ed enormous amount of time and energy to the affairs of the Club and the Sub-Cenraittees and the Treasurers have gone into things very thoroughly, and, under the system now in vogue, there can be little room for wastage or leakage. Our chief endeavour, daring the past few years, has been to reduce the Bank overdraft. which had reached such an alarming figure. You will notice the Bank overdraft and accounts payable now amount to $22,435.03, made up of Bank Overdraft, $15,912.76; Accounts payable, 86.533.17; as against last year $42,616.18. a reduction of $20,120.25. Under the heading of Working Account it will be seen that, owing to our growing membership, subscriptions show an in- crease of over $14,000 and the income from green fees has been doubled.· ̈ ̈

On the debit side of the account, main- tenance at Fanling shows an increase This is due to the replacing of crockery, blankets, etc., and the installation of a new battery in the Club house. The cost of sanding the greens in September has been charged to the rear under-review although it could very properly be car ried forward and charged to next year. We will now turn to profit and loss account and you will observe that the cost of the Fanling Water Works, which stood in our books at $8,530, his been completely weten off. Entrance fees are not, now considered part of the profit but are shown as a separate item and paid into a special account with the Bank. Our thanks are due to Sir N. J. Stabb, Mésars. L. N. Leefe, G.

He has supervised the making of paddy fields into the Golf Courses of which we are so proud, and that, of course, in a great measure accounts for the personal pride he takes in their conditions.
