Thirdly, the Government having intimated that if the Club had a paying Membership exceeding one hundred it would be eligible for a five yearly allocation, the General Committee have done their utmost to make it as popular as possible. The required figure has sow been exceeded and the Secretary is in communication with the Colonial

Secretary on the subject of a five yearly "allocation.

The present successful state has necessitated an extensive social programme which has involved en tertaining expenses on Д scale which would not be necessary in ordinary years and the limited or ganization with which the General Committee have had to carry out their duties have prevented them from keeping such a striot watch on expenses of this nature as they would have been able to do under ordinary circumstances. On the other hand, it will be seen that the Club have Assets on ita Balance Siret the actual value of which are very much in excess of the figures shown, the principal item in this respect being the cost Pavilion 83,809.92.

The Watsonian Club. The Earl of Elgin, and Kinar dire is to be the principal guest at the annual dinner of the Watsonian Club, which is to be held in the new George Watson's College, on January next.

The Scottish Cup Draw. The most interesting match in the draw for the first round of the Scottish Cup is that between Hamiltom Academicals and Mother well, and the game will prove all the more attractive to Glasgow people since there are no ties in the city likely to yield much in- forest.
