There was considerable discussion following the proposal from the shair to raise the subscription of senior members (those over 21 years

In the course of the discussion, it was revealed that there was scheme afoot for laying out a lawn howls green and two badminton courts. It was stated that applica. tions had alrently been sent in to the Government who invited the Club to submit their plans.

Mr. J. W. C. Bonnar was elected President for the ensuing year. In thanking the members for the hon. our they had done him, Mr. Bonnar said he would do all he could to help the Clah. The last time, he was made President was twenty years ago but he felt sure that with the support of a crowd of such fine sportsmen, his duties would always be very pleasant.

During the year our worthy Vice-President, Mr. H. R. Forsyth, 9.24 went home on leave, and we look forward to his return carly in the 9.23-,, now season, full of vigour, and willing to assist once again in the 9.32 management of the affairs of the Club.

We were unfortunaté to lose two of our most popular members- Jimmy Boanar, Vice-Captain of the rugger side--who was transferred to Singapore and Jimmy Stewart, our stalwart soccer centre-half, who did seemed service for the long period of 17 seasons, he has now returned to England.

la turning to the financial side of the Club you will see that a net profit of 83,031.63 was made on the year's working, against a loss of 33.831.16 for the previous year, This, you will agree, is a most gratifying result

Sound Financial Position, The fannoint position of the Club is sound as may be seen from the balance sheet. With a membership of almost 600 the small sum of $130 to be written off as bad debts speaks for itself.

A great amount of credit is due to the retiring cominittes for the ellcient manner in which the busi- ness has been conducted through- out the year, and on behalf of the Chub, I would he to tako, this oppurtunity of thanking them for work well done.

I would also like to thank the various sub-committees for their "work" throughout the year, and 1 feel I must specially mention our 'honorary accretary, Mr. MoTavish,

I must also thank the treasurers

for their work during the year, and specially Mr. Alexander, our hon. treasurer. Thanks are also due to our honorary auditors, Messrs. R. West and E. B. Gammell, and the Club is grateful to them for what they have done.

I think I have touched on all the important points of the year's work, and I have now much plen sure in proposing the adoption of the report and accounts, and when some member has seconded this I shall be pleased to answer, to the best of my, ability, any questions that any members may wish to ask.

Thus you breathe in and out anës to each complete áím syèle, niways inhaling over the same shoulder.

Another method which may have sprints is to inhale while on arm "something to recammed it for short is recovering, hold your breath while that arm pulla, exhalo while while it recovers.

Dealing with the first method which is the one that I use: find the head for inhaling and keep to out which way in the easier to turn that side. Never roll from side to sido. Inhale on one side and hale hard under water with eyes

Keep your head turned to the sido until the elbow is in line with your eyes, then turn eyes front, not: down, and commence to oxbale again as you begin the arm pull.

Exhaling is the more dificult part of breathing as you have the pressure of the water to blow against.

The beginner's chief fault is try- ing to inhale anderhale, during the short period that the head is turned to the aide. with the result that he does not, li or empty his lunge and usually pets a mouthful of water. Another common fault is to get only a small bite of air instead of using the whole Jungs. This is often due to tausing the neck and throat uricles,
