others might not be able to master anything like so powerful a combination, and the difficulties in the way of this suggestion are obvious,

The Rowing Committee regretted to report that it was impossible to hold Regatta this year. The boats are all in good repair. They looked forward to a resumption of interest in rowing soon as present conditions will allow.

He could only say that the Committee would be pleased to receive any suggestions those interested in sailing had to make in that respect As regarded rowing, unfortunately that part of the Club had not received much attention owing to the time of members being taken up in Volunteering. No regatta was held on that account, but they would possibly try and remedy that during the coming year.
Mr. J.W. C. BONNAL BCconded the motion, which was carried with acclama- tion:
Mr. MACDONAL thanked the President for his kind words and the members for the very high honour they had done him. He could promise them that during the ensuing year whatever duties fell on him as President of the Society he would endeavour to carry out to the very best of bis ability. (Applause)
