The Chairman's Speech. "The CHAIRMAN said that the balance at credit of Profit and Loss Account for the year ending May 31st, 1926, 84.878.79 after allowing for necessary depreciation of stocks and making rẻ- servation for bad and doubtful debts. With the sum of $1.481.12 brought for ward from the previous year, there was a sum of $9,159.90 to be dealt with. It was proposed to appropriate 88,000 to write down cost of patent rights, plant, etc., of Metallisation Ld. and to carry forward a balance of 84.139.90 to next account.
It was to be regretted that figures did not permit them to recommend a dividend on this occasion, but it was many years since they had had to go without a divi- dend, and he was sure they would agree that it was far better to build up their resources than dig into reserves at the present time. The accounts called for little comment, except that it might be- come advisable to dispose of their invest- ments in order to improve their cash position.

THE EAST SURREY TEAM.
There was no match yesterday at the V.R.C. an account of the failure of the East Surrey team to turn up in full.
It is undoubtedly a source of annoy. ance for a team to be ready in the camber for a match and then be die appointed because of the absence of the team whom they expected to play.
The East Surrey team has unaccount- ably been absent on several occasions and it is felt that the League Committee should take the matter in hand. ›
