list.

In the course of his opening ad; dress, Mr. Rouse pointed out that the Club had made a small profit on the past year's working which was, perhaps, not very desirable for a Club of that nature but if certain necessary repairs are carried out, the balance would soon disappear.

Bar Profits.

บ

There had been an increased Front on the bar accounts although the sales were less than in the pre- vious year. It must be left to the incoming Committee to see about reducing the prices charged for drinks but, owing to the depreciat ed dollar, the speaker was afraid they would not be able to help much in that direction.

The Officers.

The election of officers resulted in a few changes. fr. Basa declined the offer to continue to net as President, but was returned as Secretary, a position which he had held before. Mr. B. W. Bradbury a former President, was appointed to the position, as against another nomination which was not so well supported. Mr. W. Allen was ap- pointed as Vice President, and he was also made a life member in

recognition of his long connection with the Club for over 30 years, during the greater part of which time he has been actively identified with its welfare. Kharus Treasurer.

of the Navy League,

The Admiralty Warrant to wear the Blue Ensign of the Club is now held by five members. Further craft are being surveyed to enable mem. bers to complete their applications. The initial difficulty of getting yachts registered preparatory to application for Admiralty Warrants has been dealt with and the Com- mittee have pleasure in announcing that yachts of clab members will be measured and registered by the authorities at half the regular fees.

From the accounts, it would be seen that the number of new mem bers enrolled during the year is considerably lower than in the pre- vious year. The total membership of the Club is itself considerably depleted since, despite the benefit of a full year on the basis of the increased subscription as against only three months in the previous period, the total subscriptions show a decrease of $550 approximately. Despite this, however, the Club bas shown a surplus of 8321.51 on the year's working, but on the expendi- ture side of the working account it will be noticed that, whereas in the previous year $508.68 was spent on the maintenance of the Club house, only $81.40 was expended last year. The Club's profit therefore is very largely due to the holding up of repairs on the building which if put in hand might have placed the balance slightly the other way.

The bar profit shows an increase in profit of 8240 on a reduced turn- over, or 20 per cent, of sales as against 21 per cent. This has not been brought about by increased prices to members,
