The Annual General Meeting of the members instant, in the Gymnasium, at 6 pm. of the V. R. C. will be held on Tuesday, the 28th.
The following is the report of the boat-house sub-committee:-
We are pleased to report that the amount of interést taken in rowing by the Members has gone on steadily increasing during the past season, and the Regatta of 1888 brought to the front ranks of our local oarsmen several, who at the commencement of the season were hardly to be trusted in anything but a sampan,
As is usual, several repairs to boats have had. to be made during the year, more particularly to the B Class boats.
We would call the attention of the Class Members to the fact that there is a limit to the life (if we may call it 10) of a boat, more parti. cularly when badly treated, and although some of the Class boats seem to have as many lives as a cat, we are afraid that unless they receive more gentle treatment in future than we occasionally saw exhibited during the past season, they will soon become unfit for further service.
We would like to call the attention of the rowing men to the fact that every rowing Member annually costs the Club considerably more than his subscription, and we wpÿld there- fore impress upon them the moral responsibility that rests with them to treat the property of the Club properly.
We are of opinion that any damage caused to the boats by carelessness should be paid for by the persons so damaging them.
Unfortunately the damages are rately dis covered until the boats are being cleaned on the day after they have been used, and as a rule we have been unable to attach such damage to any particular Member. We therefore think it only fair that all damage whether accidental or other- wise should be reported on the return of the boat to the boat-house.
Rev. J. B. Ort was then called. He stated I am a clerk in holy orders. In 1884 I was aware that certain unhappy differences existed between the defendant and his wife, and a deed was prepared on the 19th July which I executed as trustee, under which the defendant was to allow his wife $15 a month for the first six months, and after that $20. He paid for the first six months regularly and on the seventh month sent $15 more. On being reminded that he was to send $20 he pleaded that the rate of exchange was very low. I saw Mr. Russell, and Mr. Hazeland and came to the conclusion that it was better to receive only $15 than nothing. Shortly after wards Mrs. McBreen wrote to me from Singapore that she had been confined, and asking for

The Committee have nothing of much interest to put before the general meeting regarding this department of the Club

It is hoped that these competitions will be an incentive to other Members to attend the classes regularly when next resumed.
The Committee are pleased to report on the efficient manner in which Staff Sergeant Mills has conducted, the classes during the closing season, testimony to which is also borne by the "form" attained by those Members who have availed themselves of his excellent services all through the past six months, and it is only regretted that more gentlemen did not take advantage of the general instruction given,
It is proposed to again secure his services if available after the summer.
In conclusion the Committes have to say that the Gymnasium is in a fair state of repair, and does not necessitate.any additional outlay at present beyond the ordinary minor replacements, but they are of opinion that it would be advisable to procure a new "buck" from home for the next season, as the present ona is not equal to the demands made upon it.
