by the Treasurers, revealed that, subject to audit, the Association only made a loss of $90 which, in view of the falling gates experi- enced during the year, is consider- ed most satisfactory.

The treasurers considered thatcombe 3 and 2. expenses were at rock bottom and that, but for a falling off of the re- cepts at the Shield final game and in the Governor's cup competition, the year would have closed with a profit.

The League account, which an- nually shows a loss of some $1,500, was this year only $500 and this state of affairs is greatly attribut- able to the splitting up of the Third Division, into sections.

A letter was read from the Chair- man of the Chinese Amateur Ath- letic Federation, requesting that the Council recommend the representa- tion of the Federation on the Coun- cil of the Association. The matter was left to the incoming Council.

The date of the Annual General Meeting was fixed for Monday, July
