Treasurer's Report.
The profit of 82,083.93 is consider. ed very satisfactory and is, in fact, one of the most successful years the Club has yet experienced. This profit is accounted for chicly by an increased profit from the Bar and an increase in Members Sub- scriptions While General Expenses show a decrease of 304-17, Club house Maintenance has increased by $307,38, the latter being accounted for in the rewiring of premises.
During the year the Club Cruiser," Monsoon, "was sold to two men- bere of the Club at a resulting pi fit of 801.24.
